“Erm...” Luo Xiuen mused as she stroked the bottom of her chin. “That’s a good plan. Let’s try it out.”

“Phew—” Cheng Yi let out a huge sigh of relief.

As Jian Yiling laid on the bed, she couldn’t help but think of the series of events that happened in the original novel. Now that the operation was successful, would the plot of the original novel be altered?

Would this change her ultimate fate?

Even if it didn’t, at the very least, Jian Yunnao wouldn’t be as moody and depressed as before.

Furthermore, as of now, Jian Yujie still was still optimistic and full of hope.

So, she’s probably changed things, right?

Gradually, Jian Yiling drifted to sleep as she was incredibly tired from the operation.

In her dreams, Jian Yiling saw the familiar ward again. It was the ward in the original novel where Jian Yiling had died.

In that dream, doctors and nurses walked in and out of the room. They looked at her with sympathetic eyes.

After a while, the door of the ward opened again. This time, a man came in.

Jian Yiling saw the man’s face quite clearly. He had an arrogant expression and a seemingly casual posture.

That man was Zhai Yunsheng.

He stood across Jian Yiling’s bed and looked at her.

“So you’re the Jian Yiling who was obsessed with Qin Chuan? I heard that under Qin Chuan’s influence, you got kicked out of the Jian family.”

Everyone in the capital knew that the current head of the Qin family was Qin Chuan. They knew that he was a man who would do anything for the woman he loved.

And thus, to protect the woman he loved, he gave an ultimatum to the Jian family. He demanded them to cut off all ties with Jian Yiling. The original Jian Yiling had tried to harm his fiancee Mo Shiyun. And if they didn’t listen to his demands, he would destroy the Jian family.

“Who are you?”

Jian Yiling’s voice was incredibly weak as she was close to her death.

“Zhai Yunsheng. I’ve had a few matters to settle with the man that you love and hate the most. I came to the hospital today to settle some business matters. Coincidentally, I heard that the girl who was once obsessed with Qin Chuan was hospitalized here. I’ve also heard that you’re already basically half dead. And thus, I decided to come by and take a look.”

“So it’s you. I’ve heard of your name before,” Jian Yiling replied. Her pale face had no emotions.

Death was near. Nothing could make her sad or happy anymore.

“It looks like you don’t have long to live. Do you regret what you’ve done?”

Before Zhai Yunsheng came in, he asked the doctors about Jian Yiling’s condition. The doctor had said that Jian Yiling was in her final stage of cancer. It was impossible to save her.

Jian Yiling stared at Zhai Yunsheng. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth to speak, “Is there any use in regretting? I’ve done so many bad things. And all of them are related to my feelings. In my next life, I would rather be a person who doesn’t know or understand love and affection. I don’t want to love anyone. I don’t want to care about anyone anymore.

...

“Yiling?”

Halfway through her dream, Jian Yiling was suddenly awakened by Cheng Yi’s voice. His voice brought her back to reality.

“Yiling? Are you okay? You have so much sweat on your forehead.”

After seeing the cold sweat on Jian Yiling’s forehead, Cheng Yi decided to wake her up.

Jian Yiling raised her hand and placed it against her forehead. It was indeed cold sweat.

“I’m fine,” Jian Yiling replied. She didn’t want Cheng Yi to worry about her. And furthermore, she was actually okay.

She had just dreamt about strange things.

As Jian Yiling was recovering, Jian Yunnao had also woken up.

The first thing he asked when he woke up was about the condition of his hand.

“The surgery. Was it successful?” Jian Yunnao asked. He couldn’t hide the nervousness in his voice.

It was Jian Shuxing who replied to his son. “It was successful. The doctors said the operation was incredibly successful. After you recover from the operation, you need to do some rehabilitation exercises for a period of time. After that, you’ll be able to use your hand again.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yunnao’s eyes filled with tears.

And this time, it was tears of happiness.
