His heart suddenly went silent, the manic tension just vanished, and in an instant, it grew cold.
Actually, he didn't have to disclose his past, so she only saw the side of him tormented by his godfather, as if everything was done out of necessity. She only saw how he loved her deeply, regardless of the consequences, without seeing the evil he committed—the inherent wickedness. Then, out of sympathy and pity, she would love him even more.
He could have done that, yet he couldn't help revealing his dark past in its entirety.
As it turned out, not everyone could accept those mistakes and bloodshed, which also went beyond her moral values. How much she hated him when she initially thought he had killed Old Ling.
Now she had discovered that he had done many things far more cruel than killing Old Ling, she must think of him as a loathsome manic murderer.
He mocked himself, it was his own doing, after all. He compulsively burst everything open, leaving her unable to face it.
