NovelEnglishChapter 299 Jean had rehearsed these words in her heart countless times. When she finally spoke, her words were filled with deep emotion. "Brad, I've been trying so hard to forget you, but I just can't. I really can't.
"Even though I've lived abroad for six years, I've been relying on medication to keepalive. I was afraid you'd find out about my illness, and even more afraid of disrupting your family and angering your grandfather and father. So, no matter how much I missed you or how painful my illness was, I never considered coming back to find you.
"When you truly love someone, you don't want to be a burden to them. I didn't want to be a burden to you or interfere with your family, but I just can't control myself! I want you with me, but I also fear that it would destroy your family. I'm so conflicted and in so much pain.

Yet, Jean's heartfelt words moved him deeply. Despite his usual cold demeanor, he couldn't help but be touched.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his frustration. Still facing away, he gently said, "Jeanie, don't say that. Your illness can be treated. I'll find a way to help you, and you need to have faith in yourself. Let's not worry about love right now. Your health is the most important thing. Don't you agree?" He added, "I promise I'll find a suitable kidney donor for you as soon as possible." The regrets and unfulfilled love from his youth had always lingered in his heart. Six years ago, when he was in the hospital, Jean was sent abroad by Adam. At that time, he felt deep resentment and even hatred toward her.
However, he quickly cto terms with it when he learned the truth.
Fate had a cruel way of tearing apart those who had sworn eternal vows without any warning. Those old memories were just faint shadows in his mind, and Jean's face had blurred over time. Yet, he still thought of her often.
Whenever he thought of Jean, he couldn't help but compare her to Nadine. This comparison once troubled him greatly and even led to a big argument with Adam.
But over time, and after seeing Jean return, he realized the anger had mostly faded. Now, he just wished for Jean's health to improve. Everything else could be dealt with later.
Jean sensed from Brad's words that he only intended to cure her illness. He hadn't mentioned what would happen afterward. This made her realize that her place in his heart might not be as significant as she had hoped. It made her even more anxious.
