Chapter 263 I Have Always Been Here (1)_1

"It's all my fault, all my fault... I've brought this upon you all, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Upon hearing Han Jingnian break down once again, Xia Wan'an, though terrified, found a surprising reserve of courage. She abruptly jumped to her feet and launched herself at him, arms wrapping around Jingnian.

Almost without thinking, Jingnian broke free from Xia Wan'an, throwing her roughly onto the ground.

Ignoring her pain, Xia Wan'an rose and stubbornly embraced Jingnian once more, "Han Jingnian, it's me... Xia Wan'an, Han Jingnian..."

Jingnian couldn't take in her words. The darkness was drenching him so deeply in his own nightmares that he couldn't pull himself out.

His only thought was to break free from the person shackling him.

Having failed once, Xia Wan'an was literally clinging onto him with all her might this time.

Still, Jingnian bit by bit managed to pry her loose, dramatically tearing her from him but halting just as he was about to cast her aside.
