Chapter 53 - Ill Take This Money (1/2)

Pei Tianlin did not even look at the card and asked directly, “So, you’re saying that I can’t even support my woman?”

He was curious. The Su family was reputable, after all. He did not know where they had heard the news that his family was in a bad state, which made them anxious to cancel their daughter’s engagement with him. Regardless, it had saved him a lot of trouble.

But even Su Yu thought that he was poor?

Was it because this small villa they were living in was not luxurious enough, or was it because of other reasons?

Was he too low-profile?

Su Yu did not look up at Pei Tianlin. She raised the card with her small hand and said softly, “Although it’s not much, it should be able to handle the urgent situation.” She was really grateful for Pei Tianlin’s help. Otherwise, she would really have had no way out and would have felt like she had nothing to live for after getting betrayed by her family.

Although they were contractual husband and wife, since the two of them had already registered their marriage, she hoped to at least abide by the contract till the end.

“As you know, I only have three years. When I die, the money will fall into the hands of some disgusting people. I might as well give it to you.”

At the thought that she only had three years left, Su Yu could not help but feel sad.

She had always remembered the doctor’s words and was already mentally prepared. However, knowing that she was in the critical fourth stage was really uncomfortable. It was as if she was walking to death every day.

One of the greatest pains in one’s life was knowing that one was walking toward death but being unable to stop it.

Pei Tianlin was actually more concerned about her health than Su Yu. He could almost recite Gu Yunsheng’s medical advice.

If it were not for Lin Tianhao and Su Ning deliberately hiding the truth, perhaps Su Yu’s health would not have ended up in such a bad state.

Hence, no matter how tempted he was, he did not dare to let his emotions loose.

However, sometimes, emotions could overpower one’s rationale.

Even though he kept reminding himself, he would fail to control himself at times.

This was the dilemma Pei Tianlin was facing.

Pei Tianlin reached out to ruffle Su Yu’s hair, then hugged her in his arms again and patted her back.

Although Su Yu did not say it directly, he knew everything that he needed to know and understood her thoughts.

Su Yu felt Pei Tianlin’s comfort. She understood that this was not love. This was perhaps just the pity the strong had for the weak.
