Chapter 152 The Unbridgeable Gap
A loud noise outside the ward woke Ling Yue from her sleep.
After waking up, she felt that Yi Chen's embrace was gone, and his presence was no longer around her.
The doctor did his best to treat and bandage the wounds on his body.
Although the pain in her body was relieved, she was accompanied by endless loss and despair, the pungent smell of medicine and the darkness before her eyes!
Ling Yue didn't cry or make a fuss. She just lay quietly on the hospital bed, letting the tears from the corners of her eyes keep sliding down!
She just wanted a moment of peace.
However, Gu Chenxin's roar at the door made her feel a little disgusted, but it also reminded her again that the short time they were together a few days ago was just a dream.
At this moment, Ling Yue deeply felt that her marriage with Gu Chenxin had become a cage that bound her.
Just as she was thinking, the door of the ward was slowly opened. Judging from the footsteps, it should be Gu Chenxin!
Hearing the sound of him sitting down beside her bed, Ling Yue slowly closed her eyes.
Her mood was completely different from when they said goodbye at the airport!
Gu Chenxin didn't say anything, but just quietly accompanied Ling Yue, which surprised Ling Yue very much!
She was so surprised that she was not sure who was accompanying her at the moment.
I don’t know how long it was before the nurse came in to change the dressing, breaking the silence in the ward.
"Sir, you're seriously injured. Let us treat your wound quickly, or it will get infected. We'll take good care of your wife!"
Ling Yue vaguely heard the nurse in the South African hospital speaking to Gu Chenxin in English, however, Gu Chenxin ignored what the nurse said.
He saw the attending physician coming in right behind the nurse and asked anxiously.
"Doctor, when will my wife wake up?"
"Once she wakes up, further examinations will be needed before a conclusion can be drawn. Regarding her eyes, we will also know more about them after she wakes up."
The doctor's answer made Gu Chenxin frown. He looked at Ling Yue's pale face, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch Ling Yue, but stopped in mid-air, his hand trembling slightly.
The focus of Gu Chenxin's thoughts at this moment was who saved Ling Yue when the explosion happened.
Who was she with during the days she disappeared?
Looking back, when we found her, her injuries had already been treated with simple wound treatment.
Moreover, the data sent back by the thermal imager of the search drone at the time showed that there were two people active in that area!
One of them is Ling Yue, so who is the other one?
Could it be Yi Chen?
During the search, she was also attacked by nearby wild animals. What exactly did she and the other missing person experience in the past two days?
Ling Yue still had her eyes closed. She could feel Gu Chenxin's gaze, which was like a ball of fire, burning her heart.
She didn't understand why this man who had saved her countless times had changed so much.
Where did the humorous, carefree, and sometimes tender man go?
The nurse next to her was still frightened as she recalled Gu Chenxin's behavior outside the ward just now. She nervously tried to persuade Gu Chenxin to treat the wound again, but he acted as if he didn't hear her.
It was not until the doctor spoke again and emphasized that his injuries might worsen that Gu Chenxin slowly stood up.
When passing by Ling Yue's bed, he leaned over and gently kissed Ling Yue on the forehead, then followed the doctors and nurses out of the ward.
After the door was closed, Ling Yue slowly opened her eyes, and tears blurred her vision again.
She recalled every moment she spent with Yi Chen, those warm moments that formed a sharp contrast with the coldness of the present.
Did Yi Chen just leave me without saying goodbye again?
He is still injured, where can he go?
Why am I in the hospital?
What exactly happened after I fell asleep that day?
Many questions troubled Ling Yue and gave her a splitting headache.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yue fell into sleep again in a daze.
In her dream, she saw Yi Chen, who smiled and extended his hand to her, just like when they first met in the special forces.
But when she wanted to hold those hands, Yi Chen disappeared. She shouted in the darkness, but no one responded.
"Yi Chen, don't go..."
After treating the wound, Gu Chenxin returned to the ward and sat in front of the bed. She listened to Ling Yue calling his name in his sleep. His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He always knew that Yi Chen had always occupied a special place in Ling Yue's heart over the years.
But now, when he once again heard Ling Yue calling that name so fondly in her dream, jealousy still overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
Gu Chenxin tried hard to calm himself down. He stood up and paced back and forth in the ward. The jealousy in his heart made every step he took seem like a heavy shackle.
He looked out the window. The South African sunshine was shining on the streets, but he could not feel a trace of warmth. All that echoed in his ears was Ling Yue's call in her dream and her attachment to Yi Chen.
He walked out of the ward, took out his cell phone, and called his senior brother Shuoyue. His voice was low and cold:
"Still no news? I don't believe he could just disappear... Keep looking."
When he returned to the ward, he sat in front of the bed and looked at the remaining tears in Ling Yue's eyes.
He gently wiped it away for her, and the complex emotions in his eyes became more intense.
"Yuer, why are you crying? Wake up! No matter what, I'm here!"
Gu Chenxin muttered to himself, thinking of the wonderful past they once had, those laughter and sweet moments, but now they seemed to be shrouded in Yi Chen's shadow.
But he also knew that these words seemed so powerless at this moment. The relationship between them was like a lonely boat drifting in a storm, which could be overturned by the waves at any time.
Ling Yue heard every move of Gu Chenxin clearly, and her intuition told her that Gu Chenxin seemed to be looking for Yi Chen as well.
But why did he tell himself that Yi Chen was dead?
Thinking of all this, Ling Yue slowly opened her eyes, however, it was still pitch black in front of her.
"Yue'er, are you awake?"
Gu Chenxin shouted in surprise, and then he pressed the doctor's call bell...
But the next second, despair and sadness occupied Gu Chenxin's entire heart.
He looked at Ling Yue's empty eyes and waved his hands in front of her eyes, but Ling Yue did not react.
"Yu'er, your eyes?" Gu Chenxin's voice was filled with fear and worry. He held Ling Yue's face with trembling hands, trying to find a trace of clarity in her eyes.
Ling Yue's lips trembled slightly, and she sneered, "I... I can't see."
Her voice was soft, but it hit Gu Chen's heart like a heavy hammer.
Gu Chenxin immediately hugged Ling Yue tightly without saying anything, "It's okay, Yue'er, we will return to China, and Doctor Yuan will definitely cure you."
But he also knew that these words were more of a comfort to himself and Ling Yue.
At this time, the doctor and nurse heard the noise and rushed over and gave Ling Yue a simple examination.
After a long time, the doctor gave the result that Ling Yue's condition was not optimistic. The impact of the explosion may have damaged her optic nerve. The medical conditions here are poor, so it is recommended to return to China for treatment.
"I'm not leaving! My work here is not finished yet." When Ling Yue knew that Gu Chenxin planned to take her back to China, she immediately raised her objection.
She couldn't leave, she still had to look for Yichen...
