Semua Bab The Death of a Passionate Love: Bab 11 - Bab 20

The room sank into a dead silence. Joshua glanced at every single person in the room with an icy glare. Then, he punched the man who had been insulting Rain the worst. The man immediately screamed in pain and cradled his face. He was furious, but he dared not say anything about it. Joshua ignored him and glanced at them once more before glaring at Faye. “Who told you that I’m single?”Faye looked embarrassed. “Don’t be mad, Joshua. I—”“Before you make such assumptions, you should figure out if you even have the right to do so.” Joshua never showed any respect for anyone when he was furious. When Faye’s face turned pale, he coldly said, “I’ve only signed the divorce papers with Rain, and we haven’t gone through with the divorce. We’re still married, and you’re insulting her in front of me?“Even if I really have divorced her, who are you to insult her that way?!”The others fell silent. No one dared to make a single peep.Their statuses were much lower than Joshua’s in terms

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

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

“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

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
