Chapter 1111: He Is Actually a Good Man
“He didn’t know that not all blood from HIV-positive people could be used to infect others. I had already been on medication for three years when he took my blood and I was on the best medication available overseas. The chance of me infecting others was 0%, so my blood could not be used to infect others,” Xia Yuwei said.
Her voice was soft and hoarse. She took several sips of coffee after she spoke.
He Xiyan froze and she was surprised to hear that this was the reason why she had not been infected.
She also felt very blessed when she found out that the blood smeared on the knife did not have the power to infect her. Otherwise, she would not be as fortunate.
She was surprised to learn that Xia Yuwei had helped her.
“Thank you for not telling that person the truth,” she said after she took a deep breath.
She could tell that Xia Yuwei was a changed woman and she was no longer as detestable as she used to be.
She thought that perhaps it was this terminal illness that had caused her to grow a conscience, reflect upon her past actions, and turn over a new leaf.
Xia Yuwei shook her head and said, “There’s no need to thank me.”
She did not tell Brother Long the truth because she didn’t want He Xiyan to end up in the same predicament as her and to be despised and shunned by society.
“Do you hate me?”
Xia Yuwei suddenly asked the question that had been nagging her.
She felt that the people she had let down in this lifetime were Mo Yixuan and He Xiyan. She had come in between them and ruined their marriage. If she had not plotted to destroy their marriage, they would probably still be man and wife.
He Xiyan looked down and there was a flash of emotion in her eyes. There was a dull ache in her heart but that soon passed.
“No, I don’t,” she said as she took a deep breath. “Even if it wasn’t you, another woman would have come between us. We were simply not compatible.”
He Xiyan meant what she said. Although Xia Yuwei had resorted to trickery to break her marriage apart, it was true that Mo Yixuan did not love her then.
She had lived with him for three years but she had never once felt loved by him.
“No, he loves you very much,” Xia Yuwei suddenly said. She paused for a moment before she added, “You might not know this but when we were together, he would often stare blankly into space and would even call your name in his sleep. I could tell that he felt very guilty and conflicted. If I didn’t use my pregnancy to force him to make a decision, he would not have divorced you.”
Xia Yuwei spoke about the memories that had left a deep impression of her. She had become even more ambitious after marrying into the Mo family and this led to her losing her sense of self. Her behavior went from bad to worse and later, she had contracted this terrifying disease because of her promiscuous lifestyle.
She sincerely regretted her past decisions.
If she could have a second chance, she wished that she had never met Mo Yixuan.
He Xiyan pursed her lips and a complicated expression crossed her eyes but she was not extremely upset.
She could even envision her husband cheating on her based on Xia Yuwei’s description of him.
She was no fool and she had already detected the change in his behavior some time ago but she had not called him out on it.
However, as time passed, these were no longer important to her and she would no longer feel as upset or as depressed as she once had been.
“I hope you’ll take care of yourself. Please stay healthy,” He Xiyan said after some time. Her reply was completely unrelated to whatever Xia Yuwei had been saying earlier.
Xia Yuwei asked, “Do you not want to consider getting back with him? He is actually a good man.”
