Eric couldn’t help but cough a few times. He spat blood into the tissue. The assistant pretended not to see, threw it away, and then handed him a glass of water.
He has been eating very little and sleeping very little recently. Painkillers no longer work for him. Everyone knows he doesn’t have much time left, but no one dares to mention it.
“Go find a lawyer, I want to make a will.”
The lawyer arrived quickly, and Eric handed him a document. “The Absom family, except for him, has no one else to inherit. The father is old, and he has sold most of the properties, leaving him enough money to live out the rest of his days.”
“Mr. Absom, are you sure you want to leave all your property to your wife, Mrs. Lina?”
Eric hadn’t heard the word “Lina” from anyone’s mouth for a long time. Everyone was afraid he would be upset, so they avoided the topic. But when he heard it again, he fell into a painful silence for a long time. Yes, he had promised her at their wedding that from now on, everything of his, Eric’s, belonged to Lina, whether it was people or money. Now that Lina didn’t want him anymore, it didn’t matter, but after he died, his money would only belong to Lina.
“She was my wife, my legacy, and of course, everything was hers.”
The lawyer didn’t ask any more questions. It was well known that Lina had gone to a foreign country and had long since cut ties with Eric. The divorce agreement, Eric never signed it. He refused to have no

connection with Lina, at least legally, she was still his wife. They were not divorced, but about to be widowed.
Eric waved his hand, the lawyer and assistant had both left, and he stayed in the office until the lights came on, looking at the lights of the city, but now not a single one was lit for him. The loneliness and pain he was experiencing now were also once endured by Lina, he didn’t feel wronged, in fact, he felt it would make him more comfortable.
He knew Lina wouldn’t want his money, but he stubbornly wanted to give it to her. No matter how she disposed of it, he wanted to leave this money to her. This should be the last thing he could do for her.
Eric’s clear days were becoming fewer and fewer. He refused to be hospitalized, so Jayce had to call a family doctor, but that only provided a slight relief of pain. No one had a better solution.
Andy was with Eric until the end, taking care of him almost constantly in the last few days.
“Eric, do you want to meet Lina?”
He felt that there was nothing more important in the world than life and death. If Lina knew he was going to die, she should also meet him, right?
Eric shook his head. He also wanted to see her one last time. But he knew that even if Lina saw him, it wouldn’t make any difference. It couldn’t change the fact that he was going to die, nor could it make Lina feel better. Instead of causing her more trouble, it was better not to see her for this final time.
“Never mind, I have seen her enough. After all, it’s my fault. Seeing me like this, she won’t feel any better.”

Eric and Lina’s love was beyond Andy’s reach. He never expected that the two people he once envied would end up where they are now.
“Andy, I had already prepared a will before. After I die, please help me deliver it to Lina!”
Andy thought that Lina would definitely not want it. Compared to a living person, what she cared about must be Eric. But he didn’t say it out loud. Maybe this was Eric’s last obsession!
“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you bring it. Is there anything else besides this?”
Eric trembled as he took out the diamond from his pocket, which Lina had never worn before. But he still wanted to give it to her. He wanted to tell her that a lifetime of love between two people was something he could never give her. However, he hoped that in the remaining years of her life, she would find that person. But he couldn’t bring himself to say these words, so he just placed the diamond in Andy’s hand.
He had a lot to say to Lina, but it seemed that he couldn’t say it all. His regrets were so many, how could they be explained in just a few words?
The day he left, the weather was fine. Eric’s eyes were always looking out the window, as if he saw Lina smiling at him, telling him that everything was over and she would be very happy.
Lina received Eric’s will a month later, along with the diamond.
“Lina, Eric… passed away a week ago.”
The will was personally delivered by Andy. It was the last thing Eric instructed before he died, and Andy naturally carried it out. Andy * didn’t see Tammy, and he gave a bitter smile, “This girl is still avoiding

him.”
Lina trembled as she took the file bag from Andy’s hand. Although she had hated Eric before, when she heard the news of his death, her heart was uncontrollably twisted like a knife. The words “we will never see each other again in this life” that she had said became a reality.
“How did he die?”
I heard he was just disabled, Bonnie also got punished, how could he have died?
Andy shook his head, he didn’t know at first that Eric’s health was so poor.
“I only found out later that the car accident he had at that time was very serious. It was a miracle that he survived. If he had continued to receive treatment, he should have lived a few more years. But he refused. Maybe, at the moment he was hit, he shouldn’t have wanted to live anymore.”
Eric’s funeral was scheduled for a week later. Andy didn’t ask Lina if she would attend. “Everyone is dead, so whether to go back or not probably doesn’t make any sense, right?”
“When was the funeral held?”
Lina asked him with red eyes, and Andy suddenly felt a bit bitter, “If Eric knew that Lina was planning to go back, would he regret not seeing her before he passed away?” “If you go back, he should be very happy, right?”
“Will you go back in a week?”
Lina nodded, a tear falling from the corner of her eye, the young man who had once risked everything to save her from the fire, the husband
