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

I looked at her calmly and slowly began to explain, "The reason I went to the rooftop that night was because Pei Jin sent me a message and asked me to meet her there."

“When I arrived, he told me some things and asked me to lend him money to invest. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn’t listen. Then he said he was wrong, but it was too late to turn back.”

"He also said that if I didn't help him, he would make me suffer for the rest of my life, and then he jumped right in front of me."

“Shen Zhixia, Pei Jin’s death has nothing to do with me. He really committed suicide.”

After I finished speaking, the intensive care unit fell into a brief silence.

Not long after, Shen Zhixia suddenly asked a question.

What did he tell you?

I was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her to ask me that question.

This is the reason why I haven't been willing to explain it to her all these years.

I hope she never finds out the truth, otherwise she will live in pain for the rest of her life.

I gave her a complicated look, then turned to look out the window. "I forgot. It happened so many years ago. How could I possibly remember?"

"Ji Nanchen, when the police examined the body back then, they found that Pei Jin had been fighting with someone before her death. If it wasn't you, then who was it?"

Upon hearing this, my palms became slightly sweaty, and I was speechless.

When this happened, the police checked Pei Jin's itinerary for nearly 12 hours and found that I was the only one who had met with Pei Jin before his death.

Moreover, I was present when he died, so I am a prime suspect.

That's why Shen Zhixia personally took me to the police station.

As for my later acquittal, it was because the scratches and skin flakes on Pei Jin's body had been cleaned up, and there was absolutely no evidence to prove that I did it.

"Ji Nanchen?"

Shen Zhixia hadn't heard my reply for a long time, so she couldn't help but call out to me.

After regaining my senses, I pursed my lips and said with a bitter smile, "Shen Zhixia, please believe me, I really didn't kill him. If it were me, how could the police possibly let me go?"

"Ah."

Shen Zhixia responded casually, clearly not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer. "Ji Nanchen, what's past is past. Let's just leave it at that."

What she meant was that she still didn't believe me.

So she's being nice to me now because she pities me, right?

I withdrew my gaze from her and turned to stare at the dazzling sunlight outside the window.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I've known Shen Zhixia for over a decade, and my remaining time is also short, which will pass in the blink of an eye.

People are prone to being a little oblivious sometimes. If being a little oblivious can give me and her a wonderful life together, then I'm willing to do it.

After a long silence, Shen Zhixia got up and walked towards the outside of the intensive care unit.

Just as she was about to leave, I called out in a bit of a panic, "Shen Zhixia?"

She turned around and gave me a gentle smile, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, I just went to get you some porridge. You haven't eaten for several days, you should eat something to tide you over."

Later that day, Shen Zhixia smiled gently and fed me a whole bowl of porridge.

After we got married, I used to fantasize about having a pleasant dinner with her, but that never happened.

She's treating me so well now, it's like a dream come true. I can't help but fantasize that if I could live a few more years, could we start over and live a loving and ordinary life like any other couple?

After lunch, Shen Zhixia and I chatted for a while. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, I couldn't bear to let her stay in the hospital with me any longer, so I told her to go back and rest.

Not long after she left, the doctor came and gave me a thorough examination. The final result was that my condition was relatively stable and I could be transferred to a regular ward.

Meng Jinghuai ran around helping me complete my formalities, his smile beaming.

"Nan Chen, I told you that as long as you cooperate with the treatment, you'll be fine!"

"Thank you."

If it weren't for Meng Jinghuai, I might have died long ago.

Just as I was filled with emotion, Meng Jinghuai sat down by my bedside and carefully instructed me, "Nanchen, although you've woken up now, you still need to be careful about your diet. For now, you can only eat light foods, and it's best to eat liquid foods."

"it is good."

I responded softly and said with a smile, "I'm lucky to be alive. It's just that I eat a lighter diet, it's no big deal."

"she……"

Meng Jinghuai opened his mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated, unsure whether he should.

He scratched his head, then steeled himself and asked directly, "How are things between you and her now?"

I smiled and said gently, "She said the past is the past, and from now on, we should be like any other ordinary couple."

Meng Jinghuai frowned and clasped his hands together.

"Nan Chen, do you really believe she's changed for the better?"

He couldn't believe that a person could change so drastically over time.

He was afraid I would get hurt, so after hesitating for a long time, he finally told me.

I lowered my eyes, staring at the pristine white blanket, and the image of vomiting blood that day flashed through my mind.

Shen Zhixia was panicked and at a loss at the time. She was probably also afraid that I would suddenly die.

I didn't answer Meng Jinghuai's question, but instead asked with a smile, "What happened while I was unconscious?"

After hearing my words, Meng Jinghuai remained silent for a long time before finally recounting what had happened during this period.

He said, "After you fell into a coma, Shen Zhixia would come to the hospital to see you whenever she had free time. At first, I told her to get lost and stop bothering you, but she didn't listen and came every day, even more often than your aunt."

Has Xu Jin been here?

"No."

Meng Jinghuai paused for a moment, then got up to pour me a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table. "He doesn't look like a good person at all. What's he doing at the hospital?"

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "However, I did hear him call Shen Zhixia several times, asking her to come over for dinner, but Shen Zhixia refused each time."

"She actually had the heart to reject him."

This is something I didn't expect.

Based on Shen Zhixia's past behavior, whenever she encountered anything related to Xu Jin, she would unconditionally drop everything she was doing to go and be with him.

Now she's actually rejecting Xu Jin because of me. Is she really trying to let go of that person?

Meng Jinghuai responded and subtly changed the subject.

“We were all very worried about you while you were in a coma. Your aunt came to the hospital and cried many times. If you don’t wake up soon, we will all lose our composure.”

I silently looked up at him and asked in a low voice, "Did my mother really come to see me?"
