Xiao Ran took his hand and looked carefully at the gauze. "You can't touch water recently, and if it hurts, you must say so. My mommy is very good, she can make your wound heal quickly."
A cascade of praise made Ye Ziyu cover her mouth and smile.
Xingxing looked back at her, her eyes like a crescent moon, beautiful and captivating.
"Alright, you keep pulling him, not letting him rest well, how can the wound heal quickly?" Ye Ziyu said to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran looked at Xingxing innocently, "Are you sleepy?"
Xingxing remained silent.
"You just woke up and came downstairs, you must not be sleepy. We are playing with sand outside, do you want to join?" Xiao Ran invited.
He only gave Xingxing a few seconds to reply. Before he could open his mouth, his body was being pulled outside.
Ye Ziyu was about to refuse, but Di Mingjue beside her stopped her.
"It's good for them to play together, and it can also help him temporarily forget unhappy things and stop doing things that harm his body."
"Okay."
Ye Ziyu followed Di Mingjue's advice.
...
"Mr. Gu, it's time for your medicine."
A tray with pills and a water cup was placed on the table.
Gu Xiuyu lay flat on the bed with his hands by his sides. If he were still breathing, he would look like a deceased person.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the man spoke again, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Xiuyu opened his eyes, his gaze empty and unfocused, landing on the pills.
"Mr. Gu, you can call me Xiao He from now on. I was arranged by President Ye to take care of you." Xiao He picked up the water cup and pills, and placed them closer to Gu Xiuyu. "President Ye instructed that you must take your medicine on time every day, so that your body can recover quickly and you can do what you need to do."
What he needed to do?
Gu Xiuyu closed his eyes again. Ye Ziyu's charming face appeared in his mind, but his chest ached, and he pressed his hand against it.
"Mr. Gu?" Seeing this, Xiao He immediately grabbed his hand.
The wound near his heart was torn open by his hand. The healing flesh had just begun to close, but it reopened and bled again.
Xiao He's agitated eyelid twitched at the festering wound. "I'll go call the doctor."
"What's wrong?" Ye Shaoting entered from outside the door.
Hearing his voice, Xiao He, who didn't know what to do, felt like he had seen a savior.
"President Ye, Mr. Gu's wound has split open again."
Ye Shaoting walked closer. The blood flowing from the wound was increasing. Upon closer inspection, the flesh around the wound was actively pulsing.
"He did it himself?"
"Yes, he suddenly clutched his chest in pain, and his fingers inadvertently tore open the wound. Also, he's not very cooperative with taking his medicine."
Hearing Xiao He's words, Ye Shaoting looked at Gu Xiuyu, who remained exceptionally calm on the bed.
"Heh, do you think this pathetic state you're in now will make everything go smoothly? You're not eating, not drinking, just lying there waiting to die, while Di Mingjue is embracing Ziyu, and their family is living a happy life."
Gu Xiuyu did not react.
"I went to great lengths to bring you back, avoiding all eyes, not to watch you die in front of me. If you are useless, I will not bother with you anymore, nor will I take care of someone who doesn't want to die," Ye Shaoting said, leaving without looking back.
Words only needed to be said to a certain point; saying too much would be counterproductive.
Xiao He looked at the two of them alone in the room again. He looked at Gu Xiuyu with pity, "You should still take your medicine. If your body recovers quickly, you'll have a chance to fight for what you want. Besides, if your rivals knew you were in this state, they'd laugh."
Ye Ziyu didn't like him, so what was the use of trying so hard?
Gu Xiuyu turned over, his face towards the wall. He positioned himself so that the pressure was exactly on his heart. The wound had just begun to heal, but the pressure caused it to bleed again.
