Chapter 208 You Have to Find Your Own Way Home
Shen Zhichu had a dream. In the dream, she saw Bai Qiu. Bai Qiu smiled and stretched out his hand to her. When she reached out to shake his hand, the gaps between Bai Qiu's fingers were thin, and endless cold wind passed through Shen Zhichu's fingers.
"Chu Chu, I can't carry you home anymore. This time you have to find your way home by yourself..."
Chen Zhichu looked at Bai Qiu's face, and his smile gradually faded, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
"Bai Qiu... I don't want to cry, nor do I want candied haws, nor do I want you to carry me on your back... Please don't abandon me... I have nothing left, only a wish from more than ten years ago. I've been wrong for sixteen years now, please don't let me keep making this mistake..."
She was in so much pain. The wind in her dream seemed to have turned into a knife and tore her into pieces. She was torn inside and out, but her heart hurt even more.
She was lying on the ground, her ten fingers were pierced by steel needles and bleeding all over the floor. She watched Bai Qiu being shot in the chest. She could do nothing, not even stop the kidnappers from throwing him into the sea.
The scene in the dream changed. She was tied to a cross. A man wearing a ghost king mask had a faint light in his brown pupils. He held a syringe in his hand and injected clear liquid into her blood vessels.
He controlled her mind so that she wouldn't faint, and watched him cold-burn her body with tweezers and dry ice.
"Don't touch me... It hurts, please kill me, Li Jingshen, save me... Don't send me out... Li Jingshen, why don't you answer my call, please answer the phone... Please..." His body was shaking violently because of the pain.
What crime had she committed to deserve such torture? She just wanted to live a good life. She just loved a boy when she was young and wanted to marry him.
She longed for a normal life and hoped to smile every day, but now everything was ruined by the man she had been married to for five years.
She fell into despair again and again, and fell into pain. She comforted herself and learned to be strong. She never thought about how glorious her life would be and just wanted to spend the rest of her time in peace. But why was he so cruel to her?
Tears fell one after another, and Shen Zhichu uttered a sound from his throat: "It hurts."
Li Jingshen, who was standing by the bed, couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster. Fear came like a tide, wave after wave. He quickly rang the bell to call the doctor.
In just two minutes, five or six doctors rushed over.
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Li?"
"She just cried out in pain."
The leading doctor wiped the cold sweat from his face, came in and performed a series of tests on Shen Zhichu. After confirming that his body had returned to normal, he said, "Mr. Li, your wife's brain nerves have just responded. It is normal for her to feel pain. After all, she is no longer a vegetable."
It was a miracle that Shen Zhichu could wake up within three months. After tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes four hours ago, Li Jingshen hurriedly called the doctor from the hospital over.
But she hadn't opened her eyes yet, and Li Jingshen felt uneasy, afraid that she would fall asleep again. Hearing her scattered talking in her sleep, he felt like his heart was about to be crushed.
"When will she wake up?"
"Within twenty-four hours."
Li Jingshen expressed his concern: "If she doesn't wake up on time, will she fall into a coma again?"
This is not impossible, but the probability is very low. The doctor comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Li."
Chen Zhichu will wake up, Li Jingshen smiled with relief but also became more worried.
From Shen Zhichu's dream talk just now, he vaguely heard "Bai Qiu" and "back". Could it be that she already knew everything?
Li Jingshen felt a chill run down his spine when he reached this conclusion. From Shen Zhichu's dream talk and the injuries on her body, Li Jingshen could already vaguely guess something.
Bai Qiu was with Shen Zhichu just before the accident. As for what happened afterwards and why there were traces of Bai Qiu on Nanshanya, it must be related to the person behind the scenes.
What happened to those ten calls he didn't answer?
Ten missed calls, Chen Zhichu’s ten useless fingers…
Li Jingshen suddenly realized something and supported his forehead.
It's all his fault!
How should he face Shen Zhichu when she wakes up and confess to her that it was Bai Qiu, not him, who saved her home more than ten years ago? But Bai Qiu is already dead.
She had harbored grudges against him for a long time, and now she hated him to the core.
In the past, Li Jingshen thought he was not afraid of anything and could handle anything, but now he realized that he was afraid of many things.
He was afraid that Shen Zhichu would not wake up, afraid that Shen Zhichu would leave him, afraid that Shen Zhichu would collapse after learning the truth, afraid that she would no longer want him...
Li Jingshen stood by the bed, his body felt heavier than ever before, even his breathing was trembling.
"Zhichu..." In the quiet ward, Li Jingshen's hoarse voice was filled with regret and pain.
As if she heard her own name, the distinct eyelashes on her tightly closed eyes trembled. Shen Zhichu struggled to open her eyes. When her blurry vision focused on Li Jingshen's face, her eyes suddenly widened. Her eyes, which had just been clear, suddenly became dull, and fear was entangled deep in her eyes.
