Chapter 414: Chapter 414: You’re Making It Hurt for Me
 

After that door closed, the operating room became eerily quiet.

The air was thick with the scent of disinfectant.

I lay on the cold operating table, a chill creeping up my spine; I softly called out.

“Yinuo? Is that you?”

I couldn’t see his figure, yet I could feel that chill approaching.

It wasn’t a kindly approach but rather a dangerously threatening presence, and I instinctively recoiled.

“Ding Yinuo, what are you going to do?”

Next, his figure slowly bent over me, his hand gripping my chin.

“I never thought you could be so repulsive?”

“I’ve never seen a woman with schemes as deeply ingrained as yours!”

“I will do as you wish, but from now on, I will not let you off the hook.”

Ding Yinuo was filled with malice.

I could understand the disgust, rejection, and even a hint of anxiety in his words.

But I didn’t understand why he treated me this way!

All the joy I had was now at rock bottom, plunging my mood into the utmost gloom.

I could distinctly feel that he was extremely reluctant to perform this surgery on me.

As if he was forced to do so.

I wanted to ask something more, but he had no interest in speaking to me any longer; he shouted out to someone outside,

“Anesthesiologist, medicate her first!”

After the anesthesia was administered, I immediately fell asleep.

It’s unclear how much time had passed when I gradually regained consciousness.

But the surgery was still going on…

For some reason, perhaps the dose of the anesthetic wasn’t enough, I began to feel pain.

“Ding Yinuo, it hurts so much!”

I couldn’t help but cry out.

The nerves in the eye area are abundant, making the perception of pain very sharp.

Therefore, such pain was unbearable, and I could only remind him.

My hope was that he might give me more anesthesia.

Unexpectedly, his response was a cold refusal, “Endure it!”

I couldn’t bear it!

It was too painful!

I started squirming.

Ding Yinuo then commanded the doctors beside him,

“Hold her hands down, do not let her move about.”

“Ding Yinuo, give me more anesthesia. It hurts like hell the way you’re doing it.”

“I told you, endure it. If you don’t want to go blind, hold still, what’s with the fuss?”

“Ding Yinuo, are you sick in the head, are you doing this on purpose?”

I just couldn’t hold back any longer; the pain made me lose all rationality, and I started cursing at him.

The operating room was filled with my curses.

The latter half of the surgery was almost unbearable.

The more I cursed, the more painfully he seemed to work…

The more it hurt, the longer the surgery seemed to last.

The latter half felt like an eternity.

When the surgery finally ended, I genuinely harbored murderous thoughts against Ding Yinuo.

I had cursed at him for half an hour; it was as if the operating room still echoed with my cursing and shouting.

After the surgery, he gave me an injection, and I fell back into a groggy sleep.

When I woke up again,

It was already well into the night.

My eyes were still somewhat painful, not the piercing kind but the pain of healing wounds post-surgery.

As long as I didn’t move, it wasn’t so painful.

I was terribly thirsty and vaguely sensed someone beside me; I called out,

“Jian Jing, could you pass me a glass of water?”

I knew that at times like this, Jian Yan was the only one who would take care of me.

Soon, a glass of water was handed to me, and I drank it down in one gulp.

“Jian Jing, what on earth did you do to get Ding Yinuo to agree to operate on me? However, that bastard was devilish, deliberately making things hard for me on the operating table. I almost died of pain.”

“Does it still hurt now?”

The low and magnetic male voice wasn’t Jian Jing’s.

“Gu Yuanzhou!?”

“It’s me!!”

“Why is it you?”

“Why can’t it be me?”

“Where is Jian Jing?”

“Not sure, she might have something to do!”

“Gu Yuanzhou! Gu Yuanzhou! Gu Yuanzhou!!!”

I murmured his name in my mouth, and he patiently responded, “Hmm!”

“Gu Yuanzhou! Uh…”

“Do your eyes still hurt?”

“A little bit, but with you by my side, it doesn’t hurt so much anymore!”

“Am I better than the effect of anesthesia?”

“Yes, you’re better than a feast of delicacies!”

“I have a pill here, take it, and you’ll feel much better!”

He brought the pill to my lips, I bit it with my teeth but did not swallow it, then I spat it into the palm of my hand.

“Why not take it? Are you afraid I might harm you?”

“Will I fall asleep if I take this medicine?”

“Anesthetic drugs always have some sleep-inducing ingredients! Take it and have a sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll be better.”

“But if I sleep, you’re going to leave, aren’t you?”

I held his hand tightly, gripping it firmly.

When people are sick, their hearts are particularly vulnerable, and they have a strong dependency on the person beside them, I didn’t want Gu Yuanzhou to leave me.

Even if he was just an illusory bubble, I couldn’t bear to let go.

He whispered to comfort me, just like in that period of passionate love after we got married,

“Not at all! I promise you, even if you fall asleep, I won’t leave you.”

“Really?”

“I swear to you! If I break even half a promise, let lightning strike me!”

“No, I believe you!”

I pressed my hand against his lips, stopping him from saying another word.

But he opened his mouth and gently kissed the tip of my finger, a man’s breath bursting forth from the fingertip.

That familiar warmth made my heart tighten.

“Gu Yuanzhou!”

I asked him again.

“Hmm?”

“Is it really you?”

“Didn’t I just swear?”

“I just want to hear you say it again!”

“It’s me, wife!”

“Okay, I’ll take the medicine!”

Having received the affirmation again, I was satisfied.

I stuffed the pill into my mouth and drank some water to wash it down, after which the pain gradually disappeared.

I lay in the hospital bed, he leaned over slightly, holding my hand tightly with one large hand, while the other gently stroked my hair.

His warm breath puffed on my forehead.

He gently kissed me.

Although I couldn’t see with my eyes, I felt utterly content in my heart.

“Ayun, go to sleep, I’ve got everything under control!”

“Gu Yuanzhou, you’re still alive, aren’t you? You haven’t died, have you?”

“Don’t your eyes hurt anymore?”

“Tell me, where are you living now? You don’t have a contact number, and I don’t want to be unable to find you like before, I want to be able to get in touch with you anytime.”

“I’ll tell you once your eyes are better.”

“Gu Yuanzhou, you have a hidden reason, don’t you? That urn doesn’t contain your ashes, does it?”

“Be good, go to sleep, and you’ll be fine after you do.”

I asked many questions, but Gu Yuanzhou never answered them directly.

My eyes no longer hurt, but sleepiness gradually overtook me, and I drifted off into a groggy sleep.
