The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1746 - 1760: Together (Part 4)

A tear slid from the corner of her eye. No matter how painful, this is "reality." Besides, no matter how you look at it, the Yu Family treated her so well and even agreed to let her in despite not having children. What more could she say?

For the remaining time, she wanted to live well with Yu Zexiao!

"Zexiao, are we... really going to get married?"

"Of course! Immediately, right away!" Yu Zexiao spoke, and the parents behind him nodded in agreement. After her initial collapse into despair, Jian Anning calmed down, instead wanting to spend the "remaining time" with Yu Zexiao.

"What, don’t you want to?"

"I want to! I want to!" Even now, she still wanted to. She still yearned for the time spent with Yu Zexiao. Even if it’s just a few months, a few days, a few hours, or even the last moment.

"Then let’s go get the marriage certificate now!" True to his word, Yu Zexiao immediately prepared to carry her out! Everyone in the room was bewildered: "What are you doing? She’s not discharged yet!"

Indeed, the final diagnosis of how long she could live hadn’t come from the doctor yet, at least—she needed a sense of assurance.

"Alright, I’ll call the doctor over right away!" Yu Zexiao quickly turned around, and after taking just two steps, he suddenly stopped, "No, we should transfer departments instead."

Hearing this, Jian Anning felt saddened again. Yes, she had to transfer departments; wasn’t she "seriously ill"?

Yu Zexiao immediately went out, while Shen Lanxiao and Xia Ziyu approached, asking with concern, "Anning, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"I... I’m fine." Jian Anning grabbed Shen Lanxiao’s hand. Though her biological mother was unkind to her in this life, she had Qiu Yixian and Shen Lanxiao, both treating her like a daughter.

Though she lacked a mother’s affection, the love they gave her was no less than what a mother would provide.

This life, she would never be able to repay.

"Mom, in the next life, I want to be your daughter-in-law again."

"Child!" Shen Lanxiao was also a bit emotional, "Take good care of yourself, and don’t overthink. Since we are one family now, the unpleasantness before... let’s forget it!"

"Mm." She nodded vigorously, displaying a cute and obedient demeanor that made Xia Ziyu feel a bit embarrassed.

"Mom, one more thing, I don’t have my phone with me now, could you... help me call Qiu Mom?"

Shen Lanxiao was taken aback, suddenly realizing she should inform Qiu Yixian, and immediately nodded, "That’s right, indeed."

Then she stood up to fish out her phone, remembering this was a hospital room, she walked out to make the call.

Though she had decided to remain calm, thinking about bidding farewell to Qiu Yixian in the future filled her heart with a painful surge.

Beside her, Xia Ziyu still held her hand, while Yu Jingxi and Yu Shenglin also looked at her with concern. This gaze made her heart feel sour and uncomfortable. Perhaps, it is only during this time that one can forgive many small frictions from the past and simply wish to leave some good traces in this world?

She wondered how Yu Zexiao would manage in the future without her? Would he be happy? Would he eat well? On cold days, would someone put extra clothes on him? — Or would someone marry him and have children with him?

Yu Zexiao soon returned, picked her up, and walked upstairs. Finally reaching the obstetrics and gynecology department and seeing the doctor, Jian Anning couldn’t hold back anymore: "Doctor, how many years do I have left to live?"
