Chapter 575 Caring About You
Her tone was firm and unyielding, like an ice-cold knife, instantly cutting through the warmth and tenderness that Sun Zhou had created.
Sun Zhou was choked by her gaze, and a look of embarrassment and hurt appeared on his face.
"I just...care about you."
"Care about me?" Ji Wan pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile, "Sun Zhou, we are no longer in a relationship where we can 'care' about each other."
"I'm very grateful that you saved Nian Nian. I will remember this favor and repay it."
“But that’s all.”
"Take care of yourself first." Ji Wan stood up, his tone returning to its previous calmness. "If you need anything, tell the nurse or call me."
She didn't want to stay here another second.
The depressing atmosphere here and Sun Zhou's complicated look made her feel irritated.
"I have something to do in the studio, so I'll leave first."
"Just rest and recover."
After saying that, Ji Wan no longer looked at Sun Zhou's reaction, turned around and left. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was crisp and decisive.
Sun Zhou looked at her back without any reluctance, stretched out his hand, wanting to grab something, but finally let it drop weakly.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by deep loss and unwillingness.
Wanwan, why is it that you still don’t see me?
What kind of magic potion did that bastard Chi Wenyan feed you?
As soon as Ji Wan's hand touched the cold door handle, he heard Sun Zhou's weak and urgent cry from behind him.
"Wanwan, don't go!"
There was a barely perceptible hint of panic in his voice, afraid that she would just disappear.
Ji Wan paused, she didn't turn around immediately, her back was straight, revealing a cold and indifferent attitude that kept strangers away.
After a few seconds, she slowly turned around, her face expressionless and her eyes as cold as ice.
"Anything else?"
Her voice was cold and lifeless, as if she was talking to a completely unrelated stranger.
Sun Zhou's heart sank when he saw the coldness in her eyes, but he still supported his sick body and struggled to sit up a little so that he would look less embarrassed.
"Ahem... I..." He coughed violently a few times, a sickly blush spreading across his sallow face. "I just... I just wanted to say that after donating my bone marrow, my health... has really deteriorated a lot."
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Wan with eyes filled with vulnerability and pleading.
"The doctor said my resistance is very low now. Even a minor cold could cause serious complications. I need someone... I need someone to take good care of me."
He emphasized the words "careful care".
"I don't have many relatives in this city, and my friends are all busy..."
His preparations were long and his intentions were obvious.
Finally, he mustered up the courage and tentatively stated his true purpose in an almost pleading tone.
"Wanwan, can you stay and keep me company?"
"Just think of it as pity for me."
"I promise, as long as I feel better, I will never bother you again."
His eyes were full of hope, and he bet that she would soften her heart.
After all, he became like this because of her daughter.
However, instead of showing the emotion and guilt he expected, Ji Wan's face showed a very faint, almost cruel sneer.
"Sun Zhou."
She stretched out her long legs and walked back to the bedside step by step, looking down at him condescendingly, with no concealment of the sarcasm in her eyes.
"I'll say it one last time."
"I, Ji Wan, am extremely grateful to you for saving Nian Nian. This life-saving favor is greater than heaven, and I will definitely repay you."
Each of her words was crystal clear, yet like a sharp knife, cutting into Sun Zhou's heart.
"But," she said, her voice suddenly becoming sharp, "you're using this kindness to blackmail me, trying to make me have inappropriate thoughts about you?"
"Sun Zhou, do you find it interesting?"
She didn't give him any chance to explain, she took out her cell phone from her bag and slid her fingers across the screen quickly.
"You need someone to take care of you, don't you?"
"Can."
Her tone was crisp and clear, without a trace of emotion.
"I'll pay for it. I'll hire the best personal caregiver in Haicheng for you, providing 24-hour personal care. I guarantee they'll provide you with more thoughtful care than an amateur like me."
"I will cover all your medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and subsequent rehabilitation expenses during your hospitalization."
As she spoke, she had already found a number and dialed it directly in front of Sun Zhou.
The call was connected quickly.
"Hello, Butler Wang, it's me, Ji Wan. Please find me the best male nurse and send him to the VIP ward of the Central Hospital immediately. Yes, I want the most professional and experienced one. Money is not an issue."
Her voice was calm and efficient, as if she was handling an ordinary business matter.
The blood color on Sun Zhou's face disappeared completely in an instant.
The hope and fragility in his eyes shattered in an instant, replaced by deep humiliation and resentment.
He doesn't want money or care.
He wants her!
It was her care, her companionship, and her dependence on him due to guilt!
But Ji Wan crushed all his little thoughts in the most direct and cruel way, put a price on this life-saving favor, and turned it into a cold and icy transaction.
Ji Wan hung up the phone and put the phone back into her bag. The whole process was smooth and effortless.
She took one last look at Sun Zhou, her eyes calm without a trace of emotion.
"The nurse will be here in half an hour."
"Just rest and recover."
After saying that, she turned around and left without even stopping for a moment.
This time, Sun Zhou didn't call her again.
He just stared at her back, his fists clenched tightly under the quilt, his nails almost digging into the flesh of his palms.
"Bang."
The door of the ward was gently closed, completely isolating all his delusions.
The ward was dead silent.
The air still lingered with the cool scent of Ji Wan's perfume, but at this moment, that scent was like invisible needles piercing into Sun Zhou's limbs and bones.
humiliation.
anger.
Unwilling.
All kinds of emotions surged wildly in his chest, almost tearing him apart.
He stared at the tightly closed door, his eyes bloodshot, and his resentful gaze seemed to want to burn through the door.
Season evening!
You are so cruel!
You are so cruel!
He would even give up his life for her!
But what about her?
But she trampled on his dignity and crushed it to pieces in the coldest and most realistic way!
Just when Sun Zhou's sanity was about to be swallowed by the overwhelming hatred, the door handle of the ward suddenly made a "click" sound and was gently turned.
The door opened.
Sun Zhou suddenly raised his head, a look of surprised expectation flashing in his eyes.
Is she back?
She regretted it and came back...
However, the person who walked in was not the figure he had been thinking about.
