"She calculated the blast radius," Mu Yunchen said, and now his voice had gone completely hollow. "She drove to the water because it would contain the explosion. She timed everything perfectly so that no one else would..."
He couldn't finish that sentence. And he didn't know she did all this for her and no one else!
He laughed instead, a terrible, broken sound.
"She saved everyone. The hospital. The patients. The staff. Me." His hands dropped from his hair, hanging limp at his sides. "Everyone except...."
"We don't know that she...." Li Feng tried, but he couldn't finish the lie.
They both knew.
"I felt it," Mu Yunchen said quietly. "The moment the bomb went off. I felt something, break. Inside. Like a cord being cut. Like..."
He stopped, his throat working, unable to continue.
