Chapter 43 - She Is Suffering From Leukemia (2/2)

He looked at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth to speak, ”I wanted to apologize for my behavior.”

She paused her movements. She took off her shoes and folded her legs on the swing. Picking up the cushion from the side, she put it on her lap and propped her chin on both her palms, ”You must compensate me for the emotional distress and mental shock.”

He nodded without hesitation, ”Alright, what do you want?”

”For now, I want a rose from your garden and in the future, you will give me a stem of the plant. Okay?” She tilted her to the side to look at him.

His lips twitched slightly, ”You can ask for anything except that.”

Looking at his expression, she frowned, ”You are so stingy. I just asked for one rose and a stem in exchange for my forgiveness. What are you hesitating about? Where is your sincerity?” She scoffed before looking ahead.

”Alright,” He relented.

Her eyes sparkled and her lips tilted up at an angle where he could not see. Silly, did you think I will make do with one flower? I am going to pack up your whole garden for divorce alimony?

”Despite the compensation, I am still indignant. What did you pinch my cheeks for? Do you know it was red for one whole day? Moreover, we already discussed the thing regarding me pretending to be a bitch in front of your mother, didn't we? Why did you have to react like that?” When it came to that, she found it very unfair.

Just because you have strength, you will apply it to me? Humph!

After that incident, she decided to strengthen her body fast.

”You were pretending that time?” He looked at her questioning.

She glanced back at him, ”What do you think?”

In fact, rather than getting angry at him, she is more upset about their situation.

Who would not doubt her real intentions? The previous owner was a scheming person and she was often rude to others so it didn't come off as a surprise when he took her act for real.

He sighed, ”She is suffering from Leukemia for two years.”

She stilled for a moment before looking at him. It took her a few moments to realize that he was talking about his mother.

She didn't interrupt him as the man continued, ”Back then, she refused to cooperate with the treatment process and chemotherapy which resulted in our marriage.”

So, this was the reason why an outstanding man like him was married to a girl like Yu Mei Zhen who was a nobody…she thought to herself.

”How is her condition right now?” She asked him.

Looking at her cool mother-in-law, she never once thought that something was wrong with her.

”Her condition is improving but she is on her medications. The doctors suggested her to live in a good environment and not pressurize herself with anything. At this time, agitation and all won't do good for her recovery…”

Although his expressions remained indifferent, but she could feel the dejection around him.

”I hope she will be better soon,” She patted his shoulder, not knowing what else to say at a time like this.
