Chapter 188 Wanting to Leave Her with Beautiful Memories
Tan Zhengchu lay on the bed, forcing his eyes open.
He waited quietly in the darkness for news from Lin Quan, hoping for a glimmer of hope.
The hospital room was dimly lit.
As Tan Zhengchu listened to Su Yingxue's even breathing, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and drowsiness surged over him like a tidal wave.
But a voice inside him screamed, "I can't sleep, I absolutely can't sleep."
So he reached out and pressed the call button by the bedside.
A short while later, Lin Quan arrived in a hurry with several nurses.
They walked briskly, each carrying a tray steadily in their hands.
Lin Quan walked to the bedside, his brows furrowed.
Looking at the medicine on the tray, he said to Tan Zhengchu with a serious expression, "Zhengchu, this medicine cannot be used indiscriminately. It has serious side effects. Are you really sure?"
Tan Zhengchu's eyes were firm, his gaze fixed on the medicine, and he spoke without hesitation:
Lin Quan, I've made up my mind. As long as I have the strength to spend this month with Yingxue, I can endure any side effects.
Look at my body now, I'm so weak I could be blown away by a gust of wind.
I didn't want her to see me looking sickly all the time; I wanted to leave her with some beautiful memories.
Lin Quan nodded slightly, his eyes full of understanding.
But still worried, he added, "I understand how you feel, Zhengchu. Since you've made up your mind, I support you."
But let's make this clear: in twenty-five days, no matter what, you must come back for treatment. There can be no delay.
"In these twenty-five days, I will fight tooth and nail to develop a solution to eradicate the virus."
Tan Zhengchu smiled faintly.
He reached out and patted Lin Quan on the shoulder: "Lin Quan, I trust you. Based on our friendship of so many years, I would entrust my life to you without hesitation. I will definitely be back on time in twenty-five days."
Lin Quan turned to the side and winked at the nurses behind him, signaling that they could begin the injections.
The drug looked like a sedative. Tan Zhengchu knew that this injection would temporarily give him strength and make him sober.
However, once the effects of the medicine wear off, the body's weakness will only worsen.
The nurses rushed forward, moving with extreme care as they carefully inserted the needle into Tan Zhengchu's vein.
Every step was taken with utmost care, for fear that the wound would bleed uncontrollably.
After the injection, Tan Zhengchu moved his arm.
There were no unusual sensations for the time being, but the wound was rapidly aging.
Lin Quan stepped forward and looked at Tan Zhengchu seriously again: "Zhengchu, you must remember that in twenty-five days, physical discomfort will come over you like a tidal wave. Those who go down there must come back on time."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Lin Quan, I know what I'm doing."
At this moment, the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.
His mind was filled with the wonderful time he would spend with Su Yingxue, and he was full of anticipation.
Lin Quan stood aside, quietly watching Tan Zhengchu, his heart filled with sorrow.
In the past, if Tan Zhengchu had encountered such a situation, he would have definitely talked about revenge.
But now, he is very calm and hasn't mentioned it at all, as if all the hatred has vanished.
Tan Zhengchu noticed Lin Quan's gaze, turned to look at him, and raised an eyebrow: "What, you don't like me?"
Lin Quan smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just that I feel you've changed. The old you wouldn't have let go of someone who schemed against you so easily."
Tan Zhengchu looked tenderly at Su Yingxue, who was still fast asleep, and said softly, "Things are different now. I just want to stay with Yingxue. I can't worry about anything else for now."
As he spoke, he deliberately turned to the side, using his body to block the view of others and prevent outsiders from seeing Su Yingxue's sleeping face.
Its stingy yet cautious way of protecting it was just like a dragon guarding a precious treasure.
After settling Su Yingxue in, Tan Zhengchu was also exhausted.
Tan Zhengchu leaned against Su Yingxue and slowly closed his eyes.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Lin Quan coughed lightly and said, "Zhengchu, about Wei Hao's matter..."
Tan Zhengchu didn't even lift his eyelids, his voice calm yet firm: "Lin Quan, I know what you're thinking. Just go ahead and do it. You decide how to handle it. I don't want this to make things difficult for everyone. You have your reasons, and I trust you."
Lin Quan paused slightly, staring intently at Tan Zhengchu, and asked softly, "Zhengchu, he's the culprit who caused you to become like this, don't you really resent him?"
Tan Zhengchu gave a bitter smile: "What's the use of complaining? All I want to do now is stay with Yingxue and live out the rest of my days in peace. My brothers are worried about me, and Yingxue is anxious about me. I can't cause any more trouble. I trust you with Weihao."
Hearing this, Lin Quan's eyes gradually warmed, and he felt even more respect for Tan Zhengchu's character.
He knew all too well that Tan Zhengchu had suffered so much because Wei Hao had given him this deadly virus.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be furious and try every means to torment Wei Hao.
But Tan Zhengchu was so rational, taking everyone's difficulties into consideration.
Lin Quan nodded silently, turned and walked towards the door, gently closing it behind him.
Just as the door was about to close, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that Tan Zhengchu was holding Su Yingxue tightly in his arms, as if afraid she would run away.
Lin Quan felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart and secretly vowed: Zheng Chu, don't worry, I'll take care of what happens next.
A resolute determination flashed in his eyes, as if he already had a plan.
In the ward, Tan Zhengchu held Su Yingxue in his arms, his heart filled with longing.
He thought that in the days to come, he would definitely take Yingxue to do the things they had always wanted to do but hadn't yet.
Go see the sea, stroll through the mountains and forests, and sample all the street food...
He wanted to etch every beautiful moment into the rest of their lives.
Because she was the person he cherished most in his life, and his only remaining hope for the future.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the thin curtains into the ward, bringing a touch of warmth.
Su Yingxue slowly woke up and subconsciously reached out to touch the side, but found nothing.
The spot where Tan Zhengchu had been lying was now cold and lifeless.
Her eyes widened instantly, and she began to search the ward with anxious eyes.
My heart skipped a beat and jumped into my throat, filled with worry for Tan Zhengchu's safety.
Just then, the bathroom door creaked open.
Tan Zhengchu walked out looking refreshed, his hair still slightly damp.
He looked exceptionally energetic, and his well-dressed clothes further accentuated his handsomeness.
Su Yingxue's eyes lit up, both surprised and delighted, and she hurriedly said, "Zhengchu, where did you go? I was so scared when I opened my eyes and didn't see you."
Tan Zhengchu walked a few steps to the bedside and slowly sat down.
He reached out and gently pinched Su Yingxue's cheek, a smile playing on his lips: "Where could I go? Just to take a shower. Look how nervous you are."
Su Yingxue sat up, looked at him carefully, her eyes full of surprise: "Zhengchu, you look much better today. Is your body slowly recovering?"
Her words were full of anticipation, as if she were praying to God that this good fortune would continue to favor them and that they would soon be free from the torment of illness.
