My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1108: She Has the Most Backbone
Third Young Master Jun’s panic finally subsided as he firmly held Ye Lu, who had fainted in his arms, his heart aching like a knife’s cut.
The last person he wanted to hurt was her, yet he still did it.
Yan Su sighed, "I see she’s not the kind who can’t share hardships. The fact she’s done this much shows she loves you deeply, Third Young Master. Why refuse her companionship? Even if something unforeseen happens in the future, you both would have had the most wonderful time together. You won’t have regrets, nor will she."
As a doctor familiar with life and death, he tended to live in the present and thought that was most important.
"This is a fallacy. For me, it may be a wonderful time because if I die, I’ll never have to remember it. But for her, it would be a lifetime of painful memories. Do you really think this kind of companionship is happiness for her?"
Third Young Master Jun bowed his head, gently touching Ye Lu’s tear-moistened face with a tissue and tenderly wiping it dry.
"Full of hope that being with me would mean eternal happiness, she’d soon find herself helplessly watching me bleed from my teeth, nostrils, and eyes, slowly going blind. The deeper her love, the greater her despair, and yet utterly powerless. All she can do is watch my life slowly fade away in fear, pain, and torment. Yan Su, do you truly think that would be a wonderful time?"
He paused, his expression unemotionally heavy.
"You’re a doctor; you’ve seen plenty of gravely ill people. Are their relatives really happy? They live every day in fear, scared that their loved one might suddenly pass. The living endure more profound pain."
Yan Su, momentarily lost for words, knew Third Young Master was right.
He’d seen too many families pretend to laugh and joke around their ill, only to step outside the room and secretly wipe away tears; it was heart-wrenching.
"But if you really die, she will eventually find out."
"Learning about it, she would suffer briefly and recuperate better than living through prolonged despair. Plus, our four children will be there; she will surely survive steadfastly."
On one hand, he didn’t want her to stay by his side, facing despair; on the other, he feared her overwhelming grief, which could result in a miscarriage—a scenario he found utterly unbearable. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"She’s so heartbroken now; she can’t accept it," sighed Yan Su.
Third Young Master Jun lowered his eyes, "Don’t worry. She’s stronger than you think. She’s faced this kind of situation before and made it through. She’s a woman of great spirit and independence. I’m leaving her again, but this time she definitely won’t look back!"
...
When Ye Lu woke up, she was on a hospital bed with Ling Kong by her side.
Her pale little face appeared ghostly, still with damp traces of tears at the corners of her eyes, yet numb, expressionless, and without a hint of grief.
Ling Kong found it painful to watch; this must be what heart-dead means.
He had wanted Ye Yuan and Ye Yi to accompany her, but feared it might cause more trouble.
It was better if she left the place of sorrow soon.
"I’ll take you back to our country. The plane is ready, and we can take off in two hours. For the sake of your child, you need to take care of yourself too," Third Young Master Jun had also asked him to take Ye Lu back home.
Ye Lu was startled, lowly caressing her belly and closing her eyes.
She said nothing, just stood up woodenly, and went into the restroom to briskly wash up.
...
He must have left by now.
Third Young Master Jun looked out the window as night gradually fell, his eyes dim.
Feiyu just reported seeing Ye Lu and Ling Kong leaving the hospital, getting into a car, and driving away.
