He let out a muffled groan, his brow furrowed tightly, his hands pressed against the bed, trying to stand with its support. However, although he hadn’t been drinking, his entire being felt as if he were drunk, his body limp, devoid of all strength.
Just like that summer long ago, when he fell into endless darkness, giving up on himself.
But back then, there was a girl who stayed by his side, persistently encouraging him, forcefully pulling him out of the darkness.
Now, she’s gone, isn’t she...
The girl who could pull him out, she’s already left, without a backward glance, she’s gone.
Gu Ningyi couldn’t stand up; he just sat there leaning against the bed. His eyes, which could still see faint light, began to perceive less and less, and before him, everything grew darker and darker.
Gu Ningyi blinked slowly, lifted his hand absentmindedly, moving it stiffly, but he couldn’t see anything...
Dong Xin Yan rushed to the elevator entrance in one breath, forcefully pressing the button. As soon as the door opened, she quickly walked in and then vigorously pressed the close button. Only when the elevator door closed did she, as if paralyzed, slide down against the tempered glass of the elevator, collapsing onto the floor.
Gu Ningyi earlier... so terrifying.
Clearly, he was just standing there, speaking so calmly, yet his whole body exuded a fierce aura, as if an Asura emerging from Hell.
If she were a step slower, he would have dragged her into Hell.
Even now, having left, fear surged in waves within her, her heart pounding as if it might leap out of her chest.
Slowly, she placed her hand over her heart, taking deep breaths, gradually calming her racing heart.
But suddenly, for some unknown reason, there was a hitch in her heart, a sharp constriction, an inexplicable tugging pain in some soft place, as if... something... bad had happened. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fiɾe·net
Dong Xin Yan furrowed her brows tightly; this feeling was strange yet familiar, like before her mother left when she was a child, and before Ziyang was about to have an accident...
Is something bad going to happen again?
Ziyang, could it be him?
Gu Ningyi had called to withdraw the complaint, he had let him go, nothing will happen to Ziyang, it won’t.
Yes, don’t overthink it, don’t scare yourself!
Dong Xin Yan closed her eyes, took a deep breath several times, trying to calm herself, slightly smoothing her emotions, then slowly stood up, her hands clenching before she pressed the button for the first floor.
As the elevator began to descend, the doctor and nurse hurriedly passed by the elevator door, with the nurse anxiously saying to the doctor, "Doctor He, Mr. Gu was recovering well, but for some reason, his condition suddenly deteriorated, and now he can’t see anything... could it have really relapsed?"
Doctor He’s face quickly darkened, sternly saying, "Don’t panic yet, I’ll go take a look. You call Young Master Yuan."
Yuan Shen hadn’t actually left; he was sitting all along in the cafe opposite the hospital, because in his heart there was always a faint feeling of ominousness. So when he received the nurse’s call, he couldn’t help but stand up, violently kicking over a chair beside him.
As Dong Xin Yan walked out of the hospital, her phone suddenly rang.
