Chapter 417: 417 His Excessive Care
I felt difficulty breathing…
My hands were right beside the hospital bed, but I didn’t move, I didn’t even try to resist.
I just let him strangle me as the air in my lungs slowly depleted.
The feeling of suffocation was instantaneous.
He suddenly let go.
I coughed once and then began to breathe desperately.
The feeling of air rushing back into my lungs was so wonderful.
I breathed deeply.
Yinuo asked me somewhat disheveled,
“Why didn’t you use your hands to fight back?”
I reached out and rubbed my sore neck where he had strangled me.
“If Doctor Ding wanted to take my life, there would be a hundred ways to do it without being discovered. Just by adding something to my IV, or by making a tiny mistake during surgery, I could die without a sound, and no one would be able to find out. Moreover, when you entered my room just now, many people saw you. I am your patient and the surgery is over. If you really strangled me to death, there would be marks on my neck…”
“All of this evidence would be very unfavorable to you. As soon as I died, you would not be able to escape a charge of murder. You are so smart, how could you allow yourself to make such a mistake, so, all things considered, you didn’t really want to kill me just now.”
I said calmly.
Yinuo snorted coldly,
“I’m not killing you because Jiaying is still in critical condition, I warn you. If she suffers even the slightest harm, I won’t let you off.”
After dropping such a harsh threat, he walked straight out.
At that moment, my heart sunk to its lowest point.
This kind of emotional severance is really hard to accept.
Especially when it comes to someone close to you, like a family member or a friend.
To fall apart in such a way, the best of relationships turn to dust in an instant…
After Yinuo left, I lay alone in the hospital bed, my heart felt ashen for a moment.
I kept thinking, why didn’t I gain anything in the end after giving so much?
Is reciprocating sincerity with sincerity not a real thing?
I don’t know how long it was before someone came into the room again.
In fact, I was oblivious.
It wasn’t until his hand rested on my forehead that I came to my senses.
“Does it still hurt?”
The low and magnetic voice sounded again.
My first instinct was to grab his hand tightly.
“Gu Yuanzhou!”
“Yes, it’s me!”
“Gu Yuanzhou!”
“What is it?”
“I want to be discharged! I don’t want to stay in this hospital any longer!”
“You can’t, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Wait a few more days, let’s see how your injury heals, okay?”
“Anyway, the surgery is already done, going to another hospital is the same, right? It’s just about postoperative healing.”
“It’s not the same, this hospital needs to monitor your wound healing. If there’s a problem, a second surgery might be needed. Don’t rush it, the eye is a delicate organ, and can’t be rushed.”
Gu Yuanzhou seemed to understand much more than I did.
“But, I’m really uncomfortable now, I don’t want to stay in this hospital…”
In front of Gu Yuanzhou, I couldn’t keep it together.
Like a little girl, I was being capricious, whining, and losing my temper.
“Why do you feel uncomfortable, is there something wrong?”
I recall feeling this uncomfortable as well when I was hospitalized for surgery during my postpartum confinement period.
Being sick, you’re already in a very depressed and suppressed state of mind.
And then there’s the physical pain, the discomfort.
It makes it very easy to break down.
Especially after giving birth to my eldest daughter, sometimes, when I held the baby and saw her crying, I would cry too.
At those times, Gu Yuanzhou would come over, tirelessly comforting me.
He would often soothe our daughter to sleep and then come to comfort me.
He’d massage me and tell me funny stories to cheer me up.
Thinking about it, he really did pamper me a lot after we got married.
It was precisely because of such extreme pampering that, when I knew he had betrayed me, my hatred towards him also reached its peak.
At this moment, we’ve let go of all the bitterness in our hearts.
He held me from behind, just as he used to hold the little girl, very indulgently drawing me into his embrace.
His chin pressed tightly against the nape of my neck.
Then he gently massaged my neck, shoulders…
Especially the back of my hand where I had been getting injections. Because of the long-term IV, the veins around it were very sore.
He first used a hot water bottle to apply heat for a while, then slowly massaged me, relieving most of the pain.
I lay quietly on the hospital bed, savoring this rare moment of warmth.
I didn’t want to ask him anything more.
In the evening, he again used a warm towel to gently wipe my face, neck, and arms, trying to make me more comfortable.
When he massaged my shoulders, it felt particularly good.
“Gu Yuanzhou, I’m thinking, when my eyes are better, will you just disappear?”
He didn’t answer me directly; instead, he fell silent.
“Gu Yuanzhou! Can you stay with me?”
He touched my face,
“Do you still want to be Mrs. Gu?”
“If I don’t want to, are you going to marry someone else?”
“Look at you, talking nonsense again!”
“I don’t know, I’m unsure about everything now. I can’t tell what’s real, I can’t figure out if I’m dead or alive. Gu Yuanzhou… tell me, am I dead or alive right now?”
Gu Yuanzhou did not speak; he just lowered his head and kissed my lips.
I can’t remember how long it’s been since we kissed.
It’s been so long I’ve almost forgotten the taste of his lips.
He kissed my lips, gently and carefully caressing them.
I clumsily responded to him.
Actually, if I don’t think about all the mess in my head, I really enjoy these intimate moments with him.
Gu Yuanzhou has a real knack for matters of love; he knows how to deliver those little pleasures very well.
Even with just a kiss,
he can fan the flames in my heart…
In his refreshing minty breath and his hurried breathing, I gradually lost my reason.
However, he did not linger too long; after the passionate kiss, he helped me lie down on the hospital bed, and his big hand slipped inside my clothing.
“Gu Yuanzhou!”
My face flushed, I whispered his name softly.
“Hush, I want to make you feel better!”
He nibbled on my earlobe, and I was stirred into confusion by him.
Indeed, when doing something beautiful, all the pain is forgotten, and the physical ailments seem to fade significantly.
In my daze, I found myself unable to resist.
It’s him!
And yet it seems not to be him!
In this moment, I held onto his arm tightly, hoping to never wake up.
