Chapter 573 Waiting For Him To Fail

“Justin, you win!” Veronique's hysterical scream echoed throughout the ward.

In the next instance, Veronique wrapped her arms around Justin's neck and started wailing in his embrace.

“I didn't want you close to me because I was afraid of burdening you. I'm a dying person. How can I drag you with me to my deathbed? Why can't you understand my intentions? Why must all of you force me?”

Justin hugged her tightly and smiled. “Silly girl. How can I not know what you're thinking? Since you don't want me to follow you to the other world, I won't do so. I know your biggest worry is Zephyr. I will live on and take care of him until he reaches adulthood. Only then will I go and find you. Is that okay?”

Veronique got out of Justin's embrace and stared at him dazedly. “Is that true? Say you're not lying to me. You're certain you won't follow me after I die?”

Justin reached out and caressed her pale-looking face. “Zephyr is my biggest worry too. He's still young, and I can't leave him alone. What you should do now is not think about anything and concentrate on the treatment. If the heavens love you, they will bless my research with Bailey and come up with a uterine cancer drug. Otherwise, we shall accept our fate.”

Veronique once again threw herself into Justin's embrace. Her right hand was about to hug his waist when she felt a warm sensation. It was then she realized the knife was still in his abdomen.

“Y-Your abdomen...” Veronique said in a worried tone.

“It's fine. I'm a doctor, remember? I won't stab myself in the vital area.”

Veronique became furious and slapped his chest. “You shall not use this method to force me in the future. Do you understand me?”

“Of course, I'll listen to whatever my wife says.”

Veronique rolled her eyes and did not bother to reply further.
