Dong Xin Yan picked up her phone, looking at the numerous missed calls from Yuan Shen. Her heart suddenly tightened. The time she agreed to meet Yuan Shen was... 9 AM, and Yuan Shen had repeatedly told her to be punctual, yet now...
Dong Xin Yan dared not think further, almost crawling and tumbling into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and got dressed. There was no time for makeup; she just slapped on some face cream, swiftly tied her hair into a ponytail, put on sunglasses and a hat, then haphazardly packed a few clothes. Grabbing a bag, she dashed out of the house at full speed and hailed a taxi to the hospital.
Yesterday, in the end, she succumbed to Yuan Shen’s threats. Whether or not Yuan Shen knew about her true deal with Gu Ningyi, she couldn’t afford to gamble.
However, she did manage to secure a deadline.
For one week, she would care for Gu Ningyi day and night. After that, whether his eyes healed or not, she would have nothing more to do with him.
Moreover, during this week, her identity must remain secret.
When Dong Xin Yan arrived at the hospital, Yuan Shen’s call came through again. She looked at the jumping name on the screen, took a deep breath, and answered, beating him to speak, "Sorry, I’m late. I’m already at the hospital entrance, heading up immediately."
Finishing in one go, Dong Xin Yan decisively ended the call.
Yuan Shen’s full fury was completely blocked by her. He paused for a moment, then slammed his phone heavily onto the table.
This woman, Dong Xin Yan, really is...

Gu Ningyi heard the commotion and slowly glanced over in his direction, his deep voice sounding, "What? Got pissed off by a woman again?"
Yuan Shen looked at him, sullen, and angrily said, "Yes, got pissed off by a woman!"
Except this time, it’s not his woman, but his!
Yet, he couldn’t say this.
Gu Ningyi lazily curled his lips, not responding further, simply withdrawing his gaze lightly, becoming very quiet again.
Unlike the car accident when he was eighteen, even though he was depressed and despondent, at least he vented his true emotions. But this time, from start to finish, he remained quiet.
Even, when his eye condition worsened, likely a recurrence of an old ailment, he just stared blankly for a moment, then became even quieter.
This kind of quietness brought a violent unrest within his heart.
He watched him, quietly leaning against the headboard, sitting with a calm expression, dark eyes dull, thin lips touched with a pale shade, as if... the whole world had collapsed. Even in blindness, even in an all-black world, it seemed... there was no difference.
This him, made him even more afraid. Afraid that Dong Xin Yan might become the last straw to break him!
That’s why he was so angry yesterday, resorting to such extreme measures to threaten Dong Xin Yan.
No matter what, he couldn’t... let Yi go back to that most painful and darkest time.
Yuan Shen wiped his face forcefully with his hand, clenched his hands, restraining his voice, slowly saying, "Yi, your eye examination results won’t be out for a week, during this week, you must be extremely careful and attentive, so... I’ve arranged a caretaker for you, to help look after you, she’ll be here soon."
As soon as Yuan Shen finished speaking, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open. Yuan Shen instinctively looked over, only to see Dong Xin Yan slowly entering.
