Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236: You’ve Already Done Your Best

Gu Tong’s heart grumbled silently, but there was no time to voice it. She alertly remembered the main issue and concentrated all her energy on Xia Xi, no longer paying attention to the surrounding scenery.

Gu Tong understood Xia Xi’s unique situation. Now, she must be deeply troubled.

In such a situation, Gu Tong needed to first consider how to ease Xia Xi’s state, rather than getting herself into a crisis.

It’s important to know, this is the Ancient Tomb. For both Xia Xi and Gu Tong, it is a place that can trigger mental distress at any moment, and if not careful, it could lead to utter doom.

That’s why they progressed one after the other, rather than both recalling past life events simultaneously.

At least in this way, if one of them encountered trouble, the other could maintain control and prevent both from simultaneously facing an unexpected situation.

”Hiss...” Xia Xi felt as if her head was splitting open, veins bulging on her forehead, and her temples seemed on the verge of exploding.

However, she was not struck down by the pain; instead, she immensely enjoyed this feeling.

She would rather endure the severe headache to recall those important segments, the things she overlooked in her past life; nothing was more significant than these.

Xia Xi wanted to understand why Gong Chenli had a mishap, why she ultimately stood in the sea of fire, and why she and Gu Tong simultaneously lost their memories. All of this was incredibly important to her...

Life is often unsatisfactory. In her past life, she tasted all kinds of sorrow. In this life, she wanted to completely change the twisted fate, not wanting to lose the Demon King, not wanting to lose Xue Tong, nor wanting to lose the most important people in her life again.

With astonishing willpower, Xia Xi endured the pain, held firm to her beliefs; everything she had endured was the reason she persevered.

”Pain...”

The pain of recovering memories felt like a crack opening in her brain, memories surged forth until reaching the abyss; Xia Xi’s head felt as though it was being shattered, and this agony was unbearable even for the strongest person. Her body wavered and almost simultaneously kneeled on the ground.

”Are you okay?” Gu Tong furrowed her brow in concern, carefully observing Xia Xi’s condition.

This is the most basic check for a Doctor; she needed to understand Xia Xi’s condition and then try to alleviate her situation.

”I’m, I’m okay...” Xia Xi bit hard on her lower lip, which had turned pale and seeped with crimson blood. She knew she had reached her limit and couldn’t continue, weakly saying, ”I saw a dungeon, inside there was you, me, and some blurry faces, but I can confirm that everyone in that prison were women, and they were all injured...”

A dungeon...

Gu Tong didn’t have such an impression in her memory and couldn’t help Xia Xi. She placed a hand on Xia Xi’s head, stroking her long hair, comforting her and saying, ”That’s enough, I know you’ve tried your best!”

The problem with memory is not something easily recalled.

It requires patient gradual progress, slowly adjusting the state; all of this is not accomplished overnight!

Gu Tong understood the bitter struggle in this process, thus affirming all of Xia Xi’s efforts; if not for her desperate persistence and endurance, she wouldn’t have reached this point.

Despite Xia Xi seeming carefree and playful, acting like a heartless little woman, the strength deep within her is incomparable even to the strongest women normally.
