Chapter 2175
Perhaps the church was so quiet that all the sounds were picked up, except for Gu Han’s laboured breathing and the sound of a woman’s low drawl interspersed with the camera.
Gathering Jane stood in front of him, listening to his own words about how much he loved others.
How was she not as stubborn a follower as he was, he at least had the love of his heart before he died, and she, only the happiness that was stolen from her in lieu of Lee, could not see the light of day.
“You don’t want to fight anymore, what’s the point of me fighting anymore alone?” Gu Han sucked in his nose and sneered, “In fact, you are right, pity, sympathy, handouts to me, my pride really can not accept, you let me go, I also let you go, this last worship, no need to continue.”
With that, he turned his head to dismiss Chen Yi, “Go back and tell Fu Shen Yan for me, in this life I lost to the heavens, in the next life, I won’t lose, you can go now, today, thank you.”
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and did not insist, nodding his head in greeting, he lifted his feet and left.
“Da-da-da-da-da ……”
The high heels stepped on the wooden floor, making a rhythmic sound as they faded away.
Turning around and seeing Chen Yi coming out of the church through the car window, the sound in the picture only completely disappeared.
Once he was gone, Gu Han and Gao Jian were the only ones left in the church, and Fu Shen Yan and I sat in the car, unable to help but frown.
The original intention was to have time to pretend to be me, and after a simple salute, we would each be separated for a while, and I would then take over, but now that they were left alone, there was no guarantee that Gu Han wouldn’t suddenly uncover the cover, and things would be difficult to control if he was then stimulated.
I blame the rush, I should have brought a headset for Gao Jian, so that I could explain the situation in time.
As he was thinking of how to unravel the situation, the screen showed Gu Han suddenly going white on his feet and unsteadily holding onto the podium next to him, which was where Chen Yi was presiding.
Soon, he stumbled once again, and his whole body fell to the edge of the podium, his head colliding viciously with the podium with a sound.
Seeing this, Gao Jian hurriedly knelt down, picked him up and changed his position so that his whole body was lying in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid, someone will be here soon!” Gathering Jane lowered her voice and tried to restrain herself from revealing her identity.
When she finished, she looked up at the monitor and tried to reach out to call for help, but Gu Han’s hand grabbed her in that instant.
My entire nerves tensed up, and next to me Fu Shen Yan was already on the phone, “Start the machine, bring the car over, and be ready to resuscitate at any moment.”
Turning off the phone, his broad palm patted me on the shoulder, “It’s okay, the doctor is nearby, he’ll be here soon.”
Leaning into Fu Shen Yan’s arms, holding his hand tightly, staring at the screen, not daring to relax for a moment.
Gu Han’s eyes fluttered open and closed, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
“This time it’s genuinely crying for me, right, the voices are all a bit different, what if I can’t remember ……”
Gathering Jane turned her face and looked at him face to face through the cover, “No, it won’t, just hold on a little longer, someone will be here soon, please ……”
“Xiaoshu ……” Gu Han’s breath was weak, his eyes had lost focus, he just reached out unconsciously and tried to remove Gao Jian’s cover, “Can I, take it off? After the ceremony, you are my bride, even if no one knows, it doesn’t matter …… I want, to see you one more time, can I, Xiaoshu ……”
“Yes, yes! You uncover, as long as you don’t sleep, whatever you want!”
Tears dripped through the gap in the cover and into the corners of his eyes, rolling, blazing, melting into one.
“You’re so good ……”
The dangling hand fell hard, hitting the hem of Gathering Jane’s brightly coloured dress hard.
Gu Han closed his eyes and never opened them again.
That one tear was the closest he and his beloved had ever reached, the closest he had ever been.
Gathering Jane looked like she had gone mad and held him in her arms for dear life, refusing to let go, no matter how much we tried to persuade her.
“Gu Han is gone, let’s take him back.”
“He’s not dead, he’s just asleep, and he has to uncover the lid for me ……”
“He hasn’t said a word about loving me yet, how could he die, he won’t. ……”
Chapter 2176
Gu Han was not resuscitated in the end.
The funeral was arranged for three days later and we handled all the major and minor matters. Gathering Jane kept herself at home and did not attend.
After it was over, I took Gu Yi Yang home myself.
The door was left open, so I pushed it open straight away and went in with the children. The house was empty, with no one in sight.
The owner was gone and it was like a dead house.
The floor was dusty, and when she stepped on it, her footprints were clearly visible behind her, so it seemed that the servants had been dismissed for some time.
When I found Gaijin in the master bedroom, she was still wearing the show kimono from her wedding day, sitting with her eyes listlessly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding Gu Han’s favourite suit in her arms.
“Mum ……” Gu Yi Yang’s tiny eyebrows furrowed together, his eyes a mixture of heartache and surprise.
When I let go, he trotted over and stood in front of Gao Jian, his little hand tentatively pushing at her arm, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
She didn’t respond as if she hadn’t heard anything.
Gu Yi Yang was at a loss for words and looked to me for help.
Only then did I step in and raise my voice to say, “Gaijin? Can you hear me? I’ve brought the baby back for you.”
Still the same, motionless, as if a statue, the whole thing had fused with the ground.
“What man?”
There was a sudden ringing behind him and, thinking he was hearing things, he froze for a second before turning around as an afterthought.
The woman in the cheongsam, standing by the door, much older than me, was surveying us confusedly, and from the looks of her face, kind and pleasant, she shouldn’t be too difficult to get along with.
“I am a friend of the owner of the house, and you are?”
She was dressed in emerald pearls, not the dress of an ordinary person, perhaps a relative of Gu Han’s.
Although Gao Jian had given birth to Gu Han, the two of them had neither received a license nor held a public wedding, no name or share, and after Gu Han’s death, the Ministry of Public Security would naturally notify the next of kin.
“You’re Gu Han’s friend, right? I haven’t heard Gao Jian mention you.” The woman’s eyes were clear and she was a capable party, and without waiting for me to answer, she introduced herself, “I’m Jiejian’s mother.”
As she said this, she walked over to Gaijin, lifted her arm and tried to pull her up, but she was struggling because she had little strength in her old age.
I hurried up and reached out to help, and it took a lot of effort to move Gaijin from the floor to the bed.
“Thank you.” Gaijin’s mother gave a very faint thank you and focused on tidying up her daughter’s broken hair.
It had been a long time since she had enjoyed the feeling of being held in someone’s hands.
I had no intention of disturbing their mother-daughter reunion, but when I saw Gu Yi Yang standing by, biting his lower lip and not daring to go up to her, I couldn’t bear to leave the child behind and go.
Raising my hand, I pulled the child to me and faced Gaijin’s mother and daughter, introducing myself stiffly, “Auntie, this is Gaijin’s son, your grandson.”
I deliberately avoided the child’s relationship with Gu Han, after all, it was because of Gu Han that Jiejian had been bent on breaking up with her family in the first place.
Gao Jian’s mother turned her face calmly at her words and swept a glance, her expression not changing much, “It does look ninety percent similar to that guy, it’s his child yes.”
The tone was indifferent and detached, like an onlooker.
The words “that guy” concealed a lot of heartache and resentment.
