Chapter 165 Awakening

Shen Shuangmiao left the hospital building and sat alone in the park downstairs, constantly replaying what had just happened, her mind in turmoil.

"Shuang Miao?"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded from the side.

Shen Shuangmiao looked up and saw Fu Xuan.

He had just come out of the hospital building empty-handed, and it seemed he had only exchanged a few words with Zhu Jin before leaving.

Shen Shuang smiled and whispered, "Fu Xuan."

Fu Xuan looked at her slightly red eyes and understood.

He sighed, his tone softening considerably, with a hint of barely perceptible concern: "Are you alright?"

Shen Shuangmiao nodded, then shook her head.

Fu Xuan remained silent for a moment, looking at her with a complex expression.

“Shuangmiao,” he walked over, “time is running out.”

Shen Shuangmiao's heart clenched suddenly.

You must understand your own heart.

Fu Xuan's eyes held a clear understanding of the world. "What are you really thinking? You can't keep running away from this child and Zhu Jin."

He paused, his tone softening: "You don't want him to die, is it just out of pity and reluctance? Or is it for something else?"

Shen Shuang was taken aback.

Is it merely out of sympathy?

The pain that haunts him day and night, the heart palpitations when he is weak and unable to breathe, is it all just out of pity?

That doesn't seem to be the case.

Before I knew it, tears blurred my vision.

Shen Shuangmiao lowered her head; in front of Fu Xuan, she could no longer maintain any pretense.

Her voice choked with emotion: "No, it's not pity..."

Shen Shuangmiao raised her head and looked at Fu Xuan, at a fact that even she herself dared not touch.

"I hated him, I hated him so much, but..."

She sniffed, her tears flowing even more fiercely. "But after that hatred, there's never a feeling of indifference. Seeing him suffer hurts me, seeing him give up makes me more desperate than he is. Fu Xuan, I've always loved him..."

Even when hurt beyond repair, even amidst misunderstandings and resentment, that love never truly disappeared.

It was merely masked by pain, yet when she realized she was about to lose him completely, it left her with nowhere to escape.

At this moment, Shen Shuangmiao finally acknowledged everything, feeling an indescribable pain.

Fu Xuan looked at her sobbing uncontrollably, a knowing glint in his eyes.

He seemed to have transformed back into the older brother who had once supported and encouraged her at work.

“Since you love him,” Fu Xuan’s voice was gentle yet firm, “then go and tell him to do everything in your power to pull him back from the edge of that cliff.”

"Tell him that you need him, that the children need him, and let him know that his presence is irreplaceable to you."

Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Yes, she couldn't hesitate any longer.

She wanted to tell Zhu Jin that she needed him, and that their child needed a father.

She couldn't let him leave with the idea that she would always look forward.

Shen Shuangmiao quickly wiped away her tears, her eyes becoming more determined than ever before: "Thank you, Fu Xuan! I know what to do now."

She entered the hospital building and went straight to Zhu Jin's ward.

Shen Shuangmiao clutched her stomach and tried to walk as fast as she could.

She planned to see Zhu Jin as soon as possible and tell him everything on her mind!

However, when Shen Shuangmiao pushed open the ward door, panting, she found it empty.

The hospital bed was spotless, as if no one had ever lived there.

All of Zhu Jin's personal belongings have also disappeared.

Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank instantly. With trembling hands, she took out her phone and dialed Zhu Jin's number.

The number you dialed is currently switched off...

A cold, impersonal notification tone suddenly sounded.

Shen Shuangmiao suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.

He's not answering the phone!

He's gone!

Shen Shuangmiao forced herself to calm down and immediately dialed the phone number of the old house.

The housekeeper answered the phone.

"Sir? Sir hasn't returned."

The maid's voice carried a hint of doubt, "However, the master instructed that if Miss Shen returns, there is something he needs to give you."

Is there something to give her?

Where are the others?

Shen Shuangmiao felt cold all over, and her hands and feet were icy cold.

Has he already gone to that organization?

The time has been moved up?

"I...I'll be right back!"

Shen Shuangmiao hung up the phone with trembling hands, and suddenly felt her legs go weak, almost unable to stand up.

Fu Xuan, who had been following behind her, immediately helped her up when he saw what was happening.

"Don't panic, Shuangmiao!"

Fu Xuan's voice was calm and steady, carrying a calming power.

"Let's go back and check! Maybe things aren't so bad."

He half-supported, half-carried Shen Shuangmiao, and quickly walked to the parking lot, started the car, and sped towards the Zhu family.

Shen Shuangmiao sat in the car, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

Fu Xuan noticed her rapid breathing and immediately reassured her, "Don't rush, don't rush, take your time, everything will be alright."

Shen Shuangmiao's eyes reddened instantly. She nodded, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

The car stopped in front of the Zhu family's gate. Shen Shuangmiao couldn't even wait for Fu Xuan to open the car door for her. She staggered out of the door herself.

The maid was already waiting in the living room, holding a simple-looking but heavy-looking file box, and handed it to her with a solemn expression: "Miss Chen, this is what the master instructed us to deliver to you."

Shen Shuangmiao's fingers trembled, and she could barely hold the box.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and opened the box.

There were no extra items inside, only a few documents.

At the top is an equity transfer agreement.

Zhu Jin unconditionally transferred all his shares in the Zhu Family Group to Shen Shuangmiao.

This means that he has completely left the assets he built up to her.

Below is a list of assets.

He listed in detail all his real estate, funds, and bank deposits, which amounted to a huge sum, and all of them were transferred to her name.

There were also several blank checks that had been signed and stamped, and a sealed letter.

Shen Shuangmiao's heartbeat almost stopped.

He wasn't making arrangements for his funeral; he was completely emptying himself of his past.

Zhu Jin gave her everything he possessed that was most precious to him.

Shen Shuangmiao trembled as she tore open the letter.

There wasn't much text inside, just a plain note with Zhu Jin's handwriting on it.

There's only one sentence: I'm sorry, please take good care of yourself.

sorry.

take care of yourself……

So he ultimately chose that path.

He didn't even say goodbye in person, using only this sentence as the final end between them.

"No, no, he can't..."

Shen Shuangmiao muttered to herself, her face as pale as paper, her whole body cold, and she almost fainted.

She grabbed the maid's arm suddenly: "When did he leave? Where did he go?"
