"It wasn't me! It wasn't me!" Tang Fanghua's voice echoed in desperation. "Qi must have mistaken me for someone else. I-I'll confess… I didn't claim to be his savior voluntarily. He mentioned it himself. In that moment of desperation and frustration, I entertained the hope that someone who regarded me as their rescuer might offer aid… Later, I wanted to clarify, but the words stuck in my throat… I… I was confused and inadvertently went along…"
"But even if I didn't administer the antidote, if we hadn't found Qi and brought him back, who knows what fate would've befallen him? Even if our efforts were insignificant, we should have tried!"
"How could you do this to me? How could you?!"
Tang Fanghua's words dissolved into tears. She buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.
She realized that her relationship with Qi was irreparable. The rosy future she had envisioned lay shattered.
Qi wouldn't offer her another chance.
