All vows are made with the upper lip resting on the lower, so easily spoken. But in practice, are they truly as simple as they are said to be?
Setting aside whether Ye Ziyu liked him or not, his current actions alone had already lowered her opinion of him to negative numbers, or even fewer points.
Ye Ziyu broke free from the infatuated Gu Xiuyu. All she wanted now was the antidote; she didn't want to hear him speak another word of his love for her.
"I'll agree, when will you give me the antidote."
"The antidote, you say."
Gu Xiuyu deliberately slowed his speech. If something was obtained too easily, it wouldn't show its value. Just like Ye Ziyu at this moment, obtaining her required so much effort. Therefore, her taking the antidote to save Di Mingjue couldn't be so easy either.
"If you come back with me now and we spend a day as husband and wife, I'll naturally give you the antidote then," Gu Xiuyu said.
For a couple to live together, besides normal life, they also had to sleep in the same bed.
Ye Ziyu found this unacceptable.
She wanted to save Di Mingjue, but she couldn't betray him.
"You can think about it. I'm not in a hurry. Contact me anytime when you've made up your mind," Gu Xiuyu no longer pressed Ye Ziyu.
Gu Xiuyu did not escort Ye Ziyu upstairs. After she turned to leave, he got into his car and drove away.
"Madam." Shen Lin emerged from the hospital.
Ye Ziyu walked towards him, and if not for this address, she wouldn't have noticed him.
Without bothering to guess the daze on her face, Shen Lin said to her, "President Di is awake!"
"Mingjue is awake?" Ye Ziyu's distant gaze instantly locked onto Shen Lin's face.
"Yes, just now. Hurry and come with me!"
"Mmm."
The two figures hurried through the crowd.
"Ziyu jie." Yu Xixi called out.
Ye Ziyu quickly walked from the elevator to the door of the ward. Through the glass, she saw Di Mingjue being resuscitated by doctors inside the room. The mere sight made her tremble and her hairs stand on end. "He..."
"Mingjue ge just woke up, and then he suddenly started to vomit blood. The doctors have been inside for a long time. We don't know how his condition is right now," Yu Xixi explained with a sob.
Ye Chenhan frowned, looking at Ye Ziyu with concern.
"Vomiting blood... that means the toxin has already begun to spread..." Ye Ziyu murmured, her soul lost as she moved to the glass window. Placing her palm against it, her body almost broke through the window to enter.
Nurses continuously wiped the blood from Di Mingjue's mouth, and the bloody cotton swabs piled up on the plate beside him.
The instruments beside him beeped, and the numbers on them began to drop.
The doctor's hands pressing on Di Mingjue's chest became more forceful, as if trying to lift him off the bed.
A nurse nearby suddenly turned and drew all the curtains that had been opened.
"Ziyu." Ye Chenhan took Ye Ziyu's hand. "Trust the doctors."
If the doctors had a way, the blood wouldn't be uncontrollably flowing.
Shaking off Ye Chenhan's hand, Ye Ziyu disregarded everyone's obstruction and pushed open the door.
"Family members are not allowed to enter!" A nurse reached out to block Ye Ziyu as she moved forward.
Reaching the bedside, Ye Ziyu looked at Di Mingjue, whose face had turned purple. She knew this meant the toxin was spreading. If it wasn't controlled by an antidote, it could easily spread to other organs. By then, even if an antidote was available, it might not be very effective.
Ye Ziyu glanced at the mobile cart beside her and picked up a surgical scalpel from it.
"Move aside."
"What are you doing?"
The doctor blocked Ye Ziyu, intimidated by the knife in her hand.
During the dispute, Di Mingjue vomited blood again.
Ye Ziyu could no longer hesitate. She pushed away the doctor's restraining arm, "If you can't do anything, then move aside."
The doctor indeed had no answer for Di Mingjue's vomiting blood.
