Chapter 2157
Behind them, the officers exchanged whispers about the situation.
“Has the family been contacted?”
“What the hell, the other side said that there is no such daughter, they have long since left the father-daughter relationship, and they won’t even look at her whether she is dead or alive!”
“Are there really such cruel parents in the world?”
“Now is not the time to talk about that, hurry up and ask where the firefighting has gone!”
Indeed, when Gao Jian chose Gu Han, she had already cut herself off from her family and broken her parents’ hearts.
Apart from Gu Han, there was no place for her to return to.
In hindsight, she realises that she has been a bit foolish and can only hope that Gaijin will still care about her children.
Gao Jian sneered at the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether she was laughing at herself or others, as if she was sure of something, her gaze suddenly firm and sharp, “I only ask you, do you want to marry Gu Han and fulfill his wish?”
“You know all about it ……” Both hands slowly lowered, suddenly not knowing what to say.
That condition, it was always her who was most hurt.
“I don’t want to hear this, I just want to know if you’re willing to do it!” Gathering Jane’s voice grew higher and higher, almost breaking into a whisper.
I was helpless, “It’s impossible, I’m already Fu Shenyan’s wife, remarrying would be bigamy.”
After a pause, she added, “Even without the legal layer, if I don’t love Gu Han, I won’t make the wrong decision, you know best what the final result will be when you tie together even people you don’t love, haven’t you suffered enough and suffered enough heartache all these years!”
The tension that I had previously suppressed was invariably transformed into a force, and the more I said, the more the feeling of hatred in my heart became uncontrollable, “Can you stop trampling on yourself like that, Gao Jian!”
Probably not expecting my sudden emotional outburst, Gao Jian’s whole body was stunned.
The negotiator, who was standing by, began to correct my comments, “You’re going to provoke her emotionally by saying that.
I could hear that he was angry, but there was a gnashing of teeth as he tried to suppress his voice for fear that Pickup Jane would notice the exchange between us.
“I’m sorry.” Realising that he had caused them trouble, he hurriedly admitted his mistake.
But there was no chance to pursue it at such a juncture, and after a moment of silence, Gathering Jane completely ran out of steam.
She stood on the parapet, which was only a palm’s width, with her hands on her head, yet she kept shaking her head, “I’m sorry Shen Shu, I couldn’t stand it, I really felt like I was suffocating, you know the moment I got close to him and felt him all cold, the moment the ventilator returned to a straight line, that cone of pain, the feeling that the whole world was swooning, as if my whole soul had flown away with his body heat, I collapsed to the floor, I knew I wasn’t going to live, and if, if the nurse hadn’t happened to pass by, I really would have gone with him!”
Her eyes were red with tears, and she looked at me from the run, like a frightened rabbit, “I’d rather die than go through that a second time, Shen Shu, now you tell me your answer, do you want us to live, or die?”
My brain buzzed with a booming sound, I was like a thunderbolt, my whole body was blinded.
How did …… unwilling to go against my heart become an established murderer?
The police officer was urging, “The big picture is the most important thing, save the man and everything will be fine!”
The negotiator is jumping, “Nah, this lady, let me remind you, there is a legal responsibility for not saving a person’s life, you’d better think about how you’re going to answer!”
“I ……”
Before the word “promise” could be uttered, Gao Jian roared hysterically once again, “I don’t want anything perfunctory! Shen Shu, I want you to promise to marry Gu Han as soon as possible, otherwise even if you stop me now, I still have a thousand ways to die in front of you!”
“Promise her ah what are you waiting for!”
“What’s the big deal if you can get married and leave Gu Han too! Saving a life is better than building a pagoda!”
“I ……” The face of Fu Shen Yan flashed in my head, and in a trance I unconsciously lowered my head and said, in a voice I could hear, “No, I can’t do it.”
Almost as soon as the words fell, people’s screams rumbled in my ears.
“No!”
Looking up sharply, Gathering Jane’s figure leapt up against the wall and crashed down with a crash-
Chapter 2158
“Pick up Jane!”
Too late to react, everyone ran almost simultaneously towards the spot where she had fallen.
In their minds, they already foresaw what they were about to see – a motionless shell, a snake-like spread of fishy red that stained the entire area.
Fortunately, the first thing we saw was a giant inflatable air cushion, and Gaijin, like a newborn baby, was wrapped up in a cradle. From our perspective, it was difficult to tell if there were any traumatic injuries, only that she had passed out due to the violent impact.
The heart in my throat dropped instantly and I could finally calm down and take a breath.
Everywhere in the inpatient department, families of patients gather in twos and threes, whispering about the fall, indifferent or gossipy, as they see it.
Human grief is not interconnected, it does not involve itself, and it is rightly the talk of the tea time.
And I just thought they were noisy, walking by with my arms wrapped around me in silence.
After what I’d just been through, I could understand completely how Gathering Jane felt, and the moment she went to her death without a second thought, I was willing to give up the bottom line to keep her.
I had to think of a compromise.
“Where have you been?”
Fu Shen Yan’s familiar voice rang out and I realised I had just lost my concentration, calmly watching him drape his jacket over me, my eyes vacant as I followed his every move.
Clothes, jacket …… There it is!
“Fu Shen Yan.” Grabbing his arm fiercely, my eyes lit up, “I’m going to agree to Gu Han’s terms!”
Fu Shenyan’s thick eyebrows squeezed to his brow, his voice biting, “Say it again.”
Knowing that he had misunderstood my meaning, I laughed helplessly and stood on my tiptoes to hook my feet around his neck, hanging my whole body on him, “I said, you’ll be the old man of the month for sure!”
As soon as I heard the flattering tone, the haze at the corner of Fu Shen Yan’s mouth dispersed like candyfloss and turned into a vague smile, “Sure it’s a moon elder, not a cuckold?”
While saying that, he also retaliated by applying a fierce force around my waist, forcing my entire body to press against his, taking advantage of it.
With a solution to a tricky situation, I was happy to dwell on it with him, and with a twist of my mouth, I deliberately sold out, “You’re so smart, guess for yourself!”
“Fake marriage?” Fu Shenyan said calmly.
“Well …… Half right, guess again!” I said with a light smile.
Fu Shen Yan’s hand suddenly loosened its strength and lifted to gather the broken hair in front of my forehead for me, his tone patient and doting, “No matter what it is, you yourself must remember that you are my Fu Shen Yan’s wife, and this, no one can change.”
In front of tenderness, all the childishness and spur of the moment seemed to have suddenly gone out of the window.
“It won’t change, not even for a second.” A good-natured promise was made in return for the trust he gave.
Fu Shen Yan’s eyebrows rose slightly upwards at his words, and then he led me back, giving a recap of the specialist’s consultation as he went.
The disease caused by the radiation is irreversible and the world’s leading experts are at their wits’ end. The only thing that can be done is to be aware of the various expensive and potent medicines, and even then, the patient will barely survive another month and will be in so much pain that he will not be able to rest or eat properly.
To sum up, the rest of the time, Gu Han will meet his death amidst illness and extreme mental torture.
This will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to him and to us. If one knows that suffering lies ahead, does death not become a salvation?
Perhaps it was because Gaijin realised this earlier than we did that he let go of his life and gave it up in exchange for Gu Han getting what he wanted and leaving this world with a smile on his face.
Understandable but unforgivable, I didn’t go to Gaijin’s hospital room, choosing instead to inform her by text message, “The wedding will take place soon, provided you live to witness it.”
Needless to say who and who it was, she knew in her heart.
I had thought that by being willing to eat, Gu Han’s condition would slowly improve, but to my surprise, throughout the day, my condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and I was close to issuing a critical illness notice. Luckily, I was able to rescue him and pass the dangerous period, but Gu Han fell into a coma.
The hopes that had just been raised were once again dashed, and we could only hope that the wedding would be prepared as soon as possible and that the joyful air would dispel the sickness.
