Looking into the rearview mirror, Jiang De stared at He Ji's lifeless eyes and felt a pang of sorrow well up in his heart.
He sighed helplessly, his gaze following Li Baobei's figure as she walked further and further away until she disappeared from sight. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Why does the young master torture himself like this?
He clearly had deep feelings for that Miss Li and couldn't bear to part with her.
And now his body is...
Unable to bear thinking any further, Jiang De could only ask with a heavy heart, "Young Master, do we still need to go in?"
He Ji leaned back in the back seat as if all her strength had been drained, her eyes tightly closed, but tears still streamed down her face like a burst dam, and she murmured softly, "Let's go back~"
The vehicle slowly drove off and eventually disappeared at the end of the wide street.
He Ji silently gazed at the photo in his hand. It showed Li Baobei with a bright and beautiful smile. It was a wonderful memory they had left at the amusement park. She was so happy, joyful, and beautiful back then.
Why?
How did the beautiful past turn into what it is today?
What exactly went wrong?
What mistakes have I ever made?
Why did God treat him this way?
Is it really so difficult to simply want to be with the one you love?
Why is this happening?!
"Why...is it so difficult..." He Ji murmured to himself, his voice gradually becoming choked with emotion, as if he wanted to vent all the pain and resentment in his heart through these three words.
...
The sound of crying filled the ward, making the atmosphere even more suffocating and cold. Jiang De stood in the corridor, not daring to push open the door for a long time. All of this seemed too cruel.
Guan Ye arrived at He You's ward in the afternoon and saw He Ji's pale face, devoid of any color, and his heart clenched again.
He Ji's condition is getting worse every day; at this rate, I'm afraid...
"The patient is extremely uncooperative with our treatment right now, and we're in a difficult situation!" The doctor stood in the corridor with a grave expression.
Guan Ye slowly asked, "How much time does he have left?"
"Currently, there are almost no cases of cure for advanced poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gastric angular lesion. We can only do our best to alleviate the patient's suffering, and that's about it..."
Sigh~
The doctor sighed and continued, "Judging from the patient's condition, I'm afraid..."
Guan Ye's eyes widened instantly, filled with despair. He Ji... him...
This is impossible...
He ran back to the ward like a madman, staring straight at He Ji, "I'll arrange my flight abroad tomorrow."
He Ji weakly raised her head, staring blankly at him, and said with a bitter smile, "I won't go, that's it!"
Guan Ye instantly erupted, roaring, "I'm not discussing this with you; you have to go whether you like it or not."
"You look disgusting right now, He Ji!"
"Why don't you consider the feelings of the people who care about you? You've been a selfish bastard from beginning to end."
He Ji let out a desperate, cold laugh, his eyes dull and lifeless as he looked at Guan Ye: "I have no other choice, Guan Ye."
"I can't even protect the people I love most anymore, I really have no other way."
Hehe~
“There will still be opportunities to go abroad, He Ji,” Guan Ye said, looking at him expectantly.
He Ji closed her eyes, letting tears wet her cheeks, and slowly said, "You can go now! I'm a little tired."
"You..." Guan Ye could no longer utter a word. Why had the aloof He Ji become like this? He turned away helplessly, and the only sound in the ward was the beeping of the monitor.
＊
beep beep~
Li Baobei was drinking coffee when her phone beeped. She saw that it was a message from an unknown number.
I'm He Ji's friend. Do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to talk to you.
:"Who are you?"
"My name is Guan Ye."
Li Baobei had seen the name Guan Ye before; it had appeared several times on He Ji's phone.
:"Place."
"AAA Cafe, 6 p.m."
:"good."
＊
Afternoon, 17:50.
"What happened to He Ji?" Li Baobei cut straight to the point; she was also eager to know He Ji's current situation.
It's been almost half a month since she last saw him, and she has a feeling that things aren't so simple.
Judging from the last time she saw him, He Ji was thinner, and even with a mask on, she could tell at a glance that he was not the same as before, as if he was sick.
She also went to He Ji's villa to look for him, but she didn't see him there.
No one has ever responded to the messages I've sent.
“He’s sick, and I hope you can try to persuade him. He’s not cooperating with the doctor’s treatment right now, and it’s possible…” Guan Ye said with difficulty, the words stuck in his throat.
She didn't want to ask any more questions; she only cared about He Ji's current whereabouts. "Where have I seen him before?"
"XX Hospital".
Li Baobei didn't linger any longer, got up and left, her steps hurried and anxious.
"Excuse me, could you tell me which ward He Ji is in?" Li Baobei asked, her voice trembling.
"Oh, you mean the patient in the VIP ward? Let me take a look for you." The nurse glanced at the window on the computer.
"That patient's room is on the 18th floor, room number 1."
"Thank you." After saying that, Li Baobei ran to the elevator and waited for it. At this moment, she felt that every second was so agonizing. He Ji, that big idiot.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, soaking the hem of her clothes.
