"Edward actually did such a thing in order to let you recover. I'm really scared. Sunny, he really... loves you very much."
"Cornelia, you know that?" Ashley looked at Cornelia and said weakly.
Cornelia listened carefully and looked at Ashley quietly.
"I have been in love with Edward for decades. Although we have suffered a lot and many people think that Edward is not worthy of my love, I still love him. No matter what he looks like, I love him. I'm unworthy of many people in my life. I feel the guiltiest for Richard, and feel the saddest for Justin. I can live until now because of them. I am really happy to live until today. So don't feel sad. Everyone will die. No one can live forever. The most important thing is when we can live without regrets."
"I can't bear to part with you, Sunny." Cornelia hugged Ashley's body and burst into tears.
"Fool, you have your husband and child. Cornelia, I'll just leave earlier than you."
Ashley touched Cornelia's hair and said quietly.
Facing the approaching death, Ashley was not afraid at all. For her, it was lucky enough to live to her sixties.
After Cornelia left, someone who surprised Ashley came to her ward. It was Joanna, she came with Joanna was more mature and beautiful than half a year ago.
She looked happier and more confident than before.
"Madam, do you still remember me?" Joanna looked at Ashley who was sitting on the hospital bed and asked uneasily.
Ashley reached out her hand and waved at Joanna.
Joanna immediately stepped forward and held Ashley's hand.
"Joanna, I've been waiting for you." Ashley muttered as she looked at Joanna with motherly eyes.
Joanna's eyes were filled with tears.
She bit her lips, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Madam, you will be fine."
"Yeah."
Ashley smiled gently, then looked at Arvin who had been looking at Joanna all the time, and asked with distress, "Who is this?"
Why did Joanna come to see her with a man? Was that her boyfriend?
"He's my boyfriend." Joanna got up and walked to Arvin's side. She hugged Arvin's arm and smiled at Ashley sweetly.
Hearing it, Ashley was a little upset. But soon, she forced herself to cheer up and said to Joanna, "Congratulations, he is a very good man."
"Thank you, Mrs. Xi. I'm Arvin, Joanna's fiance." Arvin elegantly reached out his hand to Ashley and shook hands with her.
Ashley smiled and said with gentle eyes, "Remember to tell me when you get married."
"Okay." Joanna chatted with Ashley for a while. Seeing that Ashley was very tired, she was about to leave with Arvin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Joanna and Arvin walked out of the door, they happened to meet Cedric who came to see Ashley.
When Cedric saw Joanna, his eyes focused on her.
His eyes were so affectionate that Joanna had no way to avoid them.
She bit her lips hard, and her hand, which was held by Arvin, became stiff.
She thought that she would be calm when she met Cedric again, but when she really met him, she had no way to calm down.
Arvin could see Joanna's nervousness and uneasiness. He pinched Joanna's palm softly, and said to Cedric with tenderness on his handsome face, "Hello, are you Cedric? I am Arvin, Joanna's fiance."
Hearing it, Cedric's whole face darkened.
He clenched his fists tightly and his face was extremely pale.
He pursed his lips and stared at Joanna with sharp eyes, as if he was waiting for her to speak.
After feeling Arvin's extremely warm and encouraging support, Joanna took a deep breath and smiled at Cedric, "Cedric, no long no see." "Joanna... Tell me, this is not true." Cedric growled at Joanna in a hoarse voice.
Joanna turned her head away and said in a cold voice, "Arvin is my fiance, it's true."
"How dare you! Joanna, I've let you alone for half a year, but now you have a fiance!" Cedric's gentle face turned extremely horrible. His face looked so indifferent.
He rushed to Joanna, grabbed her shoulder tightly with both hands, shook her body hard and growled at her angrily.
Just as Joanna was about to push Cedric away, Arvin had pushed Cedric away and held Joanna in his arms tightly.
