Later, I made a deal with Lu Jingtian. I agreed to divorce, and he would help me pretend, allowing my mom to leave in peace. He agreed readily. My heart was completely dead. It was filled with disappointment, anger, and sadness, almost ready to explode.
Soon, Lu Jingtian arrived at the hospital. I walked into the ward with him and saw my mom. She had become so thin that she was just skin and bones, lying on the hospital bed, looking withered. When she saw us, she revealed a kind smile: "Jingtian, you’re here."
Lu Jingtian nodded and smiled, saying, "Auntie, I came to see you."
"Please sit," my mom said warmly. "I heard from Xiao Inn that you are going to have an art exhibition?"
"Yes."
"That's great," my mom said with relief. "You have potential; you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
She then turned to Li Ying and said, " Xiao Inn, you need to take good care of Jingtian from now on."
"Jingtian is a good kid; you both must live well together."
Li Ying forced a smile and replied, "I understand, Mom."
My mom continued, "Jingtian, you should also take care of Xiao Inn. She has a stubborn personality, but don’t get angry with her."
"Even though she doesn’t say it, she cares about you very much. Don’t let her down."
Lu Jingtian smiled and said, "Auntie, don’t worry; I will treat Xiao Inn well."
"That’s good," my mom sighed in relief, her face showing a smile. "Seeing you both doing well makes me really happy."
"Mom, what are you so happy about? I just opened an art exhibition; it’s not like I won a Nobel Prize."
"It’s different; you used to struggle all the time..."
"Now someone finally appreciates you, and Xiao Inn doesn't have to suffer alongside you anymore."
My mom sighed and said softly, "I just feel sorry for Xiao Inn. She hasn't enjoyed a single day of happiness with you."
"Mom, please stop!"
Tears couldn't help but fall from my eyes.
I felt very upset.
Over the years, I really hadn't let my mom enjoy life.
Both she and my dad are farmers, spending their whole lives in the village without seeing much of the world.
Her biggest wish was for me to marry a good man and live a good life.
But now, I wasn't happy at all.
My mom wiped my tears and smiled, saying, "Silly child, why are you crying? Mom is happy."
"Mom, please stop!"
I couldn't hold back any longer and covered my face as I cried.
My mom sighed and said softly, " Xiao Inn, my biggest regret in this life is not seeing you get married."
"But seeing you so happy with Lu Jingtian makes me feel at ease."
"Mom, please stop..."
I was already sobbing uncontrollably.
My mom intertwined my hand with Lu Jingtian's and smiled, saying, "You two need to get along well and never be apart in this lifetime."
"Mom, please stop..."
I was crying so hard I could barely catch my breath.
Lu Jingtian held me close and gently wiped away my tears.
In that moment, I felt a bit dazed.
It was as if I saw the eighteen-year-old Lu Jingtian from years ago.
Sunshine, handsome, gentle and caring.
He treated me so well, taking care of me in every way and protecting me.
I accompanied him to sketch, helped him carry his easel, and posed for him as a model.
I washed his clothes, cleaned his socks, and tidied up the room.
We watched movies together and enjoyed sunrises and sunsets together.
We dreamed of the future and imagined our life ahead.
At that time, we were so beautiful.
After leaving the hospital, I walked hand in hand with Lu Jingtian on the street.
His palm was very warm, and I cherished this warmth, reluctant to let go.
A ridiculous thought surged in my mind.
What if we didn't get divorced?
At that moment, Lu Jingtian's phone rang.
He answered a call.
A girl's voice came from the other end.
"Jingtian, where are you? I miss you."
It was Meng Shasha.
Lu Jingtian frowned slightly and said, "I'm busy right now; I'll call you back later."
"Don't! I want to talk to you now."
"Be good, don't make a fuss."
"I want to make a fuss; you can't ignore me."
Lu Jingtian sounded a bit impatient: "I told you I'm busy; I'll call you back later."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
His attitude was cold, completely different from just moments ago.
I felt a bit dazed.
Is this really the Lu Jingtian I married fifteen years ago?
How could he have changed like this?
Lu Jingtian said, "Your mom is not well; how about we wait a while before discussing the divorce?"
I finally came to my senses.
I nodded and said, "Okay."
