You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 308

Chapter 308 To Hell We Go

Bai Rong jumped out of bed and rushed all the way to the beach at top speed.

“Hey! Hey!” She started waving the gigantic leave on the beach in an attempt to grab the fishermen’s attention.

However, the fishermen failed to notice her presence and made their way elsewhere after a short while.

Why? How could this happen?

A gloomy expression loomed over her face because of the departing fishing boat. The exhausted droop of her shoulders indicated she was dejected.

After Gu Mingchen returned with a bucket of water, he asked concernedly, “Rong? What are you doing here?”

She pointed in the direction of the departing boat because it had yet to travel across the horizon.

He placed his hands on her shoulders and consoled the dejected woman, “Actually, it’s not a bad thing because at least we’re aware there are boats passing by this area. Perhaps they failed to notice you because there were merely a few of them. They would have to keep an eye on the fish.”

She nodded in return since there wasn’t much she could do about it.

When she turned around, she realized he had filled the mineral bottles and the bamboos with water. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He handed over a bottle of water to her and said, “Give it a try! The water I have acquired tastes really refreshing!”

She took a sip as instructed and was surprised by the refreshing taste of the water.

It was a gift bestowed upon them by mother nature. She couldn’t believe such a wonderful spring existed in the middle of nowhere.

She started feeling better with him by her side.

After she got a grip on herself, she suggested, “I think we need to make something that’s able to grab the attention of the passing boats. We can’t afford to lose the next opportunity to leave the island.”

“To grab others’ attention, we need something loud or something big and special. Let’s connect the leaves that are everywhere using the ropes and hang them on the bamboo that’s at least thirty feet tall. I’m sure they won’t miss such an obtrusive item.”

“Well, shall we get going and collect the leaves? Let’s gather as many as we can!” The anxious woman dragged the man along with her immediately, marching in the direction of the woods.

Gu Mingchen followed her and asked in a gentle tone, “Have you always been such an impatient woman?”

“Isn’t it normal for humans to have different sides? After all, we need to deal with different situations in life. For instance, we may show our sprightly side whenever we’re at work, but when we reach home, we may not want to speak with our family members and behave like a shut-in around them.”

“Rong, no matter what sort of personalities you have, you’ll always be the one and only in my mind,” Gu Mingchen announced, insinuating something else.

Her eyes flickered because she knew the actual meaning behind his words.

She paused abruptly and turned around, looking at him in the eyes as she orated, “Bai Rong has been living in pain over the past three years because she was diagnosed as a psychiatric patient. Over the past three years she spent in the United States, she tried to get rid of her symptoms, yet she failed. I

guess it’s true when others say doctors can never cure themselves. When she made her way back, her condition worsens. She was on the verge of breaking down due to all sorts of incidents, including your relationship and your child with Zhou Hailan, the time you almost passed on because of her, and the fact she would never get you. She had been devoting herself to the research of hypnosis and tried to hypnotize herself out of love for countless times.”

Seconds after pausing, he added, “Her only goal was to move on from you and the past, yet she had never once succeeded because she could never reach her subconscious self. On the day you were released, Su Xuyan brought her to meet you in person, yet your family members and friends, as well as your ex-girlfriends, started picking on her. They said things would never work out between both of you. She had to brace herself through such tormenting sessions because she couldn’t tell them the truth. When she needed someone the most, I showed up to her rescue. That was the reason she had delivered the notebooks to you and asked you to get rid of her bag.”

After hesitating for a short while, she decided to stop keeping him in the dark. “I wandered around for a long time, yet I noticed there was nowhere else we could go. Since you had moved on from her at Jadeborough and made her go through a series of misfortunes there, I decided to visit that location. After wandering around aimlessly for a few days, I couldn’t take it anymore. When I was about to pass out, I heard a thunderous honk and had the shock of my life. That was the time Bai Rong made her way back. She felt lost and confused because she couldn’t recall the things I had done, yet I was aware of the foolish decision she made.”

Staring at him in the eyes, she continued, “She thought something was wrong with her, but it was nothing more than a dissociative identity disorder. Perhaps you may consider her a psychopath, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong and consider both of us different individuals cohabiting in the same body. I was there because I wanted to keep her safe from harm. As soon as she reached her friend’s house, you showed up. She was touched and thrilled by your presence, yet her heart was shattered into pieces because she knew things would never work out between both of you.”

After much consideration, she decided to tell him everything she had been keeping to herself.

“She decided to hurt you and provoke you to drive you away from her. In the end, she achieved her goal because you shut her out of your life. After your departure, she started smashing everything she could get her hands on to vent her anger, yet it didn’t seem to work at all. The foolish woman ended up suffering and tried to hypnotize herself again. I will never forget her bloodshot eyes and her pitiable look. Over and over again, she begged, wailed, wept, and complained. However, there wasn’t anything the helpless woman could change. I thought she wanted to move on from you and the past for real, yet that was never her goal—she merely wanted me to carry on the tasks she had yet to accomplish.”

After she finished her orated speech, she lowered her gaze.

“What tasks are you referring to?” Gu Mingchen asked.

She raised her head and peered into his eyes and started recalling her goals, including curing Bai Bing, taking Su Xuyan out so he couldn’t hurt Gu Mingchen anymore.

Most importantly, she would have to leave A City when it was about time for her to leave the world. She would spend the last moments of her life in a place where no one could reach her. All she wanted was to pass on peacefully without anyone knowing, especially Gu Mingchen.

Her vision blurred as tears welled up.

Bai Rong seemed to have forgotten about the affection she had for him when she hypnotized herself.

She should have turned her into an indifferent agent without any emotions to achieve her goals.

“Are you going to help Bai Rong achieve her goals?” Bai Rong asked.

“I will!” Gu Mingchen answered without a second thought the second he heard the question.

She was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of emotions and felt a prickling sensation behind her eyes.

Sniffling, she said, “She wants to get rid of her mother’s condition and return the favor to those she’s indebted to. If it’s possible, she wants to travel the world—” Before bringing up the last goal Bai Rong had in mind, she gazed at Gu Mingchen. “She wants you to take good care of yourself when she’s not around.”

“What do you mean?” He was confused by her reply and responded with his brows furrowed in confusion.

“Su Xuyan is a cunning man. If you’re not cautious, he’s going to get the better of you again. I need to stay by his side as your mole to protect you. Can you allow me to do that?” Bai Rong queried.

He grasped her hand and denoted, “No! I can’t live without you! I will exercise caution and won’t allow him to get the better of me again!”

“I won’t return to him anymore, but no matter what happens, can you promise me to take good care of yourself and refrain from trying anything silly?” she queried.

Smirking, he gently caressed her chin with his thumb and asserted, “We’ll spend the rest of our life together carrying out all sorts of activities. I won’t allow death to do us part because I’ll be joining you in the afterlife the moment you leave the world behind.”

She started sobbing. The last thing she wanted was to have him in the afterlife with her because she was merely a few weeks away from a trip to hell.
