Chapter 1263: Poison Attack Late at Night
"I can do anything for you. I came here to work and received your annual salary just to take care of you." Shen Yan was anxious and grabbed Gu Wanqiu's hand. He was a little afraid that she didn't want him anymore.
He is adaptable and has gotten used to this place in just a few days. He regards taking good care of Gu Wanqiu as his most important task.
The stinging pain in his eyes forced Gu Wanqiu to close his eyes, and he fell from a grayish-white world into pitch darkness. Once a person can no longer see, his sensitivity to the outside world will deepen, making him feel insecure.
"But I can't ask you to help me take a shower, right? And later on... I might be lying in bed unable to move, and need someone to wipe me. Even if you can do it, I can't adapt to it."
Shen Yan loosened his grip and said, "I understand. I'll be responsible for finding someone."
"Yes, thank you."
It is not easy to find a suitable female caregiver in a short time.
Facing the blind Gu Wanqiu, no matter how much comfort he offered, he couldn't say anything. Gu Wanqiu acted so indifferent. If he cared too much, it would hurt her heart instead.
Shen Yan asked, "Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"
"What time is it now?"
"Just after five."
"It's so late." She couldn't see that from now on, time would be dark for her. She wouldn't be able to see the sunrise or the stars and moon at night.
"I don't need to go back to the room. Go cook. When you're done, we'll eat."
"Okay, then you sit here and be careful."
"Yeah." Gu Wanqiu took the initiative to hold Shen Yan's hand. Her body was shaking a little and very inflexible. She slowly sat down with the help of Shen Yan's strength.
"Let's replace the rattan chair in the living room with a sofa so you can lie down on it and sit more comfortably."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I can buy it online and have it delivered to your door. It's your choice."
Chen Yan said "Hmm" and gently let go of Gu Wanqiu's hand. He took the broom and swept up the broken glass on the ground to prevent Gu Wanqiu from getting hurt.
Today was supposed to be a very happy day after buying a car, but Gu Wanqiu suddenly lost his sight.
The first time he heard Gu Wanqiu say that she was about to die, he didn't have much feeling except that he was surprised and felt a little sorry for this woman.
Maybe it didn't seem real enough, and I thought a year was a long time... But in fact, a year was too short. After becoming more and more familiar with Gu Wanqiu, I felt that time passed faster and faster, and I wished there would never be a tomorrow.
"Should I turn off the TV?"
"Don't turn it off, just leave it there..." I can't see with my eyes, and it would be even more scary if I couldn't hear any sound.
"I'm going to cook." Shen Yan's nose felt a little sour. He went into the kitchen, sealed the fresh ingredients he bought today with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. While cooking, Shen Yan's throat was always blocked, as if he was choked by thick smoke, and his eyes were sore.
He had been enduring it. Gu Wanqiu could no longer see with her eyes, but she could still hear with her ears.
Isn’t it said that after becoming blind, one’s hearing will get better?
Chen Yan didn't want Gu Wanqiu to hear him crying, so he could only endure it. After the rice was cooked, he made soup as usual. Cooking was very simple for him and he didn't need to stay in the kitchen all the time.
But if he went out now, he didn't know how to face Gu Wanqiu. It was impossible for him to act as if everything was the same as usual. He couldn't act calm about her blindness.
Chen Yan made mullet soup, which did not require any bones to be picked out when eating, and was just right for Gu Wanqiu now.
Dinner was ready before six o'clock.
"It's time to eat." Shen Yan shouted loudly. He took out the bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table. Thinking of Gu Wanqiu's eyesight problems and the difficulty she had eating, he took a spoon.
With a bowl of fish soup and a plate of vegetarian dishes, Chen Yan took Gu Wanqiu's hand and slowly helped her to the table.
Gu Wanqiu's leg is lame, and now her hand is injured and she has problems with her eyes.
Chen Yan looked at her pale face, and only then did he truly feel that Gu Wanqiu was really about to die.
"I've poured you a bowl of soup. I'll feed you first."
"What kind of soup is it?"
"Fish soup, boneless."
"I'll do it myself. You put the bowl in front of me." Gu Wanqiu pretended to be fine and smiled. "While I can still move, I want to move more. When I can't move anymore, you can feed me later."
Chen Yan said in a muffled voice: "Okay."
Gu Wanqiu held the bowl and spoon in her hand, leaning over to drink the soup: "Is this soup a little bland?"
"It's better if the soup is lighter. If you think it's too bland, you can eat more vegetables." Chen Yan picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it on the plate beside her: "I picked up some food for you, try it."
Gu Wanqiu groped her way to the plate. It was the first day since she became blind, and she was hesitant to do anything. She felt frustrated that she couldn't control her body. Gu Wanqiu picked up the vegetarian dish from the plate, but it was still very bland and tasteless.
"Does it smell?"
Gu Wanqiu didn't want to make Shen Yan worry, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
The five senses disappear, and the first week it disappears is vision. So what will disappear next? It feels like a blind box.
If she had to choose one, Gu Wanqiu would choose between smell and taste. She didn't want to lose her hearing.
The TV was still on, still the boring financial channel. Chen Yan noticed that every time a clip introducing Li Jinxing appeared on TV, or when Li Jinxing started speaking, Gu Wanqiu's movements would stiffen.
It was hard for him not to think too much about whether Gu Wanqiu liked Li Jinxing.
But it is normal to like Li Jinxing. Li Jinxing is a young, tall, rich and handsome man. There are many women who like him, but for someone like Gu Wanqiu, they would not even dare to dream of it.
After Gu Wanqiu lost her sight, Chen Yan had to do more. In the past, he only had to do housework, but now he had to carry Gu Wanqiu around. When she wanted to go to the bathroom, he had to carry her and wash her face. He would not leave until she went to bed.
No matter how light Gu Wanqiu is, it would be tiring to carry her all the time.
Gu Wanqiu asked Chen Yan to bring her bag over and gave him the bank card inside: "There is no password, you can use this card. I can't see now and can't transfer money to you."
"I have money..."
Gu Wanqiu grabbed his hand and stuffed the bank card into his hand: "Here."
Shen Yan could only hold it.
After returning to his room, Chen Yan started buying necessities for the blind online, such as guide sticks and communication watches. He bought a lot of them at once, and tens of thousands of yuan was lost from the card.
Gu Wanqiu's identity is a mystery to him. She has many secrets. She lives in such a remote place with a terminal illness and has a bank card with 10 million yuan on it.
Chen Yan doesn't like to pry into other people's affairs. As long as Gu Wanqiu doesn't take the initiative to speak, he won't ask.
Everything that needed to be bought was bought, and he would find a female nurse to help him tomorrow. He should find someone because there was only so much he could do alone. Sometimes when he went out to buy things, Gu Wanqiu was alone at home, and if he stumbled and fell, there was no one to call out to.
…
On the other side, Gu Wanqiu, who had acted very calm in front of Shen Yan, hugged the bear tightly in her arms after Shen Yan left. She clenched her teeth, her whole body trembled, and tears fell heavily.
No matter how scared she was, she couldn't cry anymore. Her eyes were swollen from crying. If Chen Yan saw it, he would be worried.
Even though she became blind, Gu Wanqiu still lit a night light while lying on the bed. The fur of the plush bear in her arms was wet with her tears. Gu Wanqiu patted the button on the bear's chest, and the voices of two children came from it.
They sang for her, gave her beautiful blessings, and wished her peace, joy, and success in the days that she was away from them.
In the middle of the night, Gu Wanqiu was awakened by the pain. Normally, she just had to endure it. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she would get up and take painkillers to make herself fall asleep.
The room was not soundproof, and Chen Yan slept next to her, so any movement she made would be heard by the neighbor next door.
When she was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she liked to order people around and would not do things herself if she could avoid doing them. After she had Li Jinxing, it became even more convenient. She could order him around to do all kinds of things and even enjoyed it.
Now, she just wants to live a quiet life without bothering others.
But tonight, she didn't take any painkillers. The pain spread through her blood to every part of her body. Even if she broke her teeth, she would still cry out in pain.
Gu Wanqiu remembered where she put the medicine. She wanted to find it by herself, but she tripped when she got out of bed, and a groan broke through her teeth.
The painful whimpering was particularly harsh in the middle of the night and was immediately heard by Shen Yan next door.
Chen Yan couldn't sleep tonight. After finally falling into a light sleep, he heard a bang from next door. He immediately turned over and got out of bed. His body's subconscious reaction was faster than his brain. By the time he reacted, the door had already been pushed open.
There was a night light on in Gu Wanqiu's room, so when he opened the door, he saw Gu Wanqiu lying on the ground, shaking in pain and sobbing.
Her voice was broken and hoarse, her face was turned sideways towards the foot of the bed, her hair was messy, and her body was like a puppet about to fall apart.
Gu Wanqiu, who was in pain from the poison, didn't know that Shen Yan had come in until Shen Yan squatted down and touched her body.
Gu Wanqiu couldn't suppress it. It was so painful and so dark. She felt deeply what it meant to be worse than death. She was afraid that before she died, she would be tortured to death.
How long had it been? Three months? Could she really last a year?
Chen Yan squatted on the ground, daring only to touch Gu Wanqiu's shoulder. It was the first time he saw Gu Wanqiu like this, and it seemed as if she would die in the next second.
He bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to calm down, then picked up Gu Wanqiu and put her on the bed. With the night light shining on her, he could see how scary Gu Wanqiu's face was. Her already pale face was covered in cold sweat, and she looked like a piece of white paper fished out of the water.
She opened her mouth and breathed deeply, tears and sweat kept flowing, dripping onto the bed sheets and staining them. Just by looking at her face, he could feel how much pain she was in.
"Miss Gu, I'll take you to the hospital."
Gu Wanqiu was already suffering from the pain and lost consciousness. Her mind was blank, her gums ached from biting them, and her ears were buzzing. She was already thin, and now all the meridians in her neck were exposed. Her clavicles were deeply sunken, and her ribs were clearly visible.
Gu Wanqiu slowly woke up when she felt someone holding her. She heard Shen Yan say that he would take her to the hospital, and she quickly grabbed his hand.
He said weakly, "I'm not going to the hospital."
Shen Yan's voice came from the buzzing ears, "But your body is already like this."
"My condition can't be cured even if I go to the hospital. Otherwise, why do you think I moved here alone?" Did she really have no money to see a doctor? She knew that she was incurable and the hospital could only prescribe painkillers, which were useless for her condition.
She felt that Shen Yan was still moving while holding her, and he was probably thinking of sending her to the hospital. With her physical condition and blindness, she was afraid that she would never be able to leave the hospital once she entered.
Although she was in Rongcheng, there was still a chance of running into Li Jinxing. Even if there was only a 0.1 percent chance of running into him, she didn't dare to take the risk and walk out of here to go to the hospital.
"Chen Yan, please..." Gu Wanqiu gasped and said with difficulty, "I can't go to the hospital... Don't send me to the hospital..."
She said "can't" instead of "don't want to". The difference of one word, but the meaning was completely different. Shen Yan was nervous and didn't notice it at all.
Gu Wanqiu had a tough attitude. If Shen Yan wanted to send her to the hospital, it would be easy and she couldn't stop him at all.
"If you don't go to the hospital, what will you do in your current situation?"
"I have medicine. It will be fine after taking it. Please find the medicine for me..."
After hearing her say this, Shen Yan had to put her back on the bed.
"Where's the medicine?"
"In the dresser drawer, right-hand drawer, white capsule."
Chen Yan hurriedly found the medicine and went to get a glass of water. He tried to calm himself down and fed the medicine to Gu Wanqiu.
"Will you feel better after taking the medicine?"
"Well, it will pass if you bear with it. Don't be nervous or scared. I'm used to it. It's really okay... Don't keep thinking about sending me to the hospital. I really don't like going to the hospital..."
The more Gu Wanqiu spoke, the weaker her voice became. It was already very difficult for her body, tortured by pain, to stay awake. But in order to calm Shen Yan down, she could only endure it and muster up her willpower to comfort Shen Yan.
She is much older than Shen Yan. In her eyes, the man in front of her is like her younger brother.
Shen Yan didn't say anything.
Gu Wanqiu couldn't see it, and didn't know whether Chen Yan heard it or not.
At this moment, Shen Yan had his back to her and was secretly wiping away his tears.
How did Gu Wanqiu say these words?
Habit? Just bear with it and it will pass.
He saw how much pain she was in. Her mouth was bleeding from biting. Could she just endure it?
Fate is really wonderful. Once involved, it is very difficult to extricate yourself. He cannot ignore Gu Wanqiu. Seeing her in pain, he will also feel uncomfortable. He wants to share her pain, but he can't do anything.
"You are still so young. What disease do you have? Why did you become like this? Why are you dying soon?"
