My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 244 Another Self-Harm

Because of what happened before, Song Yafei was still scared and thought that this would stop me from doing something foolish.

But once this happens, it gets out of control and happens a second time.

About a week later, the same thing happened again.

This time, however, it wasn't taking medicine; I was lying in the bathtub and slashed my wrists.

What is the reason for this?

I don't remember at all!

I only remember that my mind was blank and chaotic at the time, and a persistent thought told me that this was liberation.

Then I picked up the knife and, without hesitation, made a cut until bright red blood flowed into the bathtub.

The glaring crimson that filled my eyes brought me a sense of relief and liberation.

But in the end, I still couldn't get what I wanted. Song Yafei suddenly came back at noon, and when she didn't see me, she went upstairs.

Then they found me lying in a pool of blood and immediately took me to the hospital.

It was probably because of these repeated accidents that Song Yafei finally realized that my psychological problems were far more serious than she had thought.

This incident finally made her realize that I didn't just want to leave her.

Perhaps a long time ago, we could never go back to the way things were.

This incident also made her start to re-evaluate our relationship.

I didn't wake up until the second day after I was taken to the hospital, and when I opened my eyes, it was the familiar hospital again.

Song Yafei stayed by my side, her expression unusually serious, her eyes swirling with emotions I couldn't decipher.

After I regained my senses, I remained as calm as usual, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

I don't know when it started, but as time went by, I seemed to lose much of my emotions and interest in many things around me.

This time, Song Yafei stood by my bedside, looking very unwilling, yet she had no choice but to make a decision.

"Stop doing this! Living is more important than anything else."

Of course I know, it's just that sometimes I can't control myself.

"Don't worry, I will let you leave. Just wait until you've recovered. If you want to leave, I won't stop you anymore!"

"What did you say?" I was genuinely surprised.

It was truly unexpected that she would agree!

I was both surprised and afraid that I had misheard.

I sat up excitedly, and accidentally hurt my wrist, causing the gauze to bleed from the wound.

Seeing this, Song Yafei quickly pressed down on the gauze, "Lie down quickly, I'll go call the doctor right away."

As she was about to leave, I grabbed her hand and asked her again, "Is what you're saying true?"

My actions instantly made Song Yafei very frustrated.

My actions clearly demonstrate how much I want to leave her.

How could Song Yafei accept this?

"I won't lie to you! Don't worry, once you've recovered, I'll let you leave."

"Can I call the doctor now?"

Only then did I finally feel the pain in my wrist.

Song Yafei pressed the call button by the bed, and the nurse quickly came to re-bandage my wound.

At the time, I was immersed in the joy of being free, only to later learn that Song Yafei meant it would take so long for me to recover.

It's not just about wound healing as I understand it.

I've been waiting ever since I was discharged from the hospital and returned to the villa.

But after a month, the wound on her wrist had healed, and there was still no sign of Song Yafei.

She's even been coming back less often lately.

This makes me wonder if she has changed her mind again.

In this state of unease, after only a few days, I did something to hurt myself again.

My suspicions about Song Yafei reached their peak, and I felt that I had no more hope for freedom. One late night, I went alone to the rooftop terrace of the villa.

As if guided by someone, I uncontrollably went upstairs.

I truly came to my senses when Song Yafei grabbed me and we fell back onto the balcony.

I saw Song Yafei's anxious expression; her face was already covered in tears.

In a moment of desperation, she even slapped me across the face.

She held my hand tightly, so tightly that it even hurt me.

Why did you do this? Didn't I already promise to let you leave?

I remained indifferent to her anxiety, even coldly looking at her like a stranger.

"You think I don't know what you're up to? You just want to drag this out indefinitely until I forget about it, right?"

Song Yafei didn't answer, staring intently at me as if she were terrified.

If you don't love someone anymore, why would you have this kind of expression?

Song Yafei just stared at me without moving.

The weather was fine, but suddenly it started raining, and it rained harder and harder. In no time, Song Yafei and I were soaked.

"You really want to leave me that badly?"

Her eyes revealed loneliness and sadness, but I couldn't care less at that moment.

"Yes, I can't stand being by your side for even a second longer!"

Rain streamed down our faces, making it impossible to tell if there were tears, but her voice was choked with sobs.

"Alright, since you're so determined, I'll have Assistant Luo arrange it for you tomorrow."

"But you must promise me that you won't do anything foolish for the next three days. Otherwise, I will not let you leave no matter what."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Without hesitation, I raised my hand. Song Yafei was taken aback for a moment, but she understood what I meant and hesitantly raised her hand slowly.

Without hesitation, I gave her a high five.

We've said before that the high-five was our final promise; after that, everything was set in stone and wouldn't change.

Seeing Song Yafei's hesitation, I knew she still remembered.

"Alright, now that we've agreed, let's hurry down. Your body can't take this."

I didn't want my body to be in such a bad state, so I didn't refuse Song Yafei's help, and we went downstairs together.

At that moment, I didn't realize what she meant by telling me to leave.

But even if I had thought about what I would encounter, I probably wouldn't have refused at the time.

After all, as long as I'm not around her, I feel free to do whatever I want.

I just didn't know that I would later go through such a miserable period.

Three days later, Song Yafei kept her promise and waited for me at the restaurant in the morning.

I changed my clothes and came downstairs, thinking I would soon be free again. I never expected that what Song Yafei meant by sending me away was completely different from what I understood.

We sat facing each other at the dining table, and Song Yafei gave me two options.

Today, she is the businesswoman President Song in front of me, and she calmly negotiates with me.

"Now is a critical time for the project, and your health has not fully recovered, so I cannot let you leave completely for the time being."

Go back on what you say?

Before I could retort, Song Yafei stopped me and said first, "Listen to me, if you want to leave, you can go to the suburbs to recuperate first. You can leave anytime once things have calmed down."

"Of course, if you'd like to stay at the villa to recover, once you're better..."

"I'd like to go to the suburbs."
