Chapter 921 - 924: Fool, I Never Thought of Leaving You 15

"Gradually, he is becoming paralyzed in his limbs and his actions become obstructed."

"For instance, when walking, he might fall down without any reason, his bodily strength greatly diminished; like when holding something, suddenly unable to grip it, even if it is just a toothbrush."

He paused for a moment, reined in his emotions, and continued: "Like trying to embrace someone, only to suddenly find oneself without the strength to do so, helpless but to watch her fall, incapable of doing anything."

"For instance, while driving, suddenly realizing that one can’t step on the brakes, thus no longer daring to drive personally."

"Gradually, a wheelchair will replace his legs, and he will need to rely on others to feed him."

"The condition intensifies to having difficulties in swallowing, atrophy of the tongue root, loss of speech abilities, even calling out the name of a loved one becomes a luxury... Until finally, even the most basic finger movements are impossible, needing assistance for washing face, dressing, eating, sleeping, even urination and defecation, like a plant person who can still talk and think... Eventually, the condition affects breathing, relying on a ventilator to replace normal breathing, to enhance lung ventilation, prolonging life."

"There is a very vivid term to describe this disease, called ’frozen person.’"

Gu Shaocheng averted his gaze, staring at Chenxing’s pale cheeks: "This is an extremely terrifying disease, also known as super cancer, currently incurable."

Chenxing bit her lips tightly, not even daring to breathe.

Her whole demeanor showed she was excessively frightened.

At this moment, the feelings of Gu Shaocheng were indescribable; he wished he could have kept it from her, but she had inadvertently discovered his condition; he also longed to tell her of his illness, so he no longer had to agonize over the decision—to keep her or to leave her.

Now, he had to throw this massive dilemma at her, letting her make the decision by herself.

Chenxing stood in this vast control room, trembling uncontrollably as she listened to Shaocheng’s words.

Gu Shaocheng watched her, silently observing.

Suddenly, he felt like he was the most cruel man in the world, wondering why he had to tell her all this, why he had to make her bear the pain that even he couldn’t endure.

Outside, the sunshine was bright, and the world outside was beautiful.

She should be living under a sky full of sunshine and happiness, fully enjoying her beautiful life at twenty, carefree, laughing and happy, casually planting flowers and watering them.

Why did he bring her to this place filled with despair?

At that moment, he grabbed her hand again, pulled her close; Chenxing looked up, her eyes filled with tears.

The look in her eyes, sparkling with sympathy and pity, stabbed at his heart.

The next second, he walked briskly away from there with her.

Due to his long strides, she could hardly keep up with his pace.

Chenxing jogged, led by him, out of the long, quiet corridor, towards the staircase.

Thump, thump, thump.

Thump, thump, thump.

Because it was so quiet, the sound of footsteps was very loud.

Accidentally, she cried out as she missed a step and nearly fell down the stairs, but luckily, a pair of arms firmly secured her, preventing her sliding body from collapsing again.

His movements were gentle, having slowed his pace.

They walked from the second floor to the first floor, and then out of the building.

Both of them set their gaze forward, no longer paying attention to the men and women in the yard.

The two walked quite a distance before Chenxing still felt breathless; soon after, her hand was released, and Gu Shaocheng strode ahead, not out of anger at her, but furious at himself!
