Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 1020: He Jitang: I Can’t Bear to Leave Her

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: He Jitang: I Can’t Bear to Leave Her

He Jitang knows it’s retribution!

He is not afraid to die, but he still has people he cares about!

He worries about his elderly parents, concerns about Ci’an...

And also, his fourth sister.

He quietly watches her entwine with her beloved.

He wonders in his heart: If his fourth sister knew he had a terminal illness, would she shed a single tear for him?

Then he thinks to himself: Nevermind, he cannot bear to see her cry.

His fourth sister should always be happy, always radiant.

A large black umbrella shields him overhead.

Shen Ci’s voice is very low; he says, "Why doesn’t Mr. Jitang tell Ms. Su? With Ms. Su’s medical skills, as long as the right heart donor is found, the surgery can surely succeed."

He Jitang is stunned for a moment.

Then he smiles...

He says self-mockingly, "Someone like me, what face do I have to ask others for help, and what face do I have to tell my fourth sister I wish to live..."

Shen Ci’s voice chokes a little: "Mr. Jitang, for young master Ci’an’s sake, you should take care of yourself!"

He Jitang coughs violently.

Shen Ci hurriedly takes out a medicine bottle and pours out two pills.

He Jitang swallows them dry.

After easing a bit, he waves his hand: "Don’t say anymore!"

He looks up again at the window.

The lingering shadow is gone; he bleakly thinks, they must have moved to another place.

He stands quietly.

The rain falls heavier and heavier.

Gradually, the umbrella can no longer shield him.

The ground is soaking wet.

He Jitang murmurs softly, "Shen Ci, I don’t know how long I can live... There are no Yulan Trees here at my fourth sister’s place, move that Yulan Tree from my other residence to her place!"

Shen Ci feels deeply saddened.

He whispers, "Ms. Su may not stay in Yang City for years; she will eventually return to City B."

He Jitang is dazed for a moment, then smiles.

He says softly, "It’s better this way! I wouldn’t want her to be sad for too long; I cannot bear it."

Shen Ci calls out once more: "Mr. Jitang!"

But He Jitang has already turned around, he says softly, "Let’s go!"

Shen Ci’s eyes are moist.

The two get into the black car and return to the other residence.

He Jitang disregards his soaked clothes and heads to the small courtyard where Su Ruanruan once stayed.

In front of the courtyard is a Yulan Tree.

He Jitang tells Shen Ci, "Have someone dig up this tree and send it to my fourth sister by dawn."

Though saddened, Shen Ci quickly sets about doing it.

He advises, "Mr. Jitang, you should change your clothes!"

He Jitang replies faintly with an ’Mm’.

After Shen Ci leaves, He Jitang stands alone for a long time before returning to his room to change clothes.

Just as he sits in the study, Chen Er comes over pushing a wheelchair.

After treatment, Chen Er’s leg was saved, but he needs to use a wheelchair for a year or half.

As soon as Chen Er sees He Jitang, he begins to cry.

He rushes over: "Mr. Jitang, you can’t leave me! I’m only left with you as family!"

He Jitang leans on the mahogany chair, his expression indifferent, scolding: "What nonsense?"

Chen Er wipes his tears: "I’ve heard! If Mr. Jitang cannot bring himself to ask, I’ll go beg Ms. Su! Even if it means getting tied up and beaten again!"

Despite his evil nature, he is loyal to He Jitang.

For a moment, He Jitang doesn’t know what to do.

Chen Er is about to leave as he speaks.

He Jitang stops him: "If you dare step out of this residence, I’ll break your leg again."

Chen Er continues sobbing, completely out of sorts.

At this moment, Shen Ci comes over.

He glances at Chen Er and says to He Jitang, "The people have been found; the tree can be dug up before dawn."

He advises He Jitang to rest early.

He Jitang replies, "You all, get out!"

Shen Ci hesitates.

Eventually, he leaves and closes the door.

He Jitang sits alone in the study, looking down at the string of cinnabar stones in his hand...

It’s not that he’s not tired; it’s just that he can’t bear to sleep.

He carries a lifetime of sins.

From now on, he won’t even have the chance to think of her alone.

Such nights, one less with each passing...
