Chapter 765: Final Act Of Mercy
Translator: Lordbluefire
Why were people independent individuals?
How do we differentiate between individuals?
The biggest difference between Chu Cichen and Song Chen was their experiences over the past six years.
Song Chen had developed his own independent personality.
If Song Chen was willing to accept Chu Cichen’s memories and overwrite his own, then Song Chen will no longer be Song Chen, but rather, the second Chu Cichen. It can even be said that he would become an extension of Chu Cichen…
Song Chen tightened his jaw.
Seeing Song Chen like this, Chu Cichen lowered his gaze and said, “Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Six years ago, Song Chen was himself. How could he allow his future self to take over his body?
Chu Cichen looked towards the ward door. “These days, you’ve been with me all the time. I will tell you how I am different from six years ago. We will strive and make it so that you won’t show any flaws in front of Jingjing anymore…”
Before finishing his sentence, he suddenly heard Song Chen’s voice in his ears, “I’m willing.”
Chu Cichen paused slightly and looked at him again.
He saw Song Chen staring at him with determined eyes and said, “I’ve said it before, there is no one in this world who loves her more than I do. 1 am you from six years ago, but when Jing Zhen input your memory data into me, he added something – I will love her forever. So, I love her more than you do. If you can give up the woman you love for her, then I can also become you for her!”
Song Chen’s words were sincere, making Chu Cichen clenched his jaw.
He nodded and said, “Okay.”
After speaking, he seemed to have lost his strength.
Chu Cichen’s face grew paler, and a bluish tint appeared on his lips. It was evident that the poison had taken its toll, and he didn’t have much time left.
He coughed again and said, “You can go now. I will contact my father-in-law, and he will call you when the time comes.”
Song Chen nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, the man behind him suddenly spoke again, “During this period, don’t reveal anything.”
“Don’t worry.”
After Song Chen finished speaking, instead of leaving, he stood at the door for a long time. He suddenly turned back to look at Chu Cichen and asked a question, “Do you regret it?”
“What?” Chu Cichen asked.
“Do you regret sacrificing yourself and saving her back then?”
Chu Cichen smiled. His narrow phoenix eyes suddenly became profound, and he slowly replied, “Isn’t this what you expected?”
Song Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Chu Cichen, but the man seemed to have not said anything to him, as if he was whispering to himself.
It made him momentarily doubt if he had misheard.
He narrowed his eyes and then heard Chu Cichen’s words again, “I have never regretted it.”
“Never regretted it.”
Song Chen paused, and he suddenly lowered his gaze. “You should come to the wedding.”
The man behind him fell silent for a moment and replied, “…Alright.”
He turned and left the ward.
After opening the door, he saw Lu Cheng with red eyes, crying.
At this moment, Lu Cheng paid no attention to him. He forced a smile on his face, saying, “Bro Chen, do you want anything to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
Lu Cheng walked past Song Chen and entered the ward without looking at him once.
Song Chen turned his head to look at Lu Cheng, but quickly averted his gaze and closed the hospital room door for them.
Afterward, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Song Chen’s lips.
Even though Chu Cichen would appear at the wedding, it didn’t matter because from this moment on, Jingjing belonged to him alone. So, he considered that wedding as a gift to Chu Cichen.
Neither of the two people in the hospital room noticed that smile.
At that moment, Lu Cheng helped Chu Cichen to stand up from the bed.
Chu Cichen had poor lung function and would start gasping for breath after walking just a few steps, but he insisted on continuing.
Lu Cheng spoke up, “Bro Chen, stop practicing…”
“No,” Chu Cichen took a deep breath, “I promised her that 1 would give her a surprise at the wedding.”
Lu Cheng’s eyes welled up with tears again, “But your health…”
“I’m fine,” Chu Cichen’s voice was resolute.
Lu Cheng stayed by Chu Cichen’s side, walking countless steps with him in the hospital until Chu Cichen’s body couldn’t take it anymore.
After Chu Cichen fell asleep, Lu Cheng suddenly stood up.
He looked at the emaciated man on the hospital bed, now looking so much like Song Chen, and an indescribable pain filled his heart.
Especially since this man was about to hand over Lu Cheng’s most beloved woman to another man…
Just the thought of it was like a knife stabbing his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
He suddenly stood up and walked swiftly towards the exit of the hospital room.
He wanted to go and tell Lord Jing that she couldn’t let Bro Chen have any regrets in his final moments of life!
Lu Cheng rushed all the way and arrived at the Chu Manor. The security let him through, so Lu Cheng parked his car in the parking lot and entered the room directly.
As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Ruojing sitting on the sofa, staring at Chu Xiaomeng as she practiced calligraphy.
Lu Cheng’s eyes instantly turned red.
When Shen Ruojing saw him, she seemed a bit surprised and stood up, “Why are you here? Do you have something to say?”
Those words caused Lu Cheng to choke up once again. He felt like a child facing their parents and cried out with grievance, “Lord Jing….”
