Chapter 86 - 86 085 Xie Shang Dotes on Someone (Second Update)

Chapter 86: 085: Xie Shang Dotes on Someone (Second Update) Chapter 86: 085: Xie Shang Dotes on Someone (Second Update) Yan Cong swallowed the pill, “Changling.” His eyes turned red, and he was very upset, “The medicine is so bitter.”

Wen Changling opened her palm as if by magic, “I’ve prepared some candy for you.”

She tore the candy wrapper and placed the candy in his hand.

Strawberry-flavored, very sweet.

“Yan Cong, let’s stay at the hospital.”

Pancreatic cancer in its late stages can be very painful.

Yan Cong was out of strength and leaned against Wen Changling, clutching the blanket with fingertips turning white: “I don’t want to stay in the hospital, it’s a waste of time.”

He didn’t want to die in a hospital. He didn’t want to let Wen Changling see his ugly state; he wanted to die where she couldn’t see him.

Wen Changling took a tissue and wiped his sweat, “Please, stay at the hospital, okay?”

She was terrified at the thought of Yan Cong collapsing alone outside, with no one to help him, no one to save him.

She couldn’t bear to imagine that scene.

“Is it okay to stay at the hospital?” she coaxed in a soft voice, “Hmm?”

The young man was stubborn and refused to relent.

“Yan Cong.”

Wen Changling tugged at his clothes.

Yan Cong loved being coaxed by Wen Changling. The candy his mother never gave him, Wen Changling had given.

He buried his head and rubbed his forehead against her clothes like a lonely and weak little animal: “Okay.”

Staying at the hospital wasn’t so bad; he could see Wen Changling every day.

Wen Changling left only after Yan Cong had fallen asleep. The Yan Family’s driver took her back to Lotus Pond Street. It was late, and no one was on the street, just solitary lights and shadows.

She walked with her head down, wandering, like a soulless ghost.

“Changling.”

She looked up in a daze.

Xie Shang stood at the front entrance, walking towards her; he must have been waiting for her on purpose: “I just called the hospital, they said you were on leave.”

Wen Changling’s phone was unreachable; she hadn’t answered.

Xie Shang noticed her absent-mindedness: “Did something happen?”

“Nothing.”

She was dismissive.

Xie Shang persisted patiently, “Tell me.”
