I Refused to Die, and He Was Shocked Chapter 2

Just one sentence, and Andrew already seemed displeased. He frowned slightly. "Yolanda, watch your tone. Secretary Thorne is just stating facts; she has no other intentions."

"You're too used to being a spoiled rich girl, looking down on people. You'd best get rid of that nasty habit quickly."

Already burdened with two lifetimes of grievances, my patience snapped.

"I won't change. You're practically dying, what right do you have to dictate my temper?!"

"You care if your secretary feels wronged, but you don't care if your wife will have no one to depend on and suffer hardships in the future, Andrew Stevens, you bastard, you have no conscience."

Serena couldn't help but step forward. "Miss Dawson, that's not right. Mr. Stevens is ill, how can you still yell at him?"

I glared at her, then saw Andrew's expression, and held back my words. For the sake of the money, my tone softened after all.

"Honey, I wasn't trying to lose my temper. It's just that your health isn't good, and I was worried you couldn't handle everything, which is why I made that suggestion."

"But I didn't expect you to yell at me for your secretary. You hurt me deeply."

"I'll go back first. Let's both cool down. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

With that, I turned and walked away, leaving Andrew stunned.

Even after leaving the hospital room, my heart still felt heavy. After all, I had truly loved Andrew Stevens.

In the past life, when Andrew was first diagnosed with cancer, he uncharacteristically clasped my hand, his voice deep, and told me, "Don't be afraid, Yolanda, I'll fight to live."

"I love you, I can't live without you. For our future, I will definitely fight this illness."

His hand trembled slightly, and he was no longer as aloof as before.

I cried with emotion, thinking my love had finally been returned.

But I never imagined that while Andrew spoke to me, his gaze lingered on his ever-present secretary in the hospital room.

It was only after I died that I realized Andrew had played a clever game of 'under the lamplight.' The divorced female secretary he always kept by his side was Serena Thorne, his high school sweetheart, the "moonlight goddess" who had gone to study abroad, leaving him and breaking up with him.
