Chapter 378 A Real Argument

I was ready to leave after finishing my words.

“I won’t do chemotherapy, Heidi said weakly while coughing violently. “It’ll make my hair fall out and I’ll look ugly… Caden, aren’t you about to get engaged to Rosaline? I want to see you two together, looking beautiful and happy. I don’t want to be an eyesore at your wedding.

I turned around and saw her covering her mouth as she coughed, blood slowly seeping through her slender fingers. Her already pale complexion had turned almost translucent.

She looked so weak that it didn’t seem fake.

Recalling Rosaline’s words, I walked back to the bedside and looked down at Heidi. “If you don’t want chemotherapy, that’s fine. You can still attend my engagement ceremony with Rosaline. Just rest well.”

“Then… Caden, can I hug you?” Heidi lifted her longing gaze to me. She hesitated before saying, “I know my feelings for you caused you a lot of trouble in the past. But now that I’m dying, can’t we consider this my final goodbye to those feelings?”

Inarrowed my eyes slightly while standing still.

“Caden, I really hope you can forgive me,” she said sentimentally.
