Seeing Ito in front of him, he slowly raised the corners of his lips, "She went back?"
"Well, I think she's working too hard, so let her go back and take a nap."
He held one hand and sat up. Ito wanted to step forward to help him, but restrained himself.
Because Ito knows that he doesn't want to be treated like a useless person. The more times like this, the more he needs to prove that he is still alive and still exists in the world.
He sat up against the head of the bed. The mere act of standing up made him sweat profusely and his brows were slightly wrinkled. From the moment he opened his eyes, pain followed him like a shadow.
He took a breath before speaking, "Ito, promise me something."
Ito's eyebrows were furrowed, "You guy, just say what you have to say and don't talk so much nonsense!"
He really didn't like his tone, which was so bland that it sounded like his last words.
Dislike very much.
Gu Xicen leaned against the pillow. He had been unable to eat normally for several days, and the pain caused him to lose a lot of weight. But his clear eyes still shone with an extremely dull luster.
"Help me change all the real estate properties to her name, and also leave all the stocks and funds in my name to her. In addition, change all my accounts to joint accounts with her..."
Hearing his words, Ito clenched his fists and said, "Gu Xicen, isn't it a little early for you to say this now?"
Gu Xicen raised her eyes and stared at him with an indifferent gaze, "I can't accompany her to a complete journey. At least, I want to ensure that her future life is guaranteed."
This is the least he should do.
"What do you mean you can't go on with her? Can you give yourself some confidence?" Ito finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood there, pointed at him and said, "Do you know how sad she is because of you? Don't you live a good life for her?
, but you are here to explain whether you have these things or not?"
Gu Xicen lowered his gaze, "I don't want to regret it when everything happens too suddenly."
"You..." Yi Cai wanted to say something, but forced her back.
He could understand such worries, but he just couldn't accept it. But thinking about it from another perspective, if it were him, he would probably make the same decision. Thinking about it, Ito could only sigh, "Cen, we haven't done enough yet."
Where’s the brother!”
Gu Xicen pursed her lips and said, "Me too."
When I heard what he said, Ito's eyes actually turned red.
He lowered his head covertly, then turned away, "I'm going to call Xiaoyue."
He hurried out, but unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed it open, he saw the person standing at the door. He had his head lowered, holding a moisturizing bottle in his arms, and his increasingly thin shoulders were trembling slightly.
"Small……"
Ito silenced again, looked at the people inside, and slowly closed the door.
Lin Yuer bit the back of her hand, fearing that she would cry here.
She heard every word of what he said just now.
She sat down on the ground, hugging the things in her arms tightly, and couldn't stop her tears from falling.
Ito said nothing, just patted her shoulder, "You can stay here. I'm going to New York in the next two days. If you need anything, call me."
He raised his head, pushed back the tears that were surging freely in his eyes, and strode outside.
Lin Yue'er sat there, wiping away her tears, and after trying hard to collect her emotions, she got up and pushed the door open.
"Hey, Ito is gone?"
She walked over, put the thermos bottle next to her, and looked at him with a smile, "Handsome guy, you are in good spirits!"
Gu Xicen smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her. Lin Yue'er sat next to him and asked, "Are you hungry?"
He shook his head, "Go back to sleep?"
"Sleeping," Lin Yuer replied with a smile.
"Really?" He just raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe her at all.
"Oh, I just slept when I said I did. Why don't you always believe me?" Lin Yuer stood up, soaked the towel with warm water, and handed it to him.
Gu Xicen took it and although her movements were very slow, she was still able to wipe her face.
She knew that unless it was a last resort, he didn't like to ask others to help. So, when he took a shower, she would always be by his side, and he would handle everything by himself. But she didn't know that this was the case.
Hold on, how long will it last?
She took the towel, washed it and hung it up. She poured out the soup she had just made and said, "Bone soup~ I've been making it for a few hours. To save my face, I can just drink a few sips."
His body is very weak now, and saline and glucose are not enough. He must eat.
Bringing the soup over, she picked up the spoon, took a sip, and put it to his lips, "Here, open your mouth."
"I'll do it myself." He wanted to take it over, but Lin Yue'er refused, "Why, do you think I'm not serving you well?"
He looked at her, chuckled, shook his head, then opened his mouth and drank a mouthful of soup.
Although the soup tasted very good and was not very hot, after he drank it, his stomach felt uncomfortable again and he felt like he was in over his head. But he endured it and did not tell her.
Seeing a trace of pain on his expression, Lin Yuer knew that he was in pain, but he could only endure it.
"Here... drink some more." She sniffed, forced a smile, and brought the second sip to his lips.
This time, Gu Xicen just drank it, and his expression became a little stiff. His stomach was burning and rolling from time to time. He supported the bed and said with difficulty, "Help me go to the bathroom."
"Yeah." Lin Yuer knew that he was uncomfortable and couldn't bear it any longer, so she stopped forcing him.
Even if he could take a sip of the soup she had cooked for four hours, she would be happy.
Lin Yue'er helped him up and walked slowly towards the bathroom. He had lost a lot of weight and was not very heavy on her. However, she hadn't eaten or slept well for several days in a row, and her physical strength was not much better than him. She was about to push him with her hand.
When she opened the door, her legs suddenly went weak, and she knelt on the ground. Her knees hurt so much that she almost burst into tears. Gu Xicen also fell to the ground, and her forehead hit the door handrail.
, and a big bag came out, with blood oozing out from it...
Seeing his injury, Lin Yuer suddenly cried, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I can't even do such a little thing..."
Seeing her crying, Gu Xicen became a little anxious. He sat up with difficulty and held her in his arms, "It's okay...it's okay. It's my fault. It's because I'm sick and have no strength, so I'm hurting you...
…”
"Ugh... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Lin Yuer apologized over and over again, preferring that the injury was a knock on her head rather than letting him suffer any more pain.
Why is she so useless?!
Didn’t I say I wanted to take care of him? But I couldn’t even do such a small thing as lifting him up!!
Gu Xicen gasped. Although his whole body was in pain, as if it hurt to the bone marrow, it was not as painful as his heart. His soft and narrow eyes exuded a crystal luster, which was the pity and reluctance after the pain.
, and deeper affection.
This is the only thing in this world that he can't let go of.
…
The next day, chemotherapy officially started.
Different from chemotherapy in China, the level of chemotherapy here is very advanced, and even the medication has very few side effects. Usually, this level of chemotherapy does not need to go to a big hospital or be hospitalized. It can be done in an outpatient clinic and only takes four days.
After six hours, work will not be affected.
This made Lin Yuer somewhat relieved, but compared to other patients, Gu Xicen's situation was a bit special. He had mustard gas toxins remaining in his body, which made chemotherapy more difficult.
Dr. Walker formulated a detailed plan. After the first day of chemotherapy, he personally stayed to observe Gu Xicen's condition. After confirming that the plan could be continued, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After chemotherapy, his appetite became even worse and he couldn't take a bite at all. His energy was also not good, and he lay in bed, sometimes feeling drowsy. Lin Yuer and the nurse took turns taking care of him, and he didn't dare to leave even half a step away.
He had been falling asleep, and Lin Yuer was lying beside the bed, her eyes were very dry.
"Miss, you can rest for a while, I'll just take care of you here," the nurse said considerately.
"Thank you, Patricia." Lin Yue'er did not go to rest on the sofa, but lay directly there, holding his hand, closing his eyes and wanting to rest for a while.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep...
"Xiaoyue...Xiaoyue?"
Hearing this voice, she opened her eyes suddenly. Gu Xicen had woken up long ago and was sitting there, looking at her with a smile.
The sunlight slanted in through the window and hit him, as if it was specially decorated for him. His whole body was enveloped in a warm and warm glow. He held her hand with a smile.
"Xicen..."
Lin Yuer looked at him blankly, as if she was in a dream.
"Xiaoyue, thank you for your hard work." He said.
Lin Yue'er kept shaking her head, "It's not hard for me, it's not hard for me!" She grabbed his hand and put it against her face, "As long as you are fine, I don't care what happens."
He smiled, "It's okay, I won't feel pain anymore."
"Really?" Lin Yuer was overjoyed, "Did the chemotherapy work?"
He smiled and said nothing, and put his hand on her face, his eyes full of deep affection that could not be turned away, "Xiaoyue, I am really sorry for this period of time. If it weren't for me, your current life might not be the same."
It's a different look. No more sadness, no more tears."
Lin Yuer looked at him and said firmly, "Xicen, I have never given up on you. Even if I am sad and shed tears for you, I am grateful that I can still feel like this now. At least, you make me feel
, I no longer live the life of a walking zombie."
His eyes became softer, and he looked at her like this, which made her suddenly feel uneasy, "Xicen... you... why are you looking at me like this?"
He grabbed her hand, leaned forward, held her in his arms, and patted her back comfortingly, "It's over, everything is over."
"Really?" Lin Yuer squeezed him tightly and asked nervously, "Xicen, have you recovered from your illness?"
Gu Xicen smiled and just spoke.
She was anxious, "Xicen, please tell me quickly!"
He lowered his eyes, suddenly let go of his embrace, turned his head, and looked out the window, "Xiaoyue, it's time for me to go."
"Go? Where to go?"
There was a premonition in her heart that she would not let go, which made her subconsciously hold on to him, "Xicen, you can't go anywhere! I won't let you go!"
He was still looking outside, the sun was shining brightly and the wind was gentle.
"Xicen, please speak!" Lin Yuer was about to burst into tears. She grabbed his hand and held it tightly, refusing to let go.
At this time, he turned his head and looked directly at her, "Xiaoyue, forget about me."
Xiaoyue, please forget about me.
Forget it...
The person who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up, breathing heavily in his chest and sweating profusely.
Looking at Gu Xicen again, he always had his eyes closed, his face was as pale as paper, and he showed no signs of waking up.
Just now, it was just a dream.
Lin Yuer closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, not bad...
Opening her eyes and looking at him again, she narrowed her eyes, stroked his face, and said softly, "Xicen, I won't let you leave easily, so don't think of leaving me just like that."
It wasn't until late at night that Gu Xicen woke up.
The ward was quiet, Patricia was not there, only Lin Yuer was guarding the bedside.
Holding his hand, he lay beside him and fell asleep.
He gently raised his hand and stroked her hair.
He is the one who is sick, but in fact, she should be the one who really works hard.
His own body, he knew very well, was deteriorating.
Even chemotherapy can't change anything.
Unless there is a miracle created by God.
He is not a person who cares about life and death, but after having her, the situation is different.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of her. After she lost Mint, he secretly swore that he would always take care of her like this until the day he died.
Now, doesn't he break his promise?
But such a result would only make him helpless.
Lin Yue'er's eyelashes trembled a few times, and when she opened her eyes and met his calm gaze, she smiled, "Xicen, you're awake, do you feel any discomfort?"
Gu Xicen shook her head slightly, her voice could not be softer, "Have you eaten?"
She has also lost a lot of weight, there is not much flesh on her cheeks, her chin seems to be sharpened, and her eyes appear bigger.
"I've eaten. Today is Patricia's daughter's birthday. She made a lot of delicious food and even went to the hospital to bring some to me in the evening."
He smiled and said, "Give Patricia a gift for me."
"Haha, I sent it to you a long time ago, and she likes it very much. She said that she will pray for you every night, hoping that you can be discharged from the hospital soon."
He lowered his eyes, smiled and said, "Thank her for me."
Lin Yuer squeezed his hand, which was still cold. She asked cautiously, "Xicen, do you want to inform your grandpa?"
He shook his head again, "He is too old to bear the trouble."
"Then...where is Gu Wangchuan?"
"Brother is in more pain than anyone else right now. Don't let my affairs affect him anymore."
Lin Yue'er responded with a smile, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
"Xiao Yue, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while..."
"Okay, you go to sleep, I'm right here, call me if you need anything."
Gu Xicen slowly closed his eyes. The words he just said made him very tired.
Lin Yuer stared at him quietly until he fell asleep again... maybe he was in a coma.
"Xicen, don't sleep for too long, I'm waiting for you here." She still smiled firmly, smiling until her cheeks were covered with tears, and she didn't even realize it.
