Chapter 418 - : Probing

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Probing

I stayed in the hospital for six days!

In these six days, Gu Yuanzhou came almost every day.

It just so happened that he arrived at such coincidental times, each instance perfectly avoiding Wenya and Jian Jing.

I actually never figured out how he managed to do that.

Every time Jian Jing and Wenya came, they would talk about various things, but the one topic they never discussed was Gu Yuanzhou.

This seemed to confirm that they hadn’t seen Gu Yuanzhou.

But in my heart, I was still full of anticipation.

After my eyes recovered, I would be able to see Gu Yuanzhou.

Or maybe, he would be waiting here for me.

The day they removed the gauze, Ding Yinuo personally handled it…

I hadn’t actually anticipated that he, after being so dismissive of me these few days, would still come to remove my gauze.

He stood in front of me, peeling off the layers of gauze one by one.

I felt the light in front of me become brighter and brighter.

Until he tore off the last layer, I couldn’t take it and covered my eyes with my hands.

“Ayun, can you see me?”

Wenya leaned close to me, waving her hands frantically.

I slowly took my hands away from my eyes, first seeing a blurry shadow; I blinked, my eyes moistened a bit, and slowly my vision became clear and bright.

The first thing I saw was Wenya’s big face, blinking her eyes, a smile revealing a few freckles.

“Uh, don’t lean so close, I can see!”

“Can you see? How many fingers are these?”

She waved her big hand frantically in front of me.

“Five!”

“Wow, you really can see!”

Wenya was so excited, she almost wanted to pick me up and jump.

I have to say, the surgery was very successful.

My vision was very clear, seeing things without any obstacles…

“Let me see your eyes! Does it still hurt?”

Jian Jing held my face with both hands, inspecting it from the left and right, looking for any unhealed wounds.

“It doesn’t hurt! Not at all, Jian Jing, can you give me a mirror to see for myself?”

“There’s no mirror, use your phone’s front camera.”

Jian Jing turned on her phone’s camera and handed it to me.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw that I had lost quite a bit of weight, but luckily, my hair was neatly combed, skin was clean, and my complexion was rosy.

All this was thanks to Gu Yuanzhou; he came every night to take care of me, helping me to wash my hair and clean my face and body.

Just like when he took care of me during my postpartum confinement, attending to me meticulously.

He also prepared all sorts of nourishing stews for me, so my complete recovery was inseparable from his attentive care.

I have to say, Ding Yinuo’s surgery was done very meticulously, no surgical scar was visible at all.

With this thought, I saw, through the phone’s camera, another figure slightly forlorn in the corner.

He was sitting there, a cigarette in his hand, watching me with a detached gaze.

Silent and a bit sinister.

It was Ding Yinuo.

What was that look in his eyes? Sinister, hostile, dangerous?

Why would he react like that, could it be that Jiang Jiaying still hadn’t been released?

“Xiaoyun, can you see me?”

An excited, trembling voice rose; I turned to look and saw a figure standing at the doorway of the ward.

His hair carelessly combed backwards into a pompadour, wearing a sharp black suit, he held a beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands.

The smile on his face was excited and radiant.

“Xiaoyun!”

His voice trembled slightly with excitement as he called out to me again.

“Hmm, Yishu, you’re here?”

“Can you walk over to me?”

“Of course!”

I smiled and easily walked over to him in a few steps.

He suddenly opened his arms and pulled me into an embrace, holding me tightly. He didn’t speak, but I could feel his body trembling slightly.

Tears also started to flow.

“Hey, Yishu, why are you crying? Such a big man, and shedding tears?”

“Sorry, I got a bit carried away. I’m just so excited, I thought you were never going to get better. Xiaoyun, I am truly happy for you, this is so great.”

Yishu was genuinely elated, he hugged me and spun me around on the spot.

Then he finally stuffed the fresh flowers into my arms.

“You’re discharged from the hospital, right? So, where do you want to go, what do you want to eat, or do you want to see a movie? There’s this new touching animated movie that has just come out, shall we watch it together?”

Yishu excitedly babbled, spouting a bunch of plans in the heat of the moment.

It was Ding Yinuo who interrupted him,

“You’ve just recovered, you shouldn’t just run around everywhere. You need to rest properly!”

A few short words.

They sounded like concern, but they were tinged with indifference.

Wenya seemed to catch on to something. She was rather composed, and she changed her previous attitude.

Wenya walked up to Ding Yinuo very politely,

“Ding Yinuo, it seems I misunderstood you before, thank you for your sincere efforts for Ayun. I apologize for the uncivil words I have said to you in the past.”

Ding Yinuo just gave Wenya a cold glance,

“I don’t accept it!”

“Uh, if you don’t accept, then don’t. Anyway, I was sincere. So, about the eye care for Ayun going forward, are there any special measures we need to take? Will there be any sequelae?”

Ding Yinuo took a deep drag on his cigarette, then stood up, opened the window, and looked out, his back to Wenya, without saying a word.

Wenya didn’t know where she had offended him, but she continued to press on,

“Dr. Ding, we have just recovered, are there any precautions we should be aware of? Like things to eat, or things to be cautious about like bathing, touching water, etc.?”

Ding Yinuo just snorted coldly,

“You have too many questions!”

“Hey!”

Wenya was furious but didn’t dare to speak out since Ding Yinuo had cured me and was, after all, someone to be grateful for.

Wenya was still able to discern right from wrong, she chuckled sheepishly,

“Fine, fine, I won’t ask anymore. I’ll ask someone else.”

That was her flirting gone wrong.

Jian Jing, mustering courage from somewhere, confronted Ding Yinuo directly,

“Hey, Ding Yinuo, I know it’s not right for me to say these things. But you owe Ayun a lot, and although you cured her eyes, it only makes us even. You have no grounds to be proud, and as a doctor, isn’t it part of your professional ethics to treat patients kindly and be responsible?”

At those words, Ding Yinuo abruptly turned around, his eyes, bloodshot, fixed on me,

“She doesn’t deserve my kindness!”

“Uh, what do you mean she doesn’t deserve it? Ding Yinuo, can you please not speak so outrageously?”

“Am I being outrageous? The outrageous one is her. She kidnapped my fiancée. She asked me to cure her eyes, and now that I’ve done so, she still hasn’t released my fiancée. What is the meaning of this?”

“What?”

Jian Jing was also shocked.

Suddenly, the ward fell into an awkward silence.

I walked up to Ding Yinuo, initially wanting to say that I definitely didn’t kidnap Jiang Jiaying.

But just then, a doctor came rushing in, “Dr. Ding, Miss Jiaying has come back!”

Ding Yinuo, thrilled, stubbed out his cigarette and a glimmer of delight shone in his eyes. He dashed out almost without hesitation, practically flying through the door.

He grabbed the doctor’s arm, “Where is she?”

“In the emergency room, she’s sustained some injuries, and she said she wants to see you!”

“Right, I’m on my way!”
