"Mr. Gu, your recovery has been good these past few days, and the possibility of your old injury relapsing has been ruled out. The previous deterioration might have been caused by some kind of stimulation. So from now on, you must stay calm and rest well. Your eyesight will gradually recover, and soon you will be able to see again."
Gu Ningyi nodded lightly, his face unconsciously tilting slightly as he looked towards the little bed.
Did she hear it? Would she... be happy for him?
"Then, Mr. Gu, you should rest first. Call us if there’s anything you need."
The doctor closed the medical record book, gave a few more brief instructions, then turned and left with the nurse. As he passed by Zhou Yalin, he hesitated for a moment, about to greet her, but Zhou Yalin shook her head slightly, signaling him to remain silent.
The doctor nodded knowingly and continued to walk out.
The ward quieted down. Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes were still steadily watching the little bed, a hint of warmth slowly rising in his gaze, one that even he didn’t notice.
Zhou Yalin stood by the bed, her gaze slowly falling on his face, her lips gradually curling into a smile, though it was full of irony.
Gu Ningyi wanted Dong Xin Yan to stay and take care of him because he felt familiarity and a sense of the past in her.
In the past... he was , seriously and intently watching Dong Xin Yan. Although he couldn’t see anything, he was always able to accurately ascertain her location.
And she always stood far away, watching him show his gentleness, heartache, obsession towards her...
Every scene was like a sharp blade of ice, piercing fiercely into her heart.
After so many years, she thought this nightmare had ended, had been deeply buried by time, yet she didn’t expect everything from the past to replay. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novelꜰire.net
As if it were an inescapable fate.
She worked so hard to reach this point today, how could she accept it all disappearing into thin air?
Gu Ningyi, you can’t treat me .
I am your fiancée, the one who can stand by your side, not the one who... silently cries behind you.
Back then, she was able to make Dong Xin Yan disappear, and now, she can do it again.
No matter how many times history repeats itself, she can firmly grasp her happiness!
Gu Ningyi silently watched for a while, with many things he wanted to say in his heart, and many things he wanted to ask, but when the words reached his lips, he simply said in a low voice, "Xiao Xin, did you hear what the doctor said?"
The ward remained quiet, but Gu Ningyi knew she definitely heard. He paused and continued, "Tomorrow will be a week, but I hope... you can stay with me until I recover."
He still didn’t have the courage to ask if she was Dong Xin Yan, but he hoped that when he reopened his eyes, he could see her first.
"If you agree, could you clap your hands?"
How long ago was it that Gu Ningyi was so gentle, so humble, so careful?
All these years, even during the initial passionate moments with Gu Ningyi, he was always indifferent towards her, neither warm nor cold. He gave her flowers, gifts, dined with her, dated her, and although he did everything a boyfriend would do, she could never feel any affection from him. It felt more like... perfunctory.
