Chapter 2: The remaining time

Looking up at the blue sky, feeling the gentle breeze blowing through my hair, playing under the trees. Under the cherry tree, Luxstay's gaze was fixed on a figure, his heart seemed to miss a beat.

Reflected in her eyes was the figure of a young man in a white shirt, all his attention focused on the book he was reading. Emma sat in the middle of the schoolyard reading a book in the gentle sunlight, unaware that she had stolen the girl's heart.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, her friend ran towards Emma with a bottle of mineral water. Casually sat down next to him, sitting in a position that even Luxstay could not dream of. That day the gears of fate turned, starting this cruel love affair.

The figure of the teenager in Luxstay's eyes darkened and then disappeared completely. She slowly raised her eyelids, the strong smell of disinfectant wafting in.

Luxstay shook his head slightly, only a vague memory remained, and then looked down at the hand that was holding two water infusion needles.

She seemed to have dreamed of him, a story from a long time ago. The story of a princess who one day lost her heart and gave her love away.

Butler Zhou came in from outside, saw that she was awake, and her eyes flashed with joy: "Young lady, you are awake!"

Hearing Chu's words, Luxstay also sighed inwardly. One day is not a big deal, just afraid Emma knows about it, discovers something. Maybe she'll never wake up again.

"Does Emma know about this?"

Butler Zhou hurriedly said, "You told me not to talk, and I don't dare say too much."

Explaining everything, Luxstay let go of the rock in his heart. She was forced to hide Emma, ​​he absolutely must not know about this, absolutely not. Because Luxstay didn't want him to pity her, much less wanted to become his burden.

Luxstay said softly: "Please call Dr. Henry for me."

"Yes, my lady." Butler Zhou nodded and left the hospital room.

Two days ago, Luxstay signed the divorce petition, but because of the promise to her, Emma has not yet brought it to the notary. During these two months, he and she remained legally husband and wife. Despite saying that, but Luxstay knew that they were just a husband and wife on paper, with a name and no reality.

"Miss." Lost in thought, Luxstay did not know when Doctor Henry entered his ward. After hearing his voice, she woke up.

Henry is a close doctor of Mr. Luxstay, and has also cared for her since childhood. It is said that Henry used to treat her mother for a while. For him, Luxstay has an absolute trust.

Luxstay straight to the point:

"How long do you have to live?"

Her question surprised Henry, she was the first to ask him that. He pushed the frame of his glasses, looked at her for a while, and then said: "If you do surgery, there will be no danger..."

"I won't do surgery." Without waiting for Henry to finish, Luxstay bluntly interrupted him quickly.

However, she continued: "Uncle Henry, that year my mother also had surgery, even her last words could not be left in time. Now even you want me to follow in the footsteps of my mother?"

Henry shook his head and tried to advise: "Miss, medicine is now much more developed than before. If you do the surgery, it might be successful."

Luxstay sneered: "Success or not, even I am not sure. If I really had to choose, I would choose to live a little longer."

Young lady has been stubborn since childhood, if she persists in not doing surgery. He also has no other choice.

After all, Luxstay is still haunted by the death of his mother.

Henry sighed: "Your disease is inherited from the lady, but according to the test results, it is a few parts more dangerous. I will prescribe medicine to keep you alive, if you're lucky, it's only for three more months."

That year, her mother had a 30% chance of survival, and in the end still couldn't survive. Luxstay felt that he was freely falling into a deep abyss of ten thousand feet, at any time he could lose his life.

Emma… how much time do you have left to love me?

…

The night covered the whole city of S, the cold from the ice and snow permeated the soul. Outside, it was snowing non-stop, I was afraid that by the end of the day, S City would be buried by snow.

Even in such a large room, she was left alone. It would be great if you were here now.

After pondering for a while, Luxstay decided to call Emma. She missed him so much, just hearing his voice was enough for her to be satisfied.

A few seconds later Emma picked up the phone, a warm sound sounded on the phone, he was extremely quiet: "What?"

Luxstay suddenly forgot what she had to say, his voice made her forget.

Emma patiently repeated again, this time adding one word: "What's wrong?"

"I… can we go to country M tomorrow too?" Luxstay's words were a bit interrupted, because her mind was in turmoil.

On the other end of the line, Emma was talking to Luxstay as she folded the photo on the table.

Lately, he always felt that Luxstay was very strange: "Why is it so urgent?"

Luxstay's throat suddenly choked, he had to use a knife to stab her heart wound? I don't know when, tears were shed, Luxstay could only try to suppress his emotions.

Luxstay tried to hold back his tears and calmly replied, "I just want to leave early."

"Okay, come to my company tomorrow morning."

Finally, he hung up the phone.

Not even a goodbye…

After confirming the phone was off, Luxstay couldn't take it anymore. She reached for the white pillow and hid her face in it, the choked cry resounded dreary in an empty room.

Now, in another room, Emma stood in front of the glass wall watching the snow fall. Thinking of the shy and enticing look when Luxstay stretched out her arms to hug her. He was startled by his own thought, in his mind hastily denied. He absolutely must not have that kind of affection for her, he can love anyone, as long as that person is not Luxstay.

.....

With her current state, she shouldn't have been discharged from the hospital. But because of him, Luxstay managed to escape from the hospital.

This is the second time Luxstay has come to your company. For the first time, she came as the great lady of the Orly family - Luxstay Orly. And this time she came as Emma's wife. Twice with two different identities, but the soul is only one, still as pure as ever.

Emma's secretary of course knew Luxstay's face, apparently his name was Aubrey. Standing in front of his door, Luxstay took a deep breath and pushed open the door to enter.

Emma was looking at the document intently, he glanced at her but didn't pay attention

Before, when he said he didn't like her to the company, she stopped coming. Now she suddenly realized, the appearance of this room she had long since forgotten. A wife who doesn't even know her husband's office, sounds like a myth, doesn't it?

Suddenly Emma got a phone call, Luxstay obediently waited for him to finish answering.

Just hear him say: "Okay, wait a minute."

He stood up, took his coat and put it on to Luxstay's surprise: "Anna Linda has a stomach ache, the trip to country M has been rescheduled for tomorrow."

"Did I hear you wrong?" Luxstay lowered her head, covering her red lips that were being bitten by her to the point of bleeding.

Her voice was very gentle, not even a hint of resentment was heard. Emma's footsteps did indeed stop for a beat. But he didn't turn around, just walked away, out of her sight.

Luxstay's legs became stiff, his hands clenched into fists, his fingernails were deeply imprinted on his palms until red marks, a burning pain spread.

Do you know how much she tried for you? Do you know how much she cherishes every moment with him? Do you know, her life is counting in seconds?

You don't know anything, you don't understand anything.

But how? She loved him, loved him with all her life. In this life, she had no way to let go of him… Luxstay smiled wryly.
