Chapter 6 — Half a Life for a Life

Mom leaned her hand against the door frame. His eyes were broken little by little.
“So… those two hundred thousand… is Han Han's money?”
Dad opened his mouth. But couldn't say a word. Suddenly. He raised his hand. Slap yourself hard in the face.
“And yet I still say…”
“He has never given the family a single penny.”
“How could I say those words?”
“I'm not human.”
A Nghien's face turned pale. He stared at the family photo. As if someone was strangling me. The next second. He bent over. Spit out a mouthful of blood.
“A Nghien!”
Tieu Mong shouted. Rushed to help him. I also instinctively raised my hand. But… The hand pierced his body. I can't grasp anything. Mom didn't seem to hear Tieu Mong's cries. She just held my phone. Then suddenly smiled. That smile. It's even more unsightly than crying.
“Han Han.”
“Why are you so stupid?”
“Even wanting us to live more comfortably…”
“I also secretly did it alone.”
"I'm not lucky enough to keep you."
Stop talking. She suddenly threw her head into the wall. Dad quickly rushed to stop her. The two of them fell to the ground. The whole house was in complete chaos. I was floating in mid-air. Suddenly feeling confused. Obviously I left... To free them. Obviously I left the money behind. Has given way to the road ahead. Brought A Nghien into marriage. I tried so hard... To let everyone go. But why... To the end. No one gets a happy ending?

Tieu Mong called an ambulance. Due to the acute irritation reaction, the old disease recurs and causes gastrointestinal bleeding. A Nghien fell into a coma. I stood next to the hospital bed. Look at his pale face. There's still a dull pain in my heart. Obviously I died. Yet seeing them suffer... I still feel pain. But why... That year I was in pain for such a long time. Are they gradually no longer visible? Three days later. A Nghien finally woke up. In the hospital room. Only Tieu Mong remained by his side. Her eyes were puffy. Carefully hold his hand.
“Ah Nghien, you're awake.”
“The doctor said I can't take any more stimulation.”
“You rest well, later we…”
A Nghien gently withdrew his hand.
“Tieu Mong.”
“Let's get a divorce.”
Tieu Mong's whole body stiffened.
“What did you say?”
"Why?"
A Nghien closed his eyes. Tears slid down my temples.
“Your life…”
“It was you who changed it for me.”
“Your job.”
“Your wedding.”
“The new life I thought I had…”
“Everything is something I trade with my whole life.”
“But you take my pain for granted.”
“Consider your request for help as trouble.”
“I saved you.”
“But you…”
“Can't save you again.”
Tieu Mong cried and shook her head.
“I really didn't know it would turn out like this.”
“I thought she just wanted everyone to feel guilty.”
“I want to keep you by my side.”
“If you knew her illness was that serious.”
“I definitely won't let her drink alcohol.”
“I won't take that fifty thousand either.”
"And don't ask for that dress..."
A Nghien opened his eyes. His gaze was so cold that there was no warmth left.
“Stop talking.”
“I don't know…”
“It's because I never wanted to know.”
“Tieu Mong.”
“I don't blame you alone.”
“It's just…”
“You can't pretend like nothing ever happened.”
“Then continue to live your happy life me."
“I can't feel anything anymore.”
“Even though you ruined my whole life…”
“I can't make it up to you.”
“But at least.”
“I can't continue to step on your life…”
“…to embrace this thing called happiness.”
