Chapter 160 Deep Affection and Ruthlessness
Chapter 160 Deep Affection and Ruthlessness
Gu Errong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"The director of the county hospital just called me and said she cut her wrists."
Jiang Yan did not live in the staff dormitory.
She bought a two-bedroom apartment near the Water and Electricity Bureau.
She was generous and enthusiastic, and soon became friends with her neighbors.
The neighbor is an old lady living alone. Her husband has passed away and her son works in another province.
The old lady treated Jiang Yan very well and would always send some of the delicious food she made to Jiang Yan.
Tonight, she made rice cakes, and after she delivered them to Jiang Yan, she discovered that she had cut her wrists in the bedroom.
The old lady quickly called for help and sent Jiang Yan to the hospital.
After hearing what Liu Nianqing said, Gu Errong suddenly felt his heart beating wildly and even his breathing became difficult.
He looked at Liu Nianqing in disbelief and said, "No, that's impossible. She was fine just now. How could it be possible? How could it be possible..."
Liu Nianqing patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the hospital first."
On the way, Liu Nianqing said, "Do you know why I called you over?"
Gu Errong vaguely felt that Liu Nianqing might know what happened between him and Jiang Yan, but he still shook his head.
"I've always known that she joined our bureau because of you. I told you before that she was specially recruited. If we strictly follow the recruitment standards, she doesn't actually meet the requirements.
But her background is indeed strong. I remember telling you before that it was the county magistrate who introduced her.”
Liu Nianqing paused and said, "I know that if you stay in the same department for a long time, it is inevitable that something will go wrong, but I really can't do anything about it.
I heard from the dean that when she was sent to the hospital, she was holding a thick notebook with your name written all over it. They found me through the clues in the notebook. "
Gu Errong's throat was dry and he wanted to say something but in the end he said nothing.
Arriving at the hospital entrance, Liu Nianqing bought some fruit and said, "Let's go in."
Entering the emergency room area, a row of simple benches were filled with patients and their accompanying family members.
Their expressions were either anxious or numb.
From time to time, a nurse would hurry by, clutching medical records or first aid supplies.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant mixed with medicine.
They walked to a single room at the end of the corridor.
The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Jiang Yan was lying on an old bed, receiving an IV.
Her face was pale, and her hands were wrapped in thick gauze, with bloodstains faintly visible on the gauze.
She was awake, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Hearing the door open, he didn't move.
"Jiang Yan." Liu Nianqing walked over, put the fruit on the table, and said, "Errong and I came to see you. Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Yan didn't say anything.
Liu Nianqing glanced at Gu Errong and said, "Would you like some water? Let Errong pour you some."
Gu Errong was about to pour some water when Jiang Yan said, "Don't bother. I don't want to drink."
The voice was not loud and the tone was very calm.
Liu Nianqing sighed and said, "Alas, you are so young, why do you do such a stupid thing?"
Jiang Yan turned her face away.
At this time, the doctor came in.
The doctor was a well-built middle-aged man wearing large-framed glasses and a slicked-back hair, holding several reports in his hands.
“Are you family members?”
Liu Nianqing shook his head and said, "Colleague."
The doctor took out a pen from the pocket of his white coat, circled and said, "There are no problems with the blood test and electrocardiogram. We will do a hand flexion and extension function test tomorrow. If it is normal, you can be discharged the day after tomorrow."
"The patient is not in a normal mood, and her family has not been contacted yet. You'd better arrange for her best colleague to accompany her for the next two days."
The hospital said this and left.
Liu Nianqing glanced at Gu Errong.
Gu Errong nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days. Don't worry about the work for now. I will arrange for Yuanhang to help you."
Gu Errong nodded again.
"Okay then. I'll go back to the bureau first. Remember to call me if you have anything."
Liu Nianqing said to Jiang Yan again: "Well, Jiang Yan, you should have a good rest these two days. If you have any problem, just tell Errong. We all hope that you will get better soon."
After Liu Nianqing left, Gu Errong felt even more uneasy.
He didn't know what to say.
But deep down, he felt that he had to be responsible.
He stood by the window for a while, turned around and said, "You, do you want some water?"
Jiang Yan shook her head.
"Then I'll wash an apple for you."
As he said that, he walked over and opened the bag of fruit.
"I don't want to eat, can you chat with me for a while?"
Gu Errong nodded and sat down on the chair.
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "How can we chat if you sit so far away?"
Gu Errong moved forward again.
"Errong, do you hate me?"
Gu Errong was stunned, shook his head, and said, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"I hate myself." Jiang Yan said slowly, "You have clearly explained it, but I am still so stubborn."
Gu Errong felt very uncomfortable. He really wanted her to stop talking about relationships, but he was afraid of irritating her, so he didn't say anything.
"Errong." Jiang Yan looked at him affectionately, "Can you sing "The Wind Continues to Blow" again?"
"Ok?"
"The first time I saw you was in the army, at a cultural performance evening, and you sang this song at that time."
“Can you sing it again?”
Gu Errong couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded and sang in a low voice:
"I advise you to go back early
You said you didn't want to go home
Just let me hold you
The sea breeze blows gently
Cooling down wildfires
I saw you were sad..."
Gu Errong's magnetic and deep voice lingered in the ward.
Perhaps because the song itself was filled with sadness, Jiang Yan could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.
Gu Errong paused and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Yan shook her head, slowly stopped crying, and said, "Errong, I plan to leave."
"Where?"
"I want to go back. I miss my parents."
Gu Errong nodded and said seriously: "Go back, go back to your world and live a good life."
Jiang Yan felt sad again.
She thought he would stay.
As long as he asked her to stay, she would stay without hesitation, in this unfamiliar place.
It seems that she really has to go.
She turned her head away and whispered, "Will you remember me?"
Gu Errong's heart softened, he sighed, and said: "Jiang Yan, you will meet a very good person, you will start a family with him, and have children. You will be happy for the rest of your life."
"I see." Jiang Yan pointed to the drawer and said, "There is a notebook in it. I have kept it for more than seven years. I'll leave it to you as a souvenir."
Gu Errong took it out and saw that it was an exquisite pink soft cover diary.
You don't need to read it to know what's written in it.
He put the notebook back and said, "I'm sorry, it's not appropriate for me to keep this. When you get better, let's have a meal together as a farewell."
