Chapter Two: He’ll be alone again from now on!

Xu Zhun fainted and fell on the road outside He Group’s company.

Not far away from there, in the top floor office of the He Group, He Chengyang was talking on the phone with other princelings, arranging which venue to meet at to have fun in the evening.

Two concerned girls called an ambulance and Xu Zhun was taken to the nearby hospital affiliated to the University of Medicine

When he woke up, the evening sun was setting and a dim light had been turned on in the hospital room.

Xu Zhun moved his body and noticed the drip inserted into the back of his hand.

With empty eyes, he watched the liquid fall drop by drop. The liquid was already more than half gone, and he knew that his own life would soon come to an end as well.

The nurse came to check on him, saw him awake, and immediately called the doctor.

Zhao Zhi has met too many leukemia patients, many younger than Xu Zhun, but never one as special as him.

After listening to the seriousness of his condition, Xu Zhun just gently responded, “Thank you, doctor.”

Compared to the patients who were hysterical and crying in anguish, Xu Zhun was too quiet.

Quiet to the point where Zhao Zhi felt that he had no desire to live at all.

Zhao Zhi stared into Xu Zhun’s eyes and saw heart-wrenching emotions in his beautiful black eyes.

He collected his thoughts and his voice became cautious as he asked: “Mr. Xu, have you been diagnosed in other hospitals before?”

“I was seen at the Sixth Hospital a month ago.” Xu Zhun was not evasive about his condition: “The doctor said I only had three months to live.”

Zhao Zhi: “This doctor should have talked to you about the drug GLN, which can be taken if family conditions permit it. The effect is good and it can control the disease. Imported drugs are really expensive, and although domestic drugs are now available, the effect is relatively poor compared to them and they are less effective.”

The corners of Xu Zhun’s mouth pulled downwards.

GLN was a drug he knew he couldn’t afford at 20,000 yuan a bottle. With his present income, he can’t even afford domestic medicine.

If he had money to buy medicine, he wouldn’t have asked to borrow money from He Chengyang.

Xu Zhun hung his head and said in a very small voice, “Thank you doctor, I know this medicine.”

Zhao Zhi: “Do you need me to write you a prescription?”

Xu Zhun shook his head, “No need.”

Zhao Zhi did not say anything, he could see that Xu Zhun was relatively poor.

Xu Zhun was discharged from the hospital that night.

It’s useless for him to be hospitalized for this kind of disease. The hospital is too expensive and he simply cannot afford to stay there.

Back at the apartment he was renting, Xu Zhun cooked some noodles in plain water and mixed them with some soy sauce to fill his stomach.

He started working at the fresh age of 18, working three jobs by himself and using all the money he earned to pay off the gambling debts his father owed.

He eventually had to sell his house in the city in order to pay off his father’s debt. And when his dad suffered from a stroke as a result of his heavy alcoholism and was admitted to the hospital, Xu Zhun once again emptied his bank account to pay for his medical treatment, but his father still died in the end.

After the funeral, he was left with no money to his name.

Xu Zhun started working again to earn money and found a job as a salesman, working more than ten hours a day just to make an additional contract.

He thought that the light would come after the darkness, but he never thought that fate would play such a terrible trick on him.

He had leukemia.

Xu Zhun has experienced countless hardships in his life and has had a tougher time than anyone else.

But he didn’t want to give up, he wanted to live.

This world is a beautiful place because it has He Chengyang in it.

He wanted to live just so he could see the one he loved one more time.

After taking the last bite of his noodles, Xu Zhun washed the bowl clean.

As he went back to his bedroom to get ready for bed, he glanced at the floor mat in the doorway.

There was no need to prepare slippers for He Chengyang today.

He Chengyang hated him so much, how could he ever come back to him again?

From now on he will be alone again!
