Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Chapter 154 I Want to Atone for My Sins

Did she want to watch herself die from excessive grief?

After all, Huo Youshan still has kindness hidden deep in his heart.

Even if she did something wrong, she was still tormented by her conscience every day.

Faced with Huo Wanqing's moral persuasion, she still chose to open the door, follow her sister's ideas, and follow her to Mingdu and enter the research institute.

But she never thought that Huo Wanqing said she would stay with her until she recovered.

She would never let anyone have the chance to hurt her, and as long as she was there, Garland would not lay a hand on her.

Who would have thought that after experiencing an incident, Huo Wanqing would return to the Northern Continent.

She comforted herself again and again that Garland sent her back because he was worried about her safety.

But every word he said was for his own good. His elder sister had been gone for more than a month, but he hadn't even called to inquire about her.

From the moment Evelyn arrived, she had always thought that she had no freedom here and was being kept as a test subject.

Maybe one day it will be sent to the experimental table.

By then, Evelin will definitely take revenge on her tens of thousands of times for everything she has suffered.

So she secretly went into the control room, called Huo Wanqing, and told her everything.

It was Huo Wanqing who asked her to resist by going on a hunger strike.

It was also Huo Wanqing who told her that they would definitely put experimental drugs in the food.

Until she saw Evelyn again.

Only half a month had passed since the last time I saw her, and she had become visibly thinner and haggard.

Despite this, her pupils were still clear and bright, emitting positive colors.

Her whole body was different from hers. Even though she had been through the gates of hell and was infected with the LE virus again, she still exuded a vitality that she could not understand.

There is no deadness or despair in myself at all.

The course of the conversation was even more different from what she had imagined. Evelin had never put on airs with her.

Huo Youshan could sense that Evelin was still upset about how he had tricked her into entering the institute.

However, she did not hate herself.

Even though I didn't feel any pleasure in seeing her so miserable, I wouldn't use these to humiliate her.

Just this point caused her to be severely shaken by Huo Wanqing’s description of Evelin.

She was like an old friend, drinking coffee with her and chatting about the most ordinary topics in life.

She said that they all saw her sneaking into the control room.

"You have absolute freedom here, but don't go outside."

"Even if we take back the main city, there are still many dangers."

"No one will drug you in your food. Just eat when you are hungry. Your body is your own."

"These are the only painkillers available right now. Just take them when an attack occurs."

"If you use it for a long time, you will become dependent on it. Use it at your own discretion."

Huo Youshan, curled up at the head of the bed, stared at Evelin in the sunlight, and gradually became absent-minded.

She is so much like a passionate red rose. Even if she is covered in mud, she will still crawl upwards under the remaining light.

It seems to have a life force that can never be exhausted.

Looking back at myself, I am dark and twisted, venting all the bad things on others.

Blame her, blame my family, blame the whole world.

What a joke.

"No need to contact your family secretly, just tell anyone here if you have any needs or questions."

“They will all help you.”

Evelyn put down the satellite phone and stood up to leave.

"Huo Youshan, will our past experiences become eternal shackles or armor for the future?"

"It all depends on you."

She remembered what she told herself after Evelyn had said, “I accept.”

At that time, she was standing against the sunlight, with pale cheeks, but still bright and charming.

Until this moment, the huge rock of Huo Youshan's inner entanglement, shame, and condemnation of conscience seemed to be completely shattered by Evelyn.

She cried and laughed with relief, crying out everything that had accumulated over the past few years, even until she couldn't cry anymore.

After crying, all her hatred for Evelin evaporated with her tears and disappeared.

It also made him more resolute in his heart that Evelin was not what Huo Wanqing said.

Selfish, cold, unkind, and unscrupulous.

On the contrary, beneath her cold appearance she has a warm heart.

She will infect everyone around her in her own way.

It was the warmth and comfort that Huo Youshan had never experienced in recent years.

"I know the process will be painful, and I'm not sure if I can stick to it to the end."

"But I want to atone for my sins."

"I also want to share this pain with you."

Huo Youshan spoke again, nervously looking at Evelin as she explained her actions.

Evelin stared at her for a long time, then burst out laughing.

In Evelin's eyes, Huo Youshan in front of her seemed to have returned to the little girl who confessed to her with a blushing face on that hot summer night with cicadas chirping.

"What's wrong…"

Seeing Evelin’s reaction, Huo Youshan was stunned and the blush on his face became more obvious.

“You don’t need to do this.”

"I accept this gift on behalf of all the patients who are suffering from the virus."

"Believe us, we can develop antibodies within a limited time."

Evelin propped her chin with one hand, and compared to Huo Youshan’s strong sincerity, she seemed a little nonchalant.

"I am serious."

Huo Youshan naturally noticed it, and stepped forward anxiously to hold Evelin’s hand.

Evelin was held by her cold little hand and froze for a moment.

She pulled her hand away unnaturally. She was always a little resistant to physical contact with strangers.

"I know."

"So I sincerely accept your atonement and thank you on behalf of the patients."

"Let's stop talking about this matter here. Don't mention it again."

Evelin turned her head away. She was indeed rather stubborn and didn’t want to bow her head until the last moment.

She doesn't want others to experience this pain because she has experienced it.

"Your Highness, Lan Palace is waiting for you."

There was a knock on the door and Yuri's voice entered their ears.

"coming."

Evelin raised the corners of her lips and walked out of the room smiling like a young girl in love.

"What have you been talking about for so long?"

Garland kissed Evelyn's cheek and held her hand as she pushed him into the wheelchair.

"You are a grown man, and you still want to ask a girl about her secrets."

Evelin seemed to be in a very good mood, and teased Garland with a naughty smile.

"You two have something else to talk about?"

Garland laughed back, wondering when the relationship between the two became so good.

"It's a secret!"

Evelyn pouted and passed over the topic. She didn't want Garland to know what had happened to her in the past few years.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask."

"Are you hungry? Want to eat?"
