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

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinghuai agreed without hesitation.

"I only have 300,000 yuan on hand right now. I'll transfer it all to you first, and I'll borrow the rest."

He knew that in the past few years, I had no other social circle besides my studio and Shen Zhixia, so he said he would help me borrow money.

My heart warmed, and I murmured thank you.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped downstairs at my mother's house. I had all the money ready.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a large crowd gathered downstairs, discussing the matter.

"Why would someone jump off a building when everything is fine?"

"At your age, what's there to be upset about?"

"I heard it's because Sister Zhang was scammed out of a lot of money and can't pay it back now, so the debt collectors came to her door, that's why..."

"Do you know how much money you were scammed out of?"

"I don't know, but I heard that the house was mortgaged a long time ago."

Suicide attempt, scam, debt collectors at the door?

I overheard a few snippets of conversation, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in my heart.

I walked forward, panting and trembling, wanting to see if the person being watched inside was my mother.

Just then, Lin Shuanghong, my mother's best friend, who was standing in front of me, suddenly turned to look at me, her eyes red and her voice choked with sobs, "Nanchen, you're here. Your mother..."

Before Lin Shuanghong could finish speaking, she lowered her head and began to sob softly.

I didn't dare look at who was lying on the ground, and only turned to look at Lin Shuanghong, "Aunt Lin, where's my mother? Where did she go?"

“Your mother jumped off the building, Nanchen. Aunt Lin knows you’re heartbroken, but don’t be too sad. We who are alive must continue to live. Your mother would definitely want you to live well too.”

By the end, Lin Shuanghong was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers in front of me consciously made way for me.

When I looked up, I immediately saw Zhang Guifen lying not far away, with a patch of scarlet blood on the ground, which was extremely glaring.

She lay quietly on the ground, her face deathly pale, her body disheveled, and motionless.

My tears streamed down my face. My mind went blank as I stared at the woman lying on the ground not far away. I stammered, "Mom, what are you doing lying on the ground? Get up!"

"I've already borrowed the money you owed, and we can pay it back now."

But all I got in response was silence.

The surrounding chatter had disappeared at some point, and the whole world seemed to have quieted down.

Zhang Guifen remained lying motionless on the ground.

I stammered, my body trembling, and stumbled over to kneel beside Zhang Guifen. I gently nudged her arm.

"Mom, don't sleep, the floor is cold, get up quickly."

No one answered me.

I feel like my heart has been stabbed hard; even breathing hurts.

"mom……"

I opened my mouth to wake Zhang Guifen, but only a hoarse sob escaped my lips.

I was trembling uncontrollably. I wanted to help Zhang Guifen up, but I didn't have the strength to stand up.

"Mom, I've already borrowed the money, why didn't you wait for me?"

After I murmured these words, it suddenly dawned on me that I had come here after receiving a phone call from that person.

Where did those people go?

I searched everywhere for the group of people, but I couldn't find a trace of them at all.

The person in charge clearly promised me that he would pay me back within ten days, so why did he suddenly come to my door today demanding the money back?

And Zhang Guifen, she was clearly very afraid of pain, how could she possibly commit suicide by jumping off a building?

This isn't right, this is very wrong!

I turned to Lin Shuanghong, who was standing not far away, as if seeking help. "Aunt Lin, you know my mother is so afraid of pain, she would never jump off a building to commit suicide. Something must have happened that we don't know about."

“Nanchen, Aunt Lin knows you’re upset, but the facts are right in front of you. Your mother committed suicide. You…you have to learn to face reality.”

Lin Shuanghong's eyes were red and she looked at me with heartache.

I shook my head in despair, “Impossible! My mom would never commit suicide, Aunt Lin, did you call the police?”

Lin Shuanghong was stunned for a moment, but in the end she listened to me and picked up her phone to call the police.

I turned my head and, with trembling hands, began to tidy my mother's hair.

"Mom, didn't you say you're old now and it's time for you to enjoy life? Why did you suddenly jump off the building? You promised me that after paying off the money this time, you would never cause trouble again and would eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy life."

"Please get up and talk to me, okay? If you just talk to me, I'll give you money. I'll give you as much as you want."

"Mom, get up!"

I said a lot, but Zhang Guifen lay on the ground motionless and completely ignored me.

Not long after, the police arrived.

The police took Zhang Guifen away, and I got into the police car with them.

Two hours later, the test results came back.

Police said, "No other people's skin flakes or bloodstains were found on the body of the deceased Zhang Guifen, nor were there any marks left from violent resistance. No hair of any third party was found at the scene of the incident. The preliminary determination is that the death was a suicide."

I looked up abruptly at the police and shook my head frantically.

"Impossible. My mom is so afraid of pain, she would never commit suicide."

"And when I got there, I heard the loan company demanding repayment from her. They must have killed my mother!"

The police officer recorded my words in a businesslike manner. "Mr. Ji, we will send people to continue investigating the issues you raised. We will contact you as soon as we have the results. Please go back now and wait patiently for the outcome of the case."

"it is good."

I suddenly felt a chill all over my body, and a sense of emptiness in my chest.

Before I could even leave the police station, I lost consciousness.

I had a dream. In the dream, many things happened, all of them were memories of my time with Zhang Guifen. There was the scene of my dad beating my mom when he was drunk at the beginning, and my mom would occasionally protect me back then. There was also the scene of my mom fiercely refuting my dad's schemes against Su Jinyun. There was also the scene of my mom's smile when she played mahjong. There was also the scene of her smug look when I bought her a house...

As far as I can remember, my mother didn't love me. It seemed like she loved herself more, so how could she suddenly die?

I don't know how much time passed, but when I regained some consciousness, I heard Meng Jinghuai making a phone call to Shen Zhixia.

Meng Jinghuai said, "Shen Zhixia, Nan Chen has fallen into a coma again, and this time the situation is even more critical..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhixia impatiently interrupted, "Is Ji Nanchen's body really that weak? He's in a coma every few days. He doesn't seem tired of acting, but I'm tired just listening to him act."

Meng Jinghuai said with a stern face, "He didn't lie to you, he really is very ill."

"Is he dead now?"
