Chapter 1021 That’s Camellia
Her entire face became very stiff. The anesthetic hadn't worn off yet, and she had lost feeling in many places. It felt like her entire face had been torn off and a mask had been casually put on. Her face was no longer her own face.
The restraints on her body were loosened, and Gu Wanqiu subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her face, but her hands were too weak.
She stared at the ceiling of the operating room with her red eyes. The glaring light shone into her eyes, and her dark pupils were still misty. The strong light had been on her for too long, and her vision was blurred and everything she saw had shadows. The doctor quickly asked someone to turn off the lights.
"Miss Gu, watch your eyes and don't stare at the light for too long."
After being trapped in darkness for too long, Gu Wanqiu was a little scared and didn't dare to close her eyes again. At this moment, her hand was held.
It’s Gong Qing.
Gong Qing held her hand, which was soaked with cold sweat, and squeezed her stiff fingers.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Gu Wanqiu's heart settled, and a small "hmm" came out of his throat.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear it at all. Gong Qing heard it. The person was pushed out and sent to the observation room next door. The plastic surgery had just begun, and it would have to be done later, and fine-tuning would be needed to ensure naturalness.
Of course, there are also lucky ones where the surgery is completely successful and achieves the ideal state, so there is no need for further fine-tuning, but this situation is generally rare. After all, Gu Wanqiu needs surgery from head to toe, and a complete makeover is a major operation.
She couldn't open her mouth, couldn't eat, and could only be fed with nutrient solution.
The nutrient solution is to maintain the body's functions. When the stomach should be hungry, it will still be hungry, uncomfortable, and craving for food.
But now she couldn't open her mouth, and even swallowing was difficult. She could only drink water in small sips. It was too difficult to eat, and she could only endure it day by day.
Gu Wanqiu didn't like hospitals in the first place. Lying in bed unable to move, every day was very boring. She also had to endure the pain after the facial anesthesia. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as "living is worse than death."
She already lacked a sense of security, and after being "locked" in such an environment, her spirit gradually began to lose control. She wanted to cry loudly, wanted to vent her emotions, wanted to touch the face wrapped in gauze, wanted to tear off the gauze, wanted to look in the mirror to see how much she looked like before.
But she still had her rationality, and a voice in her heart stopped her. She couldn't act rashly, and she couldn't have any unnecessary expression on her face, not even crying.
One morning, she couldn't control herself and wanted to move her face. Fortunately, the nurse discovered it in time, controlled her limbs, and called a doctor to hold her down and tie up her moving limbs with restraints.
This was the scene Gong Qing saw when he arrived at the hospital. Gu Wanqiu was tied up, and several medical staff surrounded her and kept saying something. Fortunately, the doctor injected her with a sedative in time and she calmed down.
At this moment, she was like a fish thrown onto the shore, breathing in pain with her mouth open. But no matter how she breathed, her chest felt uncomfortable and heavy as if it was pressed down by a heavy stone, and she couldn't breathe.
She wanted to leave here, she wanted to go back, Gong Qing... Gong Qing, where are you, I want to go back... I don’t want to stay in the hospital.
So uncomfortable...
The air in the hospital was so stuffy that she felt like she was suffocating.
"Qiuqiu, how are you? Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here." Gong Qing held Gu Wanqiu's cold hand tightly.
Gu Wanqiu slowly turned her head towards Gong Qing. Her pupils, which had originally dispersed with anxiety, slowly shrank back, and finally the light in her eyes fixed on Gong Qing's face. Gong Qing's appearance was reflected in her eyes.
"It hurts... Gong Qing, it hurts... My face is gone. I dreamed that my face was gone and it was all covered in blood. My face hurts so much... I almost don't know who I am. No... I don't know who I am in the first place. Who am I? Why am I called Gu Wanqiu? Who am I... Who am I..." Gu Wanqiu's hoarse voice was very unpleasant, like the harsh sound of chalk rubbing against a blackboard.
Gong Qing wanted to hug Gu Wanqiu tightly, but Gu Wanqiu's face had not recovered yet. She had just completed plastic surgery and was like a vase that had been pieced together after being broken into pieces. She showed her caution in every way, so he didn't dare to hug her tightly.
"Your face is fine. Don't be afraid. I will always be here with you. I will never leave and I will never leave your sight again. I will tell you who you are. You are Gu Wanqiu, my Qiuqiu. I will not let you forget who you are. I will be by your side to remind you again and again, Wanqiu, hold on a little longer. Let's get through this most difficult period. You have made it through these five years, and you can do it now too."
Gu Wanqiu couldn't listen at all and she fell into panic.
Yes, she had suffered many injuries, and she did survive the five years that Gong Qing mentioned, but she had lost her memory and couldn't remember it.
She also thought that enduring the pain would become a habit, but it didn't. The pain only made her more painful, until she went crazy.
It's like a thorn stuck in her throat. If it's not taken out, even breathing will hurt. How could she possibly get used to it?
After being injected with a sedative, she couldn't go crazy even if she wanted to, and her body couldn't move. Gong Qing kept talking in her ear, but she didn't hear everything he said. However, her originally restless heart gradually calmed down. Gong Qing's voice seemed to be more effective than the sedative, and it hypnotized her, and she fell asleep soon.
Gong Qing did not feel relieved when he saw Gu Wanqiu sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.
A normal person would become irritable and restless if he was locked up in the hospital for such a long time to undergo plastic surgery, let alone Gu Wanqiu.
Gu Wanqiu has always been a person who cares a lot about her face. Even though she has lost her memory and is disfigured now, she still cares about it. If she didn't care, she wouldn't have agreed to plastic surgery so quickly.
After the operation, her face had to be wrapped with gauze. The nurse would come regularly every day to check and change the dressing. During this time, she couldn't see what her face looked like, and she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. After all, her face hurt, and she could feel that her face was swollen.
It was impossible for Gu Wanqiu to leave now. After all, she had already taken a step forward and had no room to retreat. Fortunately, she woke up quickly. After the sedative wore off, she woke up from her dream and had completely calmed down.
Of course, she was still afraid, but with Gong Qing by her side, never out of her sight, she wasn't so scared anymore.
Gong Qing turned down all the work, held a book in his hand, and told Gu Wanqiu a story to distract her.
The smell of disinfectant in the ward was too strong, so Gong Qing wanted his assistant to buy a bouquet of flowers and put them in the ward.
"What flowers do you like in late autumn?"
He actually knew that Gu Wanqiu had always preferred roses, but she was allergic to them. He also didn't know that Gu Wanqiu couldn't remember her previous preferences after losing her memory.
Gu Wanqiu looked out the window and pointed at a tree downstairs in the hospital and asked, "What kind of flowers are blooming on that tree?"
Gong Qing looked over and said, "That's camellia."
