“Don’t cry.” Yan Yuanfei hugged her gently. After being unconscious for a long time, his voice was extremely hoarse. “What do you think you’ll do if I’m gone one day?”

What was he supposed to do? What on earth was he supposed to do to minimize the damage to her so that she could live on in good health?

He should never have provoked her in the first place.

He should never have been so opinionated in the first place.

But he didn’t regret it. He was so selfish. Even if he had to turn back time, even if he had to choose again, he wouldn’t hesitate to be with her.

However, his heart ached. His heart ached for her, who did not have peace every day.

“I’ll live well,” Wen said, taking his hand and feeling the ache of his bones against his heart.

He was too thin.

Over the past six months, he had lost weight.

He was also in too much pain.

Every time it happened, it was excruciating.

Sometimes, she wanted to ask him to hang on for her. To live was the biggest kidnapping of all.

She was a doctor. How could she be so cruel as to watch the quality of her patient’s life plummet? He might as well be free to choose. She should let go and let him choose whether to live or end.

But what to do?

She couldn’t accept him leaving her.

“Yes.” Yan Yuanfei had already used all his strength after saying a few words. The pain crushed every bone and every cell in his body.

“Hubby.” Wen Ruoshui’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him seriously. “It hurts, doesn’t it? I’ve thought it through. I won’t stop you anymore. Do whatever you want. I respect your choice.”

“Idiot.” Yan Yuanfei sighed softly.

She agreed but Granny, Mother and his gang of brothers would not agree!

The descendants of the Yan family could die grandly or be tortured to death by illness, but they would not be allowed to euthanize themselves and choose to die cowardly.

What kind of torture had this silly girl gone through? How much had she given up to say this to him in such despair?

“If you’re gone, I’ll find a good man to marry. I’ll have a son and a daughter and live happily ever after.” Wen Ruoshui’s voice was low and gentle. “I don’t want to meet you again in my next life or the next.”

“Okay,” Yan Yuanfei replied softly. “If there’s a next life, I’ll be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. In the next life, I must meet you and marry you. I’ll have a son and a daughter. It’ll be called happiness and peace.”

Wen Ruoshui tried not to cry, but her tears were like faucets. They flowed more and more, choking her.

She wanted to say that she didn’t want a next life and that it was something insubstantial. She didn’t believe it. She wanted to grow old with him and have a son and a daughter with him.

However, all of this happiness that was ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people was a huge hope for them.

The Yan family had served the country and the people for generations, but they ended up like this. The heavens were too cruel and unfair!

“Is there anything to eat?” Yan Yuanfei raised his hand with difficulty to wipe her tears and teased her. “Honey, look at me. I’m so hungry that I don’t have the strength.”

Wen Ruoshui smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded. “I’ll get you something to eat.”

This man! No matter how much it hurt or tired or bitter, the man she loved so much refused to see her sad.
