Kang Jichuan suddenly choked, and his eyes were filled with sorrow and heartache. He took a deep breath and said, "Xi Xi, I love you too! But I've been by her side for more than ten years. She's the most important person to me. I really can't abandon her. If you come back, she'll lose everything."
In her dream, Qiao Xi lowered her head. At this moment, she seemed to not care about Kang Jichuan's weak explanation anymore. Her only thought was to survive. She was looking for a chance to escape.
When she ran out of the hospital, she stole a gun. She raised the gun and aimed it at Kang Jichuan's head, her eyes filled with pain.
Even someone as strong as Qiao Xi was unable to accept being betrayed by someone she trusted. Moreover, Kang Jichuan was her brother, yet he wanted her life.
Kang Jichuan was not afraid of her gun and even slowly walked toward her. "Xi Xi, you have no idea how painful her life has been all these years. On the surface, she's the glorious daughter of the Kang family, but in reality, my father gives her all material enjoyment except love. He doesn't allow her to step into your room and always emphasizes that she's just your substitute. If you go home, Kang Qingzhi will know that her title won't belong to her anymore. She'll be abandoned and even chased out of the house immediately.
He smiled bitterly helplessly. "She's been weak and sick since she was young. Her yearly medical fees aren't something that ordinary families can afford. If she leaves the Kang family, will she still be able to live? You're both my younger sisters. You're so healthy, and so many people love you, but Qingzhi only has me. I only hope that she can live well. Xi Xi, can you understand me?
"Because of you, her life has already been very painful. Take it as though you're making it up to her now, alright?"
Qiao Xi was like a soul that floated in midair as she watched this scene coldly. She could not help but sneer.
Kang Qingzhi knew that she was her substitute, so her life was very painful?
However, what did this have to do with her? Kang Qingzhi knew that she was the daughter adopted by the Kang family. Even if Kang Qingzhi was really in pain, it was not her fault. It was Kang Ru and the rest of the Kang family's fault.
To her, the Kang family was just strangers. Even if they were really related by blood, they had no right to threaten her!
Kang Qingzhi knew that Qiao Xi was not the one who caused her suffering, so why did Qiao Xi have to make up for all of it? If she had to do this, who could she blame for what she suffered?
Kang Jichuan's eyes were filled with heartache. "Xi Xi, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Don't blame Qingzhi. She's already very pitiful. In the future, we'll all be fine as long as you don't appear in Y Nation anymore.
"Fortunately, Father doesn't know that you're still alive, and you'll never see him again. I'll help you erase this memory. Soon, you'll forget the painful memories. When you wake up again, you'll completely forget about me and everything that happened in Y Nation. You'll start a new life.
"Xi Xi, put down the gun and follow me. I'll find a chance to send you away."
Suddenly, the scene in front of Qiao Xi's eyes shattered into countless scenes. Frame by frame, they flashed past her eyes. She saw herself being pressed tightly onto a bed. Her blood was quickly extracted, and her body gradually became cold. Kang Jichuan stood at the side, his eyes bloodshot with a trace of heartache. "Xi Xi, close your eyes and don't look. It'll be over soon. Qingzhi has suffered so much for you. It's time for you to compensate her.
"Xi Xi, why are you so heartless? Qingzhi is about to die. Only you can save her. It's not like I want your life. I just want your blood!
"I'm sorry, Xi Xi. I can't let you leave for the time being. Qingzhi is still waiting for your blood. I need to save her life. If you leave, she'll die!
"I know you've contacted the divine physician, but Y Nation is the Kang family's territory. Even if he comes, he won't be able to find you. Don't waste your effort."
The doctor's voice sounded in her ears again. "Mr. Kang, you can't continue. If this goes on, Miss Qiao will bleed to death."
Kang Jichuan walked to the bed and gently stroked her sweat-drenched hair. He said softly, "Xi Xi, hold on a little longer. Qingzhi is really going to die. She needs your blood.
"Forgetting this memory is the best outcome for all of us. If we don't meet again in the future, you'll forget your hatred for good and live a happy life. Qingzhi has also recovered her health. She has become a cheery person now. The Kang family likes her very much. She can finally become the real eldest daughter of the Kang family, so… don't appear again.
"Xi Xi, I love you, but I was forced to do it. I can't just watch Qingqing die…"
