Chapter 37

He Wei didn’t know how Jiang Yu’s illness was progressing.

But he knew this illness couldn’t be dragged out any longer.

In the end, he did something he’d never done before-he put aside his pride and called Fu Ziyi.

As expected, he was blocked.

The night sky was dark and boundless. Everything around him was quiet.

Suddenly, it struck him.

His closest sister, his best friend-he had already lost them both.

Is this really what he’d always wanted?

All these years, what had he been doing?

For a moment, he felt lost.

The next day, he went to Fu Ziyi’s hospital.

Maybe luck was on his side, because he happened to run into Jiang Yu, who was waiting downstairs for Fu Ziyi to get off work.

She wore an oversized coat, standing obediently at the entrance.

She’d gotten so much thinner.

He Wei suddenly remembered that when he held her wrist, it felt as if he could touch her bones directly.

Why hadn’t he noticed sooner?

He Wei hurried toward her.

But the moment Fu Ziyi appeared, he stopped in his tracks.

Fu Ziyi had somehow found a scarf and wrapped it around her.

Jiang Yu let him fuss over her, not making a scene, only complaining, “It’s only autumn. Who wears a scarf in autumn?”

“No, you have to wear it,” Fu Ziyi said domineeringly. “What if you catch a chill?”

After he finished, Fu Ziyi took out another scarf and put it on himself.

Jiang Yu’s face was hidden in the scarf, only her round eyes showing. She asked, “Then why are you wearing a scarf?”

“Don’t worry, your brother won’t let you be embarrassed alone.”

Fu Ziyi reached out to take her hand.

She didn’t pull away.

He Wei stood where he was, watching them walk away slowly, no longer having the courage to go forward.

Fu Ziyi had no intention of taking Jiang Yu to see a doctor.

When He Wei realized this, he couldn’t understand it at all.

What did “she’s in pain” mean?

Wasn’t everything already getting better?

Although Jiang Yu had left the He Family, through her own efforts, she was now an outstanding lawyer.

Her work was going well, she had friends, her life was complete.

Shen Hang had also received the punishment he deserved.

Wasn’t everything moving in a good direction?

He Wei thought Fu Ziyi was simply unreasonable.

But it didn’t matter.

Even if Fu Ziyi refused to take Jiang Yu for treatment, there was still him.

This time, he wouldn’t abandon her.

When I saw He Jing and Mrs. He again, I was just opening the door to get my takeout.

These days, I’d been holed up at home, wearing pajamas, not washing my hair, looking very sloppy.

I only glanced at them, then lowered my head to grab my food.

“Xiao Yu.”

With a bang, I shut the door, cutting off their voices.

They were quiet for a while, then started knocking again.

Annoyed, I put on my headphones and turned the music up as loud as it would go.

The window hadn’t been opened in a long time.

I lay on the sofa, took a few bites of food, but had no appetite.

Uncomfortable.

My stomach was empty, so hungry.

But I had no appetite-just the thought of eating made me want to throw up.

Dying like this was truly unbearable.
