章 517: 516 Regret Not Having Done Differently (Third Watch of the Night)

Li Xianyun bit her lip, a complex expression on her face.

What use were Murong Ce's many apologies?

Huanhuan would never come back.

Besides, his apologies were not purely intended; they were simply meant to win her forgiveness, to have her follow him.

Moreover, what right did she have to forgive him on Huanhuan's behalf?

Huanhuan had died such a tragic death, her family condemned to a lifetime of pain, unable to live normal lives.

Could a single apology really smooth over and cancel out all that?

Li Xianyun's gaze cut through Murong Ce's heart like a knife.

But Murong Ce was not angry. He had wronged her maid, who was like a sister to her, and anything she did was a deserved punishment for him.

He was a lunatic who only ever felt a semblance of conscience in Li Xianyun's presence, only then did he seem human, alive like a normal person.

He couldn't live without her.
