C58. End of the Main Story.

Chapter 58

Shen Shanhe's health was deteriorating day by day. The doctors came and went, but the journey to Section C was too far and exhausting for them. So Xiao Wang arranged for them to stay in the villa with Shen Shanhe's family.

Drip by drip, Shen Shanhe lay in the room, so thin that he seemed to have lost all his vitality. His eyes, once bright, now looked dull and lifeless as he blankly stared at a spot in the room...

Shao Xuan saw everything and her heart ached, so she sat by Shen Shanhe's bedside all day, tears washing her face. She spoke to Shen Shanhe every day, fearing that he would leave her and Shen Mingxin behind.

"Both Mingxin and I are still waiting for you. You must recover quickly... Qin Zhichen told us that once we leave this place, everything will be fine, that when we go somewhere else, we can start anew."

At the mention of Qin Zhichen, Shen Shanhe's eyes finally focused. He turned his gaze to Shao Xuan's face, his hand with the IV trying to pat hers gently, then shook his head.

In a soft voice, he said, "Shao Xuan, you're being too naive. Qin Zhichen's promises may not be kept. We are just pawns in his game, and once he achieves his goals, he won't care about our lives."

"I'm exhausted being here, I'm losing strength, but I can't die." Shen Shanhe looked at the needle in his hand, "Minglou hasn't come yet, he won't let me die."

Perhaps out of habit, Shen Shanhe no longer raged as he used to. Maybe he realized that losing his temper wouldn't help. He spoke to Shao Xuan with a softer tone.

Shao Xuan cried, "He promised us..."

"I keep dreaming about Xiao Han, maybe my time is running out."

Shao Xuan cried even harder, "You can't die! Even if you die, you can only die with me. After death, we must be together. I won't let Xiao Han take you away."

She turned to the silent Shen Mingxin in the room and said, "You should also talk to your father!"

"Dad, please live well," Shen Mingsin said calmly.

Shao Xuan forced a smile to cheer up Shen Shanhe, but tears filled her eyes, making the smile seem more sorrowful.

She said, "Did you hear that? Your son also wants you to live well. You must recover quickly."

Shen Shanhe's eyes flickered but he didn't respond to Shao Xuan's words.

He looked toward the ceiling and weakly asked, "Mingxin, how long have we been here?"

Taking a chair, Shen Mingsin sat beside Shao Xuan, looking at the aging Shen Shanhe on the bed, "It's been nine months."

"Nine months," Shen Shanhe repeated, "but it feels like nine years."

"Did she go through the same in three years?"

Shen Mingxin didn't delve into the grudges of the past life. He was Shao Xuan's son and stood by her side.

Listening to his mother's increasing sobs, Shen Mingxin asked Shen Shanhe, "Do you regret it?"

Shen Shanhe asked, "Regret what?"

Shen Mingxin fell silent.

"Since I've done it, I won't regret it," Shen Shanhe said. "If I could go back to that time, I would still choose for Xiao Han to die."

Shen Shanhe's voice was light but carried a heavy weight, "If she didn't die, I wouldn't have had the chance to control the Mountain River, and you wouldn't have had the opportunity to enjoy so many benefits. Do you regret it?"
