Shen Zhixia turned to look at me, then her gaze fell back on Dr. Zhao.

"He had a stomach hemorrhage a while ago, could that be related to this?"

"Have."

Dr. Zhao gave a definite answer and then explained, "I just took Mr. Ji's pulse and found that his body is deficient, his stomach is slightly hot, and his immunity has dropped a lot recently. He must have had a serious illness, but he has not fully recovered yet."

Not fully recovered from a serious illness?

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia immediately thought of my previous hospitalization for a stomach hemorrhage.

She nodded and said in a deep voice, "He had a stomach hemorrhage some time ago and was treated for a while. Then a few days ago, he jumped from the second floor and was injured to varying degrees."

"This fever should be considered a complication. His immune system hadn't recovered yet, and then he caught a cold, which led to the rapid onset of his illness."

Dr. Zhao paused here, then continued, "Ms. Shen, I think if possible, you should arrange for Mr. Ji to have a thorough physical examination at the hospital."

He could sense that my body was severely depleted, but given everything that had happened, he wasn't sure if he might be making a mistake, so he kindly suggested that Shen Zhixia take me to the hospital for a checkup.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhixia waved her hand and said, "He just had a physical examination a while ago. Apart from a problem with his stomach, there are no other major issues."

I closed my eyes, my fingers trembling slightly.

That's fine. If I don't have a detailed physical examination, Shen Zhixia won't find out that I really have stomach cancer.

Later, Dr. Zhao prescribed me some medicine. After he left, Shen Zhixia fed me the medicine, and I drifted off to sleep again.

This time I had a dream.

I dreamt that I went back to the time when I subtly reminded Shen Zhixia that Pei Jin was not a good person.

In my dream, she was wearing a white dress, and the sun was shining brightly.

I ran into Shen Zhixia by chance when I went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.

She smiled happily when she saw me, perhaps because I was Pei Jin's roommate.

"Ji Nanchen, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. Where's Pei Jin? Isn't he with you?"

I nodded and replied gently, "He's been quite busy lately, returning to his dorm very late at night. I don't know what he's been busy with."

"He's busy working part-time buying me gifts."

Shen Zhixia's face was full of sweet smiles as she pointed to the dazzling array of goods on the shelf next to her, "I'll buy him some snacks later, and I'll buy some for you guys too. Can you help me take them back?"

"it is good."

I agreed to her request with mixed feelings, but I was also a little anxious.

Before me, someone had told Shen Zhixia that Pei Jin was not a good person, but she didn't believe it. She was wholeheartedly in love with the boy she had her heart set on and never doubted him.

It was precisely because of this incident that, after I learned what kind of person Pei Jin was, I did not choose to directly approach her to explain the reason.

I'm afraid she'll misunderstand and think I'm spreading rumors, and I'm even more afraid she'll distance herself from me because of it, leaving me with no chance to protect her.

Later, in our dormitory, Pei Jin tried to trick Shen Zhixia into going to a bar many times, and I secretly sabotaged it all.

He wanted to sell Shen Zhixia, he wanted her to work at the club, he wanted her to fall for him.

I saved Shen Zhixia countless times, but she never knew it.

No, she might know, but she doesn't want to wake up.

She didn't want to realize that Pei Jin, who had once saved her, was such a wicked person.

If only I had been the one to save her back then.

Could we naturally end up together and spend the rest of our lives in an ordinary yet happy way, like most ordinary people?

"Shen Zhixia, why don't you believe me? Why?"

I murmured this question in my dream, and Shen Zhixia, who was sitting by my bed, happened to hear it.

She reached out and gently took my hand, sighing softly, "Ji Nanchen, should I believe you?"

To believe him is to deny your past self.

And she was right; Ji Nanchen was a suspect in Pei Jin's death.

Does she suspect he's not normal?

In my half-awake state, I saw her vaguely staring at me. I smiled brightly and said, "Shen Zhixia, let's get a divorce."

"I'll let you go, and you let me go too, okay?"

"not good."

Shen Zhixia decisively and coldly rejected my words, tightening her grip on my hand and moving closer to me, her tone once again icy.

"Ji Nanchen, I'll say it one last time: I will never divorce you, never!"

After she finished speaking, she frowned and stared at my dazed appearance for a long time before getting up to leave, but in the end she didn't.

Shen Zhixia stayed by my bedside for several hours.

She was waiting for my fever to break, but it didn't.

In the afternoon, Shen Zhixia dialed Dr. Zhao's number again, her tone cold.

"Zhao Qianqiu, why hasn't Ji Nanchen's fever subsided yet?"

"When did your medical skills deteriorate to this extent? I think you should go back to school and study properly!"

Zhao Qianqiu, who was on the other end of the phone, was completely bewildered when she heard this.

After a moment of stunned silence, he instantly realized something was wrong. His hand tightened around his phone, and he said anxiously, "Ms. Shen, if Mr. Ji's fever hasn't subsided, please take him to the hospital immediately. He really needs a checkup!"

“When I took his temperature, he already had a high fever of 39.2 degrees Celsius, so the medicine I prescribed was very strong. The fact that his fever has not subsided means that there is a serious problem with his immune system and he must be taken to the hospital for examination immediately.”

"it is good."

Shen Zhixia answered with a single word with a gloomy expression, then hung up the phone and ran straight to the next room to find Xu Jin.

She rushed to the door of Xu Jin's room, and without knocking, pushed the door open and went in.

"Xia Xia?"

Xu Jin turned to look at Shen Zhixia with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she looked so flustered.

He knew that Ji Nanchen had a fever.

He knew that Shen Zhixia had specially called the family doctor for Ji Nanchen. He originally wanted to stop her, but he was afraid that his secret hiding of a razor blade in the hem of his shirt would be discovered. After weighing the options, he chose to remain silent.

Shen Zhixia looked at him anxiously, "Xu Jin, Ji Nanchen has a persistent high fever. Zhao Qianqiu said he wants to take him to the hospital for a checkup. Can you help me?"

"it is good."

Xu Jin agreed without any hesitation.

He didn't want to save Ji Nanchen, but he couldn't appear as a bad person in front of Shen Zhixia; he had to continue pretending.

He needs Shen Zhixia, he needs her money and power.

Xu Jin followed Shen Zhixia to my room, helped me into the car, and then took me to the hospital that Xu Jin had previously bribed.

He helped me into the emergency room, looking anxiously at the emergency room doctor.

"Doctor, please take a look at my friend. He started having a fever last night, and we called a private doctor to see him as soon as we found out this morning."

"His private doctor prescribed him medication, which he has taken, but his high fever persists."

The doctor asked seriously, "Do you know what's causing the high fever?"
