However, later on, there appeared to be some kind of conflict between the two siblings. As a result, their relationship began to drift apart.

After thinking about it for a while, Jian Yiling decided to find the reason for the change in the relationship between the original Jian Yiling and Jian Yunmo.

However, she didn’t know what she could find out. In fact, she wasn’t even sure of where to start.

And thus, Jian Yiling sent a message to one of her contacts to ask them for help. She wanted them to find out something that had happened to Jian Yunmo around two years ago that could be related to Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling didn’t have to wait for long before she received a reply.

The other part had sent her a file.

The file they sent her contained everything. There was information regarding Jian Yunmo’s choice of food, clothing, dwelling, and even transportation.

The only things that happened to Jian Yunmo that year that could be considered special were all related to his studies.

One of his researches had been groundbreaking and thus achieved outstanding results. His thesis had gotten published and Jian Yunmo had gotten accepted into an overseas university. From there onwards, he had become a student of the world’s best biologist.

However, Jian Yiling noticed that two years ago, Jian Yunmo had frequently visited the doctors. Those visits had lasted for quite some time.

Suddenly, it occurred to Jian Yiling that in the original novel, Jian Yunmo had also died before the original Jian Yiling.

Was there some connection between these events?

If she could see the doctor’s diagnosis, she might be able to know the answer and come to a conclusion.

However, Jian Yiling knew that she couldn’t see the diagnosis results. Hospital records were strictly confidential.

Even the information that she was seeing right now had been obtained through special channels.

However, the hospital where Jian Yunnao had gotten treated domestically was in Hengyuan City. And thus, Jian Yiling wanted to see if she could get the information that she wanted from this hospital somehow.

That night, Jian Yiling had the same dream again.

She was in the same place. The cold hospital ward.

The same doctors and nurses walked around her.

The dream appeared to be the exact same as the one that she had been in last time.

Once again, Zhai Yunsheng appeared in front of her bed. He introduced himself and asked her some questions. He asked her whether she regretted her decisions.

After hearing Jian Yiling’s answers, Zhai Yunsheng was silent for a moment.

“Your body is dying. So just go. If you die, things won’t be painful anymore. I’ll take care of your funeral arrangements. If you have any requests, tell me now.”

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling hadn’t met before. So in the face of Jian Yiling’s death, he didn’t feel much emotion.

However, he was still willing to deal with Jian Yiling’s funeral arrangements. This was the only thing that he could give to Jian Yiling as she was dying alone.

“Thank you,” Jian Yiling replied. A smile suddenly appeared on her ill and bloodless face.

There was a time when she had a lot of people caring for her. Back then, such a promise didn’t mean much to her.

However, right now, she was alone and helpless. The fact that someone was willing to take care of her funeral arrangements was the greatest act of kindness that she felt in a long time.

Then, Jian Yiling told Zhai Yunsheng, “After I die, please take my cremated ashes to the sea. Just throw those ashes into the sea.”

Jian Yiling knew that no one would come and pay tribute to her after her death. Due to this reason, there was no need for a grave.

Furthermore, she had no right to be buried in the Jian family’s cemetery either.

“Okay, I promise,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

Then, before he left, he greeted Jian Yiling’s attending doctor. He asked the doctor to inform him when Jian Yiling was critically ill.

Soon, Jian Yiling’s consciousness began to drift.

There was the sound of medical equipment ringing next to her ears.

Then, there was the sound of doctors and nurses rushing to save her life.

However, she felt her body become lighter and lighter…
