I Let You Down

[Doctor vs. Terminally Ill Patient | Separated by Death, Bittersweet Ending]

For Fu Jinchao, whose parents both had affairs, divorced, and abandoned him when he was twelve, Ye Luo was his lifeline.

He didn’t believe in marriage, but he was willing to marry Ye Luo.

As an adult, Fu Jinchao had only one wish: to marry Ye Luo.

Just when Fu Jinchao thought happiness was within reach, Ye Luo’s illness struck him like a thunderbolt.

Fu Jinchao replied, “She died on my birthday. That was the first day of our marriage.”

“She said she would hold my hand and stay with me until we grew old. I said I would take her to see the romantic avenue of pink cherry blossoms.”

“In the end, she broke her promise to me, and I... broke mine to her.”

After that, the account was never updated again. No one would ever see Suisui safe and well, joining Jinchao in the present. Only the falling leaves of the parasol trees remained, painting everything in sorrow...
