Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 656: 655 Longing

Wen Ran simply tells Gu Kai exactly what Mo Zixuan had told her.

After listening to her, Gu Kai’s face darkened a bit. Deep in his dark eyes, a chilling chill was forming, but his voice remained calm and gentle, “Ranran, I got it.”

“Hmm, Fu Jingyi has always been erratic in his actions. If he has such intentions, he definitely won’t just leave it at words.”

Wen Ran was still somewhat worried.

Fu Jingyi had abducted her years ago and let her suffer for so many years. And now, he intended to harm the patients in the hospital.

The act was far beyond the description of a psychopath.

Fu Jingyi was challenging Gu Yan with everyone’s lives. She suddenly remembered something, “Brother, did you get those products I gave you last time tested?”

“Oh, not yet.”

Gu Kai didn’t take it to heart and tossed it in the drawer. These days, he was constantly worried about Mo Xiuchen’s illness.

“Never mind then, I gave some to Professor Li at the factory.”

Wen Ran calmly said.

After chatting for a while, Wen Ran yawned on the other end of the phone. Mo Xiuchen immediately frowned, signaling Gu Kai to stop chatting.

After hanging up the call, Gu Kai exhaled, and gently said, “Xiuchen, you’ve made the call. You should go take a bath and rest.”

“You’ll go back to City C tomorrow.”

Mo Xiuchen wasn’t asking for his opinion, his tone left no room for doubt.

Gu Kai frowned, “Are you worried about what Ranran said earlier? You really don’t need to worry about the hospital. I’ve instructed the deputy dean and all the department heads, and also specifically reminded about the security measures.”

Mo Xiuchen disagreed, “Ah Kai, whether you’re watching over me or not, I take my medication every day. With dad not being in the country, you’d better focus on the hospital. If something happens there, it won’t be a small problem.”

“After I take you to D Country and hand you over to my father, I’ll return to the hospital immediately. Fu Jingyi should be interested in your condition now and won’t take action against the hospital for the time being. To put it bluntly, even if I guard the hospital, I can’t guarantee anything if he is determined to harm the hospital.”

Gu Kai stared at Mo Xiuchen’s slightly pale handsome face, his voice somewhat rough, “Even if I’m being selfish, you’re more important than the hospital!”

He stayed with Mo Xiuchen these past few days. Although he couldn’t bear any part of his pain or alleviate his discomfort due to the unpredictable episodes, he could keep track of his latest condition, record everything, and immediately send all of it to D Country so his father would be kept informed.

Mo Xiuchen’s face fluctuated, his thin lips were tightly pressed.

Gu Kai gave him a pat on the shoulder, stood up, and went to take a bath.

Mo Xiuchen stood up as well, but the moment he rose to his feet, a wave of dizziness swept over him. He frowned and, unlike the previous two days, a dull pain spread from his frontal lobe area.

“Xiuchen, are you okay?”

Gu Kai, who had taken two steps away and saw this scene through the transparent glass, quickly returned to his side.

Mo Xiuchen slowly let go of the hand holding the sofa, and gave him a forced smile, “I’m fine, go take your bath.”

“You’re sure?”

Gu Kai looked at him uneasily, “Are you feeling dizzy again?”

Mo Xiuchen nodded, raising his right hand to touch his left frontal lobe, saying lightly, “It hurts a bit here.”

At his words, Gu Kai’s eyes darkened. He stretched out his hand to hold Mo Xiuchen’s, to take his pulse. Mo Xiuchen, accustomed to his anxiety, stood quietly.

“Ah Kai, book the flight. The day after tomorrow, I’m going to leave the country.”

After Gu Kai’s hand was released, Mo Xiuchen spoke before him.

Gu Kai gave him a cold glance, then pursed his lips, “It’s best if you can think it through.” The deterioration of his illness was beyond their imagination. It wasn’t noticeable in G City.

Only two days after arriving in City C, his complexion had noticeably turned pale.

His energy level was also not as good as usual, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. Perhaps this was also related to his workload of the past two days.

He was planning to work an extra shift today, so barring any accidents, by tomorrow, he would be able to gather the evidence against Liao Dongxing and Qin Sen.

Mo Xiuchen gave a slight smile, saying nonchalantly, “What is it that I can’t understand? You also said just now that Fu Jingyi is definitely interested in my condition currently. He may even show up in person to tell us the treatment method to prove that he is better than dad and Professor Brown.”

Gu Kai also laughed, although it was a cold smile, “Xiuchen, I hope your wish comes true.”

“It will!” Mo Xiuchen’s smile became even brighter, only it didn’t reach his eyes.

G City, suburban villa

After hanging up the phone with Gu Kai, Wen Ran didn’t put her phone down, but sat staring at her phone screen, lost in thought.

She felt a mix of anticipation and disappointment. It was so late, he probably wouldn’t call her again.

Thinking of this, her nose sourly tingled, a weight seemed to press upon her chest, making it difficult to breathe.

He had said on the phone the night before, he wouldn’t call her today, or tomorrow. Although she felt sad at the time, she deceived herself by thinking he was just teasing her.

But now, staring at that silent phone, she couldn’t describe her feelings of loneliness and isolation. She was missing just one person; how could she be this upset?

She had been on her own for more than twenty years prior, and she did just fine. After not even a year of being with him, she couldn’t even bear the longing for two days. How was she to manage the endless longing that had no end in sight?

She scrolled through her phone’s photo album. She stared at the man, handsome and smiling, standing on the branch of a cherry tree. The adoration in his eyes was warmer than the celestial sunlight, and sweeter than the fresh cherries.

But now, those eyes were only fixed on her in the photos.

Her delicate fingers lightly brushed over his smiling face. Her vision unwittingly became blurry. She softly called his name, her heart heavy with sorrow, “Xiuchen, I miss you terribly.”

I really miss him… terribly…

The tears filled her eyes, and unknowingly slid down her cheeks, falling directly onto the phone screen. The drops spread swiftly over the tempered glass.

The handsome man in the photo became increasingly blurry in her view. As she looked at the fuzzy image, a sudden piercing pain hit her heart. A certain vision flashed in her mind; her face turned pale, her hand trembling, as she frantically wiped away her tears, then dried the wet spots on the phone screen with her sleeve.

Finally, the blurry face became clear again, handsome and captivating.

She exhaled a huge sigh of relief, set the photo as her screensaver, brought the phone to her mouth, and gave it a soft kiss on the screen. She smiled gently, whispering, “Xiuchen, if I pretend I don’t know, will you return sooner?”
