"Then scold me, scold me as hard as you can. I will absolutely not retort or tell dad! I did something wrong, I deserve to be scolded. As long as you don't stay mad at me after scolding me, it's okay."
"Haha~" a cold laugh comes from He Teng's mouth, "Is there any use in scolding you? If scolding you could make you wake up, wouldn't you have woken up a long time ago? Why would you wait until now?"
It was impossible for He Teng not to be angry, but seeing the pitiful look in He Zhilan's eyes, his anger dissipated. He wanted to fiercely scold He Zhilan, but seeing her suffering from the illness, he just couldn't bring himself to do so.
He Zhilan's apology, sincere and heartfelt. Her clear eyes were filled with remorse. Every time their eyes would meet, He Teng would almost believe that Zhilan truly regretted her actions and was on the verge of forgiving Zhilan. But then he would recall Zhilan at her most ruthless.
