Shen Zhuolie came in shortly after, walked to Xia Yan's side, and pulled little Gary to his side, "Xia Yan, Yi Beihan is coming soon. Either you come with me, or I will die with him. Don’t forget that his life is still in my hands!”

Xia Yan's hands were empty. She watched Shen Zhuolie snatch little Gary away, shaking her head in pain.

She couldn't, no matter what choice she made, she couldn't let it happen.

The guilt and emotion I felt toward Shen Zhuolie during the day had completely disappeared by now.

"Shen Zhuolie, what you call loving me is giving me this kind of life? Being threatened and forced by you, spending every day on the run, living a life of darkness, is this true?"

Shen Zhuolie hired someone to teach her sign language before, and she learned most of it, but she always refused to communicate with Shen Zhuolie.

In order to please her, Shen Zhuolie also learned sign language. Before, Xia Yan was disgusted by even looking at him, let alone communicating with him.

Shen Zhuolie never thought that the sign language he learned for Xia Yan would be used at this time.

"Mommy! Why can't you speak?" Little Gary exclaimed, looking at Xia Yan with grape-like eyes.

Mommy hasn't spoken to him since they met. She thought Mommy was just afraid.

"Shen Zhuolie, it's all you. Is it because of you that mommy can't speak?" Seeing mommy lose her voice, little Gary's face twitched, and he kicked and scolded her in Shen Zhuolie's arms.

He originally had fantasies about Bernie's dad, and as long as he didn't hurt mommy, he would forgive him.

"Xia Yan," Shen Zhuolie sighed and explained patiently, "Xia Yan, as long as you are willing, I can change everything. If you want freedom and light, I will give it to you, as long as you are by my side."

"You bad guy, let me go!" Little Gary stared at Shen Zhuolie with stern eyes, full of hatred.

"Shut up!" Shen Zhuolie roared coldly and looked at Xia Yan.

What Xia Yan was most afraid of at this time was that little Gary would be hurt. She stared at Shen Zhuolie for a moment, making signs and flashing tears.

"Shen Zhuolie, you are so selfish. I will not love you, and no one will love someone like you. Even if you die, no one will sympathize with you!"

"Shut up!!" Shen Zhuolie roared angrily, his lips trembled, and the hand holding little Gary began to tremble slightly.

Little Gary took the opportunity to escape from Shen Zhuolie's arms, hurriedly ran to Xia Yan, and hugged Xia Yan's legs.

Xia Yan immediately covered little Gary behind him and stared at him.

Shen Zhuolie covered his chest and took two steps forward with heavy steps.

Xia Yan immediately pulled little Gary back a few steps, full of precautions and vigilance.

"Xia Yan, do you really want me to die?"

For so many years, he had lived a bloody life, and he never thought that there would be an emotional day.

But now, in order to get this feeling, he was as humble as a beggar, kneeling on the ground and begging for Xia Yan's charity.

However, she was not even willing to give him alms!

Xia Yan suddenly felt confused and helpless.

He has been protecting her and Jingyu for the past five years. Of course she doesn't want him to die...

So, she shook her head.

Sure enough, Shen Zhuolie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xia Yan closed her eyes and hugged little Gary tightly, "Let's go. If you can let go of all this, I believe you will find happiness."
