Chapter 248 [Empire] A Heart Full of Scars

No matter what I asked, Wen Ya's response remained the same: "I don't want to lose you." His words seemed filled with an unspoken bondage, a feeling that tore at him every time he spoke them. His eyes were dim, concealing a bottomless pain. He seemed to be trying hard to control his emotions, yet he couldn't shake the profound feeling of powerlessness.

I could feel the pain he was feeling, like an invisible thorn creeping through his heart, pricking him so hard that he could barely breathe. His face was pale, and his trembling fingers clenched weakly, yet he didn't dare to actually touch me.

"Wen Ya..." I called him softly, feeling a little nervous.

"I do not want to lose you."

His gaze locked with mine, a faint mist in it, as if he were forcing himself to hold something back. He was in pain, yet unable to explain, as if he couldn't even form a complete sentence with the simplest words.

The moment I hugged him, I realized how cold he was. It wasn't just a physical coldness, but a deep, radiating chill from within. My arms clasped him tightly, but no warmth radiated from him, as if he no longer belonged to this world, or had long been hollowed out by some unspeakable pain.

Wen Ya did not struggle or respond, but just stood there, silent as if frozen.

Gradually, I began to hear his sobs, the low, helpless cries that seemed to come from deep within his heart, groans of pain, uncontrollable sobs.

Every sob was like a needle piercing my heart. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't bear it.

I hugged him tightly and felt his faint trembling.

"Wen Ya..." I couldn't help but call out softly, gently stroking his back with my fingers, wanting to give him some comfort, but feeling powerless.

He suddenly hugged me tightly, as if he had grabbed the last piece of driftwood, and pulled me into his world tightly, refusing to let go. I could feel every inch of his skin trembling, and the coldness seemed to come from his bones.

I didn't know what to say or how to comfort him. It was so sad to see him so torn and almost unable to bear it.

"Wen Ya, I'm here," I whispered to him.

His trembling didn't stop, instead it grew more intense and I could practically feel the strength draining away from him.

I held him tighter, but still couldn't stop the sobs from coming out.

In my arms, Wen Ya wept pitifully. Tears poured out like a flood, soaking my clothes. Every sob seemed to tear a part of his heart apart, and I felt the pain too.

The feeling of helplessness and oppression was like drowning in a dark abyss, swallowing up everything in him. He completely collapsed in my arms. At this moment, he became so fragile.

I had never seen or even imagined such sadness in him. It seemed as if his whole heart was torn in pain, and all that was left were endless tears and cries.

"Wen Ya..." I called his name softly, but I felt that these two words became extremely heavy.

I seemed to have seen his heart that was already full of scars.
