Back then, when April had just left, Pierre looked for her everywhere like crazy.
In the end, he drank every night to drown his sorrows and his newly-started career almost came to a complete halt.
Once, he drank so much that his stomach perforated and he fainted at the door of his rental house.
Seeing the man with a painful face, she could not help but emerge from the darkness and send him to the hospital.
Just as she was about to leave, he woke up. He knelt down and begged her not to leave.
“Pierre, don’t be a jerk. I don’t love you anymore. Your shameless look only makes me feel sick.”
After saying these words coldly, she got into the taxi.
She saw him staggering after her in the rearview mirror until he finally fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, but she did not stop.
After that, Pierre no longer indulged in love affairs and devoted himself to his career.
At that time, six years had passed, she was suffering from illness and her life was coming to an end.
Pierre had already started a successful business a long time ago and became the President of a well-known listed company, enjoying a glorious life.
April knew that Pierre had actually been looking for her secretly in the early years.
He was still holding a grudge against her for abandoning him and wanted to take revenge on her, but this only stopped in the past two years.
Three months ago, April knew that she did not have much time left, so she stopped hiding and moved back into the rental house that was once filled with their sweet past.
She thought that her situation and Pierre's were completely different and they would never have any intersection again that time.
Unexpectedly, the day after she moved in, Pierre brought Donna to live opposite her. Not only did they become neighbors, but they also humiliated her in various ways.
April sighed, looking helpless as she asked, “Pierre, can we reconcile?”
She only had five days left to live and she just wanted to spend the last moments in peace.
This question made Pierre's breath catch. His eyes were burning when he responded, “We can reconcile, but you have to tell me the truth about why you abandoned me. I don’t believe you will fall in love with another man.”
For so many years, he had always believed that she had her own reasons.
There was expectation in his eyes. If she told him her difficulties, then he would forgive her and he would no longer care about the insults and harm she had done to him in the past.
Unfortunately, April did not give him any chance at all.
“The truth is, I no longer love you, but I have fallen in love with another man.”
Pierre's face suddenly became so gloomy that tears seemed to come out of it. His eyes were red with a hint of hurt. He stared at her with a frown.
April pursed her lips and moved her fingers.
“I have something else to do, so I'll leave first.”
In the end, she could only suppress the urge to smooth his brows, threw down these words and turned away.
Pierre looked at her indifferent back with a cold face. He kicked over the coffee table suddenly, scaring Donna so much that she screamed.
Listening to the noise behind him, April kept walking.
But as soon as she walked out of the room, she could not help vomiting blood. Dark red blood flowed out from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
April's first reaction was to close the door with her other hand.
She had only one thought in her mind, she must not let Pierre find out that she was vomiting blood, otherwise all her six years of persistence would be in vain.
April endured the pain, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and fingers, then wiped the blood off the ground, then slowly left.
She did have her own difficulties.
That year, she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Medicine and was rotating in the hospital's Emergency Department. Because the patient deliberately concealed his condition, she was infected with AIDS due to exposed wounds.
When she was diagnosed, she felt like the sky was falling.
Less than three days before getting her Marriage Certificate with her lover, she became an AIDS patient.
Although wearing a condom could better prevent infection, it was not absolute.
The most difficult thing was that she was allergic to condoms. If the two of them wanted to be together, they could only live a sexless marriage.
Pierre was such an outstanding man, how could she bear to let him marry a wife with a hidden illness?
Therefore, she could only cruelly withdraw from his world and hide in the dark to watch over him and protect him.
She was insensitive to AIDS treatment drugs, so the medicine was of little use. After she became ill a year ago, she developed multiple complications, including a very deadly cancer.
At that moment, she could only live for another month at most and she had decided to end her life in five days, so naturally she would not tell the truth.
