Chapter 1260 Too Many Regrets
In addition to a mobile phone and a bank card, He Tian also gave her a bottle of medicine.
"Painkillers, take less. Once you finish them, they'll be gone."
Gu Wanqiu knew the effect of this medicine. It was a painkiller that could paralyze the nerves. When the pain reached its extreme, one could take one pill to make oneself faint. Once fainted and asleep, one would not feel the pain. It should not be taken unless it was absolutely necessary. Taking too much of this medicine would only make the already short life even shorter, like a candle in the wind, fleeting.
He Tian reminded her, and Gu Wanqiu held the medicine bottle and accepted it.
"Think carefully about what you haven't taken with you. If you leave now, you won't be able to come back."
Gu Wanqiu shook her head. The only thing she took away was the teddy bear that Siyan Sixu returned to her.
The sky was completely dark at this moment. Because it had rained, the air was cold and foggy, without a single star.
Fortunately, there were street lights to guide the direction. Gu Wanqiu used the street lights to take a last look at this place.
I used to regard this place as a cage, and always wished I could grow a pair of wings and fly out, but when the time came to leave, I couldn't bear to leave.
If a bird is kept in captivity for a long time, it will lose its wildness. Even if it grows wings, will it not be able to fly?
Gu Wanqiu lowered her eyes, and it was obvious that she was thinking about something. He Tian didn't know what she was thinking about.
He saw what happened in the past few days. Li Jinxing deliberately found someone who looked very similar to the former Gu Wanqiu and brought her around to show their affection, just to piss off Gu Wanqiu.
If Li Jinxing could really fall in love with someone so easily, he wouldn't have been single for so many years.
You know, during the ten years when Gu Wanqiu disappeared, there were at least a hundred women who were brought to Li Jinxing's sight, and some of them were comparable to Gu Wanqiu, but Li Jinxing just didn't like any of them.
He knew these things, but Gu Wanqiu didn't.
It was obvious that Gu Wanqiu cared, but He Tian didn't intend to explain.
He Tian personally closed the door for Gu Wanqiu, and this farewell was to be forever.
Gu Wanqiu rolled down the car window: "He Tian."
"What else?"
"One last thing I ask of you. Please, take good care of Li Jinxing."
Li Jinxing is such a grown-up, why does he need his care? However, when he saw the pain in Gu Wanqiu's eyes, he still agreed.
"I will." He might not be able to take good care of him, but if Li Jinxing made any mistakes in the future, he would help him in time.
Gu Wanqiu curled the corners of her lips with bitterness, closed the car window, and leaned against the door.
After watching the car drive away, He Tian went back to the house and took out his mobile phone to check today's surveillance video. Gu Wanqiu had really been looking for her outside for an entire afternoon, kneeling on the ground in the rain. She seemed to be confessing and praying.
When she found the watch, her happiness could be felt just from her back. She took the watch and wiped it on her clothes again and again before putting it on her hand.
Even if Li Jinxing, who held a grudge against Gu Wanqiu, saw this scene... he would be moved, right? He would want to hold the whole woman in his arms and stop questioning their relationship.
She seemed to love that person very much... She supported her tattered body, endured the cold, knelt among the rose thorns, endured the unbearable allergies, and followed him step by step...
Li Jinxing must never be allowed to see such a scene.
…
Gu Wanqiu looked at the car window, seemingly staring outside, but in fact she was looking at her blurry self in the car window.
She touched her face, the rash on her neck, the puncture wounds on her face.
I am so ugly... How come I have aged so much... No wonder Li Jin didn't even look at her before leaving. What's so good about a face like that?
Gu Wanqiu coughed muffledly and coughed up blood. She lowered her head and swallowed the blood that had already reached the root of her tongue. Her face was extremely pale. In the middle of the night, if someone suddenly glanced at her, they would be scared.
Gu Wanqiu's body was cold, and her ugly expression attracted the attention of the driver in front.
"Miss Gu, I see you look very unwell. Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup and to treat your wounds?"
Gu Wanqiu replied in a muffled voice: "No need." Even if she went to the hospital, her illness could not be cured.
"Can you turn on the air conditioner? I'm a little cold."
How could it be so cold? Seeing Gu Wanqiu shivering even in her long sleeves, the driver turned on the air conditioner in the back.
Gu Wanqiu saw a blanket in the back seat, covered herself with it, opened the medicine bottle, and took a painkiller.
She couldn't bear the pain anymore. Gu Wanqiu found a comfortable position, hugged the teddy bear tightly in her arms, curled up in the corner and closed her eyes.
Not long after taking the painkillers, she began to feel dizzy and sleepy. The pain in her body gradually disappeared, and she gradually became unconscious.
The raindrops as big as beans hit the car, making a bang bang sound. The fog was also heavy. The driver drove carefully. The wipers kept scraping the rain and the rearview mirror was not clear. The driver had to drive the car to the side and stop to wipe the rearview mirror.
It takes twelve hours to drive from Haicheng to Chengdu, and that's under normal circumstances without traffic jams. But it's raining today, and if we encounter a traffic jam in the middle, it will take at least fifteen hours.
Safety is more important. It was already very late, so the driver decided to find a hotel to rest. He asked Gu Wanqiu's opinion behind him and called out a few times, but there was no response. Looking back, he saw Gu Wanqiu still sleeping. She had been sleeping for four hours since she got on the car.
The driver had to make his own decision. In the early morning, he found a hotel. They had already left Haicheng and the rain had stopped.
The driver got out of the car, opened the back door, and was about to ask Gu Wanqiu to get up and go to the hotel to rest, but he heard a faint sobbing sound. Gu Wanqiu was crying with a frown on her face.
How sad am I that I cry even in my dreams?
The sobbing sound accompanied by the sound of the cold wind made it sound particularly sad and miserable. Tears kept flowing. The driver hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and pushed Gu Wanqiu awake.
"Ms. Gu, wake up."
After pushing for nearly half a minute, Gu Wanqiu slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes felt sore and her vision was blurred. She wiped the wet corners of her eyes.
“Are we… here yet?”
The driver explained, "We're not there yet. It's more than ten hours' drive, and we're only a third of the way there. It's too dark and foggy now, so it's a bit dangerous to drive right now. So I found a hotel to rest up. We'll leave tomorrow morning after a night's rest and arrive this afternoon."
"good……"
Gu Wanqiu was still dizzy when she woke up. She wanted to get up and get out of the car, but she couldn't even move her legs.
The driver held out his hand: "Let me carry you in."
When Gu Wanqiu got into the car, it was He Tian who carried her in. He saw clearly that her leg was injured.
"Thank you for your help."
The driver immediately carried Gu Wanqiu into the car. Her weight shocked the driver for a moment. Gu Wanqiu was wearing a lot of clothes. From her appearance, her face was very thin, but her body was not. When he carried her in his arms, she was even lighter than he had imagined.
He is 1.68 meters tall and weighs only 70 kilograms. He is so thin that only bones are left.
The driver carried Gu Wanqiu to the hotel front desk and used his ID card to book two rooms. He first sent Gu Wanqiu to the room. Their rooms were next to each other. Worried that something might happen to Gu Wanqiu alone, the driver also gave Gu Wanqiu his phone number.
The night passed quickly and uneventfully. The driver got up at six o'clock and had breakfast. He waited for Gu Wanqiu until seven o'clock. He took He Tian's money and promised him that he would take good care of Gu Wanqiu along the way, treating her as his employer and putting her first in everything.
So since Gu Wanqiu didn't get up, he didn't want to urge her.
The driver was about to go to the supermarket to buy something when a new text message popped up. It was from Gu Wanqiu, asking him when he could leave.
"You're done packing, you can leave now."
"I've packed it."
"Then I'll pick you up at your room."
The driver picked up Gu Wanqiu and took her to have breakfast first. No matter whether she was hungry or not, she had to have breakfast as the first meal in the morning. With Gu Wanqiu's health, it was obvious that she was malnourished without a check.
Lack of nutrition in the body will cause hypoglycemia. If you skip breakfast and your blood sugar is too low, you will easily get motion sickness.
There is a supermarket outside the hotel, so the driver decided to buy some food. The house He Tian chose for Gu Wanqiu is halfway up the mountain in Chengdu. It takes a long mountain road to walk, and there will be no restaurants on the way. So he bought some food so that he could eat when he was hungry on the way.
Gu Wanqiu touched the watch on her wrist, watching the time pass by little by little.
The road scenery outside gradually became familiar. From the highway to the mountain road, the more remote the mountain road was, the more winding it was. Gu Wanqiu felt a little carsick, and the driver had to stop the car to let Gu Wanqiu rest.
After driving for ten hours, we finally arrived.
The place He Tian arranged for her was indeed very remote. If she got sick here, she might not be able to find a doctor. However, the scenery was quite beautiful, and the house looked like a purchased B&B, with very local characteristics.
Gu Wanqiu fell in love with this place at first sight. Living here, the number of times she would run into Li Jinxing was indeed zero.
Gu Wanqiu had been sitting in the car for more than ten hours, her body was so weak that her legs were shaking when she got off the car.
The driver took out the key and opened the door. He had been here once with He Tian. Naturally, he was more familiar with this place than Gu Wanqiu. He took her to familiarize herself with the surroundings. The room had everything, including a large refrigerator filled with fresh ingredients. There was also a vegetable garden not far from the house. The vegetables and meat were enough for Gu Wanqiu to eat for several months, until she died.
The air here is very good and it is very quiet. It is suitable for nourishing the body and also for waiting for death.
There is a camellia tree next to the vegetable garden, with a few camellia fruits on its branches and leaves. This is different from the camellia tree planted by Li Jinxing in Qiule Manor. I don’t know if it will bloom this year.
"If you need anything, you can call this number and they will deliver it to your door." The driver gave Gu Wanqiu the phone number of a purchasing agent.
Gu Wanqiu took the business card and put it in his shirt pocket.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Gu Wanqiu waved at him. Gu Wanqiu, leaning on a crutch, entered the yard with difficulty. It was a two-story courtyard with the bedroom downstairs and the leisure area upstairs.
Gu Wanqiu didn't have the strength to climb the stairs, so she sat on the rocking chair in the yard, holding a stuffed bear in her arms, enjoying the warm breeze and basking in the sun.
September is coming soon after August. Li Jinxing’s birthday just passed, and it will be her turn next month. She is getting more and more ill now. I really don’t know if she can hold on until her birthday.
The doctor said she had less than a year to live, but only two or three months had passed.
Gu Wanqiu's small body curled up in the rocking chair, and she wrapped her shirt tightly around her.
Thinking that she was about to die, Gu Wanqiu tightly grasped the ring around her neck and could no longer hold back her tears.
She was dying, she was really dying...
She still has many regrets. She has not truly loved someone, has not had a serious relationship with Li Jinxing, and has not told him how she feels at this moment.
Gu Wanqiu no longer expected Li Jinxing to still love her. She only hoped that Li Jinxing could treat her as a passerby, think about her occasionally, and not resent her.
In addition to Li Jinxing, she was also thinking about Si Yan Si Xu, and Xiao Sui who had just been born.
Her body would lash out with poison several times every day, and today was no exception. However, she had already taken painkillers once and couldn't take them again. She could only endure it. All the bones in her body were aching, as if they were slowly breaking.
Now she would vomit blood every time she felt pain. She had gotten used to it. When the blood was about to overflow from her throat, she would cover her mouth with a tissue and spit blood onto the tissue. The thick stack of tissues would be soaked through.
It hurts...all her internal organs hurt...it hurts from the inside out, so much so that she can't breathe normally.
Sometimes, she really wanted to die immediately so that she wouldn't have to suffer all this torture.
Gu Wanqiu clenched her teeth tightly, trying to divert her attention. She played the recording in the plush bear, which contained songs and words that the two children had recorded for her.
When she couldn't take the medicine, she would listen to the recording. The recording was so short that she could memorize it by the end. The two children's baby voices rang in her ears. She closed her eyes, as if they were right in front of her. She hugged the little bear tightly, as if she was hugging them.
…
Li Jinxing returned to Qiule Manor in the morning. When he arrived, it was still dark, only five o'clock.
Why did he come back so early? Maybe he had a glimmer of hope of seeing Gu Wanqiu.
It’s a pity that Gu Wanqiu had left a long time ago, and the house was deserted. The huge manor was now as quiet as a haunted house.
It was he who told Gu Wanqiu to get out. He also gave everyone in the villa a holiday, telling them to leave immediately and not to help Gu Wanqiu.
Gu Wanqiu had a broken leg, no cell phone, and no money. Leaving here to live outside was extremely difficult. Even if she did leave, where could she go? Who could she turn to for help? Where could she go in her current state?
Li Jinxing admitted that he was making things difficult for Gu Wanqiu. When he let her go, he did not forget to give her problems in order to embarrass her.
During the years that Gu Wanqiu was with Gong Qing, she was raised to be a "waste" who knew nothing and knew few people. Gong Qing, the only person who could help her, had used her before and has now been deported abroad. It can be said that Gu Wanqiu is now helpless and alone.
However, this time Gu Wanqiu listened to him very much and really left before he returned. There was no trace of her anywhere.
