After a period of tender intimacy , Genevieve slipped out of Nathaniel's arms , straightened her skirt , and waved at him . " Nate . I have to go and help you find a suitable kidney donor . Your health isn't good , so rest well in the hospital . Once your condition stabilizes , you can go home for a while . Wait for me . " " Alright . " Nathaniel gazed at her departing figure with gentle eyes . Yet for some reason , an inexplicable sense of unease welled up inside him . It was as if something unpredictable was about to happen . His premonitions had always been accurate . Nathaniel pressed his lips together , unable to hold back . Before Genevieve's figure completely disappeared from his sight , he called out to her . " Genny , could you not go looking for a kidney donor this time ? I'm not in any immediate danger , and my parents are searching too . I'll also arrange for people to help . I just want you to stay with me . " Genevieve paused for a moment . She hadn't expected that even when Nathaniel was ill , he would rely on her like this . However , she turned her head and simply shook it helplessly . " Nate , don't be difficult . The more people searching , the more hope we have . I just want to help you find a matching kidney sooner so you can get better as soon as possible . " " Once you're well , you still have a long life ahead of you . We'll be together for a long time , so a little while apart won't matter . When did you become so clingy ? This isn't like you at all . " Hearing this , Nathaniel was left speechless . Not like him ? Perhaps people do become more fragile when they're sick . But in truth , what he feared more was not her leaving , but that she would become like he was 0.00 % 22:27 Chapter 18 288 Vouchers in his previous life - bringing back another man , treating that man better , constantly neglecting him , and in the end , even causing his death for that man . Just thinking about it made Nathaniel's heart twist in pain , his breath catching in his chest . To experience such things firsthand was so agonizing that he could hardly bear it . Watching him lost in thought , Genevieve secretly curled her lips in a faint smile . Her goal had been achieved . Having finally been reborn , he should truly experience everything she had gone through . Genevieve smiled softly . " Alright , Nate , don't worry . I'll be back in a few days , and I'll bring you a gift . If we're lucky , maybe I'll find a suitable kidney donor this time ! " She didn't linger any longer . After bidding Nathaniel farewell , she never looked back . For three days in a row , Genevieve didn't return . Although she briefly shared her itinerary and the scenery she passed by , it was nothing like seeing her in person . In just three days , the phrase ' a day feels like a year ' became a tangible reality for him . Nathaniel had never found time so hard to endure before . Now , he found himself looking toward the hospital room door countless times , hoping that the next person to walk in would be Genevieve . But each time , he was only met with disappointment . Genevieve hadn't come back , and not much time had actually passed . So this was how agonizing waiting could be . Nathaniel's heart was filled with bitterness , an indescribable feeling gnawing at him . Had Genevieve suffered like this while waiting for him in their previous life ? Perhaps she had , or maybe it was even more unbearable than this . On the fourth day , Genevieve returned , bringing gifts but not a kidney donor .

Every day , aside from being busy with work , all his free time was spent missing Genevieve . She would occasionally come back to keep him company , say some unbearably sweet words , linger reluctantly , and then quickly set off for her next destination .
