Julissa Spears sobbed in her husbandâs arms.
âNo, itâs unbearable.
Let me die.
Iâm beyond help.
Everything theyâve tried is useless.
â
Embracing his wife tightly, Jayson feared he would lose his love right then and there.
Despondently, he said, âDonât lose hope.
If you keep up with the treatment, you can recover.
Please donât give up.
We will have money once we sell the house.
â
âLet me go.
I donât want to continue the treatment.
Use the money from the house to produce the movie.
Thatâs been your dream for years, but itâs been derailed because of me.
Iâll feel guilty even in death.
â Julissaâs eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Jaysonâs tired face.
She reached out and touched his face.
Her hand was bruised and had needle marks from blood tests and infusions.
Unable to help himself, Jayson trembled.
Lowering his head, he tenderly ki*sed his wifeâs forehead.
âPlease, donât say that.
I love you deeply.
You mean everything to me.
I want to be with you forever.
â
âAre you ready to leave? This ward will be needed soon.
Move to the corridor quickly.
â The blue-clad nurse reentered, urging them to hurry.
Upon hearing this, Julissa buried her face in Jaysonâs arms, sobbing anew.
âNo, I donât want to be seen like this in the corridor.
I look so hideous.
Please.
â
Jaysonâs heart ached, and his eyes reddened.
Pleading with the nurse, he swallowed his pride.
âPlease, make an exception.
Iâll find a way to pay the fees.
Can you give me more time? Donât force my wife into the corridor.
Please.
â
The nurse hesitated for a moment, and despite feeling sympathetic, she still couldnât offer a solution.
âThe hospital made this decision.
I canât do anything about it.
Unless you can settle the billâ¦â
âThe bill is paid.
This ward and the patientâs treatment fees are covered.
â
Suddenly, a clear female voice caught everyoneâs attention, and they turned to look toward the door.
Ariana stood there, having used her salary and the bonus earned from reviving Sarahâs career to pay off all the debt Jayson owed the hospital.
Since the nurse had never seen Ariana before, she asked, âWhatâs your relationship with the patient?â

âIâm Jaysonâs friend.
Iâm the one who paid all the medical fees.
You can check that at reception.
â Ariana gave the nurse a polite smile as she calmly walked into the ward.
The nurse still had doubts though.
However, she chose not to ask more and left the ward.
Jaysonâs shoulders were slumped and he seemed to have no energy left in him.
Despite that, he picked up his wife and put her on the bed to rest.
Julissa was now too tired to struggle anymore.
She remained still and just wept in a low voice.
Holding her hand, Jayson stayed beside her to comfort her.
âJayson, Iâm so sorry.
Youâre in this situation because of me.
Iâm so useless.
How can I get ill like this? Just forget about me and go live your own life.
You should be chasing your dreams instead of taking care of me.
â With her eyes closed, Julissa sobbed and begged Jayson to leave her alone in a miserable voice.
However, Jayson had no intention of abandoning his wife and he comforted her gently, âItâs okay.
Everything will be okay.
It wonât hurt anymore when you wake up.
Stop saying such things okay? You are not a burden to me.
My only dream now is to help you get better.
Please donât give up.
â
Meanwhile, Ariana was standing in the corner, waiting quietly.
Before she came here, Horace had told her the situation might not be good, but it turned out to be way worse than she had expected.
