When Lin Nuan Nuan woke up again, it had already been three days.
"You're awake?" Ji Mingyu stood by the bed, his expression complicated.
"Mm..." She weakly nodded. "Did I faint again?"
Ji Mingyu was silent for a moment. "Your heart almost stopped beating."
"So what?"
"So..." He took a deep breath. "We found a matching heart."
Lin Nuan Nuan was stunned. "So soon?"
The other party requested to remain anonymous for the donation. Ji Mingyu averted his gaze. "The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning."
But Lin Nuan Nuan shook her head. "I won't do it."
"Why not?"
"I told you, I'm tired."
Suddenly, Ji Mingyu grasped her hand. "What if I told you the donor is Huo Jing Shen?"
Lin Nuan Nuan's pupils constricted sharply. "What did you say?"
"He wants to use his heart to keep you alive."
"Impossible..."
"He has already signed the agreement," Ji Mingyu said, "just during the three days you were unconscious."
"Has he lost his mind?" Lin Nuan Nuan's voice trembled.
"He said..." Ji Mingyu paused, "he said that this way, his heart can beat for you forever."
Lin Nuan Nuan closed her eyes, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.
"Bastard..." she murmured, "how dare you do this..."
The door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Huo Jing Shen walked in.
Seeing Lin Nuan Nuan's tears, he felt a pang of heartache and reached out to wipe them away, but she turned her head to avoid him.
"Why did you do this?" Lin Nuan Nuan asked, her voice choked with emotion.
Huo Jing Shen replied softly, "Because I owe you a true heart."
"Do you think this will make me forgive you?"
"No," he shook his head, "I just want you to live."
Lin Nuan Nuan suddenly laughed. "Huo Jing Shen, you're still so selfish."
"Do you think I could live with peace of mind while carrying the weight of your death?"
"Do you think I would be touched by this?" Her voice grew colder. "You're just trying to get back at me!"
Huo Jing Shen was taken aback. "Nuan Nuan..."
"Don't call me Nuan Nuan!" she screamed. "You're just getting back at me for not forgiving you!"
"You want me to live the rest of my life in guilt!"
"You..."
The alarm of the ECG blared again.
Lin Nuan Nuan clutched her chest, gasping for breath.
Ji Mingyu rushed forward. "Get the sedative quickly!"
Huo Jing Shen was pushed out of the room by the nurse, but he could still hear Lin Nuan Nuan's cries:
"I hate you..."
"Huo Jing Shen, this time, I truly hate you..."
Outside the operating room, Huo Jing Shen sat on a bench.
"Have you really made up your mind?" Ji Mingyu asked.
Huo Jing Shen nodded. "I've arranged everything."
"The company is handed over to my assistant, and all assets have been transferred to Nuan Nuan's name."
Ji Mingyu sighed. "Do you really think she will accept it?"
"She will," Huo Jing Shen said softly, "because she is far kinder than I am."
He pulled a letter from his pocket. "If the surgery is successful, please give this to her."
Ji Mingyu took the letter and suddenly asked, "Do you regret it?"
"Regret what?"
"Regretting believing in Su Jin and hurting Nuan Nuan."
Huo Jing Shen closed his eyes. "If it weren't for my foolishness, she wouldn't be in this condition."
"So this time..." He opened his eyes, determination shining through. "Let me repay with my life."
"Let my heart beat for her forever."
"Let her live, even if it means carrying the memories of hating me."
The nurse stepped out. "Mr. Huo, it's time to prepare."
Huo Jing Shen stood up and took one last look at Lin Nuan Nuan's hospital room.
This time, let his heart bear all the pain for her.
