Chapter 5: The secret in memory

Chapter 5: The secret in memory

 Yesterday, Luxstay had a high fever, half awake and half asleep for some reason, and overslept.  When she woke up, she was still holding the notebook in her hand.

 Overnight, her life seemed to shorten a bit.

 Thanks to a scene last night, Luxstay finally knew the answer in his heart.  She didn't blame him, loving him, marrying him was her choice alone.

 After all this time of loving him, what she received in return was only two words "never love".  It's a lie to say that she didn't feel offended, but what right did she have to demand this?  Because from the beginning this marriage was just a contract, she herself had the right to refuse, but Luxstay was like a moth rushing into the fire.

 From the moment she established the contract, she was destined to be the loser.

 "Miss".

 Luxstay looked at Henry from outside, she smiled and replied: 

"Uncle Henry".

 Henry pulled a chair and sat down right next to her bed, his words a bit unnatural: 

"Miss, you really don't need surgery?"

 From his expression, Luxstay soon guessed the purpose of his coming here, she collected a smile on her lips: 

"Uncle Henry, I hope you don't repeat it again about the surgery.  As for my illness, please be clear, no need to be lengthy."

 Luxstay's reaction more or less surprised Henry.  He knew she was strong and resilient, but he never thought that she could be so calm.

Luxstay did not hide from the truth, on the contrary, she wanted to face it.

 From that moment on, Henry knew that admonishing her was really superfluous.  Besides, there was no need for him to hide the truth.

 “Miss, your illness is taking a turn for the worse.  Sudden death can happen at any time, so be careful.  If nothing changes, you only have three months left.” 

When it came to the last words, Henry's voice gradually softened.

 After listening to everything, Luxstay thanked Henry for taking care of her over the past time.  It sounded like a goodbye, she was not sure she had all her life to return.  Although it is said that there were three months left before her death, who would know the future?

 Luxstay stared blankly out the window for a long time.  The winter was cold, the snow was white, just like her heart at that time.

Emma would send someone to pick her up, it's time to go home.

 Let's back home.

 ……

 Luxstay had just set foot in the mansion, and the people also arrived soon after.

 That so-called "home" was actually just a large villa that lacked warmth.  Every day, Luxstay was alone here, very lonely.

 Come to think of it, the past two years had been nothing more than being held under house arrest.  Two years of wasted time, then when she was about to leave the world, she felt regret.

 There were days when it was strangely lonely, Luxstay always used the excuse to go to the garden to breathe fresh air ... then quietly shed tears.

 Whether she was the great lady or the young lady, she still did not have freedom.  From the moment of birth, each person's fate was determined.

 Luxstay was never able to touch happiness in this life, and might finally pass away in the spring of the year she was twenty-one years old.

 After finishing packing, Luxstay followed Emma's arrangement to the airport.

When she arrived at the airport, Emma was already waiting.  According to the weather forecast, it was relatively cold that day. Luxstay especially paid attention to wear a little thick, at least could keep her life longer.

 Because of the day before's incident, there was still animosity between her and him, and both of them did not speak along the way.

 Everything was prepared by Emma in advance.  From check-in to baggage check-in, Luxstay didn't have to worry.

 As usual, he always booked tickets in first class.  Although Emma has his own private jet, this time, for some reason, he did not want to attract the attention of the press.  Recently, Luxstay had heard that Emma's stock price fluctuate sharply.  Although she didn't understand business very well, Emma had told her a few things in the past.  While the stock market fluctuated, even a small movement of the leader could cause the shares of that corporation to drop dramatically.  Perhaps for this reason, Emma was so cautious.

 On the way to the waiting room, Emma suddenly took off his shirt and put it on her, but he continued to hold her hand tightly.

 "You don't need to do that..." Luxstay wanted to return his shirt but was interrupted by him.

 "Don't do that."

 From the time they were at the gate until that moment, they have been surrounded by many reporters.  Luxstay was normally very sensitive, but she didn't notice it at all.

 All of them were acting for reporters, did she have to think it's real?  In the eyes of outsiders, General and Madame were extremely harmonious, making love every day.

 Luxstay unintentionally sneered.

 Because Luxstay arrived quite late, it was close to the flight time, so she and he sat in the waiting room for about ten minutes.  Luxstay did not have a mind to eat and drink, just took a glass of orange juice.

 When boarding the plane, Luxstay wanted to take off his coat and return it to Emma, but he refused.  She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she held onto his coat.

 The seats in first class were designed adjacent to each other, so the person sitting next to them could see each other.

 Emma saw Luxstay trying to dodge, he took the initiative to say: 

"Mom really wants to see you, this time we will stay at my mother's mansion."

 It turned out that the purpose of this trip was to act in front of his mother, to be a loving couple.

 "Okay."  

If he wanted to act, she would act with him.

 After saying that, Luxstay closed her eyes and took care of herself.  Just a moment ago, acting with him had consumed a lot of her blood.  Her body was severely weakened at that time.  At least she didn't want to die in front of him.  In this life, she did not have his heart, and when she died, she did not want to show a pitiful and thin appearance.

 Emma put one hand on his chin to look at Luxstay with the other hand, he pulled the blanket up for her.  This little girl was still kicking the blanket while sleeping.

 For the past two years, he had been coming home often.  But only when she was asleep, and then left before she woke up.

 He knew that every night she was alone, even in her dreams, tears would not stop flowing.  It's just that Emma couldn't soften his heart, until everything was over, he wouldn't let go of Luxstay.

 It seemed that her face was a bit pale, and her body was also a little smaller.

 Why was she so thin?

Luxstay suddenly moved, she grabbed his sleeve, unconsciously muttering: 

"Emma... don't go."

 Her soft voice made Emma momentarily confused.  He took the initiative to take her small hand and whispered:

 "I'm not going, I'm here with you."

 The flowers bloomed so brilliantly that year.  At that time, the petals were leaning on the wind, drifting back to the source.  Luxstay of any year, brightly smiled in the flower field, then those flowers could not overshadow her beauty.

 In an instant, the little girl became his wife. From a young lady, pampered and spoiled, she became calm, less talkative, and began to be patient.

Emma would not love her.  In his heart, there was only one person, originally.
