Chapter 982 She was fine when she left

"Sister Liu, would you like some chicken soup? I just heated it up. It's perfect for drinking now. You haven't eaten anything this afternoon, so you must be hungry. Eating something to fill your stomach will make you feel better."

Mrs. Liu, still holding her phone, looked at the chicken soup in the nurse's hand and said, "But I can't drink it."

"You still have to drink even if you can't drink. After all, your body is lacking nutrition. If you don't eat anything, it will be bad for your body."

"I know." She said something similar when she was taking care of Gu Wanqiu in the hospital. Unexpectedly, a month later, it would be her turn.

The nurse served out the soup and asked someone to feed her, but Mrs. Liu was not used to it.

"Put the soup aside and I'll drink it myself."

"good."

The nurse slowly rocked the bed, and Mrs. Liu also sat up with her back leaning against a pillow. There was a board on the bed rail that served as a table, with the soup bowl on it.

Fortunately, the injection was given in the left hand, so the right hand did not affect eating and was able to move freely and conveniently.

Mrs. Liu drank the soup mouthful by mouthful. She could tell from the taste that it was bought outside. It tasted good, but nowadays, no matter how delicious the food is, it tastes like chewing wax and has no flavor.

After drinking a bowl of soup and eating a few bites of soft chicken, Mrs. Liu couldn't eat anymore.

"Can't eat anymore?"

Mrs. Liu nodded.

The nurse did not force her. The patient who had just woken up had a poor appetite, so it was already very good for her to eat a few bites. After clearing the table, the nurse moved a chair and sat beside the bed to watch TV with her.

The nurse always had doubts in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more curious he became. He wanted to know what Mrs. Liu remembered and what happened in that short period of time that made her so emotional and burst into tears. She cried so sadly at that time, as if all the oxygen in her body was sucked out.

The nurse looked at her cautiously. Mrs. Liu's mood had not recovered yet. Although her eyes were on the TV, her attention was not on it at all. She was as dull as a puppet.

It's ten o'clock in the evening, time to go to bed.

The nurse reminded: "Sister Liu, it's time to go to bed."

Mrs. Liu had been unconscious for too long in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Gu Wanqiu's death involuntarily appeared in her mind.

"Did I turn off the TV?" the nurse asked tentatively.

"You turn it off."

After the TV was turned off, the ward became quiet and dark. The nurse heard some rustling noises beside the bed and guessed that Mrs. Liu was still awake.

She couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Liu, did something happen to you around eight o'clock? Do you want to tell me? It will make you feel better."

Mrs. Liu didn't want to feel so upset. She also wanted to find someone to complain to and tell her what was in her heart, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know where to start. It felt like there was a piece of coptis stuck in her throat, and she couldn't express the pain, and it was emitting a bitter taste.

The nurse sighed. Mrs. Liu didn't want to talk, but she couldn't force her to speak. Some things still needed to be digested by herself, and others couldn't interfere no matter how worried they were.

It was almost three in the morning when Mrs. Liu fell into a drowsy sleep. Perhaps she had thought too much about Gu Wanqiu before going to bed, and she dreamed about her.

I dreamed that she was floating on the sea, her beautiful face was swollen and pale, her body was slowly rotting in front of her, and the fish in the sea were swimming towards her and devouring her tender flesh.

Mrs. Liu was awakened by this nightmare and shouted "Wanqiu". It was this shout that woke up the nurse next door.

She opened her eyes dazedly, confused: "What's wrong?"

The nurse sat up and walked over to Mrs. Liu. "Auntie Liu, are you having a nightmare?"

"She's dead. I dreamt she was drowned. The seawater was so cold, and her body was covered in wounds. The seawater was salty, and it must have been so painful for her to be soaked in it. There were also many fish that wanted to eat her flesh, and I couldn't drive them away no matter how hard I tried. She was so beautiful when she was alive, and she loved beauty, but after being drowned, her eyeballs were almost soaked out, and her face was swollen and pale..."

The nurse was listening at the side, and the scene emerged in his mind. He was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't bear to think about it.

Mrs. Liu was also afraid, but her fear was about Gu Wanqiu. She was afraid that Gu Wanqiu would really become like in her dream.

Mrs. Liu covered her eyes and started crying again.

The nurse changed the subject: "Who is this Gu Wanqiu you are talking about?"

"She's someone I know. She's a really good girl. I took care of her for over three months. She's very beautiful. She loves the food I cook the most. She even said, 'I wish I were her mother. Why am I not her mother?'... I regret not being able to stop her when she left. I regret not making more delicious food for her. I regret not accepting her as my daughter. She's really obedient and sensible..."

In Li Jinxing's words, Gu Wanqiu is a selfish woman who does not know how to be grateful, but in Liu Sao's opinion, this is not the case.

The Gu Wanqiu she knew was the best girl in the world.

Mrs. Liu was sobbing uncontrollably, and her words seemed to be incoherent and were just whatever came to her mind. The nurse listened carefully.

"So where is she now?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head. "I don't know where she is either. She said she was going somewhere far away, wanting to see more of the outside world. I put her in the car, and she got on the boat. After she left, I lost all contact. I couldn't get through to her on the phone, and she didn't reply to my text messages. She disappeared... Mr. He said she died at sea, but I don't believe it. The news just showed the list of victims on TV, and she was among them... But I still don't believe it. She was fine when she left, so how could she die so suddenly?"

Mrs. Liu anxiously took out her phone, flipped through Gu Wanqiu's text messages, and read through them. "Look, she said the flowers in the south of the city are blooming beautifully, and the osmanthus season is coming soon. We originally agreed that when she came back Wanqiu, I would prepare osmanthus cake and osmanthus wine... and make big meat buns. She watched the sea and fed the seagulls on the beach."

Turn to the last text message: Don’t worry, everything is fine.

Mrs. Liu pointed to the text message and showed it to the nurse, hoping to get a firm affirmation from her: "The last text she sent said that she was fine, so she must be fine, right..."

It’s really hard to say. When people encounter difficulties and are trapped in desperate situations, they always like to deceive themselves.

The news reported the list of accident victims, and Gu Wanqiu was one of them, which meant that the possibility of survival was very small, extremely small.

Moreover, it was a shipwreck, so the chances of survival were even smaller. In the vast ocean, humans are so insignificant. Even if they could swim, they couldn't last long. Could they really swim to an island when something happened? That's a scene from a TV show; it's simply impossible in reality.
