Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 440: Chapter 439: Heart Dies, Heart Revives

Old Zhang personally recounted the incident, and it was only then that Lin Dongfang finally understood what had happened during this time.

He too fell into silence, lying quietly in bed as though he were dead, never speaking another word.

”Brother, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry...” Lin Ting continued to wail beside him.

Unable to hold back, Old Zhang rebuked, ”What’s the use of saying sorry now? Your grandmother has died, your brother is in this state, and now you realize you regret it, now you say you’re sorry. What were you doing earlier?”

Lin Ting cried even harder, clutching Lin Dong’s hand, pleading, ”Brother, I... I know you won’t forgive me, this is all my fault. Please, just say a word to me, say anything, you can hit me, scold me, just please don’t ignore me, okay...”

Lin Dong sighed, choking up, ”Tingting, I’m not ignoring you, I... I just feel so bad inside. This morning, I promised Grandma, after we finished the work at home, I would take her out for a walk, to bask in the sun. But, she died without ever getting to go outside...”

Lin Ting’s crying grew even more intense, her voice trembling, ”Brother, it’s all my fault, punish me, hit me, scold me. I have wronged you all...”

”Tingting, don’t speak like that,” Lin Dong gently stroked Lin Ting’s head, murmuring softly, ”You are my sister, no matter what you do, I will forgive you...”

Lin Ting was stunned. She had thought that Lin Dong would lose his temper, that he would get angry, that he would hit her and scold her. But Lin Dong had said these words, something she could never have imagined.

A while later, Lin Ting burst into tears once again. In this moment, she finally realized just how deep Lin Dong’s love for her was.

But alas, it was all too late!

Lin Dong, with his eyes closed, possibly overwhelmed with grief or perhaps due to his injuries, gradually slipped back into unconsciousness.

”That’s enough, stop your damn wailing!” Old Zhang snapped furiously, ”Can’t you see your brother has passed out? I’m really done with it, what kind of thinking is this from your brother, to even forgive you for this? If it were me, I would have beaten you to death for sure!”

Lin Ting sat in a daze, thinking about what Lin Dong had said, reflecting on her own actions, and fell again into a dead silence.

Old Zhang ended up torturing Little White Face and his companions to death, while Su Yang took Lin Dong to an inside room for some quiet recuperation.

As for Lin Ting, she remained seated on the floor, no one paying her any attention again, as if she were invisible.

The next morning, when people went to the room, they were horrified to discover that someone was hanging from the ceiling beam – it was Lin Ting.

In the end, she chose to end her own life!

She left a letter on the floor beside her, with just one line written on it – ”In this life, I have wronged you all. In the next life, I will be a beast of burden to repay you!”

Su Yang was called over, and looking at Lin Ting’s body, which had already gone cold, ultimately did not attempt to save her.

In this lifetime, people must ultimately pay the price for their actions. Lin Ting had done so much, and it was only fitting that this was her end.

Ye Wantong stood next to Su Yang, her mood also downcast, whispering, ”Lin Dong has awakened, how should we tell him?”

”Tell the truth,” Su Yang said.

”But... but he won’t be able to handle it...” Ye Wantong interjected anxiously, ”Lin Ting was his last remaining relative, and now even Lin Ting is dead, I... I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it!”

Su Yang closed his eyes slightly, ”Even so, it’s not possible to keep it from him forever!”

Ye Wantong sighed and at that very moment, a little puppy came toddling over, whimpering underfoot. Ye Wantong quickly picked up the puppy and remarked with emotion, ”This is Da Huang’s child, the one that was injured before. I dressed its wounds and have been taking care of it by my side. I never expected that it would actually escape disaster!”

Su Yang looked at the puppy and remembered Da Huang, who had always been by Lin Dong’s side, and couldn’t help but feel moved once again.

Sometimes, humans aren’t even as good as dogs!

Lin Dong finally woke up, and Su Yang told him the news of Lin Ting’s death.

Lin Dong’s eyes were now blind, and when he heard Su Yang’s words, the anticipated yelling and agitation did not occur. Instead, he just calmly opened his eyes as if the matter he had heard was completely unrelated to him.

Su Yang didn’t know what Lin Dong was thinking. In a soft voice, he said, ”Death cannot be reversed. In fact, even if your sister were alive, she would never have been able to get over this in her heart.”

Lin Dong sighed and said in a low voice, ”Thank you, Brother Su. I... I want to rest for a bit...”

Su Yang looked at Lin Dong and could tell what was going through his mind, but in the end, he didn’t speak and slowly left the room.

In truth, before Lin Ting died, Lin Dong’s heart was already full of despair.

Whether he could get past this or not was up to Lin Dong himself—no one else could help him.

Su Yang was very clear in his mind: if Lin Dong could get over this, his future would be boundless!

Hearing the door close, Lin Dong opened his eyes again. Even though he couldn’t see anything, he still fumbled to get up from the bed.

Su Yang had already given him acupuncture and some medicine, so he had recovered quite a bit; at least he was able to move around.

Lin Dong groped his way to the table and, after searching with his hand for a while, grabbed a glass cup. He smashed the glass cup and then bent down to squat, groping to pick up a shard of the broken glass.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Dong placed the shard on his wrist and slowly pressed down.

Su Yang stood at the door, knowing what was happening inside just by listening to the noises coming from the room.

But he didn’t go inside, nor did he try to stop it.

He knew that all of Lin Dong’s attachments were gone and his heart was filled with despair. If his heart could not be revived, what difference would it make if Su Yang could save him? He might as well be dead. Rather than that, it would be better to give him a quick end.

Lin Dong slowly pressed the shard down, feeling the pain in his wrist, yet he didn’t make a sound.

As the glass pierced into his skin, just as Lin Dong was about to apply force to cut open his vein, something fluffy crawled over to his feet, humming softly, and licked Lin Dong with a small tongue.

Lin Dong was startled and bent down, reaching out to touch the little creature. After feeling it carefully, Lin Dong’s face finally showed some expression.

This little one was the only surviving puppy!

Collapsing to the floor, Lin Dong picked up the puppy and couldn’t help but burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably like a child.

Su Yang, standing at the doorway, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Dong finally had something to hold onto again—his heart was revived!
