When Yu Sheng and Gu Ye arrived at Jiahe, Xiao Cheng was still being treated.
They waited at the door for more than an hour before the rescue was over.
Xiao Cheng's condition was unstable, and he was immediately sent to the ICU for testing.
The ICU is a sterile environment, and no one other than medical staff is allowed to enter.
Yu Sheng could only crane her neck and gaze at the distant view through the glass door...
In the ward filled with various medical equipment, Xiao Cheng lay motionless on the hospital bed, a transparent breathing tube inserted into his neck, and the ventilator connected to it vibrated with his weak heartbeat...
When Yu Sheng saw Shuang's pale face and purplish lips, she couldn't bear to look... She turned her face away, and two tears streamed from her tightly closed eyes. The long-suppressed pain and suffering in her heart made her lips tremble uncontrollably...
Gu Ye took the opportunity to pull Yu Sheng into his arms and comforted her, "Xiao Cheng has already overcome the big hurdles, now there are only small ones left, he will definitely be able to get through them safely."
After he finished speaking, seeing that Yu Sheng didn't respond but was trembling all over, he hugged her tightly with both hands, giving her a sense of security and strength.
Yu Sheng, who was in so much pain that she was about to drown, found temporary respite in Gu Ye's arms.
After calming down, she said, "Gu Ye, did I do something wrong?"
Hearing Yu Sheng's question, Gu Ye looked at her and saw that her eyelashes were still wet with tears. He gently wiped them away with his fingers and asked, "What are you referring to?"
Yu Sheng looked at Xiao Cheng with red eyes: "This kind of situation has happened countless times in the past ten years. Every time I see Xiao Cheng like this, my heart... I feel so sad..."
He must be feeling even worse than me, so I've been thinking... thinking... did I do something wrong...?
If... if I had let him 'leave' sooner, he wouldn't have had to endure all this suffering and pain..."
Yu Sheng choked up several times, unable to continue speaking, tears streaming down her face...
Seeing Yu Sheng like this, Gu Ye felt bad and even regretted touching Xiao Cheng. But if he hadn't touched him, how could the two of them be standing here talking so peacefully?
Therefore, he has no regrets!
He held her in his arms, his large hand gently stroking her to comfort her, and said, "You didn't do anything wrong. You just can't bear to let him leave you, because he's your life... just like you are my life..."
“I don’t want him to leave me, but I can’t bear to see him suffer anymore… I forced her to stay with me for ten years. Tell me, shouldn’t I… shouldn’t I……”
The last few words were impossible for Yu Sheng to utter, nor did she dare to utter them...
Gu Ye knew exactly what he was going to say, but he didn't reply immediately. As if he had thought of something, a calculating glint appeared in his dark eyes...
Then he spoke up: "No! If we can get Professor Charles to perform the surgery on Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng will wake up..."
Yu Sheng never missed this.
Six months ago, after learning of Professor Charles's achievements in the medical field, she used all her connections to try to contact him, but to no avail...
That's why she was so excited when Ethan appeared as Professor Charles's student...
She thought Xiao Cheng was saved, that Xiao Cheng was about to wake up!
Little did anyone know, it was all a deception Gu Ye had set up for her to cover up his own infidelity!
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng's eyes turned cold.
Realizing she was still in Gu Ye's arms, she decisively pushed him away!
Gu Ye naturally sensed Yu Sheng's change in mood and knew why, but he didn't say anything.
He glanced at her injured foot and said, "Sit down for a while; you've been standing for a long time!"
Yu Sheng had completely recovered by now and coldly said to Gu Ye, "You go first, I want to stay with Xiao Cheng a little longer."
Gu Ye said softly, "If you want to stay with Xiao Cheng, I won't bother you, but I can't leave. Your legs aren't very strong, and it's the middle of the night. If I leave, how will you get back to the hospital?"
Yu Sheng wanted to say that he didn't need to worry about it, but before she could speak, he joked, "If you think I'm disturbing your little gathering, I'll stand further away. When you're done and ready to leave, just call me..."
After Gu finished speaking, before Yu Sheng could speak, he lifted his foot and walked to the side, with Xu Shao standing not far away immediately following.
After walking a distance, Gu stopped and looked back at Yu Sheng.
She pressed her face against the glass door of the ICU, gazing inside.
Her pale face, filled with self-blame, worry, and distress, was reflected in the glass.
"How's it going with contacting Charles?"
Gu also asked.
Although he deceived Yu Sheng with Ethan, he had been trying to find connections to contact Charles for the past six months.
Because of the national border, his connections in Beijing's social circles couldn't be extended directly there. He could only inquire within the circles to see who knew Charles, but this matter hadn't made any progress.
"I was just about to tell you about this."
Upon hearing Xu Shao's words, Gu Ye immediately looked away from him and asked excitedly, "You've made contact?"
"No... but Charles's team posted information online about launching a brain consciousness research project, and I thought... if you contacted their team as an investor, and if they accepted your investment, you would definitely be able to meet Charles!"
"It's a good idea, but I don't have time to slowly get to know their team. Besides, they might not accept my investment. Professor Charles has a great reputation and doesn't lack investors. He will definitely prioritize investing in pharmaceutical companies!"
After listening, Xu Shao tried to guess Gu Ye's thoughts and tentatively asked, "Mr. Gu, you wouldn't be thinking of lying to Miss Yu again, would you?"
Gu Ye scoffed, "I've already lied to her once, so naturally I can't lie to her a second time."
