The Death of a Passionate Love Chapter 14
After the fiasco in the club, news of Rain and Joshua’s impending divorce spread within the upper-class society. Fortunately, Rain had prepared a statement long ago. Hence, Zimmer Corp and Thompson Corp’s businesses and stocks were not too affected. Both of them remained good business partners, and the transition went pretty smoothly. However, once they learned that Rain was absolutely getting a divorce from Joshua, her relatives began introducing new potential partners to Rain. Meanwhile, Joshua kept visiting her. Rain could not put up with this any longer and got herself out on tons of business trips to avoid them. This time, Rain headed to Oceanville. While there, she was going to discuss the research and development of an anticancer drug with Titan Pharmaceuticals.Before she came, Rain read up on a lot of information about this project and got to know the general gist of the person she would be negotiating with. But when she arrived at the meeting place, she found t

It was Rain’s first time meeting Lewis, so they were not so close that she could let him send her back. However, if she continued staying there, she would have to keep talking to Joshua. Therefore, Rain accepted his offer. “Alright. Thanks.”As he watched them leave, Joshua’s expression slowly turned obsessive as he mumbled, “I won’t give up.”“Joshua.”Suddenly, he heard Faye’s voice come from ahead of him. Joshua frowned and looked at her. “You followed me?”Faye’s smile froze. “No. Your parents were worried, and they asked me to check on you.”Joshua’s expression warmed up a little. “I’m fine. You should go back.”Faye bit her bottom lip and did not move. Ever since they parted ways at the club, Joshua had started ignoring her. No matter how she apologized or tried to get into his good books, it was useless. The people who joined the party to celebrate Joshua’s return to singlehood had also cut ties with her. In their eyes, she took matters into her own hands and invit

The news came too suddenly, so much so that Rain could not wrap her head around it. Joshua’s words hit like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day. A storm raged in Rain’s heart, and her gaze instinctively fell on the report. The results stated that Joshua had stage 3 stomach cancer. With a mournful look, Joshua touched his stomach and said softly, “I’ve been feeling nauseous and had a lot of cramps lately. When I went to get a checkup in the hospital, they told me that I have stomach cancer.”Ten minutes later, Joshua stepped into Rain’s apartment with her. Rain poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of Joshua. As she stared at him, she found that everything just felt surreal. She never expected Joshua to have such a serious illness. Joshua’s stomach had always been weak, but she had taken care of him meticulously, but…Aside from shock, Rain also felt at a loss. The cancer had come too suddenly. Honestly, while Rain was worried about Joshua, their marriage ha

Spider web-like cracks appeared on the screen.Every word in the trending tag was an eyesore to Lewis. His heart hurt. Was he going to miss his chance with Rain again?He could not accept it. But if Joshua was really terminally ill, it was not wrong for him to want Rain to return to his side. However, Rain should be the one to decide whether she returned to Joshua’s side. The people online should not be guilt-tripping her this way. Lewis pursed his lips and called his assistant. “Contact the media…”Soon after he started speaking, he realized something, and he started reading through the posts about Joshua and Rain. Then, he noticed that the manner of speech was the same. Clearly, someone was behind why the tag trended in the first place. Lewis had a thought and instructed his assistant, “You don’t have to contact the media anymore. Instead, look into whether anyone paid any money to make the tag about Joshua and Rain trend.”His assistant went off to carry out his duties

“Honey.” Joshua did not notice anything abnormal about Rain and reached out to hold her hand. Just like usual, Rain avoided his touch, but Joshua did not mind. He knew that if he was impatient, he would not be able to win the game. Recently, Rain was no longer so cold toward him. He was sure that pretty soon, he would be able to convince her to go home with him. However, Joshua also had something troubling him. How was he supposed to hide from Rain that he was not really getting chemotherapy when he was supposed to start receiving it?The best-case scenario would be that Rain would return to his side before chemotherapy started. Then, he would think of a way to smooth over the lie before turning the doctor into a scapegoat and making him admit that they made a misdiagnosis. Joshua’s smile turned brighter. “I have to get my blood checked today. Let’s go earlier. “By the way, my parents miss you a lot. Why don’t we go back in the afternoon to have lunch with them?”Rain said
The Death of a Passionate Love Chapter 19
When Rain arrived, Widesource Co.’s roof and top floor were full of people. Joshua was standing at the edge of the roof and swaying. Not far away was a police officer who was trying to convince him to step back, along with his parents, who were begging him to not jump. However, Joshua just kept looking down and did not respond to them. Only when Rain arrived did his eyes light up. “Honey!”Rain was panting a bit. After composing herself, she met Joshua’s gaze and asked, “What are you doing, Joshua?”Joshua looked really pitiful. “I don’t want a divorce.”“And you’re using this method to force me not to go through the divorce?”Rain glared at him and clenched her fists. She always knew that Joshua loved Lily to an obsessive and extreme degree. She had once been envious and longed for it. Yet, when that obsessiveness was turned to her, she felt suffocated by it, so much so that anger and disgust rose in her. When the people downstairs kept calling for her to go home with hi

After leaving the balcony, Rain did not go far. She stood at the stairwell and listened to the people pulling Joshua back. It was only after they succeeded that she breathed a sigh of relief.Wind poured in through the partially opened window, and she trembled. Then, she finally realized that her back was drenched in sweat. Fortunately, the outcome of this entire ordeal was still fine. If Joshua had truly jumped, she would have been blamed forever for driving her husband to suicide. With a bitter chuckle, Rain started walking down the stairs, but someone stopped her. “Are you really not going to return to Joshua’s side?”Faye stared straight at Rain and grimly said, “You weren’t lying about what you said on the roof, were you?”Rain ignored her. Faye was never of any importance to her anyway.So, the only thing Faye heard was, “Move.”Anger at being looked down upon rose in her. With a dark expression, Faye opened her mouth to speak, but someone suddenly patted her shoul

Rain chose to travel to a small, foreign town that was known as an art heaven. When her plane landed, it was already 9 p.m.After sleeping through the night, she grabbed her camera and intended to take a stroll outside the next day. But her phone rang at an inopportune moment as if it was a sign of something. When she saw the caller ID, Rain hesitated for a moment, but she still answered the phone in the end. “Anna.”Anna’s voice was choked up. “Rain, Joshua cut his wrists. The doctors just managed to save him, but he’s in a bad mental state. Could you visit him?”Rain scowled. “What happened?”“Some people started badmouthing Joshua online…”Rain asked Anna to wait for a moment so that she could go on Twitter. Joshua’s name was indeed among the top ten trending tags. Someone had exposed the fact that Joshua had chosen to marry Rain even though he loved someone else. That person also uploaded videos of Joshua embarrassing Rain multiple times in public because of Lily. They

Lewis walked up to Rain and said with a smile, “I’m surprised you’re into photography, Ms. Zimmer.”He spoke with an air of familiarity, as though they had known each other for years. The strange feeling she had about him rose again. As she stared at Lewis, her face was one of calm as she asked, “What a coincidence, Mr. Fritz. Are you here on a vacation too?”“Yes.” Lewis continued smiling. “But I’m not here just for fun. I’m here for a certain person.”Rain twitched. In the past, she thought that she was only imagining things, but Lewis was making things clearer at the moment. Everything pointed to one thing: Lewis had feelings for her. Rain was quite surprised, but she changed the subject and pointed at the luggage bag he held. “Where are you staying, Mr. Fritz? Should I send you over?”“Thanks, Ms. Zimmer.” Lewis mentioned the name of the hotel, and it was the exact one Rain was staying at. Rain was stunned once more, but she recovered immediately after and walked down the

Ever since Rain’s friends learned that she would never be back together with Joshua, they stopped talking about him with her. Hence, Rain did not know what had happened to Joshua. Due to Zimmer Corp pulling out of the R8 project, she had been incredibly busy. Since she was not going to agree to Patrick’s demand, her best solution was to find a new partner.However, this was where things got tricky. Only a handful of companies had the technology required for the project. Additionally, the only two companies outside the country did not want to share with Zimmer Corp.Just as Rain decided to go on a business trip abroad, Lewis visited her. “I heard that you’ve been looking for a new business partner. My R&D Department has recently gained a few of the core technologies necessary for the R8 project. Will I have the honor of working together with you?”As he spoke, Lewis brought out the contract he had prepared before the meeting. Rain read the contract, and the division of benefi

They were in a cafe when Patrick said this. Rain’s hands froze around the teapot before she looked at him. “Patrick, you said that you had something to discuss regarding the collaboration between Zimmer Corp and Thompson Corp. If you’re just talking about private matters, I’m sorry, but I have no time for that.”Patrick sighed. “Rain, Joshua is in a terrible state right now. You’re the only one who can help him get back on his feet.”Impatience flared in Rain. First, it was Joshua, then, it was Anna. Even Patrick had come to convince her to get back together with him. She wanted to leave, but she respected Patrick. He had once helped her too, so Rain still forced herself to be patient. “Joshua’s the only one who can get himself back on his feet. No one can help him.”“No.” But Patrick shook his head. “If you return to his side, he’ll regain his confidence.”Finally, Rain’s voice turned cold. “I don’t know how many times I have to repeat myself before I can make you all believe in
