Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 2263

Chapter 2263: I’m Sorry
He was dropped from a helicopter for the first time in Jindo City. A doctor carried him down on a stretcher. His entire body was covered in blood; all he wanted to do was see her.
The only thing missing at the time was the entire world telling her that he could not live any longer, that he was about to die.
That was a heartbreaking feeling. She had risked everything to save him at the time.
Fortunately, she had succeeded. She had won the bet.
The sight of him sitting in the tractor, gasping for air, terrified her even more.
There were no traces of blood on his clothes, but there were no hints of blood on his face. A comrade who had died a long time ago lay beside him. She was afraid he would end up like his comrade and sleep forever; her heart would stop beating.
He reached out his arms toward her at that precise moment. When he did not have the strength to hug her, she lost all of her strength.
Jiang Yao had assumed that no matter how busy Lu Xingzhi was in the army base, she would always stand silently behind him to support him, just as he had stood silently to protect her when she was reborn.
However, Jiang Yao finally realized that she could not do it.
“Every accident makes me extremely nervous. I am afraid there will be an accident every time you go on a mission.” Jiang Yao lowered her head and turned away from Lu Xingzhi. “I am afraid that one day, instead of seeing you, I will be waiting for a message about how you had given your life. I am afraid I will become someone who can’t rely on anyone. I am worried about my child losing his father. I am afraid I will be the only one holding the child’s hand in the future. Do you get it, Xingzhi?”
Jiang Yao bit her lip and said, “But I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”
She did not speak up, nor did she give him the option of putting her in a difficult situation. However, that did not mean she could not stand by his side and help him persuade Mrs. Lu without complaint.
Jiang Yao closed her eyes after she finished speaking. Even though she was trying hard not to cry, there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Lu Xingzhi’s heart was filled with indescribable bitterness. It was not because Jiang Yao did not want to help him but because of what Jiang Yao said.
She could not bear putting him in a difficult situation, so she kept all her emotions deep within her heart. He did not seem to notice if she did not say anything.
She had been smiling and laughing happily every day she had been with him , including the last few days. He paid no attention to her feelings.
It was not just because she was good at hiding her emotions; it was also because he did not know her well enough.
Lu Xingzhi felt weak. He had always assumed that he knew Jiang Yao at least 99 percent of the time. He could guess her thoughts if she gave him a look, but the truth told him that was not the case.
He lay there in defeat. After a long while, he sighed and reached out to pull Jiang Yao into his arms.
He could not say that he was sorry. It was too late to express his guilt..
