Chapter 650 The terminally ill rich girl (15)
Ward. Quiet. So quiet that one could hear the rainstorm and wind outside.
"Shi Yi, I want to admit something to you." Zou Xiuyu held her hand, his face heavy like the dark clouds gathering in the sky.
The girl lying on the bed, under the warm yellow light, had a steady breathing and a gentle expression. Her long eyelashes drooped obediently under her eyelids, casting a faint shadow.
"If I tell you this, you probably won't forgive me." Zou Xiuyu bent his fingers to tidy up the broken hair on the side of her cheek, and said in a very slow tone, "I know you won't forgive me. So, I don't have the courage to say it to your face."
"I met you..." The footsteps outside the corridor came from far away and were clearly heard by Zou Xiuyu. He hesitated and let go of Shi Yi's hand and sat on the stool at the edge.
"Zou Xiuyu, go back and have a rest. I'll just stay with Shiyi." Wei Lan deliberately didn't let him see her right cheek, because Chen Heng had deliberately bitten a small tooth mark on it. If she hadn't been stopping him, Chen Heng would probably have bitten her entire face so hard that she couldn't even see anyone.
"Go back and have a rest." Zou Xiuyu rejected her kindness.
It wasn't tiring for him to stay here. Compared to waiting for the news of Shiyi waking up at home, he would rather stay by Shiyi's side and watch her open her eyes.
"You've been here for most of the night. Go back and have a good rest, and come early tomorrow. Who knows if Shiyi will wake up?" Wei Lan lifted her long hair to cover her right cheek, looked at him sideways, and tried to let him see her sincere eyes.
"It doesn't matter." Zou Xiuyu's eyes fell directly on Shiyi on the bed, and he said calmly and gently, "I think she can see me as soon as she opens her eyes."
Seeing him like this, Wei Lan understood everything, and sat down beside Shiyi silently, staring at Shiyi's peaceful sleeping face.
Chen Heng had been sent away by her. But she knew that Chen Heng would not give up so easily. Chen Heng was determined to take her to a place where no one knew her and start a new life.
She was actually a little moved. But she was afraid. What she feared was that the tragedy between her father and mother would be repeated in her and Chen Heng. The "love" in the world is actually too reasonless and lawless. It is like this when it comes and it is like this when it leaves. She is just an ordinary girl, and she is not sure that Chen Heng will love her forever.
She sometimes envies Shi Yi, but this envy is based on when Shi Yi talks to her in good health. When Shi Yi is healthy, he has money, time, and all kinds of freedom. She is bound by her family and has nothing. So, she envies. However, when she saw Shi Yi lying on the hospital bed and suffering from the pain of illness, she no longer envied him.
Speaking of which, she really wants to thank Shi Yi as a friend. Shi Yi always provides her with help when she needs it most. If it weren't for Shi Yi, she didn't know how much she would suffer.
She was born in a big family, and her father was a notorious prodigal. Her father and mother had loved each other for a while, otherwise they would not have married their mother, who was from a small family. Her mother entered the Wei family because of love, but soon after she came in, she lost her husband's love, and she was not used to the life of a big family, so she died less than seven years after giving birth to her.
The most profound impression she has of her mother now is that her mother always likes to hold her in the yard with a cool breeze and read books.
At that time, Chen Heng, who was two years older than her, always liked to come to play with her. She knew that Chen Heng was the young master of the Chen family, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her mother and herself, so she always avoided him. Chen Heng thought she was playing hide-and-seek with him, and liked to come to their yard even more.
When Chen Heng was a child, he was very well-behaved and very smart. Every time he came to see her, he came behind her back, and didn't cause any big trouble for her and her mother. At that time, she occasionally expected Chen Heng to come to play with her more, so that she wouldn't have to be forced to read books by her mother.
Her father was a prodigal son, and her mother was not the daughter of a rich family. As their daughter, she would naturally be ridiculed by her cousins. She had actually long been accustomed to the unpleasant words they said.
Chen Heng was different. Every time Chen Heng ran into them bullying her, he would help her out. Once didn't work, twice, twice didn't work, three times, Chen Heng finally made those cousins who always loved to ridicule her shut up, and they dared not speak to her face again when they saw her.
Chen Heng had prestige among the children, but those adults didn't look at the face of a child. Every time she went home to worship her ancestors, she would always be looked up and down by the adults, and then she would be told again and again about how her dead mother was with her father.
She was naturally angry in her heart. But she was just a girl with no power, and she might not be able to get close to these people with bodyguards even if she risked her life.
The only thing she could do was to stay away. Stay away from all the relatives of the Wei family. Including Chen Heng.
Shi Yi was the only person she could confide in during this lonely time.
Sometimes she could hardly imagine what she would do if Shi Yi left this world.
"Go to the bed next to you and sleep. I'll keep watch." Seeing that she had been keeping the same posture and not moving, Zou Xiuyu thought she was going to fall asleep, so he got up and patted her shoulder.
Wei Lan shook her head and whispered, "No need. If you are sleepy, go to sleep by yourself."
Zou Xiuyu glanced at the girl lying on the bed. She was still lying there gently, not looking sick, but more like she was asleep.
I hope so.
I hope she is just asleep now.
When the day breaks and the rain stops, she will open her eyes and be able to talk to everyone lively.
Wei Lan lay down beside Shi Yi's hand, put her right palm against Shi Yi's left palm, and then clasped it tightly.
"Shi Yi, you must strive to wake up early, okay?" She silently encouraged her good friend in her heart.
Chen Heng also failed to fall asleep tonight.
He knew that he and Janice Vidal were cousins, and in this era, cousins could not get married. But he could not go against his feelings.
He really loved Janice Vidal. After so many years of separation, he still remembered every detail of his time with her.
But Janice Vidal had too many concerns.
He knew that Janice Vidal cared most about her friend Wan Shiyi, and the reason why Wan Shiyi was in poor health was because he had a congenital deficiency. It happened that he had a doctor friend who was good at this abroad.
He had been hesitating, hesitating whether to contact this friend to return to China to treat Wan Shiyi.
