Fang Ze's massage of his grandmother suddenly froze.

He quietly looked at Liang Yu sitting opposite him, a faint coral red tinge appearing at the corners of his eyes.

A barely perceptible hint of weariness and panic welled up in those dark eyes.

Fang Ze could clearly sense Liang Yu's rejection of him.

He didn't understand how things had turned out this way.

He simply wanted to keep Liang Yu by his side.

Why did Liang Yu drift further away from him the more he tried to persuade her to stay?

Liang Yu was not like this before.

For six years, Liang Yu has been the woman who has always been around him, showering him with love.

How could someone change so drastically in just one month?

They had gone through the darkest moments of their lives together and should have been the closest people in each other's worlds.

How did things turn out this way between them?

Fang Ze didn't want to believe, deep down, that Liang Yu would really leave him.

Even though Liang Yu is Liang An's daughter, he can give Liang Yu more than Liang An can give her.

Even though the Fang Group is now under Yan Qi's control, he is confident that he can turn the tables and create a brand new Fang Group.

He could provide Liang Yu with the best material life, and allow Liang Yu to live forever in a wealthy and comfortable castle.

He couldn't understand what Liang Yu could possibly be dissatisfied with.

Liang Yu is probably just throwing a tantrum.

Fang Ze's throat felt terribly congested, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse and low:

"Xiao Yu, are you not going home because you're still angry? Angry that I didn't rush home to come to the hospital with you today?"

Liang Yu finally looked up at Fang Ze, his eyes indifferent, his voice devoid of any emotion:

"Let's go outside and talk, so as not to disturb Grandma."

After Liang Yu finished speaking, he lowered his eyelashes and stopped looking at Fang Ze.

She gently lowered her grandmother's arm, slowly straightened up, and walked lightly toward the ward door.

Fang Ze also slowly lowered his grandmother's arm and followed Liang Yu quietly.

Liang Yu stopped at the corner at the end of the corridor, turned sideways, and faced Fang Ze beside him.

She still maintained that aloof demeanor, and softly said to Fang Ze:

"Fang Ze, we've already signed the divorce papers. The villa in Redwood Bay is no longer my home."

"I don't want to go to the villa in Redwood Bay because I'm afraid that if I take another step inside, you'll put me under house arrest again and I'll never be able to get out again."

Fang Ze lowered his eyelashes and looked at Liang Yu in front of him.

He frowned slightly, and a faint redness appeared in the depths of his eyes beneath his long eyelashes.

Fang Ze's lips twitched, his voice hoarse and almost inaudible, yet carrying a faint plea:

"Xiao Yu, I'm just so afraid that you'll get hurt again. I can't even imagine what I would do if you were hurt."

"Xiao Yu, I promise I'll never let those bodyguards restrict your freedom to come and go from the villa again. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

Liang Yu raised his eyelashes to look at Fang Ze, his eyes cold and his attitude indifferent as he replied:

"Fang Ze, didn't you hear what I said?"

"I said, we're already divorced, and we'll get our divorce certificate in about twenty days. The villa in Sequoia Bay is no longer my home."

After a pause, Liang Yu emphasized it again:

"Fang Ze, I don't want to go back to the villa in Redwood Bay."

A dull ache suddenly welled up in Fang Ze's heart.

This dull pain slowly corroded his entire heart like venom, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He took a step forward and gently put his hands around Liang Yu's shoulders.

Stray hairs falling across his forehead obscured his eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to discern his expression.

Fang Ze's voice was hoarse and trembling, almost pleading as he spoke:

"Xiao Yu, what will it take for you to forgive me?"

After saying this, Fang Ze's shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.

He tried his best to suppress the bitterness and burning pain surging in his heart, but he couldn't stop it no matter what.

This unprecedented feeling of emptiness and pain spread throughout his body in an instant, eventually eroding all his composure and restraint.

Liang Yu looked at Fang Ze in front of him with some surprise.

She had never seen Fang Ze so vulnerable and fragile.

In Liang Yu's eyes, Fang Ze had always been a superior, gentle, and dignified person.

She never expected that Fang Ze would have such a vulnerable side.

Perhaps she had never actually met Fang Ze.

Perhaps Fang Ze never truly understood his own heart.

Liang Yu sighed softly and replied gently:

"Fang Ze, we have Shi Ya between us. How can we make it work together?"

"Back then, if you hadn't saved me, you probably could have rescued Shi Ya from the bus, right?"

"So, all these years, whenever you see me, does it remind you of that car accident?"

Fang Ze suddenly looked up at Liang Yu.

The blood vessels in his eyes were completely visible, and his gaze was filled with struggle and pain, like a beast on the verge of despair.

Fang Ze's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but he ultimately didn't utter a single word.

Liang Yu's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through all his pretense over the years.

Actually, Fang Ze isn't incapable; he just can't be with Liang Yu.

The closer he got to Liang Yu, the more he couldn't shake off the memory of the car accident from his mind.

Shi Ya's last look at him.

The last smile Shi Ya gave him.

That day, Shi Ya was stuck in her seat. Even though she was in a lot of pain, she still smiled gently at him and told him that she was fine.

That day, it was indeed Shi Ya who asked him to rescue Liang Yu first.

He also thought that after rescuing Liang Yu, he could go back to rescue Shi Ya.

But the bus exploded.

Just as he was about to go back to save Shi Ya.

Shi Ya is gone.

Shi Ya was instantly engulfed by the exploding flames.

Fang Ze asked himself honestly, and he regretted it.

He didn't regret saving Liang Yu, but rather regretted not rescuing Shi Ya and Liang Yu together.

The closer Fang Ze got to Liang Yu, the deeper his regret became.

Therefore, he could only deliberately keep a certain distance from Liang Yu.

But Liang Yu never used to care about such distances.

Why did you suddenly start to care?

Shi Yadu is no longer alive.

He'll forget about the car accident eventually.

Liang Yu had been with him for six years, so why couldn't he stay with him for a few more years?

Why can't we give him a little more time?

Why did he choose to leave Liang Yu when he had gotten used to Liang Yu's presence?

The color drained from Fang Ze's face, turning it as pale as paper.

His eyes were as dark as ink, and he spoke with difficulty:

"Xiao Yu, can you give me some time?"

Liang Yu replied calmly:

"Fang Ze, I don't have many six-year periods in my life. We are both victims of that car accident, and we both need to be healed."

"It's not your fault that you couldn't save Shi Ya."

"Let me go, and let yourself go too, okay?"

Fang Ze felt the black hole in his heart growing larger and larger, an empty and painful void that made him feel suffocated and powerless.

The person who waited for him to come home all night just a while ago can now turn around and leave immediately when they say they want to.

There was not even a sliver of room for hesitation or relenting.

A feeling of being rejected and abandoned overwhelmed Fang Ze, making it hard for him to breathe.

It made him feel like a discarded piece of old stuff, utterly worthless.

Fang Ze's breathing became more and more rapid and heavy, his chest heaving violently as if it were about to explode.

He instinctively raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, his fingers gripping the collar of his shirt tightly, trying to relieve the suffocating pain.

But all his struggles were in vain; the excruciating pain was almost consuming him.

Liang Yu moved aside, increasing the distance between herself and Fang Ze.

She whispered to Fang Ze:

"Fang Ze, let's stop this entanglement. Divorce is the best option for us right now."

"Perhaps years from now, you'll be able to move on from the trauma of that car accident, and maybe then we'll meet again."

"Perhaps by then, we can still be friends."

"So, Fang Ze, let's meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau in a while."

After Liang Yu finished speaking, he smiled slightly at Fang Ze and said:

Goodbye, Fang Ze. I hope we can both be well in the future.

After Liang Yu finished speaking, he took a few steps back and then turned and walked towards his grandmother's hospital room.

Fang Ze staggered forward, trying to catch up with Liang Yu.

But then a loud explosion of a bus suddenly echoed in my head.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

All that remained in my mind was a chaotic buzzing sound.

Fang Ze felt his temples throbbing wildly, his vision blurred, and it felt as if all support had been removed from his feet. His knees slammed heavily to the ground, and everything in his vision became a blurry double image.

The dull thud of both knees hitting the ground was particularly clear in the silent corridor.

Upon hearing the sound, Liang Yu immediately turned around to look at Fang Ze.

She saw Fang Ze kneeling in her direction, his arms braced against the ground, supporting his slightly hunched back, trembling all over, looking extremely painful.

Just as Liang Yu was hesitating whether to call the doctor, he saw Fang Ze fall to his side on the ground.

She immediately ran towards the nurses' station and said to the nurse:

"Nurse, someone has fainted in the hallway, please go and check on them quickly."

Upon hearing this, the on-duty nurse immediately picked up the first-aid kit and followed Liang Yu quickly over.

The nurse saw Fang Ze collapse on the ground, rushed over, knelt down, checked his breathing and carotid artery, then flipped his eyelids over, before calling out towards the nurses' station:

"Dr. Li, someone has fainted over here, come quick!"

The on-duty doctor arrived quickly with two nurses.

The doctor, holding a stethoscope, quickly performed a simple examination on Fang Ze.

After the examination, the on-duty doctor said in a calm tone:

"It might be fainting caused by low blood sugar. Quickly, get her to the emergency room for IV fluids and oxygen, do an ECG, and monitor her blood sugar."

Three nurses worked together to lift Fang Ze onto a stretcher, then laid him flat on a mobile gurney. The three of them pushed the gurney quickly toward the emergency room.

Before leaving, the doctor on duty left Liang Yu with these words:

"Who are you to the patient? Hurry up and go to the front to complete the admission and examination procedures for the patient."
