Chapter 231 Li Ruochu visits Shen Yubai
After Li Ruochu hung up the phone, she bit her lip slightly, a hint of hesitation and worry flashed in her eyes, then she slowly looked at Feng Yizhou and explained softly: "Chen Yubai is going to have surgery, the situation is critical, I don't know if he can get off the operating table, Lin Yin called and wanted me to go over."
There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, and she knew in her heart that this matter might bother Feng Yizhou.
Feng Yizhou was slightly stunned, and a complicated expression flashed across his face.
To be honest, he didn't want Li Ruochu to have any contact with Shen Yubai anymore. After all, he knew very well how Shen Yubai felt about Li Ruochu.
However, human life is at stake, how can he stop it at this time?
After a moment of silence, Feng Yizhou sighed softly, looked at Li Ruochu with eyes full of understanding and tenderness, and said, "It's my duty. Go and take a look."
"I'll take you there." Feng Yizhou was really worried about Li Ruchu facing all this alone. He knew very well that the atmosphere in the hospital was already depressing.
In addition, Li Ruochu must be feeling bad having to face Shen Yubai's current condition. He wants to stay with her and support her.
The car slowly stopped in front of the hospital entrance, and Feng Yizhou accompanied Li Ruchu into the hospital in a hurry.
The smell of disinfectant was overwhelming. Although people were coming and going in the hospital, there was an inexplicable quietness and depression.
They walked quickly along the long corridor towards the ward where Shen Yubai was.
After arriving at the ward, Li Ruochu saw Shen Yubai lying on the bed at a glance.
His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were tightly closed, as if he was in an endless sleep.
The man who was once full of vigor and vitality now seemed so fragile, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
Lin Yin was sitting on the bed, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tears. The moment she saw Li Ruochu, a flash of surprise and excitement flashed in her eyes, and the next second, tears burst out again uncontrollably.
She stood up, walked quickly to Li Ruochu, held her hand tightly, and said in a tearful voice: "I really didn't expect you to agree to come. I am really grateful to you."
Lin Yin's heart was filled with guilt and emotion. After all, she had done so many excessive things to Li Ruochu before, but this woman still let bygones be bygones and rushed over at this time.
She knew very well that Li Ruochu was indeed a broad-minded person. In comparison, her previous behavior seemed so narrow-minded.
"Don't say so much now," Li Ruochu looked at Lin Yin's grief and felt a little sorry for her. She gently patted Lin Yin's hand and comforted her, "What did the doctor say? What's the situation with Shen Yubai's illness?"
Looking at Shen Yubai's current condition, which had already reached the stage of surgery, Li Ruochu knew that his condition must be very serious.
"Chen Yubai suddenly vomited blood while working," Lin Yin took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but her voice still trembled. "When he was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that the cancer cells were spreading very quickly, but he refused to come to the hospital for treatment. So now his condition has been delayed and is very serious. Even the doctor is not sure whether Shen Yubai can get off the operating table during the operation."
As Lin Yin spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes again. She was filled with regret. If she had known it would be like this, she should never have done things that made her regret.
"I'll go see him." Li Ruochu said softly, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.
Feng Yizhou was very tactful this time. He understood that Li Ruchu might want to talk to Shen Yubai alone at this moment, so he did not follow him. Instead, he quietly stepped aside, leaving them space to be alone.
Shen Yubai had just fallen into a deep sleep due to the pain. In his sleep, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was entangled in a nightmare. Finally, perhaps he dreamed of some terrible scene, his body trembled violently and he suddenly woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were still a little blurry. When he saw clearly that Li Ruochu was sitting next to him, Shen Yubai was stunned at first, then he laughed at himself, his voice hoarse and with a hint of fatigue, he said softly: "Chuchu, I dreamed of you again."
At this moment, he seemed to be still immersed in the illusion of dreams and reality, with an unreal trance in his eyes.
Shen Yubai subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Ruochu's hand.
This time, the touch he felt was not empty and cold like in his dream, but real and warm.
However, Shen Yubai did not care about the practical significance of this touch. He seemed to be lost in a self-confession and continued slowly: "Chu Chu, since our divorce, I often dream of you, dreaming that we went back to the past, back to those good times we spent together. At that time, the sun was always so bright, and our smiles were so sincere."
He paused for a moment, a trace of pain and helplessness flashing in his eyes, "But I also know that there is no way for the two of us to go back to the past. Those beautiful days will eventually become only memories."
"Chen Yubai, you are not dreaming. I am here to see you." Li Ruochu looked at Shen Yubai's haggard appearance, feeling mixed emotions. She gently withdrew her hand, frowned slightly, and looked at Shen Yubai in front of her with a hint of blame and concern, saying: "Why don't you receive treatment? Why do you insist on working even though you are already sick? You are ruining your body like this. Aren't you afraid that the people who care about you will worry about you?"
There was a hint of anxiety in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on Shen Yubai, trying to find the answer from his eyes.
After hearing this, Shen Yubai seemed to be touched in the softest part of his heart. He slowly closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said in a nearly whispering voice: "I just want to keep myself busy so that I won't feel the pain."
Ever since his divorce from Li Ruochu, Shen Yubai felt as if his heart was torn apart, and the pain in his heart was greater than any physical pain.
He knew that he had lost such a good woman, and now he ended up in such a situation. It was indeed his own fault and it was fate's punishment for him.
"I saw Feng Yizhou's circle of friends. You guys got your marriage certificate. Congratulations!"
Shen Yubai tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth and force a smile, however, because of his pale and thin face, the smile seemed particularly strange, like a forced mask, hiding endless bitterness and sadness behind it.
A trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. However, his slightly trembling lips still revealed the turmoil in his heart.
