Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Wave of Regrets.

After a while, the door to the room swung open, revealing two figures making their entrance.

They were none other than Xin Yan and the doctor who had been dragged here against his own will.

He was grumbling under his breath but a sharp glare from Xin Yan shut his mouth off. He had no choice but to give in to her demands.

After a brief examination, the doctor's attention shifted to Xin Yan, who continued to look at him with a chilling look in her hawk-like eyes that could unsettle even the bravest of souls.

Feeling a shiver run down his spine the doctor stammered,

"W-well, he is indeed fine, but there is some internal damage to his organs caused by a sudden surge of qi. It seems he used the second option to awaken. His condition is not critical, almost as if he was shielded or protected from the worst of it."

His voice was filled with a little annoyance as he thought. 'It would have been better if he got crippled in the process.'

Feeling a shiver down his spine he looked at the lioness in front of him looking at him like a prey she would swallow anytime. Gulping, he continued his assessment.

"The blood from the internal injuries has not caused any blockage in his meridians. These are some medicinal herbs that could aid in his recovery. He primarily needs rest."

Handing over the list of medicinal items, the doctor hastily departed, eager to escape the formidable aura of Xin Yan. He was a mortal so he could not hold against the innate oppression of a cultivator.

Xin Yan approached the bedside and sat beside him, her fingers gently combing through his hair as tears welled up in her eyes and trickled down onto his forehead.

In a voice choked with emotion, she started to talk about how he was the sole purpose that breathed life into her existence, the only reason that provided her with the strength to carry on.

"You know Tian, if something had happened to you today, I would have lost my only reason to live."

The mere thought of not having in her life crushed her soul. Unbeknownst to her, Long Tian, though unconscious, could still hear her words.

" I will get your medicines, wait for me."

Leaving Long Tian's side for a moment, Xin Yan rose from the chair and walked to the door of the room, gently closing it behind her as she stepped outside.

As the weight of imminent death settled upon him, Long Tian's consciousness sharpened.

The realization that he might never be able to see Ruo'er and his mother again hit him very hard as a wave of regret washed over him.

He regretted being a coward and not accepting the genuine feelings of the woman he came to love.

He regretted not telling his mother how much he was grateful for her being his mother and how much he cared for her.

He regretted wasting the second chance he got.

He regretted not reciprocating the love he showered by his mother.

HE REGRETTED EVERYTHING!!!

With each passing second, his heartache intensified, realizing that his silence had deprived him of the chance to create cherished memories and express his emotions.

Tears welled up in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks as he faced the bitter truth that his time was slipping away.

The faces of his mother and the girl he loved appeared vividly before him, their smiles and warmth etched into his memory.

He longed to hold them one last time, to convey the depth of his feelings before his life slipped into the darkness .

Yet, the reality of his weakening body and impending demise left him with a heart-wrenching feeling of helplessness, a regretful awareness of all he could never achieve or experience.

As the grip of death closed in around him, Long Tian felt his senses dulling down at an incredible pace. The edges of his vision blurred, and the sounds around him seemed distant, as if he were underwater.

He could feel his heartbeat slowing, each thud resonating with a heavy, weighted finality. The very air he breathed seemed to thin out, leaving him gasping for the life-giving oxygen that was slipping away.

His body, once filled with vitality, now felt heavy and numb. It was as if an invisible force was pulling him downwards, his limbs becoming unresponsive and cold.

He felt a chill creep into his bones, a sensation that carried with it a haunting foreboding. Every pulse of pain from the poison coursing through his veins served as a cruel reminder that his time was running out.

In those final moments, as his heartbeat grew fainter and his senses dimmed, Long Tian struggled with the cruel intimacy of death's embrace. With every ounce of his will, he fought for his life.

And in the end he failed to survive despite everything he did.
