The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

Meng Jinghuai and I have been good brothers for many years. I know his character and his lifestyle.

These days, he always looks at me with a thoughtful expression, which is obviously very strange.

He must know something I don't, but he can't tell me because of my current condition.

Meng Jinghuai's body visibly stiffened for a moment, and his gaze toward me became even more complicated.

After a long pause, he seemed to finally make up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Nan Chen, have you ever considered that Shen Zhixia might not be your savior?"

Not my savior?

What do you mean?

My brows furrowed instantly, and my dark eyes were filled with surprise as I looked at him.

"What did you say?"

"The day Dr. Chen Cheng first treated you, we went downstairs together. Shen Zhixia told me that the first time she saw you was nine years ago."

Meng Jinghuai kept his eyes on me, watching my reaction, thinking that he could stop me in time if anything went wrong.

Dr. Chen Cheng was present when he gave me my final examination this morning, and he knew perfectly well that I had recovered.

My hands, which were at my sides, tightened unconsciously. After regaining my senses, I gave a bitter smile.

“She wasn’t the one who was rescued, so it’s normal that she doesn’t remember.”

Meng Jinghuai frowned, and after a long silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Nan Chen, are you so sure that the person who saved you back then was Shen Zhixia?"

"Ah."

I will never forget that the person who pulled me out of the abyss twenty years ago was Shen Zhixia. How could I possibly mistake her?

Back then, Shen Zhixia came from a well-off family and was innocent and lively. It's normal that she doesn't remember me, considering how down and out I was at the time.

I concealed the darkness in my eyes and forced a smile. "I chased the light for twenty years, only to find that my life was a joke. I struggled to climb out of this abyss, only to turn around and jump into another."

I paused here, then leaned back against the headboard, looking somewhat dejected.

“Jinghuai, I’ve been in a daze lately. I dream about my parents every night. The dreams are so desperate, like a kind of shackle that I can’t break free from.”

I want to die, but I don't want to just die like this.

I blinked hard, trying to banish the sadness from my mind.

"I will live on, for you and for myself."

How fortunate I am to have met such a good brother in such a terrible life. I can't let him down.

When Meng Jinghuai heard what I said, his expression finally looked less unpleasant.

He recalled the message he had just received, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile, "It's rare to see you so positive, so I'll reluctantly tell you some good news."

"What good news?"

I became interested and asked him with a curious look on my face.

Meng Jinghuai said with a smile, "Su Jinyun has made great progress in her research on cancer cells in the overseas laboratory. If all goes well, she will be able to return to China soon."

"That's definitely good news."

My smile became more genuine, and a strange look flashed in my eyes as I recalled what Su Jinyun had said to me before she left.

Unlike me, Meng Jinghuai was genuinely happy.

Although he didn't know the extent of Su Jinyun's research on cancer cells, he was certain that Su Jinyun's telling him these things was an implication that cancer cells could be completely cured.

After regaining his senses, Meng Jinghuai remembered the task Su Jinyun had given him, and smiled as he took out the blood collection tools from his pocket.

"Nan Chen, Su Jinyun said she needs your blood for in-depth research to prevent the developed drug from developing too much resistance that your body cannot withstand."

"it is good."

I responded softly, immediately sat up, rolled up my sleeves, and offered him my arm.

Meng Jinghuai skillfully disinfected my arm and then drew blood.

He drew three vials of blood. After drawing the blood, he pressed a cotton swab against the needle and quickly pulled it out.

I pressed the cotton swab casually. "When is she coming back?"

Meng Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that I was talking about Su Jinyun.

"If things go smoothly, she can be back in six months. If she doesn't want to come back, she might just send me the special medicine."

"Tell her to take a rest and not to work so hard."

I knew that if I sent this message to Su Jinyun myself, she wouldn't care, so I had to ask Meng Jing to remind her.

After putting away the blood and blood collection tools, Meng Jinghuai turned to look at me with deep eyes.

“Nan Chen, if you divorce Shen Zhixia, I actually think Su Jinyun is not bad either.”

"She deserves a better life."

After saying this calmly, I got up and threw the object I had been pressing on my arm into the trash can.

After we chatted for a while longer, Meng Jinghuai received a call from a nurse at the Second Hospital and rushed back.

When I opened the ward door and walked out, Shen Zhixia was looking at me with the discharge papers that had already been completed.

"The discharge procedures have been completed, and we can go straight home."

On the way back, Shen Zhixia drove. While driving, she casually turned her head to observe my expression. After seeing that I didn't have any other emotional changes, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

After I said I was going home, Shen Zhixia called a cleaning service to come and clean the villa, so when we returned, the villa was spotless.

Not long after I got home, Shen Zhixia picked up a new cell phone that was already on the table and handed it to me.

"Your old phone doesn't work anymore. This is a new phone I bought for you. The SIM card is the same one you had before. Try it out."

I reached out and took the new phone from Shen Zhixia, and immediately turned it on.

My phone received a lot of message notifications as soon as I turned it on.

As soon as I opened my text messages, I saw that I had 99+ messages, most of which were from Li Jingtao, the director of the Happiness Orphanage.

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered that before my accident, I had promised Teacher Li Jingtao that I would go to the orphanage to pick up the gifts I hadn't had time to take last time.

Perhaps it was because I was in a really bad state when I left last time, so Mr. Li Jingtao has been very worried that something might happen to me during this time, and he sends me messages from time to time to check on me.

He must be very worried about me since I haven't replied to his messages for so long.

After I came to my senses, I immediately texted Professor Li Jingtao back.

[Don't worry, teacher, I'm fine. I've just been quite busy lately, so I haven't had time to check my phone. I'm sorry to have worried you.]

Soon after, Teacher Li Jingtao replied to my text message: "Your birthday present has been gathering dust at the orphanage. When will you have time to come back and pick it up?"

After thinking for a moment, I told him that I could go to the orphanage tomorrow to pick up the gift and visit him and the children.

I had just finished replying to the message when Shen Zhixia walked towards me from not far away.

Whose message are you replying to?
