Chapter 979: Irredeemable and Irreparable
After looking for a while, Li Jinxing raised his left hand and opened his mouth to hold his ring finger. A strong smell of blood emanated from his mouth, like the salty taste of rust. He sucked it and licked the wound gently with the tip of his tongue, just like a stray cat or dog outside, licking its wound alone after being injured.
The saliva on the wound did not relieve the pain, but instead stimulated the pain nerves and caused more bleeding.
Li Jinxing's face was a little pale, and the blood on his lower lip formed a sharp contrast with his complexion.
He does not believe in Buddhism, Taoism, or Christianity. He is a materialist and believes that as long as he works hard enough, there is nothing he cannot achieve.
But when it comes to Gu Wanqiu, he often goes against his own ideals. When she is in trouble, he prays to Buddha. When he wants to marry her and be with her forever, he takes her to the church, looks at the statue of Jesus, and asks her to swear to be with him for life.
There will always be someone who will be an exception in your life. She will subtly break your principles when you are not paying attention.
By the time you discover it, it's already too late to save it and it's irreversible.
Li Jinxing couldn't fall asleep after waking up this time. He looked out the window. In the past, he could see a red and a white camellia tree outside from the window. They should have been in bloom at this season, but he ordered people to cut them down. Now, looking over, that area in the yard was empty, which made people feel very uncomfortable. He suddenly regretted cutting down the two trees.
Once a tree is cut down, it can never be grafted back. Many things are just like these two trees.
August 1st is his birthday. Originally, he had expected to find Gu Wanqiu back today. Having Gu Wanqiu by his side would be his birthday present today.
Even if she didn't come back, it would be nice to have news about her, but he didn't expect the news to be so tragic.
To his great detriment, he received the news of her death on his birthday.
Gu Wanqiu...Gu Wanqiu...Gu Wanqiu...
Li Jinxing repeated these three words in his mind, repeating her name over and over again, over and over again, unable to stop. He still had the tip of his ring finger in his mouth, and he hated himself for being affected by such a hateful woman.
His hatred was so deep that he couldn't help but bite the fingertip hard. The tip of his teeth bit directly into the wound. It hurt a lot but he didn't let go. Finally, when his mouth was full of blood, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
The ring finger was no longer recognizable. He pulled out the broken part with his bare hands, and his body reflexively twitched in pain.
Gu Wanqiu, I pray to God that you are not dead. I hope you live well. Nothing is better than you being alive.
You'd better stay alone. If I find you with another man, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Li Jinxing was certain that Gu Wanqiu must be alive. Even if she hadn't been found for three months, she was still alive. There was absolutely no way her body could be found in that sea.
Why was he so sure? Li Jinxing couldn't explain it, it was just a hunch.
Just like when Gu Wanqiu heard the news of his death, she was convinced that he was not dead.
Moreover, Gu Wanqiu was afraid of the cold and water. She also had a fear of the deep sea, afraid of giant creatures in the sea, and disliked the smell of fish. How could she, who loved to be clean and beautiful, die in the sea...
Li Jinxing deceived himself like this for the whole night. His ring finger unconsciously wrote the bloody word "Autumn" on the ground, which was shocking.
He Tian and Zhou Yi have already arranged people to go out and look for Gu Wanqiu. The focus of the search is J City, near the sea. They have searched all the nearby cameras, but they couldn't find any trace of Gu Wanqiu.
J City is not like Haicheng. They cannot reach that far. It is not their territory, they are not very familiar with it, they do not have enough manpower, and their network is not big enough. If they want to find someone on a large scale, they have to spend a lot of money and ask the people over there to put in the effort.
The police, who had already given up on searching for and rescuing people in distress at sea, received a new notice and sent more people to start a carpet search and salvage operation along the sea. However, the chances of finding a living person on the sea were extremely slim, and there was no illusion at all.
Another person who was sad about Gu Wanqiu's death was Mrs. Liu.
When Mrs. Liu heard the five words "Gu Wanqiu is dead", her head became hot and she fainted. She was sent to the hospital and received emergency treatment. She woke up at eight o'clock in the evening.
When I just woke up, I was still dizzy. Everything in front of my eyes was white. I didn't know where I was. My mouth and throat were very dry. I didn't have the strength to speak. My eyes were sore. This feeling can only be described as being sleep-paralyzed. I was very tired and wanted to struggle to wake up but couldn't. I finally opened my eyes, but I was still not conscious and dizzy.
She stared blankly at the ceiling until the nurse who was taking care of her noticed her.
The nurse understood that the person who had just woken up was feeling very unwell, with dry throat and lips.
The nurse brought a glass of warm water and fed her with a spoon.
"Sister, open your mouth, I'll feed you some water." Mrs. Liu would do whatever she said at this time.
Her mouth opened mechanically. She was really thirsty. She felt like her throat was smoking when she opened her mouth, and there was a bitter taste in her throat, as if she had swallowed some Chinese medicine and there were some residues in her mouth.
Mrs. Zhang drank a glass of water right away. After the warm water went down her throat, she felt better and could even speak again.
Mrs. Liu first moved her fingers, feeling the quilt on her body, and finally asked with her mouth moving, "Where is this?"
The nurse replied: "This is a hospital. Don't you remember how you got into the hospital?"
"Hospital?" Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and looked around. "Why am I in the hospital..."
She began to recall hard, trying to remember something.
The human brain will also trigger its self-protection function. When Mrs. Liu just woke up, she could not remember anything and suffered from temporary amnesia.
The nurse explained: "You fainted due to shock and were sent here by Mr. He. Fortunately, you were sent here in time, otherwise there would be big problems. What happened to you that caused you such a big shock? People of our age have experienced everything. Be more open-minded, be in a good mood, and this day will pass." As he spoke, the nurse began to comfort Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu fell into deep thought. She was admitted to the hospital because of something that happened. What happened?
She remembered that Li Jinxing had locked her up in "Qiule Manor" and did not allow her to go out, so she cooked at home. Today was August 1st, and she was preparing lunch for Li Jinxing.
The nurse took the cup of water and asked Mrs. Liu, "Are you still thirsty?"
"I'm not thirsty anymore."
"Are you hungry? You just woke up and you should eat something, otherwise your body won't be able to hold on. I'll go heat up this chicken soup for you. This chicken soup was delivered this afternoon when you were still unconscious."
Mrs. Liu didn't feel hungry at first, but after being reminded by the nurse, she suddenly felt uncomfortable with an empty stomach. It was the first time that Mrs. Liu was taken care of like this, and she felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"What's the trouble? I've collected the money and this is my job. I'll wipe your body after dinner so you can sleep more comfortably at night. By the way, do you want to watch TV? I'll turn it on for you to kill time. You can't get up now. It's boring to lie in bed." The nurse said as she reached for the remote control. It was obvious that she actually wanted to watch.
Mrs. Liu nodded.
The nurse pressed the remote control to turn on the TV. It was eight o'clock and the news had ended. It was now time for the evening TV series. The nurse glanced at the TV and put the remote control in Mrs. Liu's hand.
"Just click on whatever you want to watch. I'm going to go heat up some food for you. I'll be back soon. Not many people are doing that at this hour."
"good."
The caregiver He Tian hired for her was very enthusiastic and went out with a thermos.
Mrs. Liu was not in the mood to watch TV. She glanced around the ward. It was a single room, very similar to the ward where Gu Wanqiu had stayed at that time. It had everything, including fruits and a bouquet of flowers on the cabinet.
The scent of flowers spread throughout the ward, and no one could smell the disinfectant.
Mrs. Liu looked at the dark sky outside the window and couldn't help thinking about her daughter and Gu Wanqiu.
I don’t know how Gu Wanqiu is doing now. By the way... she also sent me a text message. She sends me a text message every day at seven o’clock.
