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

Shen Zhixia's body stiffened slightly, and her expression changed for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

"I do not recognize."

What she didn't know was that I loved her so much, for so many years, that I could tell she was lying from just one little expression on her face.

Shen Zhixia knew that group of people. Was Zhang Guifen's death related to her?

I turned my head and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling, my mind involuntarily recalling the crimson stain downstairs from Zhang Guifen's house, both glaring and terrifying.

The next second, tears uncontrollably streamed down my face.

“Shen Zhixia, the police said that no other person’s skin flakes or bloodstains were found on my mother’s body, nor were there any marks left from violent resistance. They also did not find any hair of any third party at the place where she jumped from the building, so they determined that she committed suicide.”

Those who know Zhang Guifen know that she is snobbish and cowardly, a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. Someone like her would think that it's better to live a miserable life than to die. How could someone like that choose to jump off a building?

Unless, of course, she did not commit suicide.

I turned to look at Shen Zhixia sitting by the hospital bed, my eyes filled with complex emotions.

Shen Zhixia looked at me with feigned composure, "So what? Why are you telling me all this? How am I supposed to know why your mother committed suicide?"

Do you really believe she committed suicide?

My gaze toward her grew sharper. I wanted to get the answer from Shen Zhixia, but I was also afraid of actually getting the answer from her.

Shen Zhixia avoided my gaze, pretending to get up and pour me a glass of water. "If she didn't commit suicide, what else could it be?"

I took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Shen Zhixia, is that you?"

Did you kill my mother?

I don't know when it started, but the veins in my hands, which were gripping the blanket tightly, became bulging, and my eyes were bloodshot as I stared at Shen Zhixia.

I desperately wanted to know the answer, yet I was also afraid to hear her reply.

I'm afraid she'll say it really is her, what should I do then?

Shen Zhixia placed the water glass beside the hospital bed and looked at me calmly. "Ji Nanchen, if it were me, how could the police possibly let me go?"

"A wild goose leaves a trace as it flies by; a murder cannot be committed without leaving a trace."

These words sound familiar; they are the words I've repeatedly said to Shen Zhixia over the years in an attempt to gain her trust.

I looked at Shen Zhixia sitting by the hospital bed with a self-deprecating smile. "Shen Zhixia, you have nothing left to threaten me with. I don't want to donate blood to your male lover anymore, and I don't want to wear this green hat until I die!"

"You have nothing left to threaten me with?" Shen Zhixia's expression changed, her eyes fixed on me coldly. "Ji Nanchen, I paid off your mother's debts, and you still owe me money! Now that your mother's debts are paid off, you think it doesn't matter anymore?"

"Besides your mother, what about Meng Jinghuai, whom you care about? Do you think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him?"

"Oh, and there's Dr. Lin who conspired with you to lie to me, the caregivers at this hospital, and those nurses who changed your dressings. Ji Nanchen, don't test my limits, or I don't know what crazy things I might do."

In his mind, she had always been a ruthless and unscrupulous person, so if she didn't say something now, it would really be unfair to his misunderstanding.

Shen Zhixia looked at me with a gloomy gaze and exuded a cold aura.

I stared at her intently. "We weren't acting to lie to you."

"so what?"

Shen Zhixia asked indifferently, her voice full of nonchalance, "Ji Nanchen, you know that money can solve most problems in this world. If money can't solve problems, then I'll spend even more money to solve them."

"As long as I'm willing to pay, there are plenty of people who can solve my problems, don't you think?"

I took a deep breath, wanting to refute, but I couldn't find the words to say anything.

I know she can say it and she can do it.

Shen Zhixia stared at me and smiled mockingly, "Ji Nanchen, this hospital has a good reputation. If a few more medical disputes were to occur, what do you think this place would become?"

I clenched my fists tightly, trying to suppress the anger rising in my heart, and glared angrily at the woman sitting by the hospital bed.

But she was completely unaffected; instead, her smile became even brighter.

"See, you've been threatened by me now."

I pursed my lips, turned my head, and looked away from Shen Zhixia.

I was threatened by her because I still care about these things.

I don't want to cause them trouble because of me. They haven't done anything wrong and shouldn't be hurt because of me.

Anyway, I don't have much time left, so it's good to exchange my few months for their safety.

Shen Zhixia waited for a long time but didn't hear me speak again, so she knew that I had given in.

She reached out and picked up the water glass from beside the hospital bed, handing it to me. "Ji Nanchen, I won't divorce you. Don't say things I don't like to hear again."

I didn't say anything, nor did I reach out to take the cup she offered.

Shen Zhixia didn't mind, smiled and put the cup back in the distance, "You get some rest, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Just as she was about to leave, there was a knock on the door, and the next second, the door was pushed open from the outside.

It was Meng Jinghuai. As soon as he walked in, he looked at me with concern and asked, "Nanchen, how are you?"

"he's good."

Shen Zhixia turned her head, her gaze lingered on me for three seconds, then turned to Meng Jinghuai, "I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."

Just as she was about to leave the ward, Meng Jinghuai called out to her, "Shen Zhixia, you should get a divorce."

Shen Zhixia paused, her delicate brows furrowing in displeasure. She turned to look at Meng Jinghuai standing behind her, saying, "Our marital status is none of your business, you outsider's concern."

"Shen Zhixia, haven't you tormented him enough? Look at the state you've left him in!"

Unable to contain his anger, Meng Jinghuai rushed forward to confront Shen Zhixia, "For so many years, he has done nothing wrong, yet he has endured so much humiliation. Isn't that enough? He has nothing left now, so please let him go!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia smiled slightly and turned to look at the man standing behind her.

Why don't you ask him if he's really willing to divorce me?
