CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 281: CAN’T FIND HIM (1)

When Yuan Shen lifted the curtain and walked in, Gu Ningyi was lying on the bed, his dark eyes slightly open with a trace of confusion, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

The anxiety in Yuan Shen’s heart finally eased a little, but then a surge of anger rose sharply, and he glared at him fiercely, shouting, "You little brat, are you crazy? Is there nothing better for you to do than to gamble with your life?"

Gu Ningyi seemed not to have heard his words at all, just staring fixedly at the ceiling. His dark eyes blinked slowly several times, and then his brow gradually furrowed.

In front of his eyes, although it was not entirely black, his vision lacked focus and was very blurry. No matter how hard he tried to open his eyes wide to see, he couldn’t clearly make out the things in front of him.

This situation was not unfamiliar to him, in fact, it was all too familiar... so familiar that it made his heart pound with concern.

He originally thought he would never experience this feeling again in his lifetime, yet unexpectedly, it had returned just like this...

Was his eyesight going to fail again?

So, the last time it was because of Dong Xin Yan’s blindness, and this time it had relapsed again because of her?

Yuan Shen shouted several times before noticing something was wrong with Gu Ningyi. His eyes sharpened, and his voice immediately sank, "Yi, are you alright? Your eyes...?"

As he spoke, Yuan Shen stretched out his hand to wave it tentatively in front of Gu Ningyi’s eyes, "Yi, can you see my hand?"

Gu Ningyi still did not speak, and Yuan Shen widened his eyes in terror, quickly shouting, "Uncle He!"

Doctor He came up from behind and began to examine Gu Ningyi. Yuan Shen stepped aside, staring at Gu Ningyi with a grave expression, his heart feeling as if it had been plunged into a pot of oil, undergoing various kinds of anguish and torment.

The ten-odd minutes of examination felt like several centuries.

When Doctor He finished examining, Yuan Shen hastily asked, "Uncle He, how is it?"

"A blessing in disguise." Uncle He exhaled lightly, and said to Yuan Shen, "This time it was triggered by an old injury, causing blurred vision and inability to focus, but it should be temporary. With proper care, it should recover in a few days. However, during this period, he must recuperate quietly, and there must be no further incidents, or it’s very likely he could become blind again."

When Dong Xin Yan returned to the villa entrance, she was nearly frozen, her body cold and stiff, her feet almost unable to move.

She slowly lifted her head, looking at the dark villa, yet her heart gradually calmed down.

Fortunately, Gu Ningyi had not returned, otherwise, she did not know how she would muster the energy to face him on such a night.

Her fingers were so numb from the cold that it took her quite a while to open the door with the key, and as soon as she entered, a wave of warmth greeted her. She stood at the entrance for a long time, her body just started to warm up slightly.

However, although her body was warm, her heart remained as if it was soaked in an icy lake, cold enough to make her shiver uncontrollably.

After taking off her high heels and coat, Dong Xin Yan returned to her room and directly walked into the bathroom. She didn’t fill the bathtub with water but instead grabbed the showerhead and turned the hot water on, directing it forcefully at her heart.

She didn’t know how long she stood there, until her whole body was red and stinging from the hot water, before she suddenly let go of the showerhead.

There is nothing to be sad or sorrowful about. Haven’t she endured through even more painful and difficult days?
