To seduce her

The night that day seemed to come quickly and suddenly, plunging the entire city into darkness.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight filtered through the sparse treetops of the sanatorium, casting mottled shadows.

Gao Yuchuan's steps were hurried and heavy, and his breathing seemed particularly rapid in the hot and humid air. He walked through the silent corridor of the sanatorium, and every step seemed to be on his heart, carrying an unspeakable heaviness.

Gao Yuchuan's heart was beating rapidly in his chest, as if it was about to burst out of his body. Every beat reminded him that the woman he loved deeply was still lying in the intensive care unit, her life or death uncertain.

He hurried back to the hospital and stopped in front of the glass window of the intensive care unit.

Through the transparent glass, Gao Yuchuan saw Shen Yaochu lying on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Shen Yaochu's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen into an endless sleep.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was experiencing endless pain and struggle in her dream.

Looking at Shen Yaochu's tightly pursed lips, which no longer had the usual rosy and rosy color, Gao Yuchuan's heart felt as if it was being tightened, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.

He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch that fragile yet strong life, but the cold glass separated him from Shen Yaochu.

His fingers slid lightly across the glass, leaving blurry marks, just like his mood at the moment, messy and helpless.

"Mr. Gao."

A familiar voice came, interrupting Gao Yuchuan's thoughts and breaking the heavy silence.

Assistant Fang walked up to Gao Yuchuan. Although Gao Yuchuan did not turn around, he knew that Gao Yuchuan could hear him.

Through Gao Yuchuan's profile, Assistant Fang clearly saw that Gao Yuchuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he stared at Shen Yaochu - worry, heartache, powerlessness and determination...

At this moment, Gao Yuchuan seemed to be caught in a huge whirlpool, unable to extricate himself, and no one else could help him at all.

"The doctor is waiting for you, please come as soon as possible."

Gao Yuchuan came to his senses, withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

He was called back by a phone call from the doctor. Presumably, the doctor had something important to tell him.

"Yeah." He found it difficult to utter even one more word.

Gao Yuchuan turned around, and although his steps were still hurried, they were more determined.

No matter what the situation is, he can't fall down at this time. He must be strong. Shen Yaochu is the only one left.

*****

----

Gao Yuchuan walked to the door of the doctor's office and stopped involuntarily.

He stood at the door, his hands trembling slightly, and a layer of cold sweat had already seeped out of his palms.

No matter who he was meeting, Gao Yuchuan had never been so nervous.

Gao Yuchuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension, but the sound of his heartbeat still echoed in his ears like a drum.

He looked up at the closed door. The nameplate on the door was particularly eye-catching under the dim light.

This door seemed to be the door to Shen Yaochu's future life. Gao Yuchuan felt it was extremely heavy and difficult to push open.

Gao Yuchuan was afraid, but he also knew that he couldn't waste any more time.

The most important thing is to find a treatment method for Shen Yaochu as soon as possible.

As a man, as Shen Yaochu's husband, he has to bear all of this.

Gao Yuchuan pursed his lips, and finally raised his hand to knock on the doctor's office door. But his hand seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, and even the rhythm of knocking on the door was messy, which made people upset.

The doctor inside responded instantly: "Mr. Gao? Come in."

Gao Yuchuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

When he looked up, he saw the doctor hurriedly standing up and coming to greet him.

In that second, Gao Yuchuan's heart sank.

The attending physician walked towards Gao Yuchuan, and his serious and deep eyes made him clench his fists.

The doctor frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry. Seeing Gao Yuchuan push the door in, he nodded, invited him in, and sat him on the sofa.

After Gao Yuchuan sat down, the doctor was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words.

The huge office suddenly fell into inexplicable silence.

Such silence made the atmosphere even more solemn, making people feel a little breathless.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes flickered and he didn't even dare to look into the attending doctor's eyes.

The attending doctor looked down at Shen Yaochu's medical records. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze fell on Gao Yuchuan and he spoke slowly: "I originally thought that according to our conservative treatment method, combined with special medicine, we could buy your wife some time. Even if we can't recover quickly, at least we can slow down the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life."

Gao Yuchuan's throat tightened. He tried hard to swallow the fear in his heart and asked with a trembling voice: "So now... what is the situation?"

The doctor sighed, his eyes becoming somewhat profound: "The current situation is very bad. We haven't taken any effective medicine for such a long time, and because of the false health performance, we were confused and stopped other auxiliary methods. Conservative treatment has lost its effect, and the condition has deteriorated rapidly in a short period of time and has reached a point where it is out of control."

The doctor's blunt words sounded like the voice from hell, making Gao Yuchuan feel dizzy.

Gao Yuchuan's heart sank suddenly, and he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and going straight to his heart.

Gao Yuchuan tried hard to stay calm, but his body was shaking even more.

He tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, trying to steady himself, but his voice was beginning to lose control: "Is there any other way? We can try other treatments, or ask a more professional doctor to come for a consultation."

The doctor shook his head slightly, frowning, "I have discussed this with the team many times. Your wife's current physical condition is no longer suitable for any drastic treatment. Moreover, we have tried our best. Before we got the specific medicine, we had tried all the treatment options, but the results were not satisfactory. You know this too."

How could Gao Yuchuan not know...

It was because they knew that other means would hardly make Shen Yaochu's body better, so when the special medicine appeared, they were so grateful as if they had a life-saving straw.

But who would have known that success and failure were both due to Xiao He.

In the end, it was because they were too reassured by the medicine that they reached this irreversible point today.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes instantly turned red, and he felt an indescribable pain surge in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, as if trying to ease the pain in his heart.

Gao Yuchuan's throat slid up and down, his voice low and hoarse, and he asked with difficulty: "Then how long will she... last?"

The doctor paused and said, "I must tell you that your wife... may not even be able to live for a month now."
