Chapter 2149
She slapped the tabletop with a bang and stood up violently, “You don’t want me to say it, but I have to say it, Gu Han is a coward, a coward, he is not a man!
This scene happened so suddenly that not only were we startled, but Gu Yi Yang probably saw his mother in such a state of discomfort for the first time, and the movement of his chopsticks froze.
Everyone’s attention was on Gao Jian, as if everything had been frozen in place.
At first she was furious, but in an instant her shoulders loosened, her eyes were wet with tears, blood instantly stained around her pupils, and only her stubborn, tightly closed lips were still holding on to the last walls of the city.
She was finally running down.
Before she met Gu Han, she was just a little princess who didn’t know anything about the world, but after she met him, her world was turned upside down and she was tortured by the fact that she could not be loved.
It was so hard to wait until Gu Han was sick and could no longer get rid of herself, she thought she could stay by his side for the rest of her life, but he insisted on dying, how absurd, how ridiculous, God had played too big a joke on her.
She realised that Gu Han had really given up, that the last straw was weighing on her and she really couldn’t carry it.
The emotional infection came unawares, and when I found my nose was sore and swollen, it was too late to restrain it.
Gu Yi Yang’s voice trembled, scared and distressed, “Mum, what’s wrong with you?”
The mother on the verge of collapse, the child who didn’t know what was going on, everything was stimulating my empathy and, not surprisingly, I would be completely infected by the atmosphere.
At this point Fu Shenyan’s hand on the back of my hand suddenly used force, wrapping my whole hand in his warm one.
“If you feel bad, just cry out. No one says that a patient’s family must die to the end.”
Fu Shen Yan’s voice was not loud, but very clear, and every word carried a sense of security that comes naturally from a strong man.
I settled down, and in an instant the cries of a woman breaking down resounded in the booth, and Gao Jian fell into a chair, covering her face with her hands, barely able to breathe.
Gu Yi Yang also cried, rising uneasily to guard her side, his small hands soothing her back one after another, the only effort he could muster.
When the tears flowed down, Fu Shen Yan wiped them away. Perhaps because he was controlling the scene, my emotions did not run further, but instead I was able to stand very well from an objective point of view and empathise with their mother and son in private without disturbing them.
I don’t know how long it took for the room to settle down and for Gathering Jane to finally calm down, only her eyes and nose were red from crying and she was squinting slightly, probably not able to see very well.
Soothing the child, Gathering Jane looked to us and lowered her head apologetically, “I’m sorry for scaring you.”
“It’s okay, just let it out, it’s always bottled up inside and you’ll get sick.” I said.
Gathering Jane smiled pale, did not retort, just gently stroked Gu Yi Yang’s hair, gentle and patient, as if she could sense all the badness of time, as if she was just sobbing, and she was simply two people.
She was too tired, Gu Han’s body was dying, and her soul, nowhere intact.
“Otherwise, Gu Han’s next treatment, let’s leave it to me and Shen Yan, you take the child and go back to recuperate for a while.” Even if it was for our once-in-a-lifetime acquaintance, I looked forward to doing more for her.
“No need.” Gao Jian suddenly smiled, sweeping a glance at us and then at the child, saying half-jokingly, “I’m going to spend time with him, spend all my strength on him, I want what he owes me, and if he can’t pay me back in this life, he’ll do it in the next.”
She finished and took a long breath, rubbing her hands up and down Gu Yi Yang’s arms, saying smittenly, “Yi Yang, don’t ever love someone too much in the future, you know?”
Chapter 2150
The emotional outburst worked well. After Gathering Jane had cried, she was no longer tense and her whole body was much more relaxed. Before going back to the hospital, she even took our advice and took a hot bath at the nearest hotel, changed into new clothes and simply cleaned herself up, finally looking less of a mess.
It was just about time for the feeding, which had previously been done by Gathering Jane, and today she handed me the tray of food straight away.
The process of staying alive is a protracted legacy, it doesn’t need much pomp and circumstance, it’s enough to share one another’s hearts.
On the matter of saving Gu Han, Gaijin and I have been on the same side for a long time.
Gu Han was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to me, which was a good sign as Gleaner said he had been weak.
“You’re awake, have something to eat, the nanny made it especially well and brought it from home, it’s all your favourite food.”
Although the food was served in a thermos box, the colour and flavour were the same and it was very appetising.
Gu Han, however, sat motionless, seemingly uninterested.
I guessed that the act of getting up had taken most of his strength and he didn’t have the strength to turn around again, so I went around and took the initiative to help him.
As soon as my hand touched it, he flung it away, his bloodied face drooping, obviously still angry about what had happened earlier.
I sighed and stood up straight to look at him, patiently like I was talking to a three-year-old doll, “You wouldn’t be so childish as to use your own body as leverage, would you?”
“Hmph,” Gu Han laughed contemptuously, “you have a worse memory than I do, I was originally a man who would do anything to get what he wanted, wasn’t I?”
I had nothing to say, so I changed my mind and diverted my attention, “OK, let’s say you’re fighting to the end, but your body is the essence of the revolution, eat something to replenish it, won’t your ‘revolution’ last longer?”
That offended him and he jerked his head around and looked at me angrily, “You’re confusing the issue!”
As he spoke, probably because of the pain in his chest, his brow twitched harshly, and in the blink of an eye he restrained himself from suppressing it as if nothing had happened.
It still didn’t escape my eyes, of course.
As if to prove himself, he clenched his fist and spoke again, “It’s only a compromise if you really eat it, I’ll just go on like this, I won’t eat or drink until I die of thirst and starvation, if you can’t see it, you can leave now, no one will stop you.”
There was absolutely nothing to do with him now.
Gu Han was indeed right, either out of sight, out of mind, or, be prepared to see no more and give in.
Patients were best at blackmailing like this.
No one was going to give in, and there was no point in stalemating, so I had to choose to leave for now.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to eat, I’ll come back tomorrow, let me know what you want by weibo, it’s too late, go to bed if you don’t have an appetite.”
He said, walking slowly out of the ward in silence.
The child, who is half an age, will easily get sick if he stays in the hospital all day.
Before we left, Fu Shen Yan instructed the doctor to give Gu Han a little nutritional medicine, which was injected into his body through an infusion, before taking Gu Yi Yang and me on our way home.
When we arrived home the children were all asleep, leaving Four Seasons and Cheng Junyu, both in the living room around a pile of papers, feverishly calculating something.
“Mom and Dad, you’re back.” When Four Seasons heard footsteps, he immediately put down the tablet in his hand and stood up in a good manner.
