President's Substitute Wife

“Ah.” He smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t. I will marry you. The date is set. How can I die before marrying you?”

Although he said so, he did not say whether he was infected.

“So, you are infected, are not you?”

I asked him again.

“Not sure yet. After all, the virus has an incubation period.” The man was silent and continued, “However, in the current situation, I have a high probability of being infected.”

“You are a liar.”

I panicked when I heard him say that.

“To tell you the truth, when I heard that you were so worried about me and nervous about me, I really felt at once that this illness was really worth it. Even if I die, it’s worth it.”

“What are you talking about? Who gave you permission to die?”

I never thought for a second that Ming would die.

But now it was happening, and the probability was high.

“Well.”

I heard Ming’s voice with an unmistakable smile, and even felt that he must be smiling at the moment.

“You could be dead. What are you so happy about?”

“It’s worth my death.” Ming coughed and continued, “Becky, I have been with you for so many years. I never felt you cared for me, needed me and liked me.”

“Actually for so many years, I cared about you and helped you. What I want is not your thanks, but I hope that one day you can get used to my existence and rely on me even if you don’t love me. But before today, I didn’t have that kind of feeling.”

“I have a strong sense of insecurity all the time, and I’m afraid you will leave me. You will be with Sean as before, even if you are a mistress.”

Ming’s words gave me a hard time.

I took the phone and shook my head. “I won’t.”

“Anyway, I am happy today, and for the first time I know you are worried about me. Does that mean you care about me?”

“Well, I really care about you.”

I admitted it.

Right now, I was really worried about him.

If anything happened to him, I couldn’t take it.
