Emily replied without hesitation, "I know. So what?"
"So what?" Simon's chest rose and fell intensely. He violently stood up with his arms propped on the ground and shouted, "Emily Sam! This means that I am no longer a normal person! Do you know what this disease is? It is listed as one of the five greatest incurable diseases by WHO, and it is an infectious disease!"
Emily could see the blue veins protruding out of his neck. It was as thick as a chopstick, and the lines and nodal points were very distinct.
She looked up to him fearlessly and looked straight into his eyes. "I'm not afraid!"
Simon's hands clenched into fists, and the expression on his face revealed his pain, "If you stay by my side, you may be infected by me at any time!"
"Simon, you think I'm a three-year-old child?!" Emily rolled her eyes in annoyance and scolded, "Shame on you. As a doctor, don't you know that though AIDS is infectious, it can't be transmitted by air. I won't be infected by staying with you. The virus can only be transmitted through blood, sex and from mother to child! Now, to me, you are the same as normal people!"
After yelling at him, Emily gently pursed her lips.
When she saw his fingers intertwining with each other in pain, she sighed and stood up as well. She took a step forward, and once again grabbed his big hand and quietly looked at him, "I know that it's fatal. But, Simon, we still have a lot of time, don't we?"
"For a healthy person, he could still live 2 to 20 years after infection. It is determined by factors such as the number of virus in the body and the physical condition of the patient. From now on, as long as you take care of yourself, quit smoking, exercise everyday to stay healthy and avoid other diseases, it won't get worse! You are a doctor, I believe you can!"
Simon couldn't hide his surprise in his eyes.
She said it in such an orderly way. It seemed that she had learnt about his condition a lot.
Simon was delighted but also in pain. He clenched his fist even tighter. He smiled bitterly and said, "You've said 2 to 20 years. So I may die in 2 years. Everything is unknown. I may die at any time!"
Emily frowned at his words.
She opened her mouth and are thinking of something to rebut him.
Simon's sight moved from her face to the snow mountain. The sunset glow could not be reached any more, and his heart was somehow as cold as
the white snow.
He didn't need her sympathy. What's more, he don't want her to be dragged by him.
He didn't want her to stay with him to waste time. He could just wait for the end of his life by himself. If he couldn't accompany her for the rest of their life, he would rather let her go at this moment and pray for her happiness.
Simon's eyes seemed to be dipped in thick ink. It was deep and black. "Emily, about what you just asked, I'll have to refuse."
"..." Emily pursed her lips.
Is it a refusal to her sincere heart?
What she had just said had been brewing in her heart for countless times before she finally had the courage to say it...
The corners of Emily's mouth tightened, and all kinds of curses was spit in her heart!
Simon's fingertips moved slightly to avoid her small hand, and the look between his eyebrows turned cold instantly, "I've fulfilled my promise to watch the sunset with you. Now you can go back to Ice city!"
He hoped her to go back to Ice city to finish her wedding. The other man was more suitable for her.
After hearing his words, Emily's face turned blue.
