Chapter 836: Chapter 835: I Really Regret Telling You Now

There are two long, large scars on his back, the marks of which seem to have been caused by something like glass.

"How did you get these two scars?"

"They were caused by cuts from the car accident. A man having some scars is no big deal, unlike for a woman," Damian said.

Bella Acker did not hear what he said afterward; she only heard him say that these two scars were from cuts sustained during the car accident.

After all these years, the scars are still so grotesque, imagining how terrifying and bloody these wounds must have been at the time.

Bella Acker reached out and gently touched those two scars, her fingertips lightly brushing over them inch by inch, not daring to exert any pressure, as if even the slightest force would cause these wounds to bleed again.

Tears unknowingly welled up in her eyes.

Bella Acker softly asked, "Did it hurt like hell back then?"

Damian felt the sensation of her fingers wandering over his back but did not turn around, "At that time, I was already unconscious, so I really don’t know if it hurt or not. By the time I woke up, these wounds had long since healed and didn’t hurt anymore."

Yes, it was such a serious car accident that he must have fainted on the spot. Moreover, he remained unconscious for three years, nearly never waking up again.

And what was she doing back then?

She was agonizing over why he didn’t come to see her, heartbroken that he ultimately gave up on her!

She was there pitying herself while he fell out with his family over her text message, almost losing his life because of it.

"I’m sorry," Bella Acker said, her voice already tinged with crying, "If I hadn’t selfishly sent you that text to force you to make a choice, you wouldn’t have..."

Wouldn’t have had the car accident, wouldn’t have been bedridden for three years...

Mrs. Sinclair must hate her even more now! Because she really almost caused Damian’s death.

"These things are all in the past."

Damian said, wanting to turn around, but Bella Acker grabbed his hand, softly saying, "Don’t turn back."

He had no choice but to keep facing away from her, "Even if you hadn’t sent that text, I would have gone to find you."

"I’m sorry." Aside from these three words, Bella Acker didn’t know what else she could say.

Every time she thought about how he almost died, fear and panic overtook her.

She dared not imagine what would happen to her if they were truly separated by life and death.

Because she could not forget him, even knowing they couldn’t be together in the future, she wanted to know he was living well.

"Damian, I’m sorry, I almost caused your death." Bella Acker cried like a torrential rain, as if all the pain and panic she had hidden in her heart over the years erupted completely upon seeing these scars.

She grasped his arm, her forehead resting against his back, crying uncontrollably.

She hadn’t cried like this for a long time.

Since going abroad and facing various difficulties, she realized tears were the weakest and least effective solution to problems.

Because aside from those who care about her, no one would feel heartache for her.

So step by step, she learned to be strong, learned to grit her teeth and endure even when things were bitter and difficult, never shedding tears easily.

But now, looking at the two scars on his back, all she felt was endless dread.

She almost truly lost him forever.

"Stop crying," Damian turned around and gently embraced her, sighing, "I really regret telling you about the car accident now."
