Chapter 222 Accustomed to Enduring Pain
Shen Zhichu only knew that she had a serious stomach problem, but she didn't know that she had stomach cancer.
Gastric cancer is also accompanied by pharyngitis. Every time I take medicine, I can't help but feel like vomiting. I try hard to hold back the dry heaves, and tears flow down the corners of my eyes.
Taking medicine became a torture for Shen Zhichu. He could only eat one-third full for lunch, and the remaining few points were saved for medicine.
"Why do I have to take medicine every day? Can I not take it?"
"No." Li Jingshen rejected it directly. He could agree to anything she asked except taking medicine.
During the time when Shen Zhichu was in the hospital, he went into the emergency room countless times because of stomach cancer. He was too afraid of losing him, and he was also afraid that Shen Zhichu would remember something because of the stomach cancer attack.
Only by taking medicine continuously can you suppress cancer cells.
Despite her caution, Shen Zhichu still fell ill and had stomachache for a long time. She was a person used to enduring pain, and she still remembered this even if she lost her memory.
She endured the pain, sat on the balcony with a book in her hand and half-closed her eyes. It was unclear whether she was basking in the sun or using reading to distract herself from the stomachache.
Li Jingshen received a call from Zhao Qian, who was asking him about work. He listened while searching for Shen Zhichu, and finally saw her curled up on the balcony.
She was sleeping on a soft chair, her posture as lazy as a cat. Her skin was sickly pale due to years of illness, and in the sunlight one could even see the light purple veins on her neck.
Shen Zhichu heard the noise, glanced at him, and continued reading.
The book was one she picked up at random from the bookshelf. The title on the cover was [The First Book of Economics] and the content was boring and obscure. Shen Zhichu obviously felt that the content was very familiar. She must have read it before she lost her memory.
She flipped through the pages very quickly and had only turned half of them in a short while. Li Jingshen heard the rustling sound of the pages and thought she was just flipping through them for fun.
He walked over and sat next to Shen Zhichu, put his arm around her shoulders, leaned closer, and hooked his fingertips into her braid and played with it.
Shen Zhichu had a stomachache and was being held by him, so her mind was completely off the book. She simply threw the book aside and leaned into Li Jingshen's arms to listen to his voice on the phone.
Li Jingshen never avoided talking to Shen Zhichu when he was handling his work. He said to the phone: "Put down the goods on Nanshui Island first. Someone is keeping an eye on them... Change to another place..."
Something was said on the phone again, Li Jingshen said "hmm" and then hung up the call, hugging Shen Zhichu with his arms.
Shen Zhichu felt a little uncomfortable with the stomachache, and his eyebrows knitted together slightly: "Aren't you going to work?"
"We're going tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
"No, just work hard and I won't bother you." In fact, she was a little curious about Li Jingshen's company, but when she thought about it, there must be a lot of work piled up in the company during the past few months that Li Jingshen had been taking care of him. If he went, it would only disturb him. She could go after he finished his busy work.
Li Jingshen didn't force it: "I'm still a little worried about you. You can go out for a walk, but you must come back at noon to take medicine."
"Can't I just eat out?"
"I don't believe you can take medicine obediently. Come back and let Mrs. Zhang and the others supervise you."
Before Shen Zhichu could say anything, her stomach suddenly twitched and she groaned softly. Li Jingshen immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
"My stomach just hurt a little bit."
Li Jingshen immediately stood up and reached out to hug her: "I'll take you to the hospital."
There is a hospital nearby, and it only takes five minutes to drive there. However, Shen Zhichu didn't want to leave: "This is an old problem. The pain will go away after a while."
"No, you have to go to the hospital. I'll stay with you. I won't go to work tomorrow."
Shen Zhichu was speechless for a moment. She only had a stomachache and it wouldn't kill her. Why was Li Jingshen so worried? She had just said she would go to work tomorrow and now she suddenly said she couldn't go. If his subordinates knew about this, they would definitely say behind his back that he was irresponsible.
Shen Zhichu touched his stomach and said, "I'm really fine. I just felt a little uncomfortable after taking the stomach medicine."
Every time Shen Zhichu takes medicine, he has a stress reaction.
Li Jingshen's emotions gradually stabilized, and after seeing that Shen Zhichu's complexion was relatively normal, he did not force her to go to the hospital.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jingshen received a text message. He took a look and saw that it was from Xia Mingyue.
——"Depth of Field, I'm in J City."
Li Jingshen took a look and deleted the message.
"Your phone just rang. Was it a text message from someone?" Shen Zhichu asked.
"It's junk text, I've deleted it."
Shen Zhichu said "Oh". Li Jingshen had just bought her a new phone and a new SIM card, but she still received spam messages. It was really annoying to see them.
Shen Zhichu and Li Jingshen did not sleep in separate rooms. They were used to sleeping in the same room when they were in the hospital. In addition, they were still "husband and wife", so when they shared a bed, Shen Zhichu always slept on the edge, with a "Chu River and Han River" separating them to keep a distance. But every morning when he woke up, he would lie in Li Jingshen's arms.
In the morning, when Shen Zhichu got up, Li Jingshen had already gone to the company. She got up, changed her clothes, and went to the bathroom. The toothpaste was already squeezed out as usual.
After a quick wash, Shen Zhichu went downstairs for breakfast, which consisted of egg yolk buns and porridge. The cook was Mrs. Zhang, who was a good cook. Even though Shen Zhichu had no appetite, he couldn't help but eat a whole bowl of porridge.
"Madam, are you going out today?" asked Butler Li.
Shen Zhichu thought for a moment and said, "I won't go out today."
