That fever is the deepest memory of death in Lowell’s mind. Delirious with fever, her whole body aching, she remembered vividly. Even when she fell and scraped her legs, she had bravely walked home without shedding a tear, but that time, she cried out of pain and fear.
After teetering on the edge of life and death several times, Lowell fortunately survived the crisis.
But the real problem lay elsewhere.
“You only have about five years to live.”
The reason was that her major organs were damaged by the high fever and could no longer function properly.
Everyone in the Hessen family refused to believe it, thinking it impossible, that the doctor was a quack. But those words soon became reality. Lowell could no longer return to her previous life. She would get feverish at the slightest breeze, and just a little movement would drain her of energy.
Neither the wealth of her family nor the knowledge she had learned to become a remarkable person in the future could help Lowell. Her damaged organs were beyond repair.
The Hessen family sought countless doctors and tried various medicines, but the answers were similar.
“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing we can do. Frankly, it wouldn’t be surprising if she collapses tomorrow and never regains consciousness.”
Living day by day, merely prolonging life, was the best they could do, the doctors said. Hoping to wake up tomorrow, accepting that she might not.
Eventually, Lowell’s family came to accept her fate.
Since then, Lowell began to distance herself from her family. Even though they lived in the same mansion, the only time Lowell saw her parents and other family members was when they occasionally visited her.
“Your brothers are about to enter private school. They’re busy and don’t have much time to visit.”
Lowell’s parents filled her surroundings with expensive and fine things, saying this, but Lowell could sense it. It wasn’t because of her siblings that her parents didn’t visit her; it was too hard for them to watch their daughter, whom they would eventually have to let go.
But Lowell was fine. She wasn’t alone.
Like Lowell, Peter was a noble boy from the capital with frail health, who came to the Hessen family’s estate alone for recuperation.
Even without knowing his deep circumstances, Lowell felt a sense of kinship with Peter. The fact that a young child had come alone for recuperation spoke volumes.
‘He, too, has been ostracized.’
Just like her, he was ill, and like her, he was neglected by his family.
It wasn’t surprising that two children in similar situations became close friends.
However, as seasons passed, a gap emerged between Lowell and Peter. While Lowell’s health gradually declined over time, Peter’s condition showed steady improvement.
By the fourth year, Peter had recovered enough to leave the estate and return home, in stark contrast to Lowell, who had grown visibly more frail and sickly.
Thus, their conversation took place just before Peter’s departure.
“…But Lowell, I still wish you would die in spring.”
Lowell tilted her head questioningly at Peter’s words. When their eyes met, Peter took her hand. His hand climbed up her palm and firmly gripped her wrist.
“I’ll return from the capital before spring to see you again.”
“…By then, I’ll probably be dead.”
“I’ll find a way to save you.”
At these words, Lowell’s eyes widened slightly. However, her expression quickly returned to normal. Too weary to harbor hope from a mere statement, Lowell found it hard to trust the words of a child as young as Peter. How could he find what even her parents, despite their extensive search, could not?
Lowell spoke almost with a sigh.
“My parents consulted many doctors. But none could save me. You know that.”
“There is a way, Lowell.”
But Peter was adamant.
“I can’t go into details… but there’s definitely a way.”
A way to extend her life.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
