Kapitel 40: Chapter 40 Leukemia

"I still have work to do." Pei Yansi had already bathed and was lying in bed, with Shen Heyu lying beside him, a great distance away as if she were afraid he would get close.

He felt somewhat dissatisfied inside. They had already been intimate, so why was she still so scared?

But thinking of the person on the other end of the call, he softened his tone, "It's late already. You should rest early. Once I finish my work, I'll come back to keep you company."

Bai Sheng'er could tell from his words that he was going to hang up, and in a moment of desperation, she burst into tears and blurted out, "But the doctor said I don't have much longer to live..."

Pei Yansi frowned. "What nonsense is that?"

"After you left yesterday, the wound on my leg reopened. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor told me I have leukemia..." Bai Sheng'er lied effortlessly, not caring about anything else. All she wanted was for Pei Yansi to come back and be with her.
