Come to see him!
That was the only thought in Emily's mind.
She didn't want to think about anything else but coming to him and being with him.
That night, she packed up her luggage for her flight at one o'clock in the middle of the night. After landing, she took another long journey by train and bus. Finally, she came to his place.
Emily stood on the step, which made her a little higher than him. Her figure was able to reflect in his glittering eyes. She moved forward and said, "Simon, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"What did I promise?" Simon's Adam's apple rolled.
Emily stared at him and said in a clear voice, "You said you would see the sunset above the snow mountains in Tbridge City with me. Do you still keep your words?"
Simon gasped involuntarily.
Yes, he had said that and he never forgot.
The sunset above the snowy mountains in Tbridge City was not enough. Plucking cactus in the Sahara Desert, rowing a boat in the Amazon rainforest to see crocodiles, sledding in the Arctic with Eskimos, and so on. He even wanted to go to every corner of the world with her...
There seemed to be two frogs jumping around in Simon's temple, and the flowing blood also seemed to break through her skin, but he was trying to restrain it.
When he left, her wedding date had already been set. Although he was in the distant Tbridge City, he knew that her wedding was about to be held. She would no longer be his Mrs. Chin and become someone else's wife, but now she appeared here surprisingly...
Looking away from her suitcase, Simon's throat became dry. His thin lips parted slightly as he said with a forced smile, "Emily, since you're here, what about the wedding?"
"It's canceled." Emily said lightly.
Simon was shocked and asked in disbelief, "You won't get married?"
"No!" Emily replied immediately, shaking her head.
Hearing this, Simon looked at her in surprise. He didn't blink, as if he wanted to distinguish if she was telling the truth from her eyes.
Emily didn't look away. She met his gaze, allowing him to stare into the depths of her heart.
This had been undoubtedly what he wanted to hear the most!
But that was only true in the past...
The fire of surprise gleaming in Simon's eyes was all put out. He frowned slowly as if he was thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you know that I'm sick?"
"..." Emily held her breath.
Simon's pupils dilated, and then he asked, "Did Dr. Lee tell you?"
He could almost guess what had happened. As a surgeon working in the same private hospital, Anthea could easily get any patient's medical record as long as she wanted to.
"Yes." Emily nodded.
Hearing that, Simon looked away at the wall next to her.
Sure enough...
The surging blood in his body gradually cooled down, and there seemed to be a mass of suffocating cotton in his throat. Simon boomed, "Emily, go back to Ice city. You're not welcomed here, and I don't need your sympathy or pity!"
Emily pursed her lips.
Before she came here, she actually expected that he would push her away and let her go back.
Because when he had known about his illness, he chose to let go. He was willing to give her a blessing when she was about to marry someone else. He even wanted to escape and ran back to the Tbridge City area so far away to live the rest of his life in the hope of not becoming a burden for her.
