Chapter 1242 The Broken Bird Without Legs
She wanted to find her own way to leave here. The second floor was not high, and she would not die if she jumped down. At most, she would break one leg.
She was not afraid, as long as she didn't die here and didn't let Li Jinxing know that it was her who gave him the blood transfusion.
Human motivation mainly comes from hatred. Hatred can drive people to progress and grow, and can bring perseverance. Although love can also produce sacrifice and courage, its duration is far less than that of hatred. For Li Jinxing, love is weakness and may even become his weak point.
When people are not strong enough, love does more harm than good, making them incompetent, decadent, afraid to take risks, and afraid of losing.
No one wants to see Li Jinxing living in the guilt of losing Gu Wanqiu.
So the only way is to let him hate her before he loses her. It would be best if he could completely let her go and no longer remember her.
This has always been He Tian’s goal, and Gu Wanqiu also understands it.
She owed him so much over the years, and she repaid him with her life. She hoped that he would have a bright future and infinite power, using hatred and exploiting hatred until he was a million times stronger than everyone else... That would be good.
…
What she did next would not only make Li Jinxing hate her even more, but the two children would also probably resent her for taking advantage of them.
Even if they hate her, dislike her, blame her... she can bear it.
No matter how hard it is, she only has less than a year left.
Gu Wanqiu first stood on the chair, dragging the iron chain on her feet. Her slender figure was like a blade of grass in a storm, swaying in the wind and looking like she would fall out of the window in the next second.
Maybe it was because she hadn't felt the wind for a long time, she felt that today's wind was particularly comfortable, as if a pair of hands were gently hugging her.
She opened her arms and fingers, feeling the wind blowing through her body. The car in the distance was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped below.
Gu Wanqiu shouted in her heart.
Li Jinxing, look quickly... look up quickly...
Li Jinxing got out of the car and seemed to feel something. He looked up, and just one glance made his eyes bloodshot. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet. He tried to rush over, but his feet seemed to be entangled by invisible vines.
Every time he came home, the two children would run out to greet him, and this time was no exception.
Si Yan and Si Xu had been sitting on the sofa since they came downstairs. They ran out when they heard the sound of a car outside. Just as they were about to come out, Li Jinxing shouted, "Stop! Don't move! Don't come out!"
Li Jinxing's sudden shout startled the two children, and they dared not move at all. They moved away, and when Li Jinxing looked over again,
Gu Wanqiu already had one foot on the windowsill. He opened his mouth, but the sound was stuck in his throat and no sound came out. She had already fallen from the tall building.
Without any hesitation, as if just to let him see, she was ready to jump down from above the moment he looked up.
The iron chain on Gu Wanqiu's feet was only enough for her to go to the bathroom in the bedroom. There was a distance between the bed and the windowsill. Gu Wanqiu stood on the window and flipped down. The chain on her feet restrained her.
She was like a kite, flying high in the wind, and then falling from the sky when the wind stopped.
The chain on her ankle was long enough for her to move freely in the bedroom, but not long enough for her to fall to the ground on the first floor. She jumped up, and the long chain pulled her right ankle. She was hanging upside down in the air, and her bones were torn apart by the strong tearing. Her body was light in the air, swaying and hitting the wall, just like a kite hanging on a tree branch without wind.
Such pain made Gu Wanqiu faint, and her screams were stuck in her throat and stopped abruptly.
The tearing at that moment didn't feel very painful. When the body was stopped by the chain on the feet, dizziness and tinnitus were imminent. It was as if fireworks were going off in the brain, and it fell from the dazzling white into endless darkness.
It was very painful. For Gu Wanqiu, it was unbearable pain. But fortunately, her health was poor and she fainted in an instant, her face as pale as gold paper.
Li Jinxing looked at Gu Wanqiu's face facing him, and all the past events emerged in his mind.
The dusk at 5 p.m. was particularly dazzling. The chain seemed to be stained red with blood. It was clearly tied to Gu Wanqiu's right foot, but he felt as if his neck was also tied. He couldn't breathe and had difficulty breathing. He felt like he was going to suffocate here.
The poison in his body should have been gone, but why did his heart and internal organs still hurt like when he was poisoned? He wanted to dig a hole in his chest and dig out all the aching internal organs.
"No...Gu Wanqiu..." Li Jinxing's eyes were bleeding, and he lost all reaction as if struck by lightning.
The blood seemed to be boiling, rushing through the body, and a fishy and sweet taste came from the throat.
The collapse was silent. Li Jinxing moved towards Gu Wanqiu. His feet were so heavy that it was extremely difficult for him to move a step. He stumbled and fell down.
The driver who got out of the driver's seat also widened his eyes when he saw this scene.
As for the two children standing inside, they didn't know what was going on. They were so scared by Li Jinxing's scolding that they stood there in shock. After seeing their father's ferocious face and then stumbling and falling to the ground, they wanted to rush over worriedly.
Fortunately, Li Jinxing regained his senses and knew that this scene must not be seen by the two children.
"I told you to stand there and don't move. Don't come out. Sister Wang, take them back to the room and don't let them out."
"yes……"
The two children had no idea what was happening outside. Why did their father scold them? Why didn't he let them go out? Why did he look at them with such a fierce look?
There was a noise coming from outside. Just now, it seemed like something fell from above, making a collision sound.
The wind was too strong at the moment. Siyan was being held by the nanny. He turned around and looked at the tree opposite through the glass. The kite hanging on the tree was blown up by the wind.
The wind was so strong this afternoon. Mom must have felt it in her room. Now, is she standing by the window, enjoying the wind, breathing in the fresh air, and watching the kites flying high outside?
After comforting the two children, Li Jinxing stood up.
Gu Wanqiu was hanging upside down in the air in a strange posture. Her right leg, which was tied by a chain, was obviously broken. Her health was not good to begin with, and this jump would at least result in a fracture. If she hung upside down for too long, her life would definitely be in danger.
Li Jinxing didn't dare to delay any longer, so he asked someone to wait downstairs and then he rushed upstairs. He opened the chain with trembling hands, controlled the strength to pull the chain, and approached the window little by little. He didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that one rash move would "tear" Gu Wanqiu's body in half.
His palms were sweating, his whole brain was tense, his scalp was numb, and his hands were shaking. He was so scared that his eyes were hot.
He slowly lowered Gu Wanqiu down until the person below caught her steadily.
After Gu Wanqiu was let down, Li Jinxing did not relax. His whole body was still tense, and his legs were so weak that he almost knelt on the ground. He held on to the window sill tightly.
The summer wind blows on my body, and it’s freezing cold.
Li Jinxing didn't have time to rest. After asking someone to carry Gu Wanqiu in, he turned around and rushed downstairs.
You don't need to look at Gu Wanqiu's leg to know that it is broken. The knee is dislocated and the tibia is fractured. The whole leg is badly injured. It hurts just to look at it and it's unbearable to look at.
The chain was also stained with blood, and in order to treat her leg, they had to remove the cuffs on her right ankle.
The ankle was red and swollen, the skin and flesh were turned outward and bleeding, and the bone was turned inward and broken.
Gu Wanqiu's entire face was pale and bloodless, and there was a bump on his forehead where he had hit the wall.
She was in tatters, like a bird without legs.
Li Jinxing's composure collapsed at this moment. He stood in front of Gu Wanqiu, as if he had been hit by a needle, motionless. Gray despair enveloped him and his breathing was suffocating.
It was the driver who called the doctor, and it was the servants who cleaned up the room. No one dared to touch Gu Wanqiu now. Her body seemed like it would fall apart with the slightest touch.
There were still a lot of people around, and there were people standing at the door. Everyone was breathing and moving, making rustling sounds.
Li Jinxing felt particularly quiet, and this quietness was directed at Gu Wanqiu. He could not hear her breathing or feel her heartbeat.
Gu Wanqiu would not die in this way.
Even if she died, she would be consumed by him bit by bit. At least she would live to the day when she was old and gray, instead of dying so early and in such a "painful" way.
Gu Wanqiu, aren’t you afraid of pain?
How dare you...
How did Gu Wanqiu push open the window, how did she climb up, and with what kind of mood did she jump up.
If he was not mistaken, Gu Wanqiu jumped out of the window when she saw him get out of the car and yell at the two children not to come out.
There was still a smile on her face just before she jumped out of the window.
The second floor was not high, and there was a lawn below, so she might not die if she fell down. Besides, there was a chain tied to her feet, which slightly restrained her and prevented her from hitting the ground.
It’s just that Gu Wanqiu’s body was too fragile, and she was covered in bruises and half-dead.
The doctor came and said that Gu Wanqiu's leg needed surgery and a cast. Part of the bone in her ankle was broken and needed to be fixed with steel nails.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and you have to rest in bed for at least two weeks.
There were three injuries on the right leg. The only lucky thing was the left foot, which was only a skin injury. In addition, there was a hit to the brain, and concussion cannot be ruled out.
The family doctor doesn't live at home all the time. She recently prescribed some medicine for Gu Wanqiu and gave her an IV. After seeing that she was getting better, she went home.
Gu Wanqiu was in very poor health. She suffered from severe malnutrition and anemia, which resulted in a very poor immune system. Other people's colds might heal in two or three days, but for her it would take eight or nine days. Other people's finger cuts could heal completely in a week, but for her, it would take two or three weeks.
Like now, her right foot is broken and she doesn’t know how long it will take to heal.
Every time the family doctor came here, it was to see Gu Wanqiu. Others came to see a doctor to restore their bodies to normal, but when it came to Gu Wanqiu, the condition became more and more serious.
I’m afraid that the next time she comes, Gu Wanqiu will die.
The family doctor definitely couldn't handle it alone, so the servants also contacted the team of doctors who had originally lived here to conduct research. After learning that Gu Wanqiu had a broken leg, they didn't dare to be careless and came with their tools.
Gu Wanqiu is different from others. Her body is toxic and abnormal. With her current condition, a cold and fever will cause great damage to her body, not to mention fractures and skin injuries.
All medicines are poisonous. If I use too much medicine, I’m really worried that Gu Wanqiu won’t make it.
"One leg was seriously injured in three places. How did this happen?" she asked.
The room was very quiet. No one responded to her question and the atmosphere was frozen.
Li Jinxing had a sullen face, with an unbreakable gloom between his brows and dark eyes without any warmth. Everyone present was afraid of Li Jinxing.
The doctor looked around and when no one spoke, she lowered her head and turned to leave the room.
The driver left with her. After they left, the driver said, "Ms. Gu, she fell from the building."
"Second floor?"
"Um."
"I remember she had a chain on her foot."
“Yes.” The driver’s eye twitched. “So she’s not on the ground. She’s hanging upside down in mid-air by a chain.”
Just listening to it, her legs suddenly started to hurt and tremble slightly.
I finally understood why the right leg was injured so badly but the left leg was fine. It turned out that it was broken in this way.
She had been to the second-floor room before. The windowsill was at an adult's chest level, so how could she have fallen? She had obviously jumped down by herself.
It was such a high point, with grass below, that the chances of dying from a fall were low. Furthermore, she was chained, and since she was active, Gu Wanqiu should have known the chain wouldn't reach the ground. She knew jumping wouldn't kill her, but would only cause her pain and suffering, so why did she jump? Was it to provoke Li Jinxing?
This time he jumped out of the window, but next time I don’t know what he will do.
If a person has no desire to survive and is cruel to herself, she can kill herself even if there is nothing around her.
You can die by hitting your head against the wall, biting your tongue, strangling yourself with an iron chain, or even starving yourself to death by doing nothing.
There is a saying in the hospital: doctors can save lives, but they cannot save someone who is determined to die.
Li Jinxing has also calmed down and gradually figured things out.
This time, Gu Wanqiu might not be seeking death, but using her own body to threaten him.
Li Jinxing looked indifferent and restrained.
He went to the children's room. The two children were sitting on the bed restlessly and silently. The nanny followed Li Jinxing's instructions and kept watching them from inside, not letting them go out.
Si Yan and Si Xu also had a premonition that something was wrong. Since they came in, they have been silent. One of them sat on the bed, and the other squatted on the ground.
After Li Jinxing came in, the two children stood up at the same time.
"dad……"
Li Jinxing chose to ignore the two children's frightened expressions. He called the nanny out, closed the door, and locked the two children inside.
"Didn't I warn you not to open the windows in the room? Who opened it?" His words were full of hostility.
The nanny's heart trembled, and her back felt cold: "I didn't open it, and I don't know why it was open."
