Yi Jinli said, "It wasn’t coincidental. Hao Yimeng chose you to be the scapegoat. She had her eyes on Xiao Ziqi, but you were Xiao Ziqi's girlfriend at the time. Making you take the blame was the perfect plan."
Ling Yiran instantly felt her hair standing on end.
It turned out Hao Yimeng wanted to kill two birds with one stone!
She was not made the scapegoat by chance; it had all been planned!
Ling Yiran closed her eyes to digest the truth.
Most truths were cruel, but maybe she would face something crueler afterward.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands tightly gripped the thin blanket that covered her body. After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked at Yi Jinli again. "You only helped me reverse my case because you didn’t want me to find out the truth, right? So you found Wan Yuming and made me think that was the truth to everything?"
Yi Jinli's body shook a little, and he slowly walked toward Ling Yiran.
The closer he got, the tighter she gripped the sheets. Finally, he stood at the bedside and half-knelt before her. "I'm sorry. I thought it was the best way to close the case."
He never thought he would say sorry so many times!
However, these days, he had apologized countless times. When she was awake, and... sound asleep...
'Forgive...' Ling Yiran stared blankly at Yi Jinli. He was kneeling in front of her with pain and remorse on his face, but... 'How can I ever forgive him? The truth came too late.'
It was too late and she had already suffered too much. She had even firmly believed the truth he gave her.
‘But I’ve found out now that he knew all about my sufferings! If... I hadn't found him after my release from prison and if he had not fallen in love with me, what would have become of me?'
Ling Yiran's silence made Yi Jinli grab her hand in a hurry. His hand was cold and slightly trembling. When he took her hand, it was as if he were clinging desperately to a piece of driftwood.
It was as if he could not let go no matter what, and he would drown if he did.
