Chapter 2131
“Mummy.” Little Doumi saw Gathering Jane return and immediately got up to greet her.
“Good boy.” Gathering Jane rubbed the top of his fluffy head and turned to introduce me to the child, “This is Auntie Shen, caller, Nanxun.”
“Do you remember me? Little Doumi?” Adults’ grudges are irrelevant to children, I asked him with a smile as I took the initiative to express my goodwill.
He shook his head and looked blankly wide-eyed for a moment, but didn’t say anything.
They say little kids don’t know any better, but in fact they all know very well in their hearts that the presence of certain people just makes their parents uncomfortable, hence and intentional display or not.
Maybe little Doumi himself doesn’t even know that the mouth he can’t open is actually sounding off for Gaijin.
I didn’t mind this and continued to smile at each other.
Gathering Jane patted the child on the back and looked sideways at the door next to her, “The man is inside, go in, I’ll keep watch here.”
No woman could stand up to a scene where the man she loved so much and the woman he loved were reunited after a long time.
I understood her and didn’t force the issue. I took a deep breath and prepared myself, then silently pressed the door handle and stepped into the ward.
The smell of disinfectant was stronger in the room than in the corridor, and the first thing I saw was a pair of dry feet, bare and exposed outside the quilt, thin to the bone.
As I walked further in, I saw Gu Han in an old man’s gauze cap on a hospital bed.
In fact, I didn’t recognise him at all, but merely associated the man lying on the bed, with deep cheekbones and a face as dry as wood, with the word Gu Han, based on the introduction I had received from Jane outside.
He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, motionless, and if it wasn’t for the respirator and heart rate monitor working methodically next to him, I would have thought it was just a corpse.
Probably because he had been lying uncomfortably for a long time, Gu Han unconsciously moved his upper body, and when he did, the movement of opening his mouth to breathe followed.
The soreness and distension rushed to the tip of my nose, and I was afraid I would cry out, so I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose, afraid I would cry out and scare him into rest.
Is this still the Gu Han I know, the young man who carried the youth of countless girls in the capital, the man who protected me with his own strength, now lying in bed, his life like a thin sheet of white paper that could die at any moment.
When I thought of what Jane had said, “If it wasn’t for your wedding, he could have lived a few more days,” I finally couldn’t help myself, turned and ran out, closed the door, held on to the nearest chair and cried out.
I was grateful for this man, I had grumbled, I owed him, I even wanted him to disappear forever for the sake of the children, but when I saw him leaving at any moment, I couldn’t bear it.
If I could, I would like to take back those curses.
There was a gentle nudge on my arm, and a pair of bony hands sent over a tissue, “Wipe it off.”
She was the one who loved Gu Han the most, to be as calm as she was now, and how many times had she broken down in untold hours.
“Thanks.” I knew I was not qualified to be weak in front of her, whether it was to take care of his emotions or to be afraid of waking Gu Han, I hurriedly gathered my emotions and asked while drying my tears, “How did this happen? Is there any hope? Maybe the situation will get better if we send it abroad?”
“It’s useless, the attending doctor said there is no longer a need for treatment, we can only hang on, to live one more day, are picked up.” Gao Jian walked to the door and looked through the brick-sized glass on the door into the ward, one hand resting unconsciously on the glass as if it could touch Gu Han, “You know, only when it comes to times like this, he has no strength to push me away, has to accept my care, has to spend time with me day and night, I know, he refuses to take his last breath because of you, but it doesn’t matter. But it doesn’t matter, I’m happy to be with him.”
Chapter 2132
At this moment, looking at Gao Jian’s enjoyable and tired face, I realized that she and Gu Han are the same kind of person at heart.
From wanting his love, to being by his side, to now, even if she is just holding on to a body that is struggling to breathe, she is still enjoying herself so much.
During the years when I was in a coma, what Gu Han was thinking was probably like what Gao Jian said, that he didn’t care whether he loved or not, whether he could communicate or not, as long as he could be bound together by fate, that was all the luck he had.
But in the end, the heavens had little mercy on them, except for the monologue of one side sleeping and the other awake, without any substantial change.
The first few years of my marriage to Fu Shenyan, I experienced how hard it is to love someone without a response, the kind of heartache that can destroy a person.
The telepathic connection between mother and son is always strong. Sensing that his mother was not in the right mood, the thin boy came forward and tugged at the corner of her coat, looking up and asking in a hoarse voice, “Mum, are you crying again?”
Only in front of a child can a woman subconsciously curb her weakness.
Gathering Jane took a deep breath to calm herself before turning around and tugging hard at the corner of her mouth, “I’m fine.”
After a pause, she pulled the child to her side, mother and son standing facing me one after the other.
“Shen Shu.”
Her tone was so formal that I froze for a couple of seconds before responding, nodding solemnly to show I was listening, “Go ahead.”
“You’ve seen Gu Han’s situation,” Gao Jian’s tone was light but mixed with a few moments of helplessness, “Although he hasn’t mentioned it, you and I both know that the person Gu Han wants to see the most has always been you, I want you to come over and stay with him every day for the next few days, to continue life on medication, but also for the patient to cooperate with treatment, have the faith to survive, you are Gu Han’s faith to live, help him, can you?”
Without saying anything, he nodded first, “I should ……”
“No.”
The word “yes” was still in his mouth when a harsh male voice cut through the silence and rang out, following the sound of the side glance, he saw Fu Shen Yan standing at the safety exit with a gloomy face, the aura around him was cold and unfriendly.
In the matter of love rivals, it is difficult for both men and women to remain rational, especially when Fu Shen Yan has always held a grudge, even in the face of life and death, there is no love to speak of.
I was worried that Fu Shenyan would make a big deal out of it, so I hurried up to meet him two steps ahead and tried to calm him down, this is a hospital, Gu Han is sick, calm down, let’s go back and talk about what happened.
Fu Shen Yan looked down at me and helplessly gave a slightly peaceful look, then he smoothly put his hand on my shoulder, his deep gaze fell straight to Gao Jian.
“Gu Han’s woman is just like him. You two are a good match. Gu Han didn’t look at you because he doesn’t have an eye for you.”
The words sounded eerie, every word seemed to be in consideration for Gao Jian, but at first glance, they were derogatory in every way.
Fu Shenyin did not like to actively engage in bad relations with others, but the word “Gu Jie” seemed to be his scales, and once he touched it, there was no gentlemanly courtesy to speak of.
“You talk properly.” I couldn’t bear to see Gao Jian get involved because of the conflict between Gu Han and Fu Shen Yan, so I whispered a reminder.
“Isn’t it?” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
