Shawn was smart and good at reading others. When I asked that question, his eyes darkened. Then,he questioned me in a low voice, "Did somebody say something to you earlier?" Shawn was smart and good at reading others. When I asked that question, his eyes darkened. Then,he questioned me in a low voice, "Did somebody say something to you earlier?"
I shook my head and denied it, "I was just curious."
After he heard my answer, he pointed out firmly, "You tend to shake your head every time you lie. Notto mention, your eyes are avoiding me completely. Ray, no matter what nonsensical rumors you hear,you have to believe in one thing. I will never leave you for any reason, and I will never let go of yourhand because of the obstacles in my path."
Why is he saying that all of a sudden…
I stubbornly repeated my question, "When did you first learn about me?"
If it was in the past, I would have buried those words at the bottom of my heart and silently torturedmyself by imagining various nonsensical scenarios in my head after hearing what Eliza said. However,when it came to Shawn, I needed to clarify things.
He knew that I wanted an answer. Therefore, he pondered for a moment before he answered seriously,"I heard of your name in the past, but I never paid much attention to your existence. I also didn't knowwhat you looked like. The first time I actually took notice of you was when you met me for the first time.It was not until later that I realized you were the president of the Felix Family and the ex-wife of
Nicholas Forger. Although I could have learned about your identity earlier, I was not interested inlearning more about you. I believed you when you claimed that you were Myra Felix because I didn'tcare much about whether it was true."
He claimed that we met for the first time at the homestay. In that case, I believed him.
As long as the words came out of his mouth, I would believe in everything that he said.
Besides, his behavior at the time hadn't been out of place. He even thought that I was short of moneyand asked if I needed help. Of course, if he had known about my identity at the time, he would not haveasked me such an idiotic question.
So, no dishonesty or other factors influenced our meeting.
He had allowed me to approach him simply because I was Myra Felix.
It was not because of his misunderstanding regarding the kidney…
I asked softly, "Why did you allow me to approach you back then?"
Why did he abruptly announce that he would be my brother and protect me for the rest of my life?
There were so many other women in the world. Why me?
Shawn replied indifferently, "You kissed me."
I asked in confusion, "Huh?"
"After you fell into the river, you couldn't regulate your breathing. When I approached you… You kissedme at the time, Ray. I have always acted alone throughout my entire life, but I am stubborn down to myvery bones. To put it bluntly, I am conservative and old-fashioned! When you kissed me that day… Thatwas my first kiss. The situation was so unexpected that I couldn't stop you in time. Things had alreadyprogressed to that point, and there was nothing I could do. Perhaps, you left a mark on my heart at thattime, so…"
He suddenly looked sideways at me and continued resolutely, "So, no matter what mistakes you mightmake or what misconduct you might cause in the future, I will always accept and indulge you. Iregarded you as a child who needed time to grow up."
I stared blankly at the man's side profile in front of me. When I reflected on our interactions, he hadindeed been very indulgent toward me. Yet, no matter what happened, he always acted from abystander's perspective and never punished or reprimanded me.
Moreover, he was always the first to come forward and protect me whenever I was in trouble!
He was like a mature and down-to-earth adult who silently watched over his child from the shadows. Inthis case, I was the child in question.
He always spoiled and pampered me as though I were a child.
So what if the things Eliza claimed turned out to be true? So what if he really wanted to kill me?
Even if I were to die at his hands one day, I would willingly die for him.
"Thank you, Shawn."
Thank you for appearing in my life at the right time.
…
Shawn and I kept vigil together that night. Unfortunately, I eventually became too exhausted and wasforced to retire to my room. After I returned to my room, I felt a faint metallic taste in my throat butthought nothing of it. It was just that my entire body felt weak, and I quickly fell asleep after laying downon the bed. Not long afterward, I heard somebody calling my name beside me.
I reluctantly opened my eyes to see Shawn.
Shawn noticed that I wasn't faring well, so he asked gently, "Are you still sleepy?"
I got up and burrowed myself in his arms. "Is the funeral about to start?"
"Yes. You need to get up and get changed."
It was with extreme reluctance that I got out of bed to change my clothes. Then, I dragged my wearybody out the door to accompany Shawn as he saw his mother off for the last time. When they closedthe coffin, I noticed his reddened eyes were completely bloodshot.
The funeral ended at 9.00AM. We drove back to Eldham without further delay instead of returning tothe Xenos' villa. On the way back, my lower abdomen kept hurting. The metallic taste in my throat also
grew stronger.
We finally arrived back at the apartment at 2.00PM. Shawn drank a glass of milk, took a shower, andwent into the bedroom to catch up on some sleep. On the other hand, I took the chance while he wasasleep to drive myself to the hospital for a physical examination.
I went to Xenos Hospital. The hospital director immediately hurried over as soon as he received thenews and took me in for a physical examination. Unfortunately, the results from the CT scan were notvery satisfactory. The doctor's diagnosis indicated that there might be a recurrence of my cancer.
I asked in astonishment, "Wasn't I completely cured? How could I have a relapse?"
"Miss, I reviewed your previous medical records earlier. You were suffering from an advanced-stageendometrial carcinoma. The term 'advanced-stage'… generally means that any treatment would noteasily cure the disease. Nobody in the medical field can guarantee that there will be no chance ofrecurrence in the future. Combined with your difficult labor four months ago… Although you receivedtimely treatment, it damaged your body in the process. Your body has already begun to showsymptoms of recurrence. I suggest that you continue taking anti-cancer drugs."
Are the early symptoms of relapse indicating that I may die from my disease at any time? I've alreadyrepeatedly escaped the clutches of death. Will luck side with me again this time? Will I be lucky enoughfor the god of death to favor me again after so many times?
I reached out and covered my reddened eyes with my hands. "How effective are the anti-cancerdrugs?"
"Miss, the anti-cancer drug you took before was produced by the Xenos Family. The curative effect is
the most advanced in the world and can stabilize your current condition. So, it shouldn't be a problemas long as you keep taking the drug, but I can't give you any guarantees."
My heart sank at the doctor's prognosis. I exhaled deeply and finally agreed. "Please prescribe themedicine to me for now."
The doctor also prescribed painkillers, along with a glass of water. After I took the painkillers, the painin my lower abdomen gradually disappeared. Regardless, he also advised me to avoid intercourse andmaintain the frequency of around twice a month at most.
Naturally, I could not participate in any vigorous or drastic activity.
Shawn is a hot-blooded man. How could he be gentle in that aspect? Not unless I deliberatelymentioned something to him… But his vigilant nature will definitely alert him to the problem at once. Idon't want him to worry about me after learning about my body's condition. Forget it. I'll figure out asolution when the time comes.
After I had bought the medicine, I drove back to the apartment. Then, I sat in the living room and toreoff all the bottles' labels before placing them in my satchel. Shawn would never rummage through mythings, so the most dangerous place would also be the safest place.
I later sat in the living room and stared into space, wondering why my love life was filled with so manyhardships. There was never a time when my love life went smoothly, especially now that I was facedwith Eliza and my body's condition…
From now onward, I will avoid talking to him about our marriage. He has already lost a mother due toour engagement. If we were to get married… Eliza was right about that. He will carry that guilt with him
forever, and I never want to see him like that.
When I closed my eyes, my heart felt like an anchor pressing against my diaphragm. I felt somewhatsuffocated by an undeniable pain throbbing in my heart.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself staring into a pair of searching, dark eyes.
The owner of the eyes asked, "Why are you crying?"
