Come back to Me, My Ex-Wife novel Chapter 39

Vivian did not sleep peacefully. She pretended to sleep when she heard Golden entering the room, and kept her hands in the position of covering Layne with a quilt.

At this moment, she felt that he put his clothes on her shoulders, and she felt sweet, pretending to be awakened and looked up at him tenderly. "Golden, you have finished your work? Have you had dinner?"

She was always gentle and elegant in front of him, and always maintained a perfect look.

Golden stared into her gentle face and said slowly, "Layne's sleeping. Let's go out and talk."

If Margery is the Margery five years ago, there was something he must get rid of as soon as possible!

Vivian was slightly stunned. She did not know why Golden was anxious to talk to her. Her intuition told her that it was not something good, but in order to maintain her gentle image, she walked out of the ward with Golden.

***

In a quiet corner of the corridor.

With narrowed eyes and long fingers holding a freshly lit cigarette, Golden's handsome silhouette was shrouded in smoke. He was more and more charming and fascinated numerous women.

Touching his perfect face, Vivian's heart beat faster. "Golden, what do you want to talk about?"

Was he going to talk what she was most willing to hear?

For five years, she had taken care of Layne with all her heart, including what she had pretended to do just now.

He was so touched by her gentleness that he finally decided to marry her and let her be Mrs. Barrett?

Thinking of this, Vivian raised her soft face, filled with joy.

The next second, what the man said also sent her into the abyss, while the joy was still on her face.

She heard him say, in a low, cruel voice, "Vivian, from tomorrow on, please leave me!"

It was totally different from what she had in mind.

It was more than she could imagine and more than she could bear.

Vivian felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, overwhelmed by the pain.

She shook her head in disbelief. "Golden, what did you say? I'm sorry. What did you just say? I didn't catch you. I beg your pardon?"

Golden frowned and patiently repeated, "Vivian, from tomorrow on, please leave me!"

Vivian could not stand it any longer and flung herself into his arms, her lips trembling and tears streaming down her face.

"Why? Golden, why do you want me to go?"

Seeing that she was so sad and couldn't accept it, Golden sighed softly with a cigarette in his hand and said, "My disease is incurable. I should not delay you for a lifetime."

"No! I won't go. I won't leave you!"

Vivian raised her eyes and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Golden, I love you. I fell in love with you ever when you put that piece of jade on my neck by the lake in the park twenty-five years ago. I love no one but you, and now you ask me to leave you. It's killing me."

Her affectionate sobbing made Golden's heart ache.

After a few seconds, he closed his eyes, collected his sense, and then said, "It's been five years. I have tried all the methods to cure my disease, but failed. Because you love me, I can't hurt you for selfish gains."

"No, it isn't! Golden, it won't hurt me to stay with you! To push me away from you and never have you again is what really hurts me. Golden, I can't live without you, and I can't lose you! I have loved you for more than twenty years. I can't let you go. Will you stop talking about it? My heart is aching, and I feel painful!"
