On the way of the journey.

Song Yaqing sent me a donation app.

I was busy admiring the handsome guys on the beach and replied to her message when I had a moment: "What's up? Is this wealthy lady eyeing my divorce settlement?"

Song Yaqing anxiously sent me a voice message: "Fang Huai, quickly open and see who initiated the donation!"

I shifted my gaze and opened the app.

I saw that the person who initiated the donation was a name I was extremely familiar with—Li Xianming.

The beginning of the lengthy text was his personal introduction, and there was a picture below of him lying in a hospital bed wearing patient clothes.

I clicked on a medical record image to view.

Only then did I find out that he had been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer.

The amount raised was less than 2000 yuan.

As I scrolled down and read the comments, I was surprised to find that many enthusiastic netizens were flooding the comments section, revealing that he was the previously reported domestic violence perpetrator.

The comments section was filled with curses.

After finishing, I closed the app.

I felt a sense of relief and liberation in my heart.

However, I had a doubt in my mind.

"Being together with him for several years, based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't go to the hospital for a check-up for no reason... How did he suddenly discover that he has cancer?"

Soon, Song Yaqing sent three voice messages.

"You definitely won't be able to guess this."

"About half a year after your divorce, that woman, Lin Lulu, in your previous company was eager to take your place. They were discovered when they went to the hospital for pre-marital check-ups."

"As soon as that woman heard that your ex-husband didn't have much time left, she packed her bags and ran away overnight!"

I turned off my phone.

A myriad of emotions suddenly surged within me.

The love and hatred of these years finally turned into a sigh, dissipating in this vast world along with the warm sea breeze.

I lay on the beach chair.

I reached out and picked up the iced tea placed next to me, taking a sip.

Unexpectedly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded above my head.

"Excuse me, is the seat next to you taken?"

I looked up and glanced behind.

My gaze met the handsome smiling face of Gu Ran.

He wore sunglasses identical to mine on his face.

Wearing a pair of navy blue beach shorts, his tanned upper body was exposed under the sunlight.

He looked at me, smiled, and revealed his bright white teeth.

I also smiled back at him.

"No one, please sit."
