Lazily Yours.

"She was a loving wife," Long Yi sat in his wheelchair, tears streamed down his face. "She loved me since we attended Long Founding School of Elites. I knew it. And I took advantage of her emotions. I made her — I — " He used a tissue to wipe his cheeks. "I turned her into someone her parents didn't recognize anymore. I made her depressed and… I am to blame for her death."

Long Yi gulped before he continued, "I am responsible for what happened to my wife. I drove her into depression because I didn't love her enough. Moving forward, I promise to become the best father to my — to our child. I promise to give our child the affection that I wasn't able to provide for my wife. Depression is not something that we can take for granted. Our Long Company already talked to some charity that focused on mental health and we are going to work with them to save as many people as we can from this… disease."

Flashes from the camera followed his declaration. He lowered his head and stared at his numbed legs that were resting quietly in his wheelchair.

"Alright, you can ask questions now." His lawyer who stood next to him said.

"Mr. Long, there were rumors that you never treated Miss Huang well. Is that true?"

Long Yi's lips thinned into a straight line as he nodded. "That is true."

Gasps echoed inside the room. Who would have thought that Mr. Long from the prestigious Long Family would accept his wrongdoings? Almost immediately, the reporters started doubting the rumor that it was Long Yi who killed his wife. They decided to ask more.

"Mr. Long, there were rumors that Miss Huang is seeing another man behind your back even when she was pregnant."

Long Yi's lips morphed into a sad smile. He and his lawyer wanted to paint Huang Xiaoxuan as unstable and depressed. This was a part of the plan. "Sadly, I am aware of that."

"And did you discuss this matter? Did you try to divorce her? Was that the reason why she killed herself?"

"No." Long Yi shook his head. "I figured that talking about this matter while she was pregnant would harm my child. I thought we could always talk about this right after she gave birth. But then… my father also had — I meant… My family encountered some problems lately, and I wasn't able to discuss this matter with her."

"Mr. Long, the hospital said that you never once visited your baby, is this true?"

Again Long Yi nodded. "Xiaoxuan… she stopped me from visiting my child. She said… She said I had no right since I never loved her. She wanted to use the child as leverage against me."

"So you were already arguing about your child?"

"There wasn't really an argument. It was just a discussion that would end up in her leaving. She was heavily pregnant at that time, and I was busy with the current predicament in my company. I asked my people to follow her just to keep her safe. Of course, I understood I am to blame because of what happened. I was too careless and didn't try to understand why she was upset." His words coupled with the sad look in his eyes could easily convince anyone that he was telling the truth.

"Mr. Long, Miss Huang's father, claimed that you abused his daughter. Is that true?"

"No. An abuse never happened. I never laid my hands on her, I never hurt her physically, I never said something insulting towards her. Despite the fact that my emotions were lacking, I treated her well. I gave her everything that she wanted. Money, a car, a house, and even made her work next to me. I don't understand where these rumors came from. I am sure that Mr. Huang knew how I treated his daughter."

The reporters nodded and started discussing the results of the investigations that the police publicized just a few hours ago. "Mr. Long… the police said they found rocks on Miss Huang's legs. What can you say about that?"

"My client won't comment anything about the result of the investigations." Long Yi's lawyer was quick to intervene. "This press conference was purely about the relationship of the couple."

"Mr. Long… your lawyer said that he told you not to say anything to the media." Someone from the back suddenly said. "Why are you doing this press conference? Are you trying to make people pity you?" The woman asked with a straight face.

Long Yi stared at the woman wearing a uniform he recognized as one of the top TV stations in the City. He then shook his head. "No. I don't want anyone to pity me. I don't deserve something like that. However… I am doing this for my child. I don't want my kid to grow up and think that I hurt Xiaoxuan. I wanted to give my child closure. Everyone deserves it."

"Mr. Long some nurses and doctors said that Miss Huang seemed distressed and was always crying while she was in the baby hospital. She would sometimes scream to the nurses and would cry out of nowhere. What can you say about this?"

Long Yi sighed. "That is completely my fault. I already know that my wife is weak both in mind and in the body. When she told me not to go to the hospital, I never asked her why. I just thought she was angry that I wasn't able to be there for her when she gave birth. I thought — Just like any other time, this misunderstanding would disappear on its own."

"So, you were saying that misunderstandings like this already happened before?"

Long Yi looked straight at the camera. "Yes. Our marriage wasn't perfect. In fact, it was full of this kind of misunderstandings. I never considered the fact that she just gave birth and that she was suffering from any other mental issues. I was confident that she would come around. Sadly… this didn't happen." Long Yi's lips shook as he tried to stand up from his wheelchair.

"Mr. Long… please don't stand." His lawyer assisted him. "The doctors said— "

"Help me up," Long Yi clenched his jaw, determination apparent in his face. "I wanted to give everyone a bow. My wife deserved this. I wanted to take responsibility for what happened to her. I didn't pull the trigger, but I… I give her the guns and the bullets! I was the one who caused her depression, and I was the one who caused her suicide!"

A commotion ensued when Long Yi suddenly fell from his wheelchair. Instead of accepting the help of his lawyer so he could get up, he looked straight into the camera. "Mr. Huang… I know I promised to take care of your daughter. I failed. I am a bad husband, a terrible father, and a bad person. I know I don't deserve forgiveness! I deserve to follow her to the other world, I deserve the most painful death. I apologize for causing Xiaoxuan's death. I hope you will find it in your heart to give me another chance to prove that I am willing to do everything. I will take care of our child and give everything that I can to compensate for Xiaoxuan."
