That was the first time Shi Lihua considered divorce. She was tired of the torment, tired of seeking revenge; all she wanted was to be by Yu Zhiyuan's side. But reality didn't permit this because Yu Zhiyuan had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Shi Lihua's presence couldn't help him. So she neither divorced nor indulged in affairs anymore; she began to regain her former focus and diligence, using the Fu family's money to set up a laboratory dedicated to researching this disease.
She knew that this illness was one of the five most incurable diseases in the world, and she was aware that it was impossible for her alone to conquer it. She didn't harbor unrealistic hopes; she merely wished to develop a drug, one that could delay death. She just hoped that Yu Zhiyuan could spend more time with her, to make up for what was lacking in their relationship, at least until their child had grown up a bit more.
