She felt guilty towards Qin Chen, and she never expected that Qin Chen would be willing to stay with her all along.
"Don’t say such silly things. I’m more than happy to have t you," Qin Chen said, "I think Wen Zhiyuan feels the sa way."
What he ant was that she was worthy of love and deserved kindness from everyone.
But fate was too unfair to her, too unfair.
Shen Di smiled, "Mr. Qin, you really know how to comfort soone. I’ve delayed your life plans, and I’m quite sorry for that."
"I won’t find anyone better than you, so I’d rather stay by your side." Qin Chen had no regrets at all.
Rather than spending a lifeti with soone he didn’t love, he’d rather be with the one he loved, even if that person didn’t have him in her heart, he had no complaints or regrets.
Shen Di didn’t say much, gripping Qin Chen’s clothes with both hands, silently watching the sunlight outside the window.
Living in the hospital was quite dull, but fortunately, Qin Chen and the butler accompanied her.
As for Wen Zhiyuan, he had already beco a part of her heart.
After the butler ca out, he said what needed to be said to Wen Zhiyuan, and she saw the disappointnt in Wen Zhiyuan’s eyes.
"Is it not even possible for to see her once?" Wen Zhiyuan’s brows furrowed deeply.
"Dr. Wen, please go back." The butler’s attitude was firm.
"Fine, I’ll go back." Wen Zhiyuan did not argue much.
With that, Wen Zhiyuan left. He knew that forcing it would only further strain their relationship.
The butler watched him walk away and only sighed once he turned back to the ward.
Wen Zhiyuan always felt sothing was off. The relationship between him and Shen Di should not have deteriorated to such an extent, especially after eight years; any animosity should have faded.
It was just a eting, so why wouldn’t she agree?
Wen Zhiyuan naturally wasn’t going back ho; he had to see Shen Di.
He chose a hotel to stay in and only told his closest friend.
"Alin, help investigate sothing," Wen Zhiyuan called his friend.
"Zhiyuan, it’s not like back ho here. What do you want to investigate? I’ll do my best."
"×× Hospital, there’s a patient nad Shen Di. I need her dical records."
"Shen Di? Isn’t she your ex-girlfriend?"
"Yes, it’s her."
"Did you co to lbourne this ti just for her? Isn’t she engaged? Why are you still ddling in this?"
"Just help with the investigation, and don’t ask anything else," Wen Zhiyuan said.
"Alright, though it’s a bit difficult. Doctors here are quite tight-lipped, but I’ll try my best."
"Okay, I’ll be staying here for this period. I’m waiting for your news."
He knew it would be difficult to investigate, so he wasn’t in a rush.
He ended up staying for a week, and both Shen Di and the butler thought Wen Zhiyuan had gone back ho.
Every morning, when the sunlight shone on the bed, Shen Di habitually scrolled through her phone’s photo album.
She still kept the photos from eight years ago, one by one, sustaining her through eight years of ti.
She still liked the current Wen Zhiyuan. Seeing that he was doing well, she was content.
After Qin Chen finished his work, he would stay by Shen Di’s side, sotis telling her interesting things.
Wen Zhiyuan had been staying at the hotel for a week; it was only after a week that Alin called him.
"Zhiyuan, I’ve roughly investigated. Do you want to et and talk?"
"Where are you?"
"At the café opposite your hotel, co over."
"Alright, I’m coming down."
Alin’s tone was calm, but Wen Zhiyuan’s heart was in his throat; he didn’t know why, but there was always a bad feeling.
The last ti he went to the hospital, he had that feeling.
In the café, Alin was already waiting. He sat down across from him.
"Alin, tell the truth," was the first thing Wen Zhiyuan said when he sat down.
He always felt that everyone was hiding sothing from Shen Di.
"Zhiyuan, you know Miss Shen’s condition better than anyone. What I found out is that over the years, her condition has worsened and can only be maintained with dication."
"And what else?" Wen Zhiyuan asked nervously.
"Five years ago, she started being hospitalized off and on," Alin said. "In the past two years, the condition has worsened, and she can only stay in the hospital."
Wen Zhiyuan’s heart tightened; when she was seriously ill, he had no way to be by her side.
"You and I are both doctors. I found part of her dical record; you can take a look." Alin didn’t say much more and turned on his phone.
Wen Zhiyuan took his phone and flipped through Shen Di’s dical records page by page.
The more he read, the more panicked he beca.
From the initial dication details to the recent ones, the dosage was increasing; her condition had reached an irreparable state.
Alin had already looked at these dical records in advance, and he thought that Miss Shen probably wouldn’t survive another six months.
When Wen Zhiyuan reached the last page, he was stunned too, his pupils dilated, and his facial lines tensed.
Similarly, he ca to the conclusion that terrified him.
No, his Adi can’t leave him!
"Zhiyuan!" Alin called out, seeing Wen Zhiyuan’s face turn shockingly pale.
Alin called out a few tis before Wen Zhiyuan ca to his senses.
"Zhiyuan, don’t overthink it," Alin tried to comfort him, but all his words felt particularly insubstantial.
"Alin, help one more ti," Wen Zhiyuan looked at him.
"Go ahead."
"I need the key to her ward," Wen Zhiyuan said bluntly.
Alin initially wanted to refuse; it was a difficult request. But seeing Wen Zhiyuan in such a state, he couldn’t bring himself to reject it.
"I’ll take responsibility for all the consequences," Wen Zhiyuan added.
He wanted to see her, at any cost.
Because he knew that if he couldn’t see her this ti, he might never be able to see her again in this lifeti.
Even if she scolded him or rejected him, he just wanted to see her once.
In the end, Alin nodded and agreed to Wen Zhiyuan’s request.
Wen Zhiyuan couldn’t rember how he walked out of the café, nor how he ended up at the music hall.
During winter, the music hall was quite empty; there hadn’t been any concerts recently, making it especially desolate.
He walked inside and into the hall.
Finding the seat he had sat in during graduation year, he gazed dazedly at the stage.
There was no one here, unlike that year when it was packed.
There was nothing on stage either, but as he watched, he saw Shen Di’s figure from back then.
At that ti, she was beautiful, just as beautiful as she was now, in a long dress.
The lodious sound of a violin seed to ring in his ears, each note striking the chords of his heart.
Back then, he didn’t look at anything else, only at her.
Love at first sight, and falling in love upon eting again.
Fate was so peculiar, tying them together with a red string starting from that mont.
It seed as if the hall was still full, and as he watched the stage, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if she was still right in front of him.
She seed to see him too, lifting her head and giving him a gentle smile.
As their gazes t, ti seed to blossom.
That year, the song hadn’t ended, and people hadn’t left.
