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

"News from the director of the Happiness Orphanage."

After giving that reply indifferently, I put my phone away.

A strange look flashed across Shen Zhixia's eyes, and then she asked casually, "When are you planning to go to the orphanage?"

"tomorrow."

After coldly uttering two words, I picked up the things I had just placed on the sofa and headed upstairs to the guest room to pack my things and take a shower.

Shen Zhixia asked gently, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the orphanage?"

“Last time I celebrated my birthday at the orphanage, I forgot to take the gift the children had prepared for me, so I went back to get it.”

I paused slightly, and after patiently finishing speaking, I unconsciously quickened my pace.

The next second, Shen Zhixia's cold voice rang out again, interrupting my thoughts.

“Ji Nanchen, your body needs rest right now, it’s not suitable for you to travel around. I’ll have Li Xiangnan pick up your gift.”

"Need not."

I stood on the stairs with a stern face, turned to look at Shen Zhixia, and said, "I want to go to the orphanage to get it myself."

Shen Zhixia wants to use my physical discomfort to restrict my freedom?

She shouldn't even think about it!

She previously used my illness as an excuse to have someone follow me without my permission, and now she even wants to restrict my movement.

When Shen Zhixia heard my decisive words, she was clearly taken aback for a moment, and her tone softened a bit.

"I was just worried that your body couldn't handle it, I didn't mean anything else."

"You don't need to worry about it."

I said those words coldly and then turned and left.

I know Shen Zhixia won't let me off so easily.

Not long after I returned to my room, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

It's Shen Zhixia.

Now, in the villa, it's just me and her.

I took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'm very tired and need to rest."

Shen Zhixia, who was standing outside the door, frowned almost imperceptibly. She was about to reach out and open the door when she suddenly remembered something and decided not to open it.

"Ji Nanchen, I'm very busy with work. Should I have Wang Ma come back to continue taking care of you?"

"No need, I'll cook for myself if I'm hungry."

I coldly rejected Shen Zhixia's suggestion without any intention of opening the door.

Shen Zhixia could tell that I was in a bad mood. She paused, then used Dr. Chen Cheng as an excuse to continue to persuade me: "Dr. Chen told me that although your condition has recovered, you still need to find someone to talk to every day."

"I'm busy with work and don't have time to spend with you. If you don't like Wang Ma, I'll bring Meng Jinghuai over?"

Meng Jinghuai?

I sat at the table, my pupils suddenly contracted, and my hands clenched tightly at my sides.

Meng Jinghuai is a doctor. He has to go to work during the day. How could he have time to come to the villa and talk to me?

What is Shen Zhixia up to now?!

Shen Zhixia, who was standing outside the door, waited for a while but still didn't get a reply from me. She pursed her lips and suddenly realized that I might have misunderstood her words. She quickly said, "Ji Nanchen, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to find someone to keep you company."

"If you're worried about interfering with Meng Jinghuai's work, I can give you a stack of bodyguard information. You can choose a suitable person to come over."

This time, Shen Zhixia's question to me was truly without any malice.

She just felt that she hadn't been back to the company to handle things for a long time, and that she would be very busy for a long period of time and wouldn't have time to spend with me.

Before leaving the hospital, Dr. Chen Cheng specifically spoke with her, telling her that she must have someone accompany me to ensure I could be in contact with people, so that I would have the desire to confide in others and to maximize the chances that my condition would not relapse.

"If you're really worried about me, you might as well divorce me sooner rather than later."

After we get divorced, we can each go our own way. I guarantee I don't have any illnesses.

Divorce is the best medicine for me!

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia's pretty face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

After a long silence, she completely ignored what I said and said in a deep voice, "You should think carefully about what I'm saying."

I rolled my eyes and turned to take out my tablet.

My consideration was useless. Someone as decisive as Shen Zhixia would only make choices that satisfied herself.

I reached out and gently tapped the table, my gaze falling on the solid wood bookcase next to me.

When exactly did Xu Jin enter the bedroom and move that solid wood cabinet?

While I was hospitalized, I thought about going back to the villa to examine the traces left at the scene, find evidence, hand over the evidence of Xu Jin's intentional homicide to the police, and send Xu Jin to jail.

By the time I calmed down, it was too late; the villa had already been cleaned spotless.

That noon, Shen Zhixia and I had lunch together.

During the meal, Shen Zhixia was very attentive to me, looking at me with concern, "Nanchen, try the food today and see if it's good?"

"Unappetizing."

I gave a cold reply and mechanically picked up some food and put it in my mouth to eat.

Shen Zhixia pursed her lips, picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, and put it in my bowl.

"Only when you are well-fed can your body recover its health."

I couldn't be bothered to talk to her and didn't reply.

After I finished eating, Shen Zhixia's assistant, Li Xiangnan, arrived, carrying a stack of resumes.

"Mr. Shen, these are the bodyguard information you just requested. All of them are resumes selected according to your requirements."

Shen Zhixia took the stack of resumes that Li Xiangnan handed over and placed them in front of me. "Nanchen, these are all bodyguard profiles for people around your age. See if any of them are a good fit."

I frowned slightly, a little impatiently.

I just told Shen Zhixia that I don't need anyone to take care of me and that I can cook for myself, but she still forced me to choose someone according to her own ideas.

She made it sound nice that she picked someone to chat with me and make me want to confide in her, but in reality, she brought someone over just to monitor my every move.

So what's the difference between me being at home and being in jail?

Thinking about this, I felt inexplicably irritable, and my abdomen seemed to start to ache slightly.

During my time in the mental hospital, whenever Meng Jinghuai came to see me, he would always check my physical condition and bring me the new medication that Dr. Lin had prescribed for me.

I feel like it's been a long time since I've had abdominal pain.

I frowned, and couldn't help but hunch over, staring blankly ahead.

Shen Zhixia, who was standing next to me, waited for a while but still didn't hear my reply. Following my gaze, she immediately saw the solid wood carved cabinet placed not far away.

She froze, immediately recalling what had happened that day, and called out to me anxiously.

"Ji Nanchen?"

After I came to my senses, I looked at her with deep eyes and said expressionlessly, "Since I have no right to decide, why do you need to ask me again?"
