Chemotherapy is usually accompanied by side effects. Fortunately, Dr. Walker chose drugs with minimal side effects, including the treatment plan, which he and several experts studied for a long time before deciding. He was infected with carcinogens and had protozoa in his body.
Viruses will accelerate the division and metastasis of cancer cells until they completely take over his body, making treatment very difficult.
Now, everyone is racing against time, trying to suppress the disease through chemotherapy and quickly find an effective treatment. But disappointingly, chemotherapy did not work on him.
"Ms. Lin, I can only say that I'm sorry. None of the methods I've tried so far have worked on Gu Xicen." Dr. Walker said apologetically.
When Lin Yuer learned the result, she was unusually calm.
Doctor Walker looked at her worriedly, "Ms. Lin, are you okay?"
He knew that she was his fiancée and how much she loved him, so he felt even more sorry. After all, today, when cancer is not as easy to treat as a cold, it is still a terrible disease called a "terminal disease"
Disease.
Lin Yuer lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Dr. Walker, I have never given up, and please don't give up on him. I believe you can cure him."
Doctor Walker looked at her, infected by her persistence, and smiled gently, "Thank you, I will try my best!"
After leaving Dr. Walker's office, Lin Yuer slowly walked back and then walked down the stairs step by step.
The current result made her want to cry, but there were no tears left. She could only be forced to accept it, and she had to keep cheering herself up. He would eventually be fine, and he would be fine...
She felt dizzy for a moment, her foot suddenly came up empty, and when she was still three or four steps away, she fell straight down, and her forehead hit the ground, causing it to turn red.
"Ah, Miss!" Someone passing by helped her up, "How are you?"
"I...I'm fine." Lin Yuer leaned against the wall, her face bloodless, maybe because she hadn't slept well, and her spirit was very low.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong? Do you want to see a doctor?"
She waved her hand and forced a smile, "Thank you."
She walked down the stairs again.
Now, her feeling of pain is no longer so clear.
When she returned to the ward, Patricia was taking care of Gu Xicen. Seeing the reddish patch on her forehead, she quickly asked, "Miss, what's wrong with your head?"
"I bumped into him by accident." Lin Yuer walked over and asked, "Is he awake?"
Patricia shook her head, "I haven't woken up yet."
"Patricia, you go back and rest, I'm here."
"Miss, can you be alone?" Patricia said with some worry, "Your face looks very ugly, you should go back and take a rest."
"I'm fine, you can go back."
"Uh, okay then, just call me if you need anything."
"Um."
Patricia left, and Lin Yuer stayed alone in the ward looking at Gu Xicen.
His face was losing weight rapidly, and he was basically unable to eat anymore. If he continued like this, his stomach function would also decrease.
He now sleeps for more than ten hours every day, and most of the time he is awake, he is half asleep and half awake. It is difficult to say a few words to him during the day. She always comforts herself by thinking that this is okay, she can sleep.
If you catch it, you will lose consciousness, at least you won't be tortured by that damn pain.
"Xiaoyue..."
He called her softly.
Lin Yuer came back to her senses and found that he was awake. She quickly smiled and said, "I'm here. Do you feel better?"
He looked at her and responded, "Yeah."
Knowing that he was lying and comforting herself, Lin Yue'er still smiled and said, "That's good. Doctor Walker said that the treatment plan is very effective. It is only a matter of time before you are discharged from the hospital. However, before that, you must not
I’m so discouraged! I have to actively cooperate with his treatment.”
He stared at her and wanted to raise his hand, but he could only move his fingers, "What's wrong with your forehead...?"
Lin Yuer touched it and felt a little pain.
It must be swollen.
"Haha, it's okay. I touched it accidentally just now."
Gu Xicen wanted to say something, but he didn't. Lin Yue'er thought he was tired and wanted to sleep again, so he immediately said, "You can sleep for a while longer. I'll stay here and won't go anywhere."
"...Xiaoyue," he called her.
"Um?"
"Don't hold on for me... anymore." He took advantage of the rare waking moment to say what he wanted to say.
Whenever you open your eyes, you will see that she is getting more and more haggard and thinner. She has already lost weight to just eighty pounds. If she continues like this, she will be the first to get into trouble.
He didn't want that, and would rather let her give up.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yuer glared at him, "If I don't support you, who will I support for? Besides, you will be fine soon, so what does it matter if I support you for a while?"
His eyes moved slightly, flashing with pity and intolerance.
"Go... put some medicine on it, it's red and ugly."
"You think I'm ugly now?" Lin Yue'er scolded unhappily, "What will we do in the future? We still have ten, twenty, fifty years. When my face is full of wrinkles, don't you want to
Are you even more disgusted?"
The ten years, twenty years, and fifty years she mentioned are indeed very desirable.
If he can really follow her, it must be the most successful thing he has ever done in his life!
However, time will seem insignificant in the face of fate.
He raised his lips and said softly, "Even if you are full of wrinkles, you are still the most beautiful."
One sentence made her smile again, "You, just coax me!"
He smiled, but the smile made him look even weaker. Lin Yueer saw it, his face was smiling, but his heart was bleeding.
He raised his hand with difficulty to hold hers, but Lin Yuer immediately held his hand first.
"Go back to my brother." He said quietly, "He still loves you..."
Lin Yue'er's expression changed, "Gu Xicen, what are you talking about!"
"I'll rest assured if I leave you to him."
Lin Yuer quickly shook off his hand, stood up, and looked at him in disbelief, "You want me to go find Gu Wangchuan?"
Gu Xicen used his will to hold on and stay awake for a moment. He knew that if he didn't say some things now, he might not have a chance in the future. He would be swallowed up by the endless darkness, and by then, he would be helpless.
Watching her cry alone was not the future life he wanted to give her.
His voice was very soft, "Everyone makes mistakes, and the punishment for him is enough. If you go back...he will cherish you more than his own life...because he is my brother, so I trust him."
"
"Gu Xicen!" Lin Yuer was extremely angry. This was the first time she had used such a tone to him since he fell ill, "What do you think I am? Is it your brother's ball? You can do whatever you want.
Kicking it around, when he doesn't want it, he passes it to you, and if you don't want it anymore, you kick it back to him..."
At the end of the sentence, she choked up and tears overflowed from her eyes, "Life is my own, how I want to live it is my business, I don't need you to worry about it!"
Not wanting to say any more, she turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I heard a "plop" behind me.
She was startled and turned around to see Gu Xicen falling off the bed.
"Xicen!" Lin Yuer quickly ran over and helped him up, "Why did he fall? Is there any injury? Where does it hurt..." She was so anxious that she cried and tried to help him up, but she was so thin.
But she had no strength at all.
Gu Xicen's equally skinny hand grasped hers tightly and leaned into her arms, breathing hard, "Don't go... don't go..."
"I won't leave, I won't go anywhere..." she cried, hugging him tightly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper... I won't do it again, never again."
Leaning against her, Gu Xicen's consciousness began to become blurry again, but he just subconsciously held on to her, fearing that she would leave the next second, "Xiaoyue...Xiaoyue, turn on the light...it's so dark in here."
, I can’t see you anymore…”
Lin Yue'er's heart was shaken, trembling, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
Seeing his indifferent reaction, she felt heartbroken. She hugged him tightly and said softly, "The lamp is broken. I will find someone to fix it right away. It will be fixed..."
Gu Xicen raised his hand and grabbed hers, his eyes began to blur, and he murmured, "Xiao Yue, don't be angry with me... I don't want you to be angry... That would be more uncomfortable than being sick..."
She hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Okay, I'm not angry, I won't be angry again..."
Gradually, the person in his arms lost his voice.
Lin Yue'er tried her best, reached out to press the pager, called the nurse, and then helped lift him to the bed.
Seeing him in a comatose state again, Lin Yuer felt physically and mentally exhausted for the first time, as if her vitality was being taken away bit by bit by him.
"Hey, Miss Lin, you have a scratch on your head?" The nurse saw the wound on her forehead and insisted on taking her to the nurse's station and treating her wound.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." The nurse said, "We are very touched to see you being so kind to your boyfriend. We hope he can recover soon."
Lin Yuer smiled palely, "Yes."
Even if it is a lie, repeated a thousand times, it will be regarded as truth. She does not believe in modern medicine, but believes in her own beliefs.
She went to see Dr. Walker again. After hearing her words, Dr. Walker was silent. After a while, he said, "Patients with advanced cancer will have symptoms of blindness. Of course, if the condition improves, the blindness will only be temporary."
Lin Yuer's whole body was cold and she returned to the ward. She refused to leave for a moment.
She was afraid that when he woke up, he wouldn't be able to see her.
In the quiet ward, he was falling asleep, and her mind slowly began to become clearer.
After getting up, she took out her phone and went to the balcony. After hesitating for a moment, she finally picked up Gu Wangchuan's phone.
"Hello? Xiaoyue?" There was Gu Wangchuan's hoarse and low voice. Just from the voice, you could tell that he was having a bad life, very bad.
Lin Yuer bit her lower lip, raised her head and stared at the blue sky, and said softly, "Xicen is sick... If you have time, come to Boston."
There was a moment of silence, and the person opposite took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"……cancer."
She heard the sound of something breaking over there, and soon, he said calmly and hoarsely, "Give me the address, and I'll book a flight immediately."
After Lin Yuer reported her address, the call was hung up.
Although Gu Xicen didn't want his family to know, she couldn't deprive them of their right to see him!
………………
The next day, Gu Wangchuan arrived.
He only made one phone call, put down all his work, and rushed here without stopping.
When Lin Yuer was at the door of the hospital, he was stunned. In less than a month, she became so thin that he didn't even dare to recognize her.
Lin Yuer looked very calm and smiled at him, "I decided to call you after thinking about it for a long time."
Gu Wangchuan gritted his teeth, suppressed his distressed urge to hold her in his arms, and asked in a deep voice, "How is he now?"
"Let's talk while we walk." Lin Yuer turned around and asked again as if remembering something, "By the way, have you found a hotel yet?"
"Someone has already arranged it."
"That's good."
Along the way, neither of them spoke much. Lin Yuer felt that she had said too much and had nothing to say, while Gu Wangchuan was always weighed down by the heavy boulder in his heart and became much silent.
When he came to Gu Xicen's ward and saw the name on the door, Gu Wangchuan's eyes tightened and he closed his eyes tightly, then slowly opened them and said, "Go in."
Knowing that he was mentally prepared, Lin Yuer pushed the door open.
Gu Wangchuan followed her in, and when he saw the unconscious person on the bed, his heart felt like he was being stabbed hard.
"He will be in a coma like this most of the time during this period." Lin Yuer said quietly, "But fortunately, there will be a time when he is awake every day, and he will ask me what I have eaten and what I have done...
"As she spoke, she smiled softly, "The doctor said that he is very strong and is the strongest patient he has ever seen. So far, no matter what kind of treatment he uses, he has never made a sound.
"
Gu Wangchuan's fists slowly clenched, and his eyes began to turn red. Looking at his sleeping brother, he suppressed a lot to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions. When he came to him, he called softly, "Xi Cen? Xi
Cen is the eldest brother..."
Gu Xicen was still sleeping peacefully. No matter how many times he called her, there was no response, as if she was in another peaceful world.
After a long time, Gu Wangchuan raised his eyes and said, "I want to see his attending doctor."
Lin Yuer nodded, handed Gu Xicen to the nurse, and then took him to see Dr. Walker.
When he learned that he was Gu Xicen's eldest brother, Dr. Walker immediately warmly received him, and the two chatted inside for a long time. Gu Wangchuan became familiar with his condition, and the boulder in his heart sank a little more, weighing him down until he couldn't breathe.
.
The United States is the country with the most advanced medical care in the world, and Massachusetts General Hospital is the number one hospital in the United States. If even they are helpless, then there will really be no solution.
Lin Yuer was waiting outside, sitting there quietly, looking so thin and weak that it made people feel distressed.
Gu Wangchuan could imagine how hard she had to work to take care of Xi Cen. He felt very complicated towards this woman, feeling distressed and... grateful.
"Have we talked?" Seeing him coming out, she stood up.
"Yes." Gu Wangchuan's expression was a little heavy. Lin Yue'er saw it and comforted him softly, "It doesn't matter. As long as we don't give up, there will still be hope."
He knows better than anyone how much she has been hurt. He also understands how afraid she is of these places full of disinfectant smell. But she can calmly comfort herself. Gu Wangchuan really can't imagine these things.
God, how did she survive this?
The figure walking in front was so thin that it seemed as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
"Xiaoyue," he called her.
"Huh?" Lin Yuer turned her head.
"Is it very hard?" he asked.
She smiled softly, "It's okay, it's not hard." Looking back, she said lightly, "As long as I can see him every day, it's worth it."
Hearing her words, his mood became more complicated.
"You..." Lin Yuer turned around and looked at him, "Don't be too sad about Lin'er."
Hearing that she could comfort him, Gu Wangchuan closed his eyes lightly to hide the emotions there, "I have been mentally prepared since the day he was born, but I..."
Knowing what he wanted to say, Lin Yuer smiled lightly and said, "Don't mention the past anymore."
Although Mint's death made her miserable, was it equally uncomfortable for him? At least, she could still hate him and survive by hating him. What about him? He could only hate himself. Now, he has lost another child.
, what else can she say?
Gu Wangchuan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, don't mention it again. The most important thing now is Xi Cen."
When Gu Xicen was mentioned, Lin Yuer fell silent again. After a while, he asked, "Does Grandpa Gu know?"
Gu Wangchuan shook his head, "I didn't tell him."
Because of Lin Hui's sudden appearance, the news that the Lin family's formula had been destroyed gave him a big blow. Although he didn't say it, he looked a little depressed, and he couldn't even be interested in the company's affairs.
.Gu Wangchuan chose to conceal Xi Cen's matter, as well as his father's matter.
When the two returned to the ward, Patricia felt uneasy and hurriedly cooked a meal for her daughter before returning home and bringing lunch to Lin Yuer.
"Thank you, Patricia," Lin Yuer smiled and turned around to introduce Gu Wangchuan.
Seeing that she had lost so much weight, Gu Wangchuan urged her to eat first while he went out and made a few phone calls.
Lin Yuer had a bad appetite. After eating a few mouthfuls, he put it down and hurried to the bathroom, retching violently.
Patricia came over and asked worriedly, "Ms. Lin, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
She waved her hand, "It's okay, it's just disgusting."
"Ms. Lin, you have to take care of yourself. Mr. Gu still needs you. You might step down first."
"I know."
After not eating properly for several days, Lin Yuer couldn't vomit anything. She walked out in discomfort. Patricia suddenly asked, "Ms. Lin... are you pregnant?"
Lin Yuer's steps suddenly froze.
Patricia said, "I have given birth to four children, so I know this reaction very well."
Lin Yuer was stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Pregnant……
She never thought that this kind of thing would happen, but counting the days, she was already two weeks late this month...
She had been pregnant with Mint, so of course she knew what Patricia meant, but she didn't expect it at all!
This result was so unexpected that she didn't even have time to react.
"Ms. Lin, you'd better go for a check-up. If you really have a child, you have to take good care of yourself from now on."
She looked at Patricia, then lowered her head, looking at her thin and flat belly. When she raised her head again, she saw Gu Wangchuan with the same complicated expression.
There was only a moment of silence before he walked over and looked at her with his dark eyes, "I'm going to have an examination right now. I'll go with you." After saying that, he pulled her out without any explanation.
Lin Yuer passively followed him, still in a state of confusion.
Fortunately, they were in the hospital, and the test results came out quickly. She was indeed pregnant, already half a month old.
Lin Yuer sat on the chair, her cheek buried in her palms.
Pregnant, she is actually pregnant...
Is this a gift from God? Because Xi Cen will leave?
She didn't dare to imagine any more, and the joy of pregnancy was replaced by deep panic.
Gu Wangchuan came out with the medicine prescribed by the doctor. When he saw her look, he immediately understood what she was resisting. He walked over and sat next to her. He couldn't feel any easier than her.
Go. Faced with this complicated situation, all he can do is to support her unconditionally and take care of her.
After giving her a deep look, he said, "I'll hire another nurse. You can go back to rest today and raise your baby at home. It's better to come less often to a place like the hospital."
Lin Yuer shook her head without thinking, "I don't trust him."
Gu Wangchuan frowned, "I have already arranged the company's affairs, and I will stay here."
She still shook her head. Seeing her being so stubborn and pitying her heart made him angry, "If you don't think about yourself, shouldn't you also think about the child in your belly? Didn't you hear what the doctor said? If you do this again
If you continue to be tired, you...will lose this child."
While saying this, his voice was trembling.
Regardless of whether this child is his or not, the only thing he wants to do is to try his best to keep it! He cannot lose it again...
The pain of losing flesh and blood still makes his lips and teeth run cold to this day.
Whether he was trying to make up for it or lighten the burden he was carrying, his nervousness was completely superior to hers.
Lin Yue'er subconsciously reached out and touched her lower abdomen. The pain caused by the peppermint has continued to this day, making her full of expectation and fear for this child.
Gu Wangchuan stood up and said, "Let's go, wherever you live, I'll take you back."
Lin Yuer said, "I want to go back to the ward first and tell Xi Cen the good news."
Gu Wangchuan looked at her and slowly revealed a warm smile, "Okay."
Back in the ward, Lin Yuer came directly to the bedside and held his cold hand, "Xicen, there is news that I want to tell you as soon as possible."
Gu Wangchuan stood behind the two of them, looking at his brother on the hospital bed, his eyes slightly red.
