Andorli kept smiling, sometimes blinking, seeming a bit uncomfortable, unaware of the pair of eyes watching her from outside the door.
Suddenly, Haino Zenji pushed open the door and walked in, saying to the children: “Alright, English lesson is over. Now it’s uncle’s visiting time, you all go out!”
”Okay!” The children scattered immediately.
Haino Zenji stood by the door, gazing deeply at her, both of them silent for a long time.
After a moment, Andorli sighed.
”Did Ai tell you I’m here?”
”Who told me isn’t important. What’s important is that I have the right to care about your health.” Haino Zenji walked to the bedside, tenderly holding her hand, “How did this happen? Weren’t you always going for regular check-ups?”
”The doctor said it might be caused by that previous impact. Blood clots will slowly accumulate, and surgery is needed to remove them.” She spoke calmly, as if she had already accepted the fact.
”When is the surgery?”
”Preliminarily scheduled for next Wednesday.” Andorli smiled at him, deliberately asking, “Have you and Nakaya Yuka already had your wedding?”
”The wedding has been canceled. Didn’t you notice the news?”
Andorli shook her head, “Maybe because I was hospitalized, so I didn’t know about it.”
”Want to know why I canceled the wedding?” He sat on the chair by the bed, gently looking into her eyes.
Andorli remained silent. She wasn’t indifferent, just didn’t want to be easily hurt by him again.
As long as there are no expectations, there won’t be too much disappointment, right?
”Tell me,” Andorli said flatly.
”I miss you, I need you. I won’t leave your side again, no matter what hardships or illness, I will always be by your side.” Haino Zenji declared his lifelong vow to her.
”Are you pitying me because I look so miserable now?”
”It’s not pity, but love. In Japan, I canceled the wedding with Nakaya Yuka and clearly told my grandfather that I no longer want the management rights of Haino Group.
I repeatedly thought about what you said. You were right. As long as I can use my own strength to make my companies surpass Haino Group, that would be the best revenge.”
Andorli looked at him, moved, “Are you telling the truth?”
