Chapter 730: Blood on the Ground
"Since they’re old wounds, I don’t need to change your dressing, right?" She glanced at the time, "I should be going back!"
Upon hearing this, the man tightened his embrace.
"Let go of me..."
"Hmph..." He let out a dissatisfied grunt.
"I... I’ll come change your dressing whenever I can, okay?" she said softly, "Over at Gu Qingqian’s... I promised to look after him until he’s discharged. I came over while he was asleep; he should be waking up soon."
"You can go back, but you must not have any feelings for him." His eyes burned into hers, "Not even a little."
Mu Yiliang nodded helplessly, "I promise you."
Only then did he release her, yet he still unwillingly caressed her cheek.
Mu Yiliang found herself somewhat reluctant too.
But... she really had to go back.
"Rest well, and be good when you’re on a drip—leave work to your subordinates for now." Mu Yiliang advised with a hint of worry, "I’ll make an extra dinner and have it sent to you... your dietary restrictions should be similar to Gu Qingqian’s, right?"
He was discontented, "I’m just an afterthought then?"
"Yes, you’re just an afterthought." She said with a beaming smile.
...
Mu Yiliang hurriedly rushed back to Gu Qingqian’s hospital room.
More than an hour had passed; hopefully, he hadn’t woken up. She only intended to check on Yan Sijue, but who knew the man would be so shameless, tormenting her for so long.
She pushed open the hospital room door, finding Gu Qingqian still lying motionless in bed, seemingly not yet awake.
Mu Yiliang sighed in relief, slowing her steps as she walked over, but soon she sensed something amiss.
It seemed... the air was filled with the scent of blood, and the closer she got, the stronger the scent...
Suddenly, Mu Yiliang had a terrible premonition!
"Gu Qingqian!" She couldn’t help but shout.
However, the person on the bed remained still!
Mu Yiliang felt her heart leap into her throat! She walked to the other side of the bed, seeing a pool of blood on the floor, Gu Qingqian’s left hand dangling down, the wound on his wrist so clear, and blood still dripping from it!
She suddenly felt a chill all over, as if the blood in her veins was being drained dry!
"Gu... Gu Qingqian! Gu Qingqian!" She threw herself over, frantically shaking his body, but he lay there unresponsive, his face devoid of color, his body ice-cold!
She felt as if her heart was about to stop! Trembling, she pressed the call button, almost choking with tears, "Someone... get someone here!"
The fruit knife in the pool of blood stabbed at her gaze!
He... he actually tried to kill himself?
He actually attempted suicide!
Mu Yiliang felt the world spinning around her!
...
Mu Yiliang sat outside the emergency room, as if she had lost all sense of feeling.
Upon receiving the news, Gu Benhong rushed over! He seemed on the brink of collapse!
"How could this happen... why would Ah Qian attempt suicide!" His whole body trembled, "What on earth happened... what did you say to him?"
All of Gu Benhong’s hatred pointed towards Mu Yiliang!
Mu Yiliang still sat there blankly, as if she didn’t register his words at all.
Gu Qingqian had actually attempted suicide.
He actually chose to end his life.
Lying there alone, he seized the opportunity when no one was in the room, using that fruit knife to slit his wrist, not uttering a single cry of pain, making no sound at all, just quietly watching his life force bleed away bit by bit...
