Chapter 88: I’ll Go with Her

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: I’ll Go with Her

Tang Yuwei seemed to have cried already, spotting Bian Yue, she knelt down without a word.

With a thud, her knees hit the ground.

Faced with this display, Bian Yue inevitably startled, got up in a fluster with a look of shock on her face, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Bian Yue, your aunt knows you are upset, but I am begging you, for the sake of all the years the Li Family has taken good care of you, please help Shiheng."

By this point, Tang Yuwei was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Behind her, Li Tingmo and Zhuang Jie Ning had complex expressions. Zhuang Jie Ning helped Tang Yuwei up, calming her, "Auntie, whatever you want to say, please talk to Bian Yue properly, don’t kneel."

Bian Yue’s frown deepened even more, behind her, the light in the operation room was still blinking with conspicuous red light.

"How do you expect me to stay calm! Jie Ning, Shiheng is still in the operating room, his life hanging by a thread!"

Shen Jinci had been listening by the side, seeing Tang Yuwei’s tone of utter despair, he guessed the answer.

He supported the shell-shocked Bian Yue, whispering softly, "This matter needs to be thought over carefully now, Ms. Tang, your attitude might frighten my wife, please calm down first."

"Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen, I know you really care about Bian Yue, but now..." Tang Yuwei wept, "Shiheng really needs Bian Yue by his side, he can’t hold on much longer..."

Bian Yue was still processing Tang Yuwei’s words, and upon hearing this, finally found her voice, and asked, "What happened to Li Shiheng?"

Tang Yuwei opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but as the words reached her lips, her eyes reddened, and tears poured down like rain.

Seeing this, Li Tingmo signaled Zhuang Jie Ning to take Tang Yuwei to rest.

Lost in despair, Tang Yuwei left, tears streaming down all the while.

Only three people remained at the scene. After a moment of silence, Li Tingmo slowly said, "Mr. Shen, now that you and Bian Yue are married, I consider you one of our own, so I will speak frankly."

Shen Jinci held Bian Yue more firmly, his posture soothing.

Li Tingmo’s expression was solemn as he continued, "Mr. Shen, you must remember my father, right?"

"I remember."

"The Li Family has a hereditary genetic disease. Once it strikes, the person does not survive more than five years. When my father fell ill, Shiheng was only 10 years old, and he didn’t make it past Shiheng’s 15th birthday before passing away."

By this point, Li Tingmo’s eyes were slightly red, finally showing genuine emotion, his voice filled with reluctance, "Now, Shiheng has contracted the disease."

Bian Yue’s pupils dilated, the warmth in her palms fading in an instant, leaving only cold.

Her voice trembling, she hoarsely asked, "So many years have passed, is it... is it still incurable?"

"Yes, current medical technology cannot fix the chromosomal arrangement and missing defects," Li Tingmo’s voice grew even more pained as he said, "Bian Yue, Shiheng has been sick for nearly two years now."

Bian Yue nearly lost her balance.

Fortunately, Shen Jinci was behind her to support her, preventing an awkward fall.

In that moment, Bian Yue’s mind went blank. She really hated Li Shiheng, genuinely hated him. Her heartfelt love exchanged for betrayal nearly cost her the ability to love again.

But even so, she never wished him dead.

"Bian Yue, I know there are misunderstandings between you and Shiheng, and I know you blame him for being cold-hearted... but he knew about his illness; he didn’t want to hold you back..." Li Tingmo’s voice was hoarse, his tone growing heavier, "Could you... possibly talk to him properly, at least, come visit him often."

Bian Yue hardly absorbed the words Li Tingmo said thereafter.

She gasped for air, her mind empty, several deep breaths all in vain.

After the torment of the past year, in the end, it was he who wanted to set her free?

Bian Yue really couldn’t understand, how could one person make the decision for the two of them?

And those betrayals also truly existed; he really betrayed her in order to push her away.

Bian Yue’s emotions were myriad, too complex to describe.

Shen Jinci watched Bian Yue’s dazed expression, his hand unconsciously tightened on her shoulder, but soon he regained his composure, waiting quietly for Bian Yue’s response.

The few months between them could not compare to the seven years Bian Yue had with Li Sihe.

Apart from love, there were many other emotions entangling them, difficult to sever.

So, no matter what decision Bian Yue made, he would respect it.

Bian Yue didn’t speak, lost in memories.

She remembered, during the first two years after she came to the Li Family, her health was not good.

She was too frightened, leaving after-effects, so that any slight disturbance would make her seriously ill.

Li Sihe had many times stayed by her bedside, enduring countless difficult days and nights.

The love back then was real; he truly suffered from sleeplessness late into the night because of her.

Many things cannot be eradicated just because of their later separation; Bian Yue truly... truly appreciated him.

But Shen Jinci loved her.

Her eyes moistened, Bian Yue lowered her gaze to hide it, having already made her decision, she said to Li Tingmo with a calm voice: "I’m married now, I must avoid suspicions, besides, seeing me won’t heal his sickness."

Li Tingmo was stunned by Bian Yue’s ruthlessness, he hadn’t expected her to entirely disregard their past affection.

Shen Jinci’s eyes were hidden in darkness, his thoughts inscrutable.

The red surgery room lights painfully stung Li Tingmo’s heart; he was actually regretful now.

If he had known earlier that Li Sihe’s condition was so severe, he wouldn’t have forcefully tried to separate Bian Yue from Li Sihe, at the very least, he would have left some room for maneuver.

Now, thinking that Li Sihe’s life might be in danger, the slight innate parental affection Li Tingmo felt was fully awakened.

Li Tingmo said: "Bian Yue, regarding the inheritance, I will give it to you rightly, I just want you to consider the care Sihe has given you over the years and the helping hand our Li Family once offered, at least... stay with Sihe during this time..."

Bian Yue frowned, about to say something, when Shen Jinci spoke up, his voice muted and calm: "Bian Yue will come, I’ll accompany her."

He was such an indifferent person, yet now his whole presence was oppressive— he was restraining his emotions, choosing calmly for Bian Yue with his words.

He knew she was caught between a rock and a hard place, so he didn’t make her choose.

Bian Yue looked up at him, in the hospital corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant, she looked at him, tears gradually welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling: "This isn’t fair to you."

It was clearly an accommodation.

"Yueyue, there’s no fairness in this world," Shen Jinci watched the tears in Bian Yue’s eyes, his heart tightening, he gently raised his hand to stroke her sour eyes, his expression complex, he murmured softly, "It’s okay, Yueyue... It’s okay."

Li Tingmo was still present, but Bian Yue could no longer restrain her emotions, she threw herself into Shen Jinci’s arms, nearly losing control, "This isn’t fair to me either... he planned everything, but from start to finish, he never gave me the right to choose!"
