Chapters 951 and 952: I Won't Let You Die
Ye Rui sensed the sarcasm in Ye Fei's tone and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He struggled to sit up, leaned against the soft pillow, sighed softly, and closed his cloudy eyes: "To hear your voice again before I die is one of my most cherished wishes..."
Ye Fei remained expressionless. Her gaze lingered on the old man's thin and frail body for a few seconds before she picked up several small porcelain bottles from the desk, uncorked each one, and sniffed them.
After a moment, she put the stopper back in and said coldly, "Have you been taking these medications all this time?"
When Ye Rui heard her question, he was startled. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at Ye Fei.
A few seconds later, Ye Rui nodded and asked again, "Little Fei'er, are you worried about Grandpa?"
"What right do you have to call yourself my grandfather?" Ye Fei's eyes flashed with a cold, piercing light. "Don't tarnish those two words."
Ye Rui was speechless for a moment.
"Did Ye Jingyao send you all these medicines?" Ye Fei asked again.
"yes."
"Then it seems he really wants you dead." Ye Fei sat casually in the chair, her long legs crossed, tapping the table with one hand, a cold smile on her lips: "You may not know, but these medicine bottles contain more or less some poison."
"However, the dosage of these poisons is not large. They won't kill you in the short term, but if you take them for a long time, they will take effect instantly one day, giving you no chance to react—that would be... even a god couldn't save you."
A variety of emotions welled up in Ye Rui's eyes: anger, resentment, despair, and blame...
There was also a hint of relief in the face of death.
He closed his eyes helplessly and sighed, "I still remember the curses the Flower Fairy of Ten Thousand Spirits uttered on me five years ago... Now it seems that I have indeed ended up abandoned by everyone and can only hide in my room and eke out a living."
The next second, he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Fei: "Little Fei'er, I know I'm not far from death. Before I pass away... can you forgive me?"
Ye Fei sneered: "Forgive you? What is there to forgive between us? Besides, whether or not to forgive you should be my mother's decision."
Ye Rui said, "Will I have another chance... to see your mother again?"
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned; the moment it was brought up, Ye Fei's anger flared even more.
She clenched her fists, glared fiercely at Ye Rui, and gritted her teeth as she spat out three words: "You're dreaming!"
Ye Rui's face was full of sorrow.
Before the truth came out, the little Fei'er he knew... never showed him such an expression.
In the end, it was he who personally pushed his granddaughter into an abyss of no return... It's only natural that she resents him.
"Let me guess, is it because you've always refused to completely relinquish the position of family head that Ye Jingyao has decided to kill you?" Ye Fei crossed her arms, her smile mocking.
Ye Rui didn't speak. Perhaps he himself felt that saying anything more would be of no use—after all, he would die eventually anyway.
"Is it painful to be poisoned by your own son?" Ye Fei tilted her head to look at him, her eyes sharp. "Didn't you ever imagine that you would die at the hands of your own son?"
Ye Rui smiled weakly: "I'm old, I can't defend myself anymore... Little Fei'er, go now. My death today will be my atonement for you."
Ye Fei raised her hand and flicked her finger in Ye Rui's direction.
With a soft thud, a pill engraved with a lotus pattern landed steadily in Ye Rui's hand. Ye Fei coldly said, "You want to die, but I won't let you die."
Ye Rui was stunned for a moment, looking into her eyes in disbelief: "Why?"
"Death is too easy." Ye Fei's voice was as cold as ice, piercing Ye Rui's heart with pain: "Making you live in agony is the greatest punishment for you."
