"I can't bear to see you suffer. I... I'll raise the child for you. I remember you. I... I'll listen to everything in the Capital for you. I'll listen to everything about Hongnian for you. You..."
She broke down, crying: "I'll do everything for you, I can't bear to lose you..."
"Yingying, don't cry," Second Master He moved his hand slightly, speaking weakly.
"I won't die, I won't die," he chuckled bitterly, "I'm a coward, didn't die back then, and won't die now either. Bring the medicine, I'll drink it."
He wanted to die, but hearing her sobs, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Yeah, dying could solve everything, but what about her?
What about the two children?
She had a hard time before, with no family to support her. If he died, how could she survive alone with the children?
"Don't cry, don't cry," Second Master He listened to her soft sobs, his heart aching: "I was wrong. From now on, I'll take the medicine, be well."
