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

"If you take your medicine properly, would I force-feed you pills?!"

After yelling angrily at me in frustration, Shen Zhixia turned and left the guest room.

Why did she make him take the medicine? Doesn't he have any idea why?

If his immune system hadn't been so weak, would he have almost died from a fever?

With a sullen face, she quickly returned to the master bedroom, took off her clothes as fast as she could, threw them into the trash can, then turned around, took a clean set of clothes from the closet, and went into the bathroom.

Ji Nanchen's vomit was sour and smelly, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

Meanwhile, I lay in my guest room, enjoying this rare moment of peace and quiet.

Shen Zhixia is so stupid. Is Xu Jin such a kind person? She even went to the doctor to prescribe medicine to boost my immunity. It's utterly ridiculous.

I laughed mockingly and reached out to knock the rest of the medicine that Shen Zhixia had forgotten to put in my mouth onto the ground.

You bastard, don't even think about hurting me!

After I vented my frustration, I lay exhausted on the hospital bed.

If I had known yesterday that the fever would almost kill me, would I still have done it?

At this moment, when I think about this question again, I suddenly feel a little uncertain about my choice.

But it doesn't matter anymore, I've already made it through.

The moment I closed my eyes, the words I heard Shen Zhixia say during my hazy state involuntarily surfaced in my mind—

"I cried that day because my only brother died."

"My brother faked being kidnapped to save me, and then the kidnappers used both of our lives to demand ransom from our family."

“My brother told them that the Shen family favored sons over daughters, and that kidnapping a girl was useless; he would only be a burden if he took me with him. So the kidnappers released me, but he was beaten to death in the fight between the police and the kidnappers.”

"When I rushed over that day, I only saw my brother for the last time. He said, 'Xiaxia, don't cry. You are the most beautiful girl. I hope you can have the best things in your life.'"

The last thing Shen Zhixia's brother said to him was somewhat similar to what I said to Shen Zhixia.

When I saw her crying, I said, "Shen Zhixia, don't cry. You deserve all the good things in this world."

After I finished speaking, Shen Zhixia looked at me with a surprised expression. At the time, I didn't understand why she looked at me with such surprise. I thought she had recognized me.

The truth is cruel.

I lay in bed, my mind a jumble of thoughts, pondering many things. Finally, exhausted, I drifted off to sleep.

Not long after, my room door was pushed open with a "click".

I heard a noise, and I wanted to open my eyes to see, but I didn't have the strength.

I'm really tired.

The person sat down on the edge of my bed, reached out and touched my forehead, then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, the fever has subsided."

It was Shen Zhixia's voice.

But didn't she leave in anger? Why is she back?

Shen Zhixia noticed my eyelids twitch, pursed her lips, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Ji Nanchen, you threw up your dinner tonight. Are you hungry now?"

Although she was furious, Ji Nanchen was right. If she hadn't forced him to take the pills, he might not have vomited.

After she finished showering, she remembered that Ji Nanchen looked terrible. After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't help but come to see him.

I was startled and suddenly opened my eyes, my gaze filled with fear as I looked at her.

"You... why are you here?"

Shen Zhixia understood my fear and frowned unhappily. "What do you mean? Are you afraid I'll eat you up?"

"No."

I said no, but my body betrayed me by moving to the side, trying to keep my distance from Shen Zhixia.

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhixia's brows furrowed even more tightly.

She took a deep breath, trying hard to control her temper. "Ji Nanchen, are you hungry? Would you like something else to eat?"

The doctor said his previous stomach problems hadn't healed yet, and he had just vomited up all of his dinner. Now his stomach is empty, which shouldn't be good for his recovery.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia couldn't help but make a suggestion.

"There's some leftover millet porridge in the fridge downstairs. Shall I heat it up for you?"

"Need not."

I coldly rejected Shen Zhixia's concern and turned my head away, not wanting to talk to her anymore.

Shen Zhixia frowned even more, and she couldn't help but want to scold Ji Nanchen for being shameless, but when her gaze fell on his pale and bloodless face, she forced herself to hold back.

After a long standoff, just when I thought Shen Zhixia was definitely angry and was about to leave, she spoke.

“Ji Nanchen, it was my fault just now. I shouldn’t have forced you to take the pills if you didn’t want to. If it weren’t for me, you probably wouldn’t have thrown up your dinner.”

I stared in astonishment.

Is Shen Zhixia apologizing to me?

Thinking this to myself, I couldn't help but say it out loud, "Shen Zhixia, are you apologizing to me?"

Shen Zhixia's face turned pale and red after my question, but after a long while, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"The doctor said your immune system is very weak right now, and you can easily get sick. If you catch a serious illness, it could kill you at any time, so I want you to take your medicine properly."

I turned my face away, trying my best not to be affected by Shen Zhixia's words.

"I'm fine now, I just need a good night's sleep."

This time, Shen Zhixia surprisingly didn't argue with me. Instead, she said, "You just vomited all over the floor, and the room smells terrible now. Let me help you to another room to sleep."

"it is good."

This time, I quietly agreed and didn't refuse Shen Zhixia again.

The vomit smelled sour and foul, and I felt quite uncomfortable staying in the room smelling it.

Just as Shen Zhixia was about to reach out to help me, she suddenly noticed that my clothes were also stained with some vomit. She asked gently, "There's some vomit on your clothes too. Do you want to wash them?"

"You can go out. I can wash myself."

I'm not as obsessive-compulsive as Shen Zhixia, but I'm still a clean person.

Now that Shen Zhixia has said it, I feel uncomfortable if I don't change my clothes.

Shen Zhixia went into the bathroom and wrung out a towel for me, then took a new set of pajamas and put it on my bed. "I'll help you."

"No, I can do it myself."

I took the towel Shen Zhixia handed me, and my voice became a little hoarse when I spoke again, "Turn around."

Shen Zhixia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her gaze towards me became somewhat meaningful.

"Are you shy?"
