Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

As she wrote, tears streamed down her face, soaking the characters on the page.

After writing what she wanted to say to Fu Zhengting, she also wrote about her feelings for Mu Tiantian, and specifically wrote about the time when they went through danger together during the fire at the orphanage.

"From the moment Mu Tiantian woke me up, I understood why you liked her. Seeing you save her broke my heart. I was afraid that because I wasn't loved, you wouldn't save me, but you still risked coming in to save me. I know it was because of a promise you made to my father, but I'm still very touched and grateful..."

After writing the last sentence, "If there is a heaven, I will protect you from there," she spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the notebook page. The largest drop of blood landed right on the opening sentence, "I love you."

Afraid of getting her laptop dirty, she clutched her chest and rushed into the bathroom, coughing into the toilet until she coughed up a lot of blood.

Her legs went weak, and she suddenly felt all her strength drain away, collapsing and leaning against the toilet.

Blood slid down from the corner of her mouth, staining her pajamas.

She closed her eyes weakly, thinking pessimistically, "Am I about to die?"

I'm conflicted. I want to die quickly, and I don't want to suffer from the pain of illness.

But before he died, he wanted to see Fu Zhengting again.

How wonderful it would be to have Fu Zhengting by my side during the final moments of my life!

That way, she could die without regrets.

"Ke Rou!"

Xu Xia rushed to the coffee shop with Fu Zhengting. Finding no one on the bed, she heard coughing coming from the bathroom. She screamed, pushed open the half-closed bathroom door, and was horrified by what she saw inside.

She rushed over.

When Fu Zhengting saw that Wen Kerou's mouth was covered in blood, he realized the seriousness of the situation and quickened his pace to follow her inside.

Wen Kerou turned her head to look.

I actually saw Fu Zhengting through my blurry vision.

He looked anxious and very worried.

She blinked hard.

Is this a hallucination?

"Ke Rou, you must hold on. I don't expect you to be super strong, but please don't give up on yourself so quickly, okay? I've brought Fu Zhengting here. Even if it's not for me, you have to hold on for Ashen's sake." Xu Xia said urgently as she helped Wen Ke Rou up.

Wen Kerou realized it wasn't a hallucination; her mother had really gone to find Fu Zhengting!

She felt both resentful and touched.

But now I don't even have the energy to get angry anymore.

She longed for Fu Zhengting's attention, but was also afraid of being seen by him in such a disheveled state.

Fu Zhengting held Wen Kerou's other hand and, together with Xu Xia, helped Wen Kerou to the bed and settled her down.

Xu Xia took the medicine out of the drawer, poured hot water into a thermos, and handed it to Fu Zhengting so that he could feed his daughter the medicine.

Fu Zhengting hesitated for two seconds, but still took the medicine.

Since I promised my ex-mother-in-law I would come, I shouldn't dwell on it.

I don't want to hurt Wen Kerou's sensitive and fragile self-esteem.

He took the water glass and the medicine.

Xu Xia helped Wen Kerou up and placed a pillow behind her back so that Wen Kerou could lean against it.

Then he took out a tissue and wiped the blood from Wen Kerou's mouth.

Fu Zhengting was worried that there might still be traces of blood in Wen Kerou's mouth, so he asked Xu Xia to find something to hold the water.

Xu Xia went into the bathroom and took out a washbasin.

Fu Zhengting fed Wen Kerou water, reminding her, "Purge yourself out first before drinking."

Wen Kerou stared blankly at Fu Zhengting, feeling as if she were dreaming.

But the pain in her body reminded her that this was not a dream.

Her mouth did feel uncomfortable, but she obediently did as she was told.

Fu Zhengting saw that the water wasn't steaming and the cup felt warm to the touch, but he still carefully let Wen Kerou take a small sip first.

Only after making sure the water isn't too hot should you raise the cup to feed the child faster.

He let Wen Kerou drink a few sips to moisten her throat before feeding her the medicine.

Wen Kerou enjoyed Fu Zhengting's meticulous care.

Being taken care of like this by someone you love makes you feel like you can't feel any physical pain anymore.

Is this the magic of love?

Xu Xia stood aside watching this scene and could see her daughter's happiness.

She was glad she went to see Fu Zhengting.

I also thank Fu Zhengting for being a good person.

It wasn't until she finished taking the medicine that Wen Kerou thought of a very important question.

She scrutinized Fu Zhengting, asking uncertainly, "Fu Zhengting, have you... regained your memories?"

"Yes, it was unintentional to recover," Fu Zhengting said truthfully, telling Wen Kerou about his arm-wrestling match with Ling Jieyu.

Wen Kerou never expected that Fu Zhengting would regain his memory under such circumstances.

She wondered if God had taken pity on her, allowing Fu Zhengting to regain his memories at this crucial moment.

If Fu Zhengting can come, then her unwavering love will have been worthwhile.

"Fu Zhengting, thank you, thank you for coming..."

Her voice was soft, choked with emotion, a mixture of gratitude and heartache.

"Don't give up on yourself, persevere to the end, I will... stay here with you." Fu Zhengting said with some difficulty and awkwardness.

Because it wasn't entirely voluntary, but not wanting to hurt Wen Kerou's self-esteem, I tried to make it sound as natural as possible.

He meant to say he would accompany you through the last moments of your life.

But I felt that sentence was too tragic.

Moreover, he cannot guarantee 100% that he will stay until the end.

If there is any emergency with Mu Tiantian, such as her father forcing her and Ling Jieyu to actually register their marriage and hold a wedding, he must go and stop them.

He didn't say it so bluntly, knowing that Wen Kerou wouldn't force him to stay.

Wen Kerou understood; how could she not understand?

Although she didn't know the specifics of Fu Zhengting and Mu Tiantian's current situation.

But she could sense it.

She was already very grateful that Fu Zhengting came; how could she dare to ask for more?

"I will pull myself together and fight this illness," she replied.

Xu Xia was both annoyed and amused.

No matter how much she begged or pleaded, it was no match for a few casual words from the man her daughter liked.

Wen Kerou saw through her mother's resentment and felt very guilty.

She's a hopeless romantic.

But she doesn't regret it.

"Let's go to the hospital for treatment. Maybe things will turn around?" Fu Zhengting suggested.

Staying here could be very dangerous if something unexpected happens, like what just happened.

Wen Kerou shook her head and refused Fu Zhengting's suggestion. "I've already been to two hospitals for checkups and made sure everything is clear. There's no mistake in the diagnosis. The chance of survival in the late stage of this disease is almost zero. Rather than lying in the hospital and enduring the pain of chemotherapy and dialysis, I'd rather stay where I like..."

The atmosphere at the scene became incredibly heavy.

Fu Zhengting didn't know what to say.

He respects Wen Kerou's choice.

Xu Xia left, leaving the two of them alone.

The room fell silent immediately, and the atmosphere became very subtle.

Wen Kerou was very nervous and didn't dare to look at Fu Zhengting. She wanted to say something to break the awkward atmosphere, but she didn't know what to say.
