The ward instantly fell silent. It was so silent that there was an indescribable stillness, a suffocating feeling. Krystal's expression had turned pale and stiff underneath Kai's disappointed and dim gaze.
Kai stared at Krystal, catching all her reactions. A while passed before he continued, "By this point, I've been organizing and analyzing everything between us from the start till now. I admit that we did have many happy times in between, but, Krystal, the journey in the future is much longer. I had to reevaluate and reorientate our relationship after everything that has happened."
"Kai, that's enough. Please don't continue..."
As if knowing what Kai was about to say next, Krystal clung onto Kai in panic. She wanted to reach out to cover Kai's mouth, preventing him from continuing.
While Kai was determined to settle things once and for all, he reached out to catch her hand, and say in an extremely heavy tone, "Krystal, let me finish."
"I cannot just pretend that all of this didn't happen. Rather than force ourselves to go on like this, we should just be frank. Given your current situation, I won't be irresponsible. When Yueying and the Han Corporation is steady, and all of these rumors have passed, we will settle this thing between us too. This child... I hope that you can get an abortion. I'll do my best to compensate you. Another choice is to give birth to this child, but after one year, I'll hand you the divorce papers and give you a huge compensation."
Kai had been struggling for the past few days. When he had to make such a decision, he also felt very extremely pained, yet now after the words came out of his mouth, he unexpectedly felt very calm and he seemed to be relieved too.
"What...? Kai, you... What are you saying? You want me to abort our child? You want to divorce me?" Krystal widened her swollen eyes in disbelief and fixed them on Kai. Her eyes were filled with shock and her whole body turned stiff. "You want me to abort our child? Is it..."
When he saw that Krystal was about to have a breakdown, Kai felt indescribable anguish in his heart, but he still answered firmly, "I just hope that these things won't become even messier in the future. Making things as simple as possible if the best ending for the two of us."
"No! I don't want to! I don't want to!"
Bam!
Witnessing Kai's firmness, Krystal instantly went mad. She flailed her hands around and swept them across the cabinet. The things on the cabinet fell to the ground. She even picked up one of the glasses and hurled it at Kai as she held her belly in panic and cried amidst what seemed like a meltdown. "I won't abort him! He's our child! You're so cruel! Get out! Get out! I will neverabort him..."
Kai did not dodge, so he was hit by the glass and the warm wet liquid splashed all over him. The glass shattered in front of him...
He stood where he was and watched Krystal who was weeping out loud into the blanket. His eyes darkened as he fell silent for a moment before finally sighing and turning to leave.
Before he walked to the door, Kai suddenly stopped and said, "You can choose one of the choices between the two. I'm still giving you a choice and I will respect it."
"Do you have to make me abort the child and divorce you because of that small thing with Jennie? I already said that those things are in the past. Isn't everyone alright now? Why do you have to keep holding onto to it? Kai, everyone's tired. If we can just let go of all of this and start again, we'll be very happy. Do you think that even when we've parted, you and Jennie can return to how you were?"
Krystal wept and looked at Kai, her hoarse voice now colored with brimming anger.
With regards to such unreasonable criticism, Kai felt powerless once again. His back against her, he said without even turning to look, "Whatever that's happened between you and me is just because of our problems. It has nothing to do with anyone else. You don't have to drag Jennie in. There were already too many problems between us, and you know this yourself."
"Nothing to do with her? Is defending her all you know now? Then, let me ask you, what is this? What is this!?"
As Krystal's questioning hammered at him, there was a flutter and suddenly pictures rained all around Kai out of nowhere!
There were pictures of Kai and Jennie from the other day at the riverside. The pictures had been taken from all sorts of angles, so it looked like they were very close, as if the two were having a lovers' rendezvous.
Pa!
With the angry sound of that, those pictures flew all around and fell messily about Kai. He frowned and subconsciously looked down at the pictures.
Unexpectedly, he saw pictures of him and Jennie!
Stunned, he suddenly seemed to think of something and his face sank. His stern face flashed with coldness as he looked up abruptly at the tearful and angry Krystal. Coldly, he demanded, "You hired someone to follow me?"
Krystal did not answer Kai's question. She just silently cried as she looked at Kai with a fury that could not be concealed in her swollen eyes.
Kai's face fell. He looked down apathetically and bent over to pick up the pictures that had fallen to the ground.
All of them were indeed shot very clearly and looked intimate. Suddenly, the scene of him meeting Jennie the other day flashed through his mind...
That day, Lisa had been there too!
Suddenly, Kai had a complicated expression. His chest started to feel an indescribable tightness.
A memorable love...
These words flashed through his mind all of a sudden. Instantly, they suddenly became like ice needles, piercing into his body. All he felt was coldness, pain, numbness...
"Didn't you say that you and her are a thing of the past? Then, tell me, what are these? Kai... I've always believed that you loved me deeply and wouldn't cause such a huge ruckus over these things, but this time, why...? You've already forgiven me so many times. Would this one time make a difference? I just need this once! Is it because of this? Is this why you're treating me this way?"
Krystal's hands clasped tightly around him as she stared at Kai questioningly.
Kai suddenly shut his eyes with fatigue. He inhaled sharply and opened his eyes after a while. Casually tossing the pictures aside, he did not bother with Krystal any further and continued walking away.
"Jennie and Lisa already got married before the New Year. Don't you think that all of this is such a joke?"
With that said, the tall figure vanished out of the door...
