"As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you can live for several more years!"

"Nan Chen, you've spent so much time on Shen Zhixia all these years and haven't gotten anything in return. Now you should focus all your attention on yourself."

My good brother's voice was clearly urgent; I knew he couldn't bear to see me die so young.

I pursed my lips and said softly, "Jing Huai, I want to divorce Shen Zhixia."

"divorce?"

Meng Jinghuai stood up in surprise and walked over to me. After looking me up and down, he asked uncertainly, "Did I hear that right?"

I nodded, and the events that happened at the hospital that day involuntarily flashed through my mind.

In the past, Shen Zhixia was the only light in my life, my life. Now that my life is almost over, I want to live for myself for a while and try to live without Shen Zhixia.

After his initial shock, Meng Jinghuai exclaimed that I had finally figured it out and patted my chest, saying he wanted to have a good meal with me to celebrate.

He said, "Nan Chen, you like Shen Zhixia so much that you're not like yourself anymore."

Shen Zhixia is my life. Because I love her, I've become a different person, which is not surprising.

Strangely enough, I said I wanted to divorce her so easily.

That noon, my good brother and I had a relatively light meal, and afterwards we reminisced about the past.

When I finally dragged my tired body home, it was already nine o'clock at night.

She hasn't come back; she's probably still at the hospital with Xu Jin.

Countless nights in the past have been spent alone in my empty home.

As usual, I sat on the sofa and called her several times, but she didn't answer.

I numbly tossed my phone onto the sofa and turned to look towards the kitchen.

In the three years of our marriage, I've cooked many meals for her, but she's never eaten any of them.

I thought that as long as I persisted, she would eventually see my good qualities, but now I realize that some people's encounters are wrong from the very beginning.

That night, I sat on the sofa and waited for Shen Zhixia all night, but she didn't come back.

Once it was past midnight, I got up and quietly started packing my things that belonged to me in this house.

At six o'clock in the morning, I took the few belongings I had in this house and moved out of the home I had always dreamed of.

A few days later, I received a call from Shen Zhixia.

"You haven't been home for the past few days?"

My hand tightened around my phone, trying my best to control my emotions. "Xu Jin is in trouble again?"

Aside from Xu Jin needing my blood because of something going wrong, I can't think of any other reason why she would call me.

"No."

Shen Zhixia's voice was still as cold as ever when she answered me, as if she had always been a cold person.

I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Shen Zhixia, let's get a divorce."

"What did you say?"

Shen Zhixia's shocked voice came through the phone; I could even imagine her astonished expression.

In the three years we've been married, she's had countless affairs and cheated on me so many times, yet I've never mentioned divorce to her.

But this time is different, because I'm dying.

I want to be kind to myself during these last moments.

Soon, Shen Zhixia's mocking voice rang out again from the phone, "Ji Nanchen, are you trying to force me to break up with Xu Jin completely?"

"I do not have."

As I finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed through my mind.

If Shen Zhixia really breaks up with Xu Jin because she's afraid of divorcing me, should I still get a divorce?

I've loved her so humbly for so long, and never received a response from her. If she loves me too, then I...

"Ji Nanchen, you..."

Before Shen Zhixia could finish speaking, the maid's exclamation came through the phone.

"Miss, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly faint?"

I was startled and immediately stood up. "What happened?"

"Mr. Ji, Miss suddenly fainted for some unknown reason."

The maid had barely finished speaking when I turned and walked outside. "Call the doctor over right away. I'm heading back now."

"Ok."

After hearing the maid's reply, I immediately hung up the phone, started the car, and drove towards home.

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the villa.

I rushed into the house as fast as I could, only to find Shen Zhixia sitting on the sofa looking radiant. The person sitting next to her, chatting and laughing with her, was Xu Jin.

In a daze, I remembered what she looked like when I first met her many years ago.

That day, the sun shone brightly outside the window, and her smile was radiant and cheerful, like light illuminating my small room.

She said, "Little one, don't be afraid. Although your family doesn't have money, my family does! I'll take care of your tuition."

On that day, I vowed that I would work hard and repay her in the future.

But when I met her again, she had become Pei Jin's girlfriend, and Pei Jin was still the same kind of person...

After the maid led me in, she noticed that I hadn't spoken for a long time, so she said something.

"Miss, Mr. Ji has arrived."

Upon hearing this, I slightly tightened my grip on my hands at my sides.

My mother-in-law, Shen Zhixia, doesn't like me, so even during the years we've been married, the servants still call her "Miss."

I originally thought it was just a name, nothing serious.

It wasn't until this moment that I realized she hated me more than I had imagined.

Hearing the noise, Shen Zhixia turned to look at me with a bright smile, but her face was full of impatience.

"Ji Nanchen, what are you doing now?"

I pursed my lips and didn't speak. When I turned my head slightly, my gaze met Xu Jin's eyes.

He looked at me defiantly, but the moment he opened his mouth, he switched to an innocent and pitiful expression.

"Xiaxia, Nanchen looks a little pale. Could it be because he's been working too hard lately and hasn't been getting enough rest...?"

"What could be so busy in his shabby studio?"

After saying that with a sneer, Shen Zhixia spoke again in an even colder tone, "Ji Nanchen, Aunt Zhang said you haven't been home for the past two days. What trick are you trying to pull this time?"

Before I could speak, Xu Jin's cautious voice rang out in the villa's hall—

"Nan Chen, you don't mean you've misunderstood my relationship with Xia Xia, that's why you're not coming home, right?"

"Let me explain. My relationship with Xiaxia isn't what you think. We..."

Before he could finish his sultry remarks, I angrily walked over, grabbed his collar, and punched him in the face.

After I knocked him down, I straddled him and punched him with all my might, wishing I could kill him.

Since I'm about to die anyway, I might as well take him to hell with me!

After a few punches, Xu Jin's face quickly became bruised and swollen.

He curled up on the sofa, howling in pain, "Ji Nanchen, why did you hit me!"
