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

"why?"

Shen Zhixia stared intently at the man sitting next to her, as if trying to see right through him.

Xu Jin's palms were slightly sweaty. Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, she said earnestly, "I was on the verge of death several times before. If Nan Chen hadn't been willing to donate blood, I wouldn't be alive today."

"Xiaxia, now there's finally something I can do to help him. Please give me a chance to repay him, okay?"

"Okay, I'll leave this to you, just remember not to overwork yourself."

At that moment, Shen Zhixia suddenly realized her feelings for Xu Jin.

For so many years, she has been searching for a substitute for Pei Jin, and Xu Jin is the person who looks most like Pei Jin, but she will not divorce Ji Nanchen because of him.

As long as he stays by her side obediently, she doesn't mind supporting him for the rest of her life.

Upon hearing the answer she wanted to hear, Xu Jin smiled brightly, a smile that was clean and pure.

"That's great, I finally have something I can do for Nan Chen."

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "Hurry up and drive me home."

"it is good."

Later that day, Xu Jin took Shen Zhixia home.

As she was about to open the door and get out of the car, he grabbed her hand. "Xiaxia, I know you have no shortage of men around you and you don't plan to divorce Nanchen, but I truly love you."

"If...if one day your relationship improves, will you leave me?"

Shen Zhixia reached out and gently touched his face, smiling as she comforted him, "Silly boy, I won't abandon you."

After she got out of the car and left, Xu Jin immediately sent a message: Everything went smoothly, the plan is proceeding as scheduled.

In the hospital, I lay quietly on the hospital bed, the scene I had just witnessed in the ward kept replaying in my mind.

I haven't seen Xu Jin for a long time. Just when I thought Shen Zhixia and I might be able to get back together, he reappeared.

His appearance reminded me that my tiny fantasy was ridiculously absurd.

My abdomen started to ache again, and I couldn't help but open my mouth wide and gasp for breath in an attempt to calm myself down, but it was no use. The cramping pain in my stomach slowly spread throughout my body, making me gag.

In truth, I know that even if I continue to receive injections of the special drug that inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, I still don't have much time left.

The coma I was in last time took a lot of damage to my body. Recently, my hair loss has become more and more severe. With intermittent chemotherapy, my hair will eventually fall out completely.

"Knock knock knock."

After a knock on the door, the nurse pushed it open and entered the ward.

"I'll change your nutrient solution."

"it is good."

I responded softly, turned to look out the window, and pondered when I could leave.

As the nurse finished changing the IV fluids and was about to leave, I asked softly, "Do you know when I can be discharged?"

The nurse paused for a moment, then turned to look at my medical record hanging at the foot of the hospital bed.

“Mr. Ji, you cannot be discharged from the hospital for the next two weeks. It would be best if you stayed in the hospital to rest.”

It's going to take this long.

I forced a smile. "Okay, thank you."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

After saying this in a gentle voice, the nurse turned and left the ward.

The following days seemed to pass very quickly; five days went by in the blink of an eye.

For the past five days, Shen Zhixia has been visiting me in my hospital room every day, just like before. The difference is that she has been called away by a phone call most of the time.

I knew that the call was from Xu Jin.

Because apart from him, I have never seen Shen Zhixia care about anyone else so much.

On the sixth day, after I had endured another round of chemotherapy, I finally couldn't help but grab Meng Jinghuai's hand and say, "Jinghuai, can I stop having chemotherapy?"

Chemotherapy is so painful.

I don't want to suffer so much pain in the last part of my life.

Meng Jinghuai looked at me silently, his eyes red and he didn't say anything.

I laughed and said, "Jinghuai, I'm only in my twenties. What if I lose all my hair if I continue chemotherapy? I don't want to become a bald guy at such a young age."

As with several previous times, Meng Jinghuai still did not agree to my request.

He laughed it off and said, "If your condition improves, we won't do chemotherapy anymore."

"it is good."

I responded softly, then smiled and changed the subject, talking about the entertainment news I had seen recently.

Meng Jinghuai chatted with me for a while, then told the caregiver to take good care of me before leaving.

As he turned to leave, I clearly saw tears welling up in his eyes.

After the caregiver cut me a plate of fruit, she started tidying up the ward, while I idly turned on my phone.

As soon as I turned on my phone, a trending news item popped up—

[Breaking News! A well-known entertainment reporter reveals that the president of Shen's Group had a late-night rendezvous with her mistress. Just how exciting is her private life?]

I clicked on the trending topics on a whim, and what I saw was a very short video.

The video camera was shaky; it was clearly filmed secretly.

I recognized Shen Zhixia immediately in the video. She and Xu Jin were acting intimately, chatting and laughing as they went home—to the home that was mine and hers.

This time, I'm more accepting of seeing this kind of trending topic. After all, I've seen live broadcasts with much larger scales in the past.

I suddenly felt a little strange about Shen Zhixia's feelings for Xu Jin.

She clearly likes him, but she won't divorce me. Does she really want Xu Jin to be a mistress forever?

The next morning, I saw Shen Zhixia as soon as I woke up.

I was quite shocked that she would come to the hospital so early. The next second, I saw the male mistress carrying breakfast and walking into my ward with a bright smile.

"Xiaxia, Nanchen, I bought breakfast. Let's eat together."

I stared at him without saying anything or making any further moves, and the atmosphere in the ward became somewhat tense.

He looked at me helplessly, then at Shen Zhixia, and after a long while, he said pitifully, "Nan Chen, I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't want to see me. I'll leave right away."

I watched him silently, letting him put on an act in front of Shen Zhixia.

I think all normal men in the world would not want to see a male mistress.

Shen Zhixia glanced at me sideways, then turned to Xu Jin, "You should go back first."

"it is good."

Xu Jin gave a pitiful reply, and as she was leaving the ward, she turned back to look at me with feigned sincerity, "Nan Chen, whether you like me or not, I sincerely hope you can recover as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around and gave me a provocative raised eyebrow.

Shen Zhixia didn't see his little trick. After he left, she sat down by my hospital bed.

"He said he was very grateful to you for donating blood and saving him, so he wanted to thank you in person and also hoped that you would recover soon."

I looked up at her quietly. "Is this an explanation?"
