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

I supported my weak body and walked quickly towards the balcony.

Seeing my actions, Shen Zhixia frowned even more deeply. "What are you trying to do?"

"Shen Zhixia, don't you hate me for causing Pei Jin's death? Then I'll give my life to him now!"

After I finished speaking, I used both hands to brace myself against the balcony railing and jumped off.

The wind howled in her ears, along with Shen Zhixia's panicked cries, "Ji Nanchen!"

Amidst the sound of the wind and her cries, I closed my eyes with a death wish.

But I know I won't die.

The master bedroom is on the second floor. If I jump from the second floor, I will only get injured or be unconscious for a few days.

With a "bang," I landed heavily on the lawn, feeling a dense, throbbing pain in my back, and my consciousness slowly faded away.

When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital.

The pungent smell of alcohol filled my nostrils, and my consciousness slowly returned.

"Xiaxia, he's awake!"

Xu Jin's surprised voice rang out in the ward, and when I looked over, I saw a fleeting look of disgust in his eyes.

He must be furious that I didn't jump off a building and die, right?

Shen Zhixia immediately stood up, glaring at me with an impatient look. "Ji Nanchen, you really went to great lengths to act pitiful, didn't you? You jumped off a building without looking back, even risking getting yourself injured. What was it all for?"

Surely it couldn't be just because he didn't want to apologize to Xu Jin?

Shen Zhixia found the thought that suddenly popped into her mind ridiculous.

She stared at me with a dark look in her eyes, and her tone was even colder when she spoke again.

"Death is the easiest thing, so if you really want to atone for Pei Jin's sins, then you'd better live well and use the guilt you feel for the rest of your life to atone for Pei Jin's sins!"

I looked quietly at the woman standing in front of me, my eyes lowered, and said nothing.

Shen Zhixia's angry voice continued—

"And another thing! If I find you trying to kill yourself again, I won't hesitate to make Meng Jinghuai, Su Jinyun, and everyone in that hospital pay for it!"

My pupils contracted sharply, and I pursed my lips, remaining silent.

At the moment I turned to jump, I was determined to die; I truly didn't want to live anymore.

But the villa wasn't tall enough to kill me.

Shen Zhixia gave me a cold look, then turned and walked out of the ward. Xu Jin, who was standing next to her, quickly followed her out.

After they left, I could faintly hear conversations coming from outside.

Xu Jin asked worriedly, "Xiaxia, Nan Chen has just woken up and his injuries haven't healed yet. If you lose your temper with him now, what if he has a moment of madness and tries to commit suicide again?"

Shen Zhixia wearily rubbed her temples and said sarcastically, "How could someone as valuing his life as Ji Nanchen be willing to commit suicide?"

“Xu Jin, I know you are a very good person, kind-hearted, and worried about his health. But let me tell you, Ji Nanchen is not like anyone you’ve ever met before. You don’t need to waste your time on him. He doesn’t deserve your kindness at all.”

She still finds it unbelievable when she thinks back on everything that happened today.

Just because she took action against Meng Jinghuai, Ji Nanchen, out of anger, vented his rage on Xu Jin, not only injuring her but also shamelessly threatening her with suicide. It's utterly ridiculous!

Xu Jin turned her head and glanced in the direction of the ward, revealing a hint of reluctance.

“Okay, I understand. But Nan Chen just went through a lot today, so it’s really not suitable for him to stay in the hospital alone. Why don’t I stay and keep him company?”

"You're injured yourself too, you should go back and rest properly."

"As for Ji Nanchen, it's none of your business whether he lives or dies. Someone like him won't die."

After saying this, Shen Zhixia pulled Xu Jin away without further ado.

I lay in my hospital bed, listening to the absurd conversation outside. With a somber expression, I turned to look out the window, a single tear sliding down my cheek and disappearing into my hair.

Shen Zhixia did not appear for the next two days.

Meng Jinghuai called me the next day. When I answered the phone, he sounded quite angry.

He said, "Nanchen, didn't we agree to come to the hospital for your check-up today? Where are you?"

"I have something to do this morning, I'll go over this afternoon."

I looked wearily at the sunlight outside the window, feeling utterly drained.

To be honest, after what happened that day, I didn't want to continue treatment.

The treatment is very painful, and I don't see any point in continuing to live.

Meng Jinghuai tightened his grip on his phone and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked again, his tone noticeably more anxious.

"Did Shen Zhixia bully you again?"

"No."

I paused for a moment, then lowered my eyes and said softly, "I just suddenly felt like there was no point in continuing with the treatment."

"Ji Nanchen, the meaning of living lies not in others, but only in yourself."

After saying this seriously, Meng Jinghuai hung up the phone immediately.

I stared blankly ahead, murmuring to myself, "The meaning of living lies only in myself."

This statement was profoundly impactful to me.

Throughout my life, I grew up in a dysfunctional family, so I saw Shen Zhixia, who saved me, as my only light and couldn't help but follow in her footsteps.

Later, as I grew up, I met Su Jinyun, and I began to understand that love is precious. So I dated her, but we broke up in the end because I wanted to protect her.

Then, I met Shen Zhixia. Because she had a bad relationship, I wanted to save her in the same way she had saved me.

But in the end, I myself became deeply mired in the mire.

Meng Jinghuai is right. I want to live on, for myself and for them.

Later that day, I went to complete the discharge procedures myself. When I met Meng Jinghuai, who had been waiting for me for a long time, at the hospital, we smiled at each other, and everything was understood without words.

After I finished my examination, Meng Jinghuai took my test report and accompanied me to see Dr. Lin to inquire about my latest health condition.

Meng Jinghuai respectfully handed the examination report to Dr. Lin, "Dr. Lin, could you please take a look at Nan Chen's current physical condition?"

Dr. Lin took my test report, examined it carefully for a moment, and then his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Your condition has worsened again."

“Mr. Ji, according to our original plan, in addition to taking your medication every day, you also need to come back every now and then to receive injections of a special drug that inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, in addition to chemotherapy.”

“If everything had gone according to plan, you would have had the opportunity to extend your life by two or three years. But today’s test results clearly do not match our expectations.”

"Did you not take your medicine on time after you went back?"
