Chapter 963
Under everyone''s shocked gaze, Emily took his hand and left.
However, on the way out of the hospital, her face was blue. Because when they entered the lift, the
people inside regarded them as dreadful monsters, and they all stayed as distant as possible. And
they stampeded to get our of the lift.
Inside the car, Emily asked indignantly, "Simon, how could this be?"
AIDS patients could be considered the disadvantaged. In many aspects, their hiding of their illness
was not to deceive but to protect themselves.
Simon pulled his lips and said slowly in a deep voice, "Someone spread things about my condition.
It seems to be nurse Connie!"
After Connie eavesdropped on their conversation yesterday, she was once again surrounded by
other colleagues in the department to inquire about the extent of their date this morning when she
came to work. So she told them all about Simon''s condition.
She knew that Simon didn''t like her. In order to avoid being reduced to a joke, she might as well
take the initiative to take action.
In this case, no one wouldugh at her. Instead, Simon would be the one to take all the me!
Simon did not know Connie''s thinkings, but now that the entire hospital had known it, the work in
Tbridge City could only be suspended. In the past, everyone wanted to say hello to him even from a
distance, but now they all avoided him in advance from a even bigger distance.
"Is it the nurse you brought home to drive me away?" Upon hearing this, Emily frowned.
"Yes." Simon nodded.
"How did she know?" Emily was puzzled. Seeing that he didn''t know about it either, she gritted her
teeth and said in a bad mood, "It''s because you''re messing around. And now, you are bitten back!
Now you know what is called ''scorpion''!"
Simon''s lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his smile.
Recalling what he had just experienced in the hospital, Emily turned back and looked at the box in
the back seat. Although he looked very calm now, his eyes seemed to be covered with ice and
snow.
She bit her lips and said in a very light tone, "Simon, Let''s eat out!" "Good idea!" Simon replied.
They didn''t go home directly but went to a restaurant run by a southerner on their way home.
The chef was from the south where the people there fancy spicy food. Therefore, every dish was
spicy. They ate as usual and ordered four dishes and one soup, all in small portions, just like at
home. It was just enough for two people.
When Emily put down her bowl, she found he barely ate anything.
The white off-roader was parked downstairs, and there were stars glittering in the night sky.
After taking a shower, Emily came out of the bathroom. She looked around and found his straight
back in the balcony beside the kitchen.
The balcony was independent from the apartment, being in the open air, so one could enjoy the
scenery outside more directly.
However, one could still feel cold facing the cool night wind.
Simon only wore a thin shirt and trousers. His hands were on the rail. The night wind blew his hair in
front of his forehead. Maybe it was because of the dark color of his clothes, it seemed that he was
going to be integrated with the night.
Emily shouted at him, "Simon, I''m done bathing!" "Mm." Simon turned around and mentioned for the
cigarette case on the rattan chair next to him. "Can I smoke a cigarette?"
Emily held her breath.
She did not speak, but went straight to him, picked up and opened the cigarette case, and took out
a cigarette. Then she lighted it for him, and sent it directly to his thin lips.
When he turned around, her heart almost stopped beating.
His whole body seemed to be wrapped in a dark swamp, without any light and vitality around him.
Everything he had experienced in the hospital during the day must be a fatal blow to him. It was
impossible for anyone to avoid any impact.
Although she strictly forbade him to smoke, she still wanted nicotine to give him some rxation.
Simon held the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep puff. He spat out the smoke ring. However,
his handsome face looked very quiet and lonely in the smoke.
A gust of night wind blew, and Emily secretly shivered.

She just took a shower and felt hot. But after being blown by the wind, she instantly felt cold, and
her hair was not dry. Although it was cold, she still did not run back to the room, but reached out to
touch his sturdy arm.
When she opened her mouth and was about to say that she wanted him to go back to the room,
she suddenly heard his deep voice.
"AIDS is an extremely dangerous contagion."
Emily frowned.
Simon dropped cigarette ashes. And the ashes were blown away by the night wind,nding on the
ground in a mess. "This type of disease is caused by human immunodeficiency virus, a type of virus
that can attack the human body''s immune system. It will target the CD4T lymphocyte, destroying
large amounts of cells, causing the human body to gradually lose its immune function, causing the
failures of the liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs and blindness. Late staged patients usually die
fromplications, most of them malignant tumors."
"ording to reports, a healthy person can live for many years, 2 to 20 years, without any
symptoms, working and living as a normal person. But if he is unable to control his illness, he will
die in half a year, at most, one and a half year!"
Emily was confused. Why did he give her a medical ss all of a sudden?
As a matter of fact, when she learned that he was infected, she had already learnt all the
information about the disease. And until now, whenever she was free, she would take out a medical
book from her bag to learn about the illness.
Just as she didn''t know why he said so much medical knowledge, she heard his low voice sounding
again slowly. "Emily, if I''m dead, you can just marry someone else."
After hearing this, Emily''s face suddenly turned blue.
So this is the point?
She was about to burst into tears, and she was trembling with anger. She gritted her teeth and
red at him. "Okay! Then I''ll wait and see. Once you kick your bucket, I''ll return to Ice City and find
another man. Don''t worry!"
After saying these words, she threw her hands off and ran back to the living room.
Sitting on the sofa, she twitched her nose and felt wet in her eyes. And atst, she burst into tears.
It seemed that her valve of tear had been opened and tears were pouring out from her eyes. Emily
raised her hand and wiped her face at a venture. After a while, she gave up wiping because there
were too many tears to be wiped clean.
She was sitting on the sofa, shedding tears of anger and hatred.
Suddenly she remembered that, when they were at Wendy''s husband''s funeral, Simon asked her
would
her heart break if he was dead...
Emily felt it was unlucky to ask. Maybe it was because of that stupid question.
Just like when he got to Tbridge City and she was so infuriated that she even ran away from home,
Emily swore while wiping her tears, "Bastard, son of bitch!"
"Have you had enough?"
