Chapter 2059: 1988 Are You Seeing Someone Else? (Monthly Ticket 61500 Bonus Chapter ×123)

Section Chief Mao lay on the hospital bed, staring at the pure white ceiling, spacing out.

After high-dose cortical Hormone shock therapy, her dry syndrome and other illnesses have improved.

But her mouth full of teeth, ravaged by cavities, is unbearable to look at.

Before falling ill, she had always paid attention to her figure. Although in her forties, she still looked like a woman just turned thirty.

Now...... it's completely unbearable to look at.

Cortical Hormone shock therapy, obvious side effects, plus constantly lying down without activity, she gained a layer of fat.

Her life has gone from colorful to grayish-white.

What wealth and honor, what imperial ambitions, all end up empty in the end.

"Dear, have a drink of water." Her lover said softly.

Section Chief Mao remained motionless, she had already given up all thoughts; the frequent blows she'd suffered recently brought her to the brink…… already beginning to collapse.

"Dear......"

"Don't call me dear, whose voiceless WeChat message did you receive yesterday?" Section Chief Mao lay in bed, speaking in a hoarse voice.

She was merely stating a fact, without joy or anger. If her eyeballs didn't occasionally twitch, she'd be like a talking corpse.

"……" Her lover stared for a moment.

"Seeing my health deteriorate, you must have gone out to find a little slut, right?" Section Chief Mao said: "Do you now especially wish I would just die, so you wouldn't be burdened?"

"……"

Upon hearing that, her lover didn't know how to respond. Even if he thought otherwise, he couldn't say it wasn't so.

After a few seconds, he immediately explained: "I didn't receive any WeChat message; maybe it's a class group with notifications turned off, you misunderstood."

"Misunderstood?!!" Section Chief Mao's repressed emotions instantly swung to the opposite extreme: "I've become like this, and you shave every day and wear a tie! If there weren't a little slut outside, why would you groom yourself?"

Her lover froze, then gave a wry smile: "I have to go to work, when meeting clients I……"

"Clients!" Section Chief Mao snapped: "They must be female clients, aren't you two flirting?"

Her lover was speechless, like trying to wake someone pretending to sleep; he could never make her understand reason.

It used to be like this; now that she's ill, her temper is even more explosive, making it hard for him to get a word in.

Reasoning? Her lover never dared to hope for that.

If we could reason…… forget it, just endure and it'll pass. Maybe if her condition improves a bit, her temper will too.

"Have a drink of water." He tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible, so as not to stimulate Mao Mao.

"You want to anger me to death." Section Chief Mao looked at her lover; her mouth full of cavities made her look so ferocious.

"……"

This life really can't go on.

Her lover sighed, feeling stifled, a mouthful of old blood held in his throat, just short of spitting it out.

But he really hadn't been exchanging glances with anyone; hearing Section Chief Mao say that, he felt a surge of resentment.

Sick people are all anxious; her lover consoled himself. Maybe it'll get better in a few days, soon, soon.

Although he also knew this was utterly impossible.

He knew exactly what kind of person his lover was. Over the years, there had rarely been times when she gave him a pleasant face.

When she didn't bring it up, he said she despised her. When she did bring it up, he looked at her with an expression full of contempt, thinking himself incompetent, dragging her down.

Sigh, who let himself be tempted by beauty back then.

Back then he was still too young, thinking that the dreamt-of beauty would let him tolerate her temper for a lifetime.

But living this life has been truly stifling, stifling to the point of wanting to die; if there is a next life, he certainly won't be like this.

Seeing her lover say not a word, Section Chief Mao shook with anger, pointing at her lover and shouting: "You don't speak! Indeed, I was right—you really dare to have someone outside!"

"Not……"

"Nothing at all! Still dare to talk back! No reason not to speak!" Section Chief Mao quickly shifted her speech logic to her familiar rhythm, and with rich experience instantly crushed her lover.

Really, there's nothing to say; whatever you say is wrong.

Her lover lowered his head, looking at the water cup in his hand. The water rippled gently, unsure whether it was because his hand trembled slightly or because her voice was a bit loud.

"Come on, speak up!" Section Chief Mao's voice grew increasingly sharp.

Her dry syndrome had just improved, but speaking a lot made her mouth dry again, as if holding a mouthful of stones.

"You…… don't be angry, drink some water, drink some water." Her lover had no better idea, so he uttered some nonsense to ease the awkwardness.

Having been scolded by her pointing at his nose all his life, her lover was also helpless.

"Drink water! Is there medicine in the water!" Section Chief Mao shrieked sharply: "If I drink it and die, you'll be relieved, go find your little slut."

Saying that, Section Chief Mao snatched the water cup.

Half a cup of water spilled on the bed, she became even more furious: "You! Dare to splash water on me!"

"……"

Her lover felt bitter inside, this is all over the place, what's with what.

He blankly stared at the bright, glaring mouthful of cavities before him, suddenly a wave of nausea rose in his chest.

The more Section Chief Mao spoke, the angrier she got; the hand holding the water cup trembled incessantly. She tried to control it, but found that the harder she tried, the worse the trembling became.

Her right hand seemed to disobey orders, shaking like a sieve.

"Ah~~" Section Chief Mao let out a sharp scream!

Her lover stared for a moment, wondering what she was about to do; even if he splashed her, it wouldn't spill all the water, would it?

Now it's great, again causing trouble for the nurses to change the sheets.

No nannies or caregivers are willing to come anymore; even if the hospital mandates it, after half a day they'd rather quit than continue suffering here.

He himself had no recourse.

Thinking and thinking, Section Chief Mao's lover drifted off.

Before his eyes, Section Chief Mao's hand trembled more and more violently; soon he lost consciousness, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted.

Er...

Section Chief Mao's lover first stared blankly; his first thought was not to shout for help, but rather, what was she doing again?

Could it be that she wanted to prove the water was poisonous?

Upon thinking of this, Section Chief Mao's lover's heart jolted violently.

He almost choked up; a few harsh words between spouses would be fine, but he couldn't admit he had poisoned!

That would be a crime.

But after only a few seconds, Section Chief Mao's lover realized he had been mistaken.

"Mao Mao!" Section Chief Mao's lover called out softly.

He didn't dare speak loudly, otherwise Section Chief Mao would soon point at his nose and say, "You dare yell at me!"
