Chapter 20 Final Farewell
It turned out that Zhou Linchen had cancer.
After I got married, his life became very irregular.
He often smoked, drank, and stayed up late, excessively draining his health.
By the time it was discovered, it was already late stage.
Zhou Linchen was negative about treatment.
The cancer cells spread too fast.
In just five months, he became emaciated, unable to even get out of bed.
Today, the doctor issued a critical condition notice.
Before his death, he wanted to see me one last time. That's when the butler dared to call me.
I was silent for a moment.
Then I agreed.
In front of the hospital bed, the once tall and handsome man was now just skin and bones, completely unrecognizable from before.
In his frail body, he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.
He could only stare at me obsessively.
"Li Xia... I'm sorry... If there's a next life... " he said he would cherish me properly.
Next life?
But I was a firm materialist.
If there really was a next life.
I hoped I never met him.
That way, no one would hurt anyone.
But I still accepted his apology.
To let Zhou Linchen go in peace.
After the Zhou family finished the funeral, Gu Xiaoyan entered the company.
Zhou's father also returned to the company, starting to teach her bit by bit.
In the future, she would be the Zhou family heir.
On my birthday.
I leaned in Xu Yanbai's arms, looking at the azure sea outside the window.
I sighed.
"It's great. All the mistakes have finally returned to the right track."
Xu Yanbai chuckled lightly, kissing my forehead.
Sunlight sprinkled on his face, outlining gentle contours.
He treasured me.
I had no more demands.
I just wished for peaceful years and family safety.
