She Felt More Responsible

Later, he returned to school.

Qiao Chen had changed a lot after returning to school. He had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. Moreover, he couldn't attend physical education classes anymore.

When Shen Xin saw him again, she was no longer angry.

Her heart ached.

She'd asked him about his illness before, but he hadn't said anything.

"Heart disease." Qiao Chen had nothing to hide now. "I didn't even know how long I'd live, so I couldn't agree to be with you."

"Heart disease?" Shen Xin widened her eyes in shock.

"Mm." Qiao Chen nodded. "But I'll be fine after undergoing surgery."

Shen Xin's heart tightened. It was because of his words that the invisible hand holding her heart slowly relaxed.

"Your heart disease… can be cured by surgery?"

"Sure." Qiao Chen nodded. "When the time comes, Brother-in-law will be my chief surgeon. He told me that I can be normal after the surgery."
