The Long-awaited Mr Han - Chapter 2456
Chapter 2456: Karma
But at this moment, after she gradually calmed down, Lu Man could also understand what had happened.
“I remember now. When I was unconscious, my soul left my body. I saw you watching over me at my bedside. No matter how I called you, you couldn’t hear me. I tried going back into my own body, but I wasn’t able to,” Lu Man said. “Afterward, I was pulled away by an invisible force. When I opened my eyes again, I… I returned to the moment right before I died, before I was revived.
“I saw how I looked like when I got burned to death in the fire. I saw myself biting Lu Qi’s ear, wanting to drag her in to perish with me. He Zhengbai wanted to save Lu Qi. I couldn’t touch people. My body would just pass through human bodies, so I wasn’t able to touch them. But I could touch non-living things like tables and chairs.
“So I pushed the cupboard onto He Zhengbai, letting the cupboard push him into the flames.”
As Lu Man said that, Han Zhuoli hugged her even more tightly.
She had already suffered it once, but this time, she’d had to personally witness her own tragic death once again.
Han Zhuoli’s heart ached badly for her.
“You’re fine now. Based on what Xie Jiling said, you won’t ever go back anymore,” Han Zhuoli said.
Lu Man nodded. “I am just thinking. Back then, when I was in the flames, I did pull Lu Qi in. He Zhengbai indeed wanted to save Lu Qi, and he had also indeed been pushed into the flames by the cupboard. At that time, could it be… because my soul was there?”
Hearing it, it sounded a little incredulous and a little brain-wracking.
But Lu Man really felt that this was one possibility.
“The reason why I was able to drag them down to die with me was because I went back to help myself,” Lu Man said.
Han Zhuoli seriously thought about what Lu Man had said. He felt that it was so miraculous and yet… there was really such a possibility.
He stared at Lu Man, feeling incredulous. “Xie Jiling said this was a mishap of yours. But, perhaps, it might not actually have been one.
“But this, to me, was a mishap. The nine days that you were unconscious had been the most terrifying memory for me in this lifetime. I have never been so scared before,” Han Zhuoli said.
Lu Man hugged Han Zhuoli tightly. She found his lips and kissed him.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to come back earlier,” Lu Man said in a soft and gentle voice.
Han Zhuoli shook his head. “It’s fine as long as you could come back.”
“The incident this time, to me, rather than calling it a mishap, I might as well call it a chance that the Heavens gave me,” Lu Man said.
“If not, I would have died just like that back then, and I wouldn’t have been able to avenge myself before I died. At that time, I didn’t even think that it was actually me who’d given myself a helping hand.” Thinking about it, it felt a little incredulous and very miraculous.
Because of this miraculous feeling, the feeling she had after personally witnessing her own death also faded significantly.
Han Zhuoli nodded. He recalled something and said, “What happened after you returned to your past life and helped yourself? Where did you go after that? You stayed there for another six days, then?”
“Six days?” Lu Man said incredulously. “Oh, right, over here, I was in a coma for nine days. This means I left on the third day that I was unconscious.”
Han Zhuoli nodded and heard Lu Man say, “But I didn’t stay there for six days. Rather, I stayed there for close to 60 years.
“After I watched myself perish in the huge fire, in that world, I didn’t know where I could go. In my past life, my mom had passed away early on. The only person I could think of was you,” Lu Man said.
Han Zhuoli’s eyes lit up. “You went to find me?”
