Translator: End Less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Nianyao slept restlessly. Her eyelashes were trembling, and her hand was constantly twitching. Gu Wencheng touched her forehead, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Meng Nianyao murmured something in a low voice. Gu Wencheng leaned over and asked, “What did you say?”
“I don’t feel good…”
“Gu Wencheng, I feel so uncomfortable…”
Meng Nianyao cried. Her voice was very soft, but it pierced Gu Wencheng’s heart like a thorn.
Gu Wencheng bent down and touched Meng Nianyao’s forehead, his thumb smoothening her wrinkled eyebrows as if he was comforting a child. “Okay, you won’t feel uncomfortable anymore. Go to sleep.”
Meng Nianyao was in a daze, and a tear fell from her eyes. Gu Wencheng wiped away her tears and leaned over to kiss her forehead.”Be good.”
Perhaps Gu Wencheng’s comforting words worked; Meng Nianyao gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, the sky was still dark. The lights in the ward were dim and Gu Wencheng was sitting on the edge of the ward with his eyes closed. It was unknown whether he was asleep or not.
Meng Nianyao moved her hand and realized that Gu Wencheng had been holding it.
Meng Nianyao looked up. Her gaze fell on his face. Something seemed to be stirring in her heart. She panicked and suddenly recalled what he had said to her. He said that there would be no love in their marriage.
Meng Nianyao closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her heart was already calm.
“You’re awake?” Gu Wencheng opened his eyes, looking tired.
Meng Nianyao smiled and said politely, “I’m sorry to have made you wait for the whole night.”
Gu Wencheng’s face turned cold. “So you’re feeling better now?”
Meng Nianyao nodded.
“That’s good. I’ll go wash my face. It’s still early, so you can rest for a while.” Gu Wencheng then went to the bathroom.
Meng Nianyao had a fever the entire night, and she didn’t look energetic at all. When Gu Wencheng came out, she had already fallen back asleep.
Gu Wencheng glanced at her and went out to smoke. As soon as he took out the cigarette, he saw a nurse coming over with a tray in the corridor to draw blood. Gu Wencheng glanced at the ward and whispered to the nurse, “She just fell asleep. Can you test her later?”
The nurse was a little troubled. “This is necessary. The attending doctor will be looking at the test results later to prescribe medicine.”
Gu Wencheng frowned and didn’t say anything. He threw the unlit cigarette into the trash can and returned to the ward. He gently took Meng Nianyao’s arm out of the blanket and rolled her clothes up to her elbow.
Meng Nianyao was very thin. Other than a thin layer of skin, there was only bone left on her arm. The nurse came forward and tied a tourniquet around her arm. When she patted the blood vessel, she didn’t dare to use any strength because Gu Wencheng was staring at her. Her hand trembled when she inserted the needle. Fortunately, she was very professional and found the blood vessel with one injection. Meng Nianyao only frowned when the needle was inserted and didn’t wake up.
After drawing the blood, the nurse quickly left.
At around seven o’clock, Ping Yang brought Sis Wang to the hospital. Gu Wencheng had a contract to sign today, so he changed his clothes at the hospital and went straight to the company.
Meng Nianyao woke up at around 10 am. As soon as she opened her eyes, Sis Wang noticed her and quickly asked, “Madam, you’re awake?”
Meng Nianyao was a little dazed from her sleep. After a while, she asked, “Where’s Gu Wencheng?”
“He went to the office.” When Sis Wang saw that Meng Nianyao was about to get up, she quickly reached out to help her up and placed a pillow behind her.
Meng Nianyao felt dizzy. “What time is it now?”
“It’s past ten.” Sis Wang took out a thermos and scooped out a bowl of porridge. “Madam, the doctor said that you should eat something light when you wake up, so I made some porridge.” She scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Meng Nianyao’s mouth.
Meng Nianyao’s mouth tasted bitter, and she had no appetite at all. She tilted her head and said, “I don’t want to eat.”
“How can you not eat?” Sis Wang looked worried. “You should eat at least a little.”
Meng Nianyao really couldn’t eat. Just the smell of the food made her feel nauseous. She covered her mouth and shook her head. “Sister Wang, I’m really not hungry. Take the porridge away first. 1 want to vomit when I smell it.” After saying that, she began to retch.
Sis Wang quickly went to get the trash can, but there was nothing in Meng Nianyao’s stomach. She could only dry heave.
After Meng Nianyao was done retching, the door to the ward was pushed open. Gu Wencheng walked in and saw tears in Meng Nianyao’s eyes, her face pale.. He immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
