Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has the world's most advanced medical team and medical technology. Ito contacted Dr. Walker through a friend, who is a world-renowned expert in non-small cell lung cancer and bone marrow cancer.
The weather in Boston is similar to that of E-city. The sky in the early morning is always drizzling and gloomy.
In the ward of the inpatient department, Lin Yuer put the flowers she had just bought into a vase, bringing some life to the ward.
The person on the bed slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw her arranging flowers. He smiled softly, "Why are you here so early again?"
Lin Yue'er turned around, smiled at him, and brought over the breakfast she made herself, "I couldn't sleep, so I got up early."
In order to make it easier to take care of him, Ito specially rented an apartment, which was only two streets away, so it was very close.
Lin Yuer has been here for a few days, but has not appreciated the urban construction of Boston or visited the historical sites. He has stayed in the hospital every day and will not return to the apartment to rest until the time of myopia has passed.
Seeing that her chin had become thinner and pointed in just a few days, Gu Xicen said with some distress, "There are nurses here, don't go to the hospital so hard."
Lin Yuer sat next to him with a smile, held his big hand, put it on his cheek, and rubbed his palm like a greedy kitten, "I'm not tired."
He stroked her face and said, "You said you're not tired yet, but your face looks so ugly. I'm afraid you'll fall ill before me."
"Haha, then it's you who will take care of me." Lin Yuer raised a sweet smile and murmured, "You have to cook the dishes I like, accompany me to the places I like, and you can't be harsh on me or mess with me.
Everything must go according to my wishes." As she said this, she narrowed her eyes yearningly, "That must feel so good!"
Gu Xicen smiled and said, "You don't have to wait until then, you can do it now."
Lin Yuer raised her nose and glared at him angrily, "Not now. Now you have to cooperate with the doctor and treat me obediently. When you get better, do you think I will let you go?"
Gu Xicen chuckled and nodded, "Yeah."
"Okay, let's have some breakfast." Lin Yuer helped him sit up, dragged the table over, and put breakfast on the table. She was afraid that he wouldn't be used to the food here, so she got up early and cooked millet porridge.
"Have you eaten?" he asked.
"You've eaten. Hurry up and eat."
He narrowed his eyes, a flash of insight in his eyes, "Really?"
Knowing that she could never hide it from him, Lin Yuer answered helplessly and honestly, "I have no appetite."
"I still have breakfast even if I don't have an appetite." He pulled her over stubbornly, "Let's eat together."
"I really don't want to..."
Gu Xicen didn't say anything more, just raised his eyebrows, and Lin Yue'er sighed and compromised obediently, "Then I'll eat some."
After eating, the nurse came in to take his temperature and gave him another injection before going out.
Lin Yue'er sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder. The two looked out the window together and stared at the gray sky. She said, "Xicen, you always ask me what I want to do most. Actually,
There’s only one.”
He lowered his head and looked at her beautiful face, "What?"
She lowered her eyes and said, "I just want to put on a wedding dress once." Although she had been married once, it was only to register and get a certificate. There was no ceremony, let alone putting on a wedding dress.
He was suddenly shaken.
How could he not understand her hint? However, he remained silent.
Lin Yuer looked back and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, what's your attitude? If you don't want to, just say so!"
After a long silence, he spoke, "Xiaoyue, you know my situation."
"So what?" Lin Yuer said nonchalantly, "What's the conflict with me marrying you? Unless..." She narrowed her eyes dangerously, "You don't want to marry me at all!"
He shook his head and laughed, "How could it be?"
If what he wanted to do before was to protect the Gu family, then the only thing he wanted after that was to marry her and do his best to give her a complete and happy life.
But the reality is extremely cruel.
However, even if it doesn't come true, it's still good to have such a luxury wish. Even now, she can still be by his side so that he can see it every day when he opens his eyes, and he is content.
"Then marry me!" Lin Yuer grabbed his hand and said persistently, "Xicen, I have been married once, and you know that scarred past better than anyone else. So, don't think about rejecting me, because
, it took a lot of effort for me to speak to you."
Gu Xicen looked at her deeply, but still shook her head, "Because of this, I can't ruin you anymore."
She chose him, the brother of her ex-husband, without hesitation, but she failed to have a complete ending. What a deep blow to her? He would rather that this was just an episode in her long life, and the song ended, but she still remained.
There will be lingering sounds.
This is the best ending.
Seeing that he was so stubborn that he refused to listen to advice, Lin Yue'er became a little anxious, and her eye circles turned red, "You are called chaos at first and abandonment at the end!"
Facing her accusation, he could only smile, "Xiaoyue, I couldn't help it..."
"It's just an excuse if you can't help it!" Lin Yue'er grabbed his hand tightly, "I don't care, you have to marry me! This is the first time in my life that I propose to someone. If you refuse, I will be homeless for the rest of my life.
face!"
He smiled more and more helplessly, "Xiaoyue, I..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a fit of coughing that made his chest vibrate and his face turned red from suppressing it.
Lin Yuer quickly stroked his back, "Xicen, don't worry, I won't force you anymore, I won't force you anymore..."
Seeing him working so hard, Lin Yuer's heart ached.
After coughing for a long time and losing all strength, he sat down on the bed weakly.
The disease progressed faster than expected. In just a few days, he had trouble even doing the most basic functions. He spent more time in bed every day, either drawing blood or doing tests. He accepted this or that.
inspection.
Even if the doctor didn't say it, Ito didn't say it, and she didn't say it, he still understood in his heart.
The tumor has metastasized.
What a terrible word, but now that he kept repeating it in his mind, he was actually very calm.
However, he could never let go of the worried woman in front of him.
What would she do without him?
Who else can take care of her on his behalf, as if he were taking care of his own life?
And is she willing to give her heart to him?
A series of questions kept flashing in his mind, but the answers always made him discouraged.
He didn't trust her to be taken care of by others, and he didn't trust her to take care of herself...
"Xicen, is there any pain anywhere? Tell me and I'll go find a doctor right away!" she asked anxiously.
He shook his head and said no. In order to reassure her, he deliberately gave her a most relaxed smile, raised his hand and stroked her face, "I will be fine, don't worry."
She smiled and said, "Well, I'm not worried."
After leaving the ward, Lin Yue'er couldn't help but shed tears. She couldn't tell how many times she had shed tears. Except for the day at the airport, she secretly hid her tears and only allowed them to leave.
Appears where he cannot see.
After sniffing, she regained her strength and went to see Dr. Walker.
Although Dr. Walker has a long reputation, he is a young Asian doctor in his early thirties. He is handsome and is said to be very popular with female doctors and nurses. When he saw Lin Yuer, he smiled warmly and said, "Ms. Lin, what?"
thing?"
"Dr. Walker, I'm sorry to bother you again." Lin Yue'er sat over and handed over a small gift, "This is a bag of spices I prepared. We call it 'sachet' in China. I give it to you."
"Thank you," Dr. Walker took it and opened the lid. Instantly, a fragrance hit his nostrils. The fragrance was fresh and refreshing. Dr. Walker took a deep sniff and said with fondness, "This is really great. Thank you, Lin."
Miss."
Lin Yuer smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Since coming to this hospital, she has a very good impression of Dr. Walker, who is a good and responsible doctor.
"Is this 'scent sachet' really made by you?" He picked it up and looked like he couldn't put it down.
Hearing his weird pronunciation, Lin Yue'er smiled and nodded, "This is my favorite fragrance. I hope you will like it too."
"I really like it so much!" Dr. Walker did not hesitate to show his affection, which actually made Lin Yuer a little embarrassed.
Putting away the sachet, Dr. Walker looked at her and asked softly, "Ms. Lin, are you here to ask about Gu Xicen's condition?"
The smile on Lin Yue'er's face faded slightly and she said "hmm", "Dr. Walker, what are the test results?"
Doctor Walker pulled out Gu Xicen's medical records, glanced at it and said, "Ms. Lin, I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Hearing his words, Lin Yuer's heart suddenly sank...
She didn't know how she walked out of Dr. Walker's office. When she came to the door, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was supported by a passing nurse, "Miss, are you okay?"
She raised her head and said with a pale face, "It's okay..."
After the nurse left, she held onto the wall and sat on the rest chair next to her. People were coming and going around her, and she was like a frozen scene, sitting there motionless.
After sitting for a long time, she was awakened by the phone call.
"Hey, Xiaoyue, where are you?"
It's Ito calling.
She lowered her head, "I'm with Dr. Walker."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there right away."
After a while, Ito came. Seeing her lost look, his heart skipped a beat. He also sat next to her, gritted his teeth and asked, "How is it?"
Lin Yue'er didn't speak, just shook her head, and finally turned around and threw herself into his arms, crying loudly, "The doctor said it was in the late stage..."
Ito froze, frowned, and held her shoulders. Although his heart hurt, he could only hold back and comfort her, "Xiaoyue, Dr. Walker is the world's top expert! I believe he can cure Cen."
!”
The emotions that had been suppressed for several days all collapsed at this moment. Lin Yue'er burst into tears, and her chest was weighed heavily. Even if she wanted to vent, there was no way to vent, so she could only suppress and endure.
Ito was also very uncomfortable, but he couldn't cry, and he had to stay calm at this time.
After crying for a long time, until her head was heavy from crying, Lin Yuer leaned back on the chair, regained her energy, washed her face again, and then returned to the ward with Ito.
The caregiver was a Mexican, a very steady middle-aged woman. When she saw Lin Yuer come in, she quietly told her that Gu Xicen had just vomited out everything she had eaten in the morning.
Lin Yuer gritted her teeth and listened, smiling gently at her, indicating that she would take care of her here.
After the nurse went out, Lin Yuer came to Gu Xicen's bed. He had just fallen asleep, breathing steadily, and his eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time.
Looking at his thin cheek, she reached out her hand to caress him distressedly.
Xi Cen, be strong, you must be strong, we will get through this difficulty together...
Ito stood aside, looking sad, then turned around and left.
He has no time to waste now, he must find a way to save him! If Dr. Walker can't do it, then find other experts! No matter what the cost, he must save that guy!
The ward was very quiet. Lin Yue'er sat beside the bed, holding his hand and placing it against her face, staring at him momentarily. It was as if he was afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Cancer patients change very quickly. In just a few days, they can torture a healthy person until he loses his shape. He is already considered strong and has never cried out in front of her. Even when the doctor extracted the bone marrow, he
I gritted my teeth and endured it. Afterwards, when I saw her crying, I would smile and comfort her...
Tears blurred her vision again, and she murmured, "Xicen, don't leave me alone..."
He lowered his head and rested his forehead on the back of his hand, unable to hold back his tears.
At this moment, the hand she was holding held hers in turn, "Don't cry, I'm fine... I won't leave you..."
Lin Yue'er raised her head, met his gaze, and quickly wiped away her tears, "I didn't cry..."
Gu Xicen just looked at her distressedly and wanted to hug her, but he had no strength. He could only look at her helplessly and shed tears.
"I really didn't cry..." She lowered her head, but she wiped away more and more tears.
Damn it, didn’t you decide not to cry in front of him?
Why can't it be done?!
Gu Xicen took a deep breath and stretched out his hands toward her, "Come here and cry... I don't have the strength to hold you, so you have to come here."
Lin Yue'er bit her lip and looked into his eyes, which blurred countless overlapping images.
She didn't want to cry, but...but...
It's really uncomfortable.
She lay gently on his chest, not daring to press him, and could only feel his arms vaguely.
He was still so safe and secure, even though all the smell of him was replaced by the smell of potion, she still liked him.
Like it very much.
Closing her eyes, she suppressed her crying and choked out, "Xicen, I'm scared."
Gu Xicen stroked her hair, "Don't be afraid..."
She bit her lip tightly, fearing that she would cry.
Gritting her teeth, she left his arms and smiled at him, "Xicen, I just went to see Dr. Walker. He said your condition is not serious, and you just need to cooperate with him!"
Gu Xicen looked at her deeply, raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Well, tell him, I will."
