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

"Has she not left yet?"

I thought she had left the city after I stood her up for the last medical check-up.

Meng Jinghuai shook his head. "No, the hospital has a new case that's a bit tricky, so the expert team we invited plans to stay for another week to analyze the condition and help the patient recover as soon as possible."

“I’m fine, you can tell Jinyun not to come, so as not to take up her time.”

My feelings for Su Jinyun are complicated, so I don't want to get entangled with her too much.

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinghuai, who was standing by the hospital bed, rejected my suggestion without even thinking.

He said, "Ji Nanchen, I offered a large sum of money to have Jin Yun stay and treat your illness. If you don't know what's good for you, see how I deal with you."

Hearing his words warmed my heart.

It was just because I helped Meng Jinghuai who was being bullied when I was young, I never expected that he would remember it for so many years.

While we were talking, Su Jinyun knocked on the door and came in.

"How do you feel now?"

"pretty good."

I looked at Su Jinyun's cold expression with a complicated expression, and after a long silence, I finally spoke up to explain, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stand you up that day, I..."

I was halfway through my explanation when I suddenly didn't know how to continue explaining to Su Jinyun.

When Shen Zhixia locked me in the house, I still had my phone and could have called for help, but I was afraid that if this matter became a big deal, it would have a bad impact on Shen Zhixia, so I endured it once again.

Su Jinyun looked at me quietly, not hearing what I continued, and raised an eyebrow mockingly.

Why did you stop talking?

"Is it because you can't make up a story anymore, so you don't know how to explain it?"

Seeing her like this, I felt inexplicably flustered and stammered, "I didn't lie to you."

I have never lied to you.

When I was young and naive, I truly liked you.

Back then, I naively wanted to spend my life with you, but I forgot that my family was such a hellhole.

My dad is an alcoholic and gambler. When he's drunk, he beats my mom and me, but in public, he plays the role of a good father.

He was known as a kind-hearted person in the surrounding area, so when my mother told others that my father would abuse us, everyone thought my mother had gone crazy.

Gradually, as my mother was beaten and talked about more, she really started to go a little crazy.

At that time, Su Jinyun did not look down on our family situation at all and stayed with me.

I met the cheerful and bright Jinyun when I was just beginning to experience love. I thought we would live a simple life like most ordinary people.

But to my surprise, one day after school, I overheard my dad's scheme.

Through the slightly ajar door, I saw my dad grab my mom by the neck and say, "Next time Jinyun comes to our house, put those sleeping pills in the water and make them both drink them."

"After they all fall asleep, I'll secretly sell Jinyun, and then our family will have money!"

My mother shook her head with difficulty, "No...no, Jinyun is still a child, you can't do this to her."

"You wretched woman, do you have a death wish?!"

My dad was gripping my mom's hand tightly, and I could clearly see her face getting paler and paler.

Just then, I pretended to have just arrived home and shouted, "Mom and Dad, I'm home!"

"Ji Nanchen, you don't need to explain to me. Your life is your own. If you die, I won't be sad at all. I'll set off firecrackers to celebrate your early demise!"

Su Jinyun's sarcastic words immediately brought me back to reality.

Meng Jinghuai stood beside me, wanting to speak up for me, but I stopped him with a look.

Looking at Su Jinyun's icy demeanor, I tightened my grip slightly on the blanket. "Dr. Su, how much longer do you think I have to live?"

Su Jinyun looked down at my newly released test report carefully, her brows furrowing more and more.

"Your recent episodes have been quite frequent. You must control your emotions when something happens and avoid large emotional fluctuations, as they are not good for your condition."

"Also, if you are hospitalized now, cooperate with the treatment, and take your medication and chemotherapy on time, you should be able to live for two or three years without any problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, my good friend couldn't wait to ask, "Can he take that special drug you mentioned before that specifically inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells?"

"Yes, but the medicine won't be cheap."

As Su Jinyun said this, a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes as she looked at me. "Given your current condition, a few courses of treatment could double your lifespan."

I asked again in a hoarse voice.

"In my case, what is the estimated cost of treatment?"

Su Jinyun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at me with even more mockery. "You've followed Shen Zhixia for so many years. Even if you haven't done anything great, you've certainly put in a lot of effort. She wouldn't just stand by and watch you die, would she?"

I forced a smile and nodded slightly.

"of course not."

Su Jinyun's face darkened, but she quickly regained her composure and uttered a few words indifferently, "Two or three million."

"If there's nothing wrong, just rest well and cooperate with the treatment."

Before leaving the ward, Su Jinyun left these words. No sooner had she left than a nurse came to ask Meng Jinghuai to come and see her.

I told him to go ahead and get busy, and that I would stay in the hospital and cooperate with the treatment.

After he left, I turned and quietly looked at the sun outside the window.

After learning that I had late-stage stomach cancer, I decided to be kinder to myself, divorce Shen Zhixia, and learn to love myself.

I originally thought that now that Shen Zhixia had found Xu Jin, someone so much like Pei Jin, she would be happy to divorce me and spend her life with him.

But to my surprise, she still wouldn't let me go.

If I can't divorce her, my life will still be trapped here.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have lived the life I wanted so freely in this lifetime.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the door to my hospital room was pushed open forcefully. When I turned around, I immediately saw Shen Zhixia, who was coming in aggressively.

She hasn't left yet?

When I came to my senses, I immediately noticed that her expression was very strange.

"what happened to you?"

My concerned voice acted like a fuse, instantly igniting Shen Zhixia's anger.

"Ji Nanchen, I knew you were always healthy, how could you suddenly get cancer, fall into a coma, and be hospitalized? It turns out that you and that Meng Jinghuai were putting on an act to fool me!"

"You think I was acting to fool you?"

When I asked her that question, I couldn't suppress the sadness deep inside my heart.

I suddenly found it ridiculous. How many outrageous things had I done over the years that made Shen Zhixia think I was a ridiculous person who would fake terminal cancer to deceive her?

At that moment, I felt a tightness in my chest, but I forced myself to stay calm and asked her, "What reason would I have to fake being sick to lie to you?"
