After Fleeing the Capital, My Ex-Husband Begs Me for Alms

[Rekindled Love × Angsty Romance] On the day she graduated from college, she sentenced their love to death with her own hands. She fabricated an ugly “affair,” ignored the burning sincerity in his eyes as he held out a diamond ring, and resolutely disappeared from the capital, fleeing to Yuncheng a thousand miles away. Only she knew it wasn’t betrayal, but despair. The curse of her family’s hereditary disease had awakened inside her, and just as it had taken her father, the doctors had given her a terminal diagnosis. She couldn’t let him spend the rest of his life watching the person he loved fade away. She thought the mountains and seas between them would be enough, and that time would make him forget. But he pursued her to Yuncheng like a man possessed. When she pushed him away in terror once more, she said, “I love someone else. Stop bothering me!” Once a proud, brilliant young man, he now looked utterly wretched, his eyes red as he clutched her sleeve. His voice was hoarse and broken. “I know... I know you love him.” “I’m not asking for much... Just give me 10 percent. Just 10 percent of your love and your time... Please?” “I’m begging you... Give me that much.” Her lies began to crumble beneath his humble pleas. This escape in the name of love would eventually collide with the sacrifice he was determined to make with every fiber of his being. How could she tell him that every moment of her hurried flight from the capital had been marked with his name? And how could she let him share the burden of her terminal illness?
