Chapter 2382 No Longer See You
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chongyang shuddered and woke up.
Looking up at the night sky, the moon had already set, the sky was filled with a gray-blue light, and there was a mass of mist on the sea, making it hazy and a little dreamy.
Xiao Chongyang stared at the mist for a while, called the waiter, asked for paper and pen, wrote two letters, folded them, and handed them to the waiter.
After instructing the waiter, he left the top deck.
…
When the first ray of dawn broke through the clouds and shone on the deep blue sea, Xiao Chongyang was already in an orange lifeboat.
I looked back at the cruise ship, but it had become a small white dot on the horizon and was about to disappear.
He turned off the lifeboat's engine, lay on his back in the cabin, and just drifted with the current.
His body started to ache again. A new day had arrived and the cancer cells had started working again. But it didn't matter. He took out the painkillers he had prepared in advance and took them without hesitation, but this time he took a larger dose.
After all, he no longer needs to wake up...
On the cruise ship.
Gu Hanye woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes.
Jiuyao, who was sleeping next to him, woke up almost at the same time. Seeing him crying, she hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
"I dreamed about my mother. I dreamed that she came to see us."
Jiuyao showed a surprised expression: "What a coincidence, I dreamed about it too."
"What did you dream about?"
Jiuyao moved closer to him and rested her head on his arm. "Mom asked me how I was feeling and told me not to worry. She said the baby would be fine... How about you?"
"I dreamed that my mother was holding a little girl in her arms." Gu Hanye kissed her forehead and continued, "My mother said that she would help take care of her for two years."
Jiuyao started crying in his arms.
Gu Hanye sighed secretly and stroked her back gently. He didn't want her to be overly sad for the child, but he also knew that she needed to release this emotion.
About two months ago, he accompanied Jiuyao to a routine prenatal checkup, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that Jiuyao was pregnant with twins, but they were initially mistaken for single babies.
In medicine, such misdiagnosis is rare, but it does exist.
Doctors said the other embryo wasn't initially captured, partly because of imaging issues and partly because that child was born with developmental delays and was much smaller than normal embryos.
The doctor asked them to continue observing for a while, hoping that the other child would grow up quickly.
But no matter what, they were really happy when they found out that it was two children.
Jiuyao also paid more attention to protecting the baby in her belly.
However, there was no more good news afterwards.
One of the fetuses was developing normally and absorbing nutrients from Jiuyao's body, but the other was getting weaker and weaker, and was less than half the size of a healthy fetus.
That child eventually stopped developing.
Because they were fraternal twins, the fetal arrest did not affect the other child, which was a blessing in disguise.
Although they only had one child in the end, they lost a baby in the process, which was a big blow to Jiuyao.
She blamed herself very much, always thinking that she had not done something well, which led to the current result.
Gu Hanye was also in pain.
No matter how much money he had or how skilled the doctor was, he could not save that little life.
He could do nothing but watch the child leave him.
But the more painful it is, the stronger you must be.
So they comforted each other, stopped blaming themselves too much, and then cheered themselves up together and tried their best to protect the baby in their belly.
Jiuyao cried for a while and then calmed down on her own.
She knew that excessive sadness would affect the growth of the baby in her belly. In this matter, she even showed more strength than Gu Hanye.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Hanye, "So what does our daughter look like in your dream? Is she cute?"
Gu Hanye helped her wipe away her tears. "She's very cute, with two small braids, and her eyebrows and eyes look a lot like you."
Jiuyao smiled, and two strings of tears rolled down her eyes again, "Then... let mom take care of her for us for two years..."
"Well," Gu Hanye kissed her lips, "lie down for a while."
Jiuyao nodded and closed her eyes.
It was just dawn and still early, so the two talked for a while and then Jiuyao fell asleep.
Gu Hanye was no longer sleepy. He walked out of the room, came to the deck, and habitually glanced at the upper deck.
When Xiao Chongyang was on the boat, he always felt uneasy and paid special attention to Xiao Chongyang's situation every day.
But this morning, he did not see Xiao Chongyang.
The one who replaced him was Gu Hanye's father.
My father sat on the chair that Xiao Chongyang often sat on, staring at the sea, not knowing what he was thinking.
It seems...something happened.
Gu Hanye quickly walked to the top deck. When his father heard his voice, he turned around and looked at him.
"Where's Xiao Chongyang?"
"Leave."
Gu Hanye was stunned for a moment, not sure if his father's "gone" meant he had left the ship or had passed away...
Then his father handed him two letters.
One of them was labeled "Xiao Jun's personal letter," and the other was labeled "suicide note." Gu Hanye opened the suicide note...
"Old Gu:
"When you read this letter, I have already left and borrowed a lifeboat. I'm sorry I can't return it. Please use it as my final coffin. I think you won't mind.
"Tomorrow when the sun comes up I will turn off the lifeboat engine and take enough painkillers to last me a long time.
"I made this decision because I have been suffering from illness for many days and my conscience is condemning me. The only way out I can think of is this dead end.
"Of course, for many people, my peaceful death is a blessing. My sins are so grave that I deserve to be torn into pieces, a death that is not a good one.
"But I am a selfish person after all. I am ruthless when it comes to killing others, but when it comes to ending my own life, I want to have a good end.
"There's a time bomb on the cruise ship's engine that can be detonated remotely. I originally wanted to kill everyone together, but when I thought about seeing Wanqing after death and how much she would hate me, I didn't want to do that anymore. I don't want to regret it anymore. I've cut the fuse and thrown the remote control into the sea. Once you get ashore, just handle the bomb carefully.
"Finally, please tell my lawyer that regarding the distribution of my estate, please follow my previous will.
"Please also help me pass on the other letter to Jun. Regarding Jun's background, I have already written clearly in that letter. As for whether to make it public or tell others, it is up to Jun himself to decide.
"Oh, right, I saw Wanqing's spirit last night. She said she'd show me around when I got there. So, just live your life well and don't bother Wanqing and me later. I also hope you can have a passionate twilight romance. Then, maybe Wanqing will give up on you and be willing to give me another chance. You don't have to be like me, pitifully guarding those few memories and dying alone.
"Okay, the sun is about to come out. I can't write anymore. I won't say goodbye. That's it. - Xiao Chongyang"
