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

Chapter 16 Pretending to be asleep was discovered

Over the years, my marriage with Shen Zhixia has been a major entertainment headline in the media. Su Jinyun has seen our scandalous news and naturally knows what Shen Zhixia looks like.

She just never imagined that I would endure being cuckolded for so long because of a woman like that.

She stared intently at Shen Zhixia, "Someone like you doesn't deserve Ji Nanchen's complete love!"

Shen Zhixia was taken aback, seemingly never expecting that someone would say such a thing to her one day.

Before she could speak, Meng Jinghuai's hoarse voice rang out first—

"Shen Zhixia, do you know how Nan Chen spent those nights you went out to play?"

"He knows you hate him, so he tirelessly explains his innocence to you, thinking that by treating you well day after day, he can eventually make you see his goodness and believe that he is innocent. But what about you? You never believe him and even take pleasure in tormenting him."

"Let me tell you, Pei Jin has never been a good person. You're so capable, why have you never thought to investigate Pei Jin's past?"

Shen Zhixia remained silent.

She had actually suspected that Pei Jin wasn't the person he appeared to be, but since he was already dead, she didn't dare to investigate.

She feared that what she had been so persistent about was actually a mistake.

Meng Jinghuai continued speaking, each word striking a chord with Shen Zhixia.

"The men around you keep changing, and each one looks more and more like Pei Jin. Have you ever considered Nan Chen's feelings?"

"He suffered from severe depression for a long time and attempted suicide many times. If it weren't for luck, he wouldn't be alive today!"

"Shen Zhixia, most of his suffering was caused by you, and you cannot escape blame!"

Meng Jinghuai's words pierced Shen Zhixia's heart, causing her pain, but she knew that now was not the time to be sad.

She looked up at Su Jinyun and asked in a low voice, "How much will it cost to cure his illness?"

"You don't actually think that curing his illness will make up for the harm you've caused him, do you?"

Su Jinyun's expression grew even colder; she hadn't expected Shen Zhixia to be so outrageous.

That scumbag Ji Nanchen really has bad eyesight.

Shen Zhixia looked at her stubbornly and replied coldly, "I will investigate Pei Jin's matter again and find out the truth. As for the harm I caused him, I will do my best to make up for it. As for his illness, I will use whatever medicine works. I just want him to live."

"If you just want him to live, why don't you divorce him?"

Meng Jinghuai could not contain his anger and questioned him bluntly: "He has been by your side for so many years, treating you with all his heart. Now that he doesn't have much time left, he just wants to be good to himself. What's wrong with that?"

"Shen Zhixia, you're not even human!"

After angrily uttering those words, he could no longer tolerate such a disgusting woman as Shen Zhixia and turned to leave.

Before leaving, Su Jinyun said coldly, "Transfer three million to the hospital's account. I will immediately purchase the special medicine from the research lab, and use it as soon as it arrives."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Over the years, she has also hated Ji Nanchen, hated him for being blind and ungrateful, for breaking up with such an excellent woman like her and choosing to marry such a despicable person.

Logically, she should be happy to see his fate, but she isn't.

why?

……

When I regained some consciousness in the intensive care unit, it was already three days later.

I heard the beeping of the instruments, mixed with Meng Jinghuai's whispers.

He said, "Nanchen, we've already given you the special drug to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. You still have a long time to live, so wake up quickly."

"After your mother found out about your situation, she's been going to the hospital every few days. She's lost a lot of weight. If you don't wake up, what will she, an old lady, do?"

"And Su Jinyun, she seems to still care about you a bit, she comes to check on you in the ICU from time to time."

He talked to me for a long time, and his voice choked up at the end.

I know he's worried about me. I want to wake up, but I just can't open my eyes.

Not long after he left, Shen Zhixia arrived.

Her voice was as cold and calm as before, "Ji Nanchen, I investigated Pei Jin's matter. He is indeed very different from what I imagined, and you could even say he is completely unrelated. But that doesn't prove that you are not the murderer who killed him."

"If it weren't for you, why would you have ended up on the rooftop with him that day?"

"Ji Nanchen, this time, I'm willing to listen to your explanation. Please wake up and tell me everything you've experienced, okay?"

Tell her the truth?

If I tell her, will she believe me?

If she had been willing to believe me, she could have investigated what kind of person Pei Jin was much earlier, and we might not have ended up in this situation.

This time I tried really hard to open my eyes, but it was no use.

She eventually left the intensive care unit, and the room returned to calm.

Three days later, I woke up one morning.

I squinted, struggling to see everything in the ward, feeling that the world was both strange and familiar.

Around 8 o'clock, I didn't expect that the first person I saw after waking up was Shen Zhixia.

The smell of disinfectant in the intensive care unit made her frown slightly. She pursed her lips and silently walked to the bedside and sat down.

"Ji Nanchen, many days have passed, why haven't you woken up yet?"

She glanced at my IV line, her eyes slightly red.

She was afraid, afraid that I would never wake up again.

I pursed my lips and didn't speak, pretending I hadn't woken up, but she continued talking.

She said, "The doctor said that as long as you cooperate with the treatment, there is a possibility of recovery. I have already transferred the money for your treatment to the hospital. If they don't cure you, I will definitely sue them!"

As she was speaking, a nurse in protective gear came in to change my dressing, and Shen Zhixia turned to look at her.

Is there any chance he'll wake up today?

"When the patient wants to wake up, they will naturally wake up."

The nurse said this while changing my dressing.

My fingers trembled slightly as I hesitated whether to open my eyes and speak. Just then, Shen Zhixia suddenly stood up with a strong reaction, pointing at my hand with a look of astonishment.

"Nurse, he... he just moved his hand!"

The nurse turned to look at my finger, hesitated for a long time, and then said seriously, "I'll go and call the doctor right away."

She had barely left when Shen Zhixia stared intently at my face.

"Ji Nanchen, you're awake, why are you pretending to be asleep?"
