Severe enough to cause bleeding from the teeth, nose, and even the eyes, she was going mad, what kind of disease was it? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Moreover, from the initial bleeding gums to now bleeding from the eyes, it had been over two months. He must have known from the start and secretly started treatments, yet the symptoms were clearly worsening step by step and not improving, which further highlighted the frightening nature of the disease.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was going insane.

Seeing Ye Lu crying so painfully, Third Young Master Jun was, for a moment, at a loss for words. His eyes deepened as he looked at her with heartache. Any further lies would be worth nothing; she wouldn’t believe them as she had already noticed his symptoms. He could no longer hide.

In fact, he never intended to keep it hidden from her until the end, but he didn’t know how to break it to her. Seeing her so happy, so firmly believing that they would always be together, as one happy family, he found it even harder to cruelly shatter her dreams and drive her into despair.

He had no choice but to delay, prolonging it as long as possible.

Especially on this path of fleeing, any feelings of unrest and painful anxiety would affect their chance of success.

Thus, as the disease worsened these past few days, he would rather coldly avoid contact with her, not wanting her to notice anything amiss, hoping everything would hold up until they could escape. Still, the vigilant and careful Ye Lu had sensed it.

He found fate to be ironic. His desperate efforts seemed so petty and powerless, always unable to make her a bit happier, even for one more day.

"Ye Lu, I’m sorry." He sighed, his smile bitter.

Ye Lu, tears streaming, shook her head: "I don’t want apologies, because apologies always signify bad things."

"Heh... your premonitions are always so accurate."

Third Young Master Jun reached out to wipe her tears, her warm, scalding tears falling onto his fingertips, making his heart twinge and tremble in pain.

She always shed tears for him, so many tears.

Ye Lu frantically grabbed his hand, pressing it against her tear-stained cheek, her face full of pain but her voice firm and her eyes determined.

"Tell me the truth. I know you are gravely ill, no matter what the illness...I, I can accept it."

"Ye Lu..." He could feel her trembling, knowing how filled with fear she was at that moment.

"I am your wife, you can’t hide this from me, we are one. Whatever you are going through, whatever illness you have, we should face it together."

Instead of letting him suffer silently alone, keeping it from her to keep her happy, to keep her from worrying.

This way, even if she were happy, knowing the truth would only bring more pain.

Because while he was suffering and in pain, her blissful ignorance seemed mad, and recalling it would only make her feel more guilt-ridden and heartbroken.

"Tell me, I don’t want to be a blissfully ignorant fool, to be the last one to know the truth! That would be the cruelest thing for me, you can’t do that."

She sobbed, lowering her head.

"Alright." Third Young Master Jun gave a helpless wry smile, now that things had come to this, he could no longer conceal the truth. He decided to address it calmly and rationally, "But I also hope you can accept everything calmly."

Ye Lu’s heart tightened, and she nodded.

"I was once accidentally injured and got infected with a type of bacterium. This bacterium is a first in the medical field, so there is no specific treatment. Once triggered, it causes high fever."

Third Young Master Jun’s voice was calm, revealing his illness to her in a gentle manner that wouldn’t upset her.
