Chapter 498: Chapter 498: You…Saw it in a Dream?_1
At this point, she was certain that Dongfang Yu knew about her previous life.
But why would he know about it?
If he also reincarnated, why would he?
She was reincarnated because she died a gruesome death, so if Dongfang Yu also reincarnated, what could be the reason?
What happened after she died in her previous life?
There were countless questions swirling in Hai Xiaotang’s mind, she was so restless and eager to know the answers.
…
The car finally arrived home.
DongFang Yu carried Hai Xiaotang out of the car and into the villa, then upstairs, to their bedroom.
He put Hai Xiaotang on the bed, helped her take off her shoes, and tucked her in.
“Do you need water? Are you hungry? Did you get hurt somewhere?” Dongfang Yu asked with concern.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, clutching his hand, “I’m okay. Dongfang Yu, just tell me right now, what’s going on?”
She wanted the answers right now!
Dongfang Yu’s dark eyes flickered, “I have been unsure how to tell you. But now, there is no point in hiding it from you anymore. Hai Xiaotang, you’ve guessed right, I know your secret!”
“My secret?” Hai Xiaotang asked tentatively.
Dongfang Yu nodded, holding her hand tightly, “I know you’ve died once! You once told me that you had died once, but I didn’t understand what you meant until last time when I almost died and was unconscious for a while and dreamt of many strange things, I understood what you meant!”
Hai Xiaotang quickly sat upright, finding it hard to believe, “So you… dreamt of it all?”
Dongfang Yu nodded, his face grave, “Yes, not all of it, but I saw a lot of things. I dreamt that I didn’t like Hai Xiaotang, I was very mean to her, I dreamt that I abandoned her and fell in love with another woman…”
Hai Xiaotang was agape with shock and, overall, quite astounded. Her emotions were complex.
She had never imagined that Dongfang Yu would know about her previous life.
She thought that no one would ever discover the secret of her current life…
Dongfang Yu caressed her face, a faint sorrow reflected in his eyes, “Then she made a mistake and was locked up. However, I never thought about rescuing her. I even planned to marry another woman…”
Upon saying this, Dongfang Yu felt too distressed to continue.
In the past life, he might have had no feelings for Hai Xiaotang, so he didn’t feel much as those events unfolded.
But in this life, he loved her dearly.
Looking back on those events with this perspective, he felt guilty, remorseful, and he hated himself for treating her that way.
For hurting her like that…
He even wished he could go back and kill his past self!
The urge to kill that version of himself came from the fact that he hadn’t cherished Hai Xiaotang, his wife, and had pushed her to the point of despair, leading to her suicide.
“Hai Xiaotang…” Dongfang Yu’s eyes were tinged with red, his voice hoarse, “I never thought that you were in so much pain and despair! I didn’t know that you loved me so much! And it was my heartlessness that hurt you so deeply!”
“Only when I saw you running desperately into the wall to commit suicide, seeing you die with such despair, did I understand your pain…”
“I rushed in to save you at that moment, I begged you not to die, but it was too late. You had lost too much blood, I saw the despair and the sense of release in your eyes before you died, and I heard you say…not to love me again!”
“Stop talking…” Hai Xiaotang shook her head, already sobbing uncontrollably.
