She knew chemotherapy would be very painful, but she couldn’t just watch her mother die!

"You didn’t have to watch Auntie suffer; she didn’t have to endure any more pain either! I didn’t deceive you all on a whim and ended up being blessed in disguise!" Zhou Ju’an patted her shoulder. "Sisi, since you were little, you’ve had nothing, so you know best what you want. But now, how could you not know?"

Because she knew so well, she summoned the courage to fight for it, only to be ruthlessly plunged into despair.

But, what Zhou Ju’an said was very right. Even if Lu Beiyao believed her and didn’t mind, there was a person who died unwillingly between them. Could they really be genuinely happy without any reservations?

But she had been hurt once before, and that sensitive heart had curled up tight, not daring to open up again!

Lu Beiyao lay in the hospital for several days, and she didn’t come to see him.

He originally thought that when she turned back that day, it meant she still cared for him, but it seems it was only his illusion!

Until the day he was discharged, she never showed up.

Lu Beiyao directly asked, "Where is she?"

This was the second time he asked this question since waking up. Tu Meijiao hesitated to answer, while Lu Xinguo said directly, "You’ve already divorced, so why do you keep asking about her? Now she’s busy with the Li Family business, where would she find time to care about you!"

Tu Meijiao nudged her husband with her elbow, signaling him not to speak so bluntly.

Lu Beiyao sat in the wheelchair in silence, and after a while, he asked, "Hasn’t Zhou Ju’an been released?"

"Zhou Ju’an can’t handle it all alone, and besides, his wife and child are still in the hospital!"

"Oh, right!" Lu Beiyao nodded, "Let’s go back!"

When Lu Beiyao went to get the cast removed, he finally saw her at the hospital. She stood in front with a bouquet, gentle and serene, calming his agitated heart and making him feel deeply at ease.

Li Siru looked at him twice and then walked over, saying, "I’m here to see my cousin-in-law."

Her words left Lu Beiyao utterly disappointed.

Li Siru took in his expression with her eyes and quietly left.

After the cast was removed, Lu Beiyao began physician-guided rehabilitation. It took him several minutes, yet there was still no sensation in that foot.

Finally, he was extremely frustrated and helpless, "I’ll do it myself; you go out first!"

"The cast has just been removed; excessive exercise isn’t advisable. You should rest after ten minutes!" the physician kindly reminded.

"I know!" Lu Beiyao felt utterly embarrassed.

After the physician closed the door and left, he gritted his teeth and continued trying, failing several times in succession until Li Siru finally came over to support him.

Lu Beiyao was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected her to appear.

"The physician told you, ten minutes and you should rest; it’s already been twelve minutes!" she directly pulled him over to a chair, and Lu Beiyao followed with one-legged hops.

Li Siru firmly sat him down in the chair, "Take a break now!"

She stood in front of Lu Beiyao, looking down at him. The loose trench coat made her figure look even more frail. Lu Beiyao reached out and held her tightly in his arms, clasping her waist tightly, fearing she would leave again.

He buried his head in her embrace, "Why did you come?"

Li Siru looked down at the back of his head, felt his faint trembling, took a gentle breath, and said, "After all, you saved my life. I came to see if you were okay; otherwise, I’d owe you my life."

"You don’t owe me anything!"
