Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 257 Love Yourself Before You Love Someone

Baz was caught in the middle now, “Mr. Cedric said he’s not going, Ms. Maia. There’s no changing his mind. I–I can’t go against his orders, but we have some medicine in the car. Should we have him take it and see how it goes?”

“What? He’s in so much pain he’s sweating!” Maia looked at Cedric angrily, “Are you going to the hospital, Cedric? I’m going to ignore you if you don’t!”

“You’re already doing that.” He smiled bitterly and said, “I’m the one to blame for it.”

Nobody realized just how much he wanted Maia to care about him. He would gladly take it even if it meant her nagging him and throwing temper tantrums.

He would revel in it because it meant she loved him from the bottom of her heart. However, he could no longer see any signs that suggested she loved him these days.

“Read the room, Cedric. Why are you talking about this now? Hurry up and go to the hospital. Get your stomach checked thoroughly. It wasn’t in great condition to begin with. Can you take better care of yourself?”

“I lost you. What’s the point?” He shook his head and propped himself up. He looked pale. He was only human after all. He could feel the pain in his stomach.

Maia said, “Didn’t you always say you wanted to marry me again? Didn’t you always say you love me? How are you supposed to prove all of that if you’re dead?

“Are those words merely empty promises? You must love yourself before you can love others. How am I supposed to believe that you really love me when you don’t even love yourself?”

Cedric used to direct all of his attention to work. He brought his company to the peak of success and conglomerated HL Corporation and KN Corporation into a single entity. He worked tirelessly like a robot and never took care of himself.

Now, it seemed that he shifted his entire focus onto her. He had put everything aside for her, including his life. He was still the same man who never took care of himself.
