Chapter 35 Collapse
During these days in the ward, Wen Eryu ate, drank, defecated and urinated almost all the time in bed.
She was seriously injured and was in a coma for more than half a month before she woke up. Everyone thought she would continue to sleep like that.
But she woke up, and even the nurses privately exclaimed that she was a medical miracle.
Wen Liang would visit her every day, but not for long, after all, he still had to make money.
Wen Eryu lay in bed, and all she could do every day was stare out the window in a daze.
Whenever she closed her eyes, everything in her dream would reappear clearly in her mind.
The feeling of despair wrapped around her neck like a python, making it difficult for her to breathe.
At this moment, the phone that had been silent for a long time suddenly rang.
Wen Eryu struggled to reach out and took it from the cabinet next to him.
After seeing the name on the screen, she pressed the answer button with trembling hands.
"Hello, Eryu." Lin Cheng's voice came from the other end of the phone as if from another world.
Wen Eryu opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
But because she had just had her trachea removed the day before, her throat was hoarse and she could not utter a few words.
"Chengcheng, Chengcheng." She kept calling Lin Cheng's name.
After hearing her voice, Lin Cheng choked up for a moment, then said, "I heard they said you're awake. I'll come to the hospital to see you after get off work."
Wen Eryu cried and said, "Yeah, I'll wait for you."
The burning pain in her throat made her speak only briefly.
In the past few years, after the Wen family went bankrupt, all her so-called friends had lost contact with her, except for Lin Cheng who came to see her from time to time.
Wen Eryu kept all of this in mind.
After hanging up the phone, she waited quietly until the afternoon.
Lin Cheng was wearing high heels, and the sound of "tapping" came from the door of the ward. She pushed the door open and the moment she saw Wen Eryu, she raised her voice.
"Oh my God! How did you become so thin? I'm so heartbroken."
Lin Cheng walked up to her with a large bunch of sunflowers with water droplets on them, and then put them all on the bedside table, almost knocking over the water cup.
The bright orange-yellow color instantly brightens up the dim room.
"Here, this is for you. Do you know the meaning of the sunflower?" Lin Cheng asked.
Wen Eryu turned his head and looked at the big bunch of sunflowers next to him and shook his head.
Lin Cheng said: "Live towards the sun!"
Growing towards the sun...After the accident, she was reborn, but it also made her realize some of the wrong things she had done before.
For example - ignoring Shen Jize's love.
"Okay, don't think about anything else now. Get some rest and get discharged soon." Lin Cheng held her hand. "Hey, you know, since I started working, I've encountered a lot of weird things and people, like my supervisor..."
Lin Cheng began to chatter about the interesting things that had happened recently, as if she was reminiscing with Wen Eryu in a cafe, and she didn't treat her as a patient at all.
Half a month passed like this.
Lin Cheng comes to the hospital to see Wen Eryu every day.
Today Wen Eryu was able to get out of bed and walk, but he could only take a few steps, and would have to use a wheelchair for the rest of the journey.
"You'll get moldy if you stay in this shabby little ward. I'll take you out for some fresh air." Lin Cheng said beside the bed.
Wen Eryu said, "But the nurse won't let me out now."
"Oh, that's easy."
Lin Cheng half-supported and half-carried the still weak Wen Eryu up from the bed and let her sit in the wheelchair. Then she avoided the nurses' station and walked towards the garden behind the inpatient building with a clear goal.
In early autumn, the afternoon sun was warm, not blazing, but comfortable on the skin. The air was crisp, with the scent of grass and trees, a stark contrast to the disinfectant odor in the ward.
Wen Eryu hadn't smelled the smell outside for a long time. Lin Cheng pushed her to the bottom of a huge banyan tree and stopped.
"This is a good location. Let's rest here."
Lin Cheng sat on the bench under the banyan tree, her head resting on the armrest of her wheelchair.
Wen Eryu's tense nerves relaxed a little. Although the heaviness and regret in his heart could not be dispelled immediately, the feeling of being strangled by nightmares and cold reality was slightly reduced.
At this moment, Lin Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang.
Wen Eryu tilted her head slightly and said casually, "Who is it? Could it be Lu Zhang?"
Lin Cheng: "How did you know?!"
Wen Eryu was slightly stunned. She remembered that Lin Cheng in this life seemed to have never told her that she liked Lu Zhang.
"Uh...this...I'm guessing." Wen Eryu couldn't speak clearly.
Lin Cheng narrowed her eyes, then confessed to her: "Okay, I wanted to tell you later, but actually Lu Zhang proposed to me last week."
"That's great! I'll definitely give you a big red envelope when you get married."
Lin Cheng saw that Wen Eryu looked happy and there was no doubt on her face.
She always felt something was strange. Wen Eryu seemed like a different person since she woke up.
However, Lin Cheng still did not express his doubts.
They sat under the tree for a while, and when the time was almost up, Lin Cheng suddenly had a stomachache.
She covered her belly and frowned, saying, "Eryu, wait here for me for a while. I'm going to the bathroom."
"Oh, okay, go ahead."
Wen Eryu sat obediently in the wheelchair, with an apricot knitted blanket covering her legs.
The cool autumn wind blew the dry fallen leaves around on the ground, and then stopped next to a pair of expensive leather shoes.
Wen Eryu gradually moved his gaze upwards until he saw the man's face.
The next second, shock and astonishment flashed across her eyes.
When the man saw that she saw him, he walked over slowly, his leather shoes stepping on the cobblestone path with a sense of oppression. He stopped a few steps in front of Wen Eryu.
Wen Eryu never expected to meet Xiada here.
Xiada, who is in her early twenties, no longer has the childish look on her face. Her mature and sharp eyes are looking at Wen Eryu.
"Dada?" Wen Eryu was a little unsure if it was him.
When Xiada heard the woman call him like that, his eyes were filled with obvious disgust.
"Don't call my name, it's disgusting." He interrupted her rudely, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp and cold.
Wen Eryu: "I..."
"Sure enough, when you have no money, your attitude will be different."
Xia Dabi was less calm and stern than Chen Ji Ze, and more rebellious and undisguisedly contemptuous. With a playful smile on his lips, his eyes were like ice-hardened knives as he looked up and down at Wen Eryu's frail appearance.
Without waiting for Wen Eryu to answer, he glanced at her hospital gown and sneered, "Why, is it my brother who sent someone to pay for your medical expenses again this time? Tsk, how shameless."
Xiada deliberately emphasized the word "again", and there was naked contempt in his eyes.
"After all these years, you really haven't changed at all. You just feel at ease and enjoy the fact that my brother is covering for you."
"...I didn't." Wen Eryu wanted to refute, but it seemed that this was the fact.
Every time she got into trouble, Shen Jize was the one who helped her solve it.
Xiada hated Wen Eryu so much, and she didn't know what kind of drug his brother had been given, so he always protected her.
"No? How dare you say that?" He laughed in anger. "That time you had a high fever and was unconscious for three days. He stayed by your bedside without leaving, his eyes bloodshot from all the time. When you finally woke up, the first thing you said was that he was in the way."
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Wen Eryu's already fragile heart.
Completely shattering those neglected and misunderstood fragments of her, revealing the truth behind Shen Jize's silent sacrifice for her.
The anger in Xia Da's eyes did not diminish, but instead added a hint of cold mockery: "Crying? You know how to cry now? It's too late."
He took a step back, resuming his cynical attitude, but his tone became even more harsh: "My brother is too soft-hearted, that's why he gets abused by people like you time and time again. I tell you, he's doing well now. He'll be so much more at peace now that he's away from you."
Wen Eryu lowered his head and said nothing, his hands tightly clutching the blanket on his legs.
"I want to make it up to him."
Xia Da turned around and said, "No, stay away from him. Shen Jize has done his best for you, his ex-wife."
