Chapter 108: It’s not that I’m reluctant, it’s that I don’t want to take responsibility
She found it boring to think that she would have to be entangled with Gu Huai and Jiang Sese for the rest of her life.
She wasn't reluctant.
From the very beginning, he was certain that she wouldn't dare to make a move, which was why he was so fearless and calm.
Lu Zhenzhu suddenly calmed down. She took the initiative to hold the hilt of the knife, "Who wants to go back to the old days with you? I can't go back, and I don't want to go back."
"It's not that I'm reluctant, it's that I don't want to take responsibility."
She pointed at the phone on the bedside table and said, "Turn it on and record the video. Whether you are dead or alive, you asked me to do this. It has nothing to do with me."
Gu Huai's eyes suddenly became very deep.
He let go of her hand, turned on the recording on his phone, and repeated what she had said to the camera.
Raising his phone, he looked at her calmly and chuckled, "Are you going to do it?"
The man remained calm, without a trace of anxiety or fear.
There was a fierce look in Lu Zhenzhu's eyes. She didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so she exerted force on her wrist.
Gu Huai looked down at her, his calm face suddenly changed color, and he looked at the fruit knife that pierced into the flesh in disbelief.
"You begged me to do this." Lu Zhenzhu looked at the overflowing blood, her heart trembling, and she quickly loosened the knife handle. Her face turned pale, and she pressed her shaking hands with her knees.
Gu Huai caught a glimpse of her trembling hands and pale face, and uttered a low, hoarse laugh, "Azhu, should I praise you for being brave?"
Lu Zhenzhu didn't say anything, her nerves were tense, and her eyes were fixed on his wound.
"You're not calling an ambulance?"
Gu Huai walked towards the sofa. "Don't worry, we have the video as evidence. You won't be responsible even if I die. Or... are you really afraid that if I die, you will be a widow?"
He sat down on the sofa and turned to look at her, "If you're afraid I'm going to die, then call an ambulance for me."
Her cell phone was on the bed, but Lu Zhenzhu didn't reach out to touch it. "I'll call an ambulance for you..."
Knowing what she was going to ask next, Gu Huai's face darkened slightly. "As long as I'm not dead, you're not a widow. Forget about divorce."
"Do you really want a divorce?" His eyes were dark and sharp, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
Lu Zhenzhu said without hesitation, "Yes, I dream of divorcing you and living my own free and easy life."
Her unthinking answer made Gu Huai purse his lips and remain silent. His heart was very upset. He leaned back, the light fell on his handsome face, and he pushed the fruit knife inside.
Lu Zhenzhu's scalp tingled and her eyes widened. "What are you doing?"
Gu Huai's lips turned pale, his slender fingers still gripping the hilt of the knife. He smiled at her, "I will help you realize your dream."
"Azhu, you're not ruthless enough. Only if you hit harder will the blood flow faster, and then you can live your carefree life."
As he finished speaking, he pulled out the fruit knife again.
Looking at the bloody blade, Lu Zhenzhu opened her mouth but no sound came out for several times.
Seeing that Gu Huai's hand began to move again, she quickly got up from the bed, rushed to him as fast as she could, and reached out to stop the man from stabbing the blade into the wound again.
In a panic, she grabbed it with her hands.
Gu Huai's eyes narrowed and he moved his hand to the left, preventing the blade from hurting her.
Lu Zhenzhu grabbed the fruit knife and threw it away. Seeing his eyes turn red, she gritted her teeth and called 120.
She took out a piece of soft fabric from the closet, covered his wound with it, helped him up and walked outside.
She had just opened the door when Gu Huai stopped moving. His lips had turned pale due to excessive blood loss. "You can't divorce me once we leave this door. Are you sure you want to take me out?"
Lu Zhenzhu didn't want to pay attention to him and walked out.
Gu Huai thought she agreed, and Aunt Zhang saw them as soon as they left.
Seeing Gu Huai's white shirt covered in blood, Aunt Zhang was terrified and trembling, "Madam, what happened to Mr. Gu?"
Lu Zhenzhu didn't answer her, but just said, "Help me help him get down."
Aunt Zhang saw that she was unwilling to say more and did not ask.
It was raining heavily outside. Lu Zhenzhu was waiting on the first floor. Gu Huai had fainted from excessive blood loss. She was restless and paced back and forth around the sofa. When she heard a knock on the door, she immediately opened it and sent Gu Huai to the ambulance.
She was about to go with them, but after two steps she stopped and said, "Aunt Zhang, you go with me."
Aunt Zhang was stunned. "Madam, you're not going?"
"I'm not going." Lu Zhenzhu turned and walked towards the living room.
Aunt Zhang was dumbfounded.
What should she do?
The hospital staff urged her, so Aunt Zhang could only follow with her cell phone.
Lu Zhenzhu sat on the sofa, feeling cold all over. She sat for a long time before getting up and going upstairs step by step.
Looking at the fruit knife on the ground, she picked it up, washed the blood off and put it on the table, changed into pajamas and sat up until dawn, until she was woken up by the alarm clock she set. Looking at the prompt on the alarm clock, Lu Zhenzhu took her bag and went to a hospital.
She found Zhao Yaoyao's ward based on Zhao Pingquan's information.
The door of the ward was not closed, and she heard Zhao Pingquan's gentle voice as she stood at the door.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, Dad will find a suitable bone marrow transplant for you."
Zhao Pingquan cut the peeled apple into small pieces before giving it to his daughter lying on the hospital bed. His eyes were kind and gentle.
This kind of look has been in Lu Zhenzhu's memory for a long time.
That was something she had only as a child.
She went to see Zhao Yaoyao.
The girl on the bed didn't look much younger than her, only three or four years younger.
"You are... Zhenzhu, right?" Wang Li was holding breakfast in her hand.
Her voice attracted the attention of two people in the ward, and Zhao Pingquan came over excitedly when he saw her.
"Zhenzhu, Dad knew you would come to see Yaoyao."
Lu Zhenzhu felt bitter in her mouth when she saw his joyful smile.
He was not so happy to see her. He was happy because he thought she came to the hospital just to donate bone marrow to Zhao Yaoyao.
"Yaoyao, call me sister quickly." Zhao Pingquan pulled her into the ward and spoke softly.
"Sister Zhenzhu." Zhao Yaoyao looked pure and lovely, and called her obediently.
Lu Zhenzhu didn't respond, but just said to Zhao Pingquan, "Go and see if it's suitable. If it is, I want you to promise me one thing."
Zhao Yaoyao looked sad, "Mom, does Sister Zhenzhu dislike me?"
Wang Li touched her daughter's face to comfort her. The smile on Zhao Pingquan's face disappeared and he frowned, "Zhenzhu, Yaoyao called you, why didn't you answer?"
His unpleasant tone and accusatory look were like a needle piercing Lu Zhenzhu's heart.
"My mother only gave birth to me, so where did my sister come from?" She said with a cold expression.
Zhao Pingquan's face was dark, and Wang Li tried to smooth things over. "Pingquan, it's only natural that Zhenzhu can't accept Yaoyao for a while. Don't blame her. Take her for a checkup first."
Zhao Pingquan took her to see a doctor, and they didn't say a word on the way.
After Lu Zhenzhu finished the examination, he rushed over and grabbed the doctor's hand, "Doctor, you must tell us immediately when the results come out. Yaoyao can't wait any longer."
The doctor pulled his hand away and said, "I'll tell you the results as soon as they come out. But she's pregnant, so if we can avoid the transplant, we won't. Please look for other options."
Zhao Pingquan didn't hesitate for a moment before saying, "She can do it."
