Chapter 439: Chapter 438: Regret is Too Late

Little White Face and a few others were all hanged from the ceiling beams. On the floor, Lin Ting sat slumped, staring blankly at her cellphone, appearing completely frozen.

Now the truth was fully uncovered; everything Little White Face said was a lie to trick her. And she, deceived by a mistaken love, not only deeply hurt her dearest relatives but also caused their deaths.

Indeed, it was she who had texted Little White Face to come and get her tonight.

She also knew about Little White Face stealing that sum of money. However, she didn’t realize the money was for repaying usurious loans, thinking instead that it was left by Su Yang and the others. So, she took it, intending to give it to Little White Face for his dream investment.

Now, she fully understood that all of this was her own doing.

If she hadn’t insisted on Little White Face coming to pick her up, none of this would have happened. Even if Little White Face had taken her away, and she hadn’t taken the money, the home could have been saved, grandma could have lived, her brother wouldn’t have been burnt like this, and even Da Huang and the others could have had good lives.

All of this was due to her mistaken, one might even say twisted, love.

Lin Ting turned to look at Lin Dong, her eyes no longer capable of shedding tears.

This brother, only a few minutes older than her, had always left the best things for her. Their parents had died early, and he dropped out of school to shoulder the family burdens with his young body, holding up the sky for her.

From elementary to middle school, and then to high school, her life wasn’t bad. Lin Dong gave her all the money he earned, while he himself mostly wore clothes from the recycling collection station.

She remembered one year when the school required new uniforms, and Lin Dong had no money; she threw a tantrum at home. The next morning, a pale-faced Lin Dong delivered the money for the uniforms to the school.

That was money Lin Dong got from selling his blood. Already anemic, he fainted on the way home and spent a day and a night unconscious in the bushes, nearly dying there.

When he finally woke up, Lin Dong practically crawled back home. And after several days, when she returned home for the weekend, he never mentioned the incident. Had it not been for a neighbor’s careless comment, she might never have known about it in her lifetime!

After that incident, Lin Ting had also sworn to study hard and take care of her brother Lin Dong in the future.

But everything changed after she went to high school and fell in love.

She no longer cared about her brother, her eyes and heart filled only with Little White Face, who possessed endless sweet nothings and countless acts of romance and tenderness.

For Little White Face, she went out to borrow money at high interest rates, exchanging her body to give it to him. And none of this money ever made its way to her family.

Even so, Lin Dong never once complained, still doing everything in his power to take care of her.

The only time Lin Dong ever lost his temper with her was this time, when he discovered what she was doing and locked her up at home.

This act made her extremely resentful toward Lin Dong. She then called Little White Face to take her away and even stole the family’s money. As a result, she also pushed her grandma and brother to a dead end!

Lin Ting’s mouth hung open, unable to make any sound, her eyes devoid of tears. Yet, her heart was in utmost agony.

Recalling every little thing Lin Dong had done to take care of her, she finally realized just how foolish and stupid her actions had been.

A moment ago, when Old Zhang scolded her for being stupid, she was angry, unhappy. But now, she finally understood, she was truly foolish!

The one who loved and doted on her the most in this world was also the one she had hurt the deepest!

This brother, his skin charred all over, even if he were still alive, could he ever wake up again? And even if he could, would he forgive her?

Su Yang did not speak; he just quietly watched Lin Ting. Honestly, when Lin Ting was brought back, he really wanted to kill her with a slap.

However, Su Yang didn’t do so, knowing how much Lin Dong doted on Lin Ting; he didn’t want Lin Dong to hate him.

But Su Yang didn’t let Lin Ting off easy either; he made her aware of everything, just to make her experience this pain!

Old Zhang hung up Little White Face and his associates, applying various tortures, beating them until they wailed miserably.

Lin Ting looked at the man she deeply loved, looked at his completely disfigured appearance, and suddenly retched, realizing just how disgusting Little White Face was!

Ye Wantong looked at Lin Dong, who was still in a coma on the bed, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

These past few days she had been moved by Lin Dong’s simplicity, and she was planning, once everything here was settled, to find a way to take Lin Dong to the provincial city, so that this child could have a good life there.

She never expected things would turn out this way. Even her most beloved puppies had perished in the fire, burned to cinders.

Suddenly, a faint breath came from Lin Dong on the bed.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and Su Yang’s brow furrowed slightly. Lin Dong had woken up, but, seeing the scene in front of him, could he continue to live?

Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, but his vision could not focus. He struggled to raise his hand, clumsily groping around, as if trying to grasp something, but in the end, it was all in vain.

"Brother! Brother!" Lin Ting scrambled to the bedside, tremblingly saying, "Brother, how are you?"

"Tingting?" Lin Dong’s voice tinged with surprise, reached out his hand and groped around, but he reached out in the wrong direction and grabbed nothing.

His eyes, it seemed, could no longer see.

"Brother, I’m here, I’m here!" Lin Ting quickly grabbed Lin Dong’s hand and cried, "Brother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry to you..."

"Tingting, Tingting!" Lin Dong gripped Lin Ting’s hand tightly, then suddenly let go, his voice trembling, "You... you run, those bad people are looking for you, you... you run fast, don’t let them catch you..."

Lin Ting cried even harder, and even Ye Wantong beside her couldn’t help but be moved. Lin Dong was in such a state, yet he was still worried about his sister’s safety!

"Brother, I’m sorry to you, I shouldn’t have disobeyed you, I should not have deceived you, I shouldn’t have treated you that way, I’m sorry to you..." Lin Ting sobbed uncontrollably.

"Silly girl, don’t say these words, you haven’t done anything wrong to Brother, you need to run fast, don’t get caught..." Lin Dong kept pushing Lin Ting away.

"It’s all right now!" Finally, Ye Wantong couldn’t hold back, "Those bad people are no longer here."

"Ah, really?" Lin Dong said excitedly, "Is that... Sister Ye, is Brother Su here? You... you protected Tingting, right? Thank you, thank you..."

Ye Wantong’s eyes reddened; this Lin Dong seemed to have lived his whole life just for his sister!
