Chapter 182 That’s My Life-Sustaining Medicine
Perhaps influenced by Shen Zhichu's words, Li Jingshen had nightmares all night long.
I dreamed that Shen Zhichu was lying alone in the hospital, his body full of medical equipment, with an oxygen mask on his face and taking a thin breath.
He wanted to ask her what was wrong, but no sound came out. It felt like there was a thorn stuck in his throat, causing unbearable pain.
He rushed over and wanted to hold her in his arms, but Shen Zhichu's body slowly became transparent on the bed, like a fragile soap bubble that disappeared with a slight touch.
The surroundings immediately fell into darkness. He groped for Shen Zhichu but couldn't find him. Shen Zhichu's faint voice seemed to ring in his ears.
"Li Jingshen, I'm dying..."
Li Jingshen suddenly woke up, and Shen Zhichu was nestled in his arms. He breathed a sigh of relief, but the tension in his heart could not disappear.
…….
Chen Zhichu got up very late, her face showing fatigue, it was obvious that she had not slept well. The chain on her feet had not been loosened. She could only move around the room and could not even open the door.
At half past eight in the morning, Li Jingshen took a car to the company. Chen Zhichu sat by the glass window, the curtains were half drawn, and the room was half dark and half bright.
The maid came in to deliver the food to the room. Instead of opening the door, she pushed the food in through the rectangular window that was converted from the wall.
Chen Zhichu turned around when he heard the ringtone and saw the breakfast pushed in. Milk and sandwiches are foods that people with stomach cancer should avoid.
The maid stood outside: "Madam, it's time for breakfast."
Seeing that Shen Zhichu didn't move, the maid said again: "If you don't eat, Mr. Li will be angry again when he comes back."
Shen Zhichu finally reacted when she heard "Li Jingshen". She stood up, dragging a long iron chain on her ankle, and staggered over. She sat on the carpet and ate the sandwich bite by bite. When her throat was choked, she drank milk.
But she really had no appetite and couldn't eat anymore after a few bites. The maid had been waiting for her outside and saw that she was eating in slow and disjointed movements.
"Ma'am, if you really can't eat anymore, then don't eat."
Shen Zhichu shook his head and forced the last bite of the sandwich into his mouth and finished it.
"I'm done." She put the empty plate on the tray.
The maid bent down to take out the tray, and after taking two steps, she couldn't help but look back at Shen Zhichu, who was still sitting on the ground.
For some reason, the maid suddenly thought of the wolfdog she raised in her hometown in the countryside. Because it was too wild, she always kept it tied with a chain. When feeding it, she would just put a plate on the ground and wait for it to eat.
That wolf dog was extremely difficult to tame. It would bark at everyone it saw, and even after being beaten several times, it still wouldn't obey. Later...
An old man in a neighboring village was bitten by a mad dog and died of rabies. The villagers took sticks and beat all the dogs in the village to death one by one, and the tied wolfhound was not spared.
She remembered that the dog barked miserably that day, its nostrils were bleeding, and its eyes were open all the time, from bright to dim.
It's so immoral...but now it seems there are things that are even more immoral than that.
Li Jingshen came back early today. After hearing the housekeeper say that Shen Zhichu had a good meal today, he curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
Afraid that Shen Zhichu would be bored in captivity, he even brought her a gift.
He went upstairs carrying a suitcase. The bedroom door had a password fingerprint lock. He opened the door and went in. Shen Zhichu was lying on his side on the bed facing the window.
"Chen Zhichu, get up and see what I brought back for you."
Shen Zhichu was like a robot that was about to run out of power. After hearing Li Jingshen's voice, he sat up tremblingly, and turned his gray eyes to the box in Li Jingshen's hand.
Shen Zhichu opened the box, and inside was a violin. Li Jingshen had specifically learned about Shen Zhichu's interests in school, and knew that she liked the violin and had studied it for five years.
If the Shen family had not finally fallen on her, she might have gone abroad to study violin and become an excellent violinist.
Shen Zhichu is indeed talented in this area. The violin is known as one of the most difficult instruments to learn in the world. She has reached level A3 after five years of study.
The estimated price of this violin is 30 million, or even higher.
"Do you like it?" Li Jingshen said as she kept staring at him, "Do you want to try it?"
"Do you want to listen?" Shen Zhichu didn't say he tried it or liked it, he just asked Li Jingshen if he wanted to listen.
Li Jingshen paused, then reacted and said "I want to"
Shen Zhichu was about to reach out to take it, but Li Jingshen saw that her nails were a little long.
"Wait, cut your nails." Li Jingshen found a nail clipper from the drawer and sat beside the bed, holding her hand and cutting her nails.
Chen Zhichu had beautiful hands with slender joints and thin nails with a light pink hue. Li Jingshen was very careful not to hurt her. After cutting the nails of all ten fingers, Li Jingshen put down the nail clippers, took out the violin and put it in her hands.
Shen Zhichu was weak, and the weight of the violin was not light, so her hands were shaking. With the violin on her shoulder, Shen Zhichu closed her eyes slightly and held the bow. She tested the sound and only started to play the violin after making sure it was correct.
The chorus of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence has a whole tune with ups and downs, which makes people unable to help but get caught up in it. It is very depressing, like a person in despair asking for help, waiting for someone to help her.
Shen Zhichu stopped playing halfway through. The violin was very demanding mentally and physically, and she didn't have enough energy to play a complete piece.
Shen Zhichu put down the violin: “Can you ask someone to go back to Bancheng and get my things?”
"What's yours?"
Shen Zhichu opened her mouth but before she could say anything, Li Jingshen interrupted her thoughts.
"I've asked someone to buy you new clothes, and I've also asked someone to prepare your skin care products for you." Shen Zhichu was locked up here all day long and couldn't go out. What else did he need when he didn't even have freedom?
"I need the medicine from the drawer."
Li Jingshen's face changed. When he thought of the medicine in the drawer, he thought of the aphrodisiac she took that night. It seemed that Shen Zhichu still had the idea of abstaining from sex and didn't want to get pregnant with his child from the bottom of her heart.
"There are doctors in Repulse Bay. They have all the medicine you need. If you're sick, there's someone to see you, even if you need surgery."
Shen Zhichu choked, pulled the corners of his lips and finally said nothing.
The anti-cancer medicine she had placed in the glass bottle seemed to be broken. Her fingers unconsciously curled up and clasped her palm.
His chest ached with every breath, and the heart in his chest seemed to have turned into a bell, being struck hard by a huge hammer, as if it was on the verge of breaking. The trembling sound gradually spread throughout his body.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she asked, "Li Jingshen, my medicine is not ordinary medicine, it is a life-saving medicine that can save me, do you understand?"
Li Jingshen didn't understand. He had seen that those bottles were nothing more than some health supplements. Those colorful medicines in glass bottles without labels looked like three-no products.
The "life-extending medicine" that Shen Zhichu mentioned was probably just another name for aphrodisiac.
Li Jingshen pursed his lips slightly, a hint of annoyance covering his handsome face.
