To seduce her

"What... a month? How, how is that possible..."

The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Gao Yuchuan's heart hard.

His already tense nerves completely collapsed at this moment, and he seemed to have lost all his strength.

He opened his eyes wide, unable to believe his ears, but the doctor's serious and heavy expression told him that all this was true.

The dizziness once again mercilessly pounced on Gao Yuchuan, engulfing him completely.

His body shook involuntarily a few times, as if he would fall down at any time.

"Yes." The doctor lowered his head, seeming to feel lost and desperate, and empathize with Gao Yuchuan.

Hearing the doctor's firm answer, Gao Yuchuan's eyes instantly became moist. He suppressed the grief in his heart and did not let himself lose his composure in front of the doctor.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, as if only this could ease the pain in his heart.

Gao Yuchuan felt as if he was thrown into an endless dark abyss, surrounded by cold despair and endless fear.

He couldn't imagine the scene that Shen Yaochu was about to leave him. That would be an unbearable torture for him.

Even though Shen Yaochu has faced death many times since she fell ill.

But this time, it came too violently and almost defeated and knocked him down.

The doctor looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes, but he knew that this was a fact that could not be changed.

He comforted her softly, “I know this is hard for you to accept, but this… is indeed the truth. You must accept it as soon as possible.”

Gao Yuchuan hung his head, saying nothing, his whole body filled with despair, which made the doctor couldn't help but sigh.

"Since we can't change it, we can only face the reality. Now, the only thing we can do is to try to make her live more comfortably during this period and reduce her pain."

"Spending more time with her and letting her feel everyone's love and care may make her feel better and pass away more comfortably."

"..."

The "period of time" the doctor mentioned was less than a month.

The doctor's words were like a knife cutting into Gao Yuchuan's heart, one cut after another. The pain was so severe that he was shaking, but there was no way to relieve it.

……

Gao Yuchuan was silent for a long time, and the doctor did not disturb him. He just looked at him and waited for him for a long time.

It was unknown how long it had been before Gao Yuchuan finally raised his head slowly.

When he looked up again, his eyes had turned blood red. The doctor could not understand his emotions, nor could he read his complicated look. He only knew that he seemed to be going crazy.

The doctor looked regretful and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he knew it would be futile to say anything at this moment, so he opened his mouth and closed it again.

Gao Yuchuan blinked his sore eyes and nodded with difficulty.

When he spoke again, Gao Yuchuan's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak: "I will, I will stay with her until the last moment."

The doctor was infected by his emotion, nodded, and sighed: "We will also find a way to make her spend these last few days easier and more comfortable."

"Okay, thank you."

Gao Yuchuan stood up and staggered out of the doctor's office.

The light from the corridor shone on his distraught back, making him look so desolate and lonely.

He always knew that he was lonely, but when he was about to lose Shen Yaochu, he was still defeated by this loneliness.

Gao Yuchuan raised his head slightly. The light from the corridor shone on his face, making his complexion look even paler. He closed his eyes in despair, feeling the severe pain in his chest.

That's good, he can still feel the pain, so he can spend more time with Shen Yaochu...

*****

----

At the entrance of the intensive care unit.

The usually calm and steady president, the once aloof and indifferent man, was standing there hunched over, his tall figure looking unusually lonely under the dim corridor lights.

He clenched his hands into fists, veins bulging, as if he was trying to suppress the pain and despair in his heart.

"Yao Chu..." Gao Yuchuan's eyes were red and swollen, and his eye sockets were filled with tears, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he was trying to control his emotions. His shoulders trembled slightly, but he endured it, fearing that Shen Yaochu could still sense everything around him and discover his pain.

Gao Yuchuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. However, when he opened his eyes again, tears could no longer be controlled and fell.

Gao Yuchuan's tears fell to the ground, making a faint sound in the silent corridor.

"Yaochu..." Gao Yuchuan called Shen Yaochu's name over and over again, his body trembling slightly and his voice choked in his throat.

He knew that he couldn't lose his composure here and couldn't let Shen Yaochu know his pain, but at this moment, he could no longer hide his inner grief.

Gao Yuchuan's tears kept flowing, and he didn't wipe them away, just let them fall.

He hated himself for not being able to share her pain, hated himself for not being able to help her recover, hated himself for being unable to do anything at this time...

"Mr. Gao!"

At this moment, Assistant Fang hurried over, and his hurried steps slowed down the moment he saw Gao Yuchuan.

He stopped and looked at Gao Yuchuan in shock. His eyes, which were usually calm and steady, were now bloodshot with tears.

Assistant Fang was extremely upset. He shouldn't have failed to notice Gao Yuchuan's mood and actually called him.

Just when Assistant Fang didn't know what to do, Gao Yuchuan spoke up: "Speak."

Gao Yuchuan didn't seem to care that his gushing emotions were discovered by Assistant Fang. He didn't even raise his hand to wipe the tears from his face. He just stared at Shen Yaochu without blinking.

His eyes didn't want to leave her for even a second, not a single second could be wasted.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Assistant Fang was panting, not daring to step forward. He just took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Gao Yuchuan: "I have something to report here. I wonder if it's convenient for you now."

Gao Yuchuan didn't glance at him, but seemed to know that he had paper in his hand, so he reached out and took it.

"explain."

Assistant Fang nodded without looking at Gao Yuchuan, and said respectfully: "You asked me to find the doctor abroad, and there is news."

Gao Yuchuan was stunned, tears still on his face, and he turned around abruptly to look at Assistant Fang.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by great joy. He seemed to have forgotten the tears on his face, stared at Assistant Fang with wide eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? Are you sure?"

Assistant Fang nodded heavily, saying firmly, "Yes, Mr. Gao. I have already contacted their team, and they are willing to rush to Lukang as soon as possible to assess your wife's condition."
