You Are My Unforgettable Love

The doctor said, “If you had arrived five minutes later, she would have lost her life! Although we’ve managed to keep her alive, whether she wakes up is no longer up to us.”

–

In the ward.

Xia Nuannuan lay on the hospital bed.

Shen Zihao sat next to her, looking as though he had lost his soul.

Dad Xia and Mom Xia did not have much left in them after the fright they had gotten. They sat there with a blank look.

Xia Yehua had gone back to Xia Nuannuan’s apartment to tidy up. After all, a life had almost been lost and someone had called the police when she had been carried out of the building covered in blood.

Xia Yehua had taken care of the police before coming back to the hospital.

Holding out a letter to Shen Zihao, she said, “This is from Nuannuan.”

Shen Zihao was stunned.

“It was on her desk. I saw it and brought it for you.”

He lowered his head as he took the envelope in his hand.

Written on it were the words: For Zihao.

When he saw his name written with her handwriting, he felt a deep pain in his heart.

He opened the envelope and drew out the letter enclosed in it.

Then he read its content.

[Zihao,

By the time you read this letter, I’ll probably be gone.

I know that I’ve chosen perhaps the toughest way out and left you bearing the pain, I’m sorry.

But I didn’t have much of a choice.

Mei Feng threatened that if I didn’t marry Liu Haiyang, then no matter where I went in the future, she’d make sure to hunt me down. I’m not afraid to bear a sullied reputation, but I can’t let my parents, who brought me up, suffer along with me.

I’m sure you understand the horror of Internet violence too well.

So I’m sorry.

There has never been anything going on between Liu Haiyang and me, and I hope you believe me now.

There’s something else too…

You once said that Mom had chosen to leave the Shen family without taking a penny from them because she was guilty.

But now I also feel that if I could leave the Shen family with a spotless reputation, I’d be happy to do so without taking a single cent from them.

Zihao, do you really think you can keep staying with such a family?

Zihao, no matter what, we were husband and wife in this lifetime, so I beg of you, please look after my parents and tell them that if there is a next life, their unfilial daughter Xia Nuannuan will repay them for all that they have done to bring me up.

This is my last wish.

Zihao, farewell.]

There water stains all over the letter. Obviously, she had been crying as she wrote it.

Shen Zihao’s eyes teared after reading the letter.

As they said, a man would not easily shed a tear if it did not hurt enough.

At that moment, he felt his heart tearing apart and it was so painful he could hardly breathe.

This was what Nuannuan was like…

Even as she had been about to face death, she had tried to reconcile things between him and Xia Yehua.

With great sorrow, Shen Zihao held the letter and buried his face in his hands. His tears dropped on the letter, ran along the paper and fell on the ground. It was different from Mom Xia’s heart-wrenching cries. His cries were repressed and heavy. This was the first time that he had shed tears since he had turned 20. Yet now, he cried like a child.

And in a corner of the room, Shen Haiyand, who had been in a daze since the whole episode had taken place, finally started to sob uncontrollably.

It was as though he had finally understood something. With a loud thud, he dropped to his knees saying, “Nuannuan, I’ve let you down!”

His tears started to fall.

He cried, “Uncle, Aunty, I’ve let you down!”

With a vigorous downward motion he kowtowed deeply, knocking his forehead against the ground so hard that a bruise appeared.

“Nuannuan and I were never together! It was all a plot that Mei Feng and I came up with.”
