Chapter 289: Chapter 289 – Longing To Hear His Voice_1
Wenya left, and it felt like half a day had passed.

Maybe the doctor added anesthesia to my medication, afraid that I might be in pain, and I was drifting in and out of consciousness.

At this point, I could no longer tell how much time had passed.

Every time I woke up, I would look towards the door of the ward.

Checking to see if Ding Yinuo would come to visit me.

Checking to see if Wenya had returned!

But after a long wait, Wenya still hadn’t returned.

The ward I was staying in was a regular two-person room, with a TV hanging on the wall in the middle.

I didn’t have the mood to watch the soap operas airing on TV, but I paid a little attention to the news in between.

“On Fuma South Road, a blue sports car lost control and collided with a semi-trailer truck… This accident caused several cars to rear-end each other, and one died at the scene… Other injured individuals have been taken to the hospital for emergency care.”

It seemed like the news was talking about the accident we had been in.

I don’t remember the details of the incident!

At that time, I was completely enveloped by fear and lost consciousness soon after.

The only thing I remember now is that after the car fell, Ding Yinuo twisted his body to protect me, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

That scene is clear in my mind.

After countless times of recollection, the picture became even clearer.

I waited for a very long time…

In fact, it’s just my sense of time that’s mistaken, only a few hours had passed.

Due to my anxiety, time seemed to stretch on.

Finally, Wenya returned.

She bought me a new phone,

“You would definitely think the red is too tacky, so I got you a piano black one… I’ve applied for a new SIM card. If you don’t like this one, bring your ID to exchange it next time. Your old card can only be reissued by you personally. Oh right .. . this matter, I think you should report it to the police.”

“Report what to the police?”

“Gu Yuanzhou sent someone to kill you!”

“No use. I’ve thought about it! He doesn’t have a weapon, and there’s no evidence… The only evidence we have currently is that he’s been following me. But, he will deny it… saying that it was a coincidence, and that the collision was just an accidental rear-end.”

“But someone died! If someone’s died, he’s guilty!”

“Don’t know about that, Wenya, don’t act rashly, let me handle it!”

I’m not a coward, and I’m not afraid to confront Gu Yuanzhou head on.

But, I’m now only half-alive, I’m not mobile, and I can’t let Wenya get hurt anymore.

Wenya is impulsive, less steady than Song Zexi.

If she runs into Gu Yuanzhou, she might lash out in the heat of the moment and confront him with a knife…

Just thinking about it, the hairs on my scalp stand up with fear.

“Wenya, no! Listen to me, I’ve already lost Ding Yinuo, and I can’t let you get involved anymore. Plus, you’re not alone, you’ve got your ailing mother and Su Peisheng, I can’t let you take a risk.”

Wenya was desperate,

“What should we do, then? Should we just let him walk all over us?”

“No, I have a plan, Wenya… The more Gu Yuanzhou doesn’t want me to do something, the more it means that this matter is very important, and the more I have to go do it. The data is actually still in my hands. Once I retrieve it in a few days, I can still publish it.”

After my persuasion, Wenya finally calmed down.

She let out a sigh.

“Ayun, I didn’t expect you to suffer so much!”

“It’s all my fault! I’m to blame. If I had listened to Ding Yinuo earlier, if I left A City with him, maybe all these things wouldn’t have happened. This time, I’m lucky to be alive.”

I sighed.

Wenya shook her head,

“I don’t know how to deal with you anymore! If you could really let go, you would have done so a long time ago. The reason you’re still not leaving is that you can’t let go.”

“By the way, do you know anything about Ding Yinuo?”

Wenya hesitated for a moment before saying,

“I did get some news. He’s currently undergoing surgery at city hospital number one.”

City hospital number one is his original workplace, where his colleagues are, they should treat him well.

Hearing this, I felt a little relieved.

“Is his injury severe?”

“A bit severe! He also has a fracture, so… he couldn’t get out of bed to visit you…”

“Did you talk to him when you visited him?”

I wanted to know more details.

Wenya hesitated for a moment before saying,

“Yes, of course… but there was nothing much for him to say! You know, Su Peisheng isn’t back yet, and I’m not his girlfriend, so it didn’t feel right to make small talk with him. Otherwise, people might misunderstand and think I’m his girlfriend.”

“Did he ask about me?”

“This… Of course he did!”

“What did he ask?”

I continued to ask eagerly.

Wenya started scratching her head, she thought for a long time,

“He just asked about you, like… did you get injured? Which hospital are you in? If you asked about him and so on.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, what else do you think he should ask?”

“Did he mention that I wanted to cancel our engagement?”

“This… He didn’t mention it! Why do you want to cancel it, Ayun? Can’t you feel how much Ding Yinuo likes you? Aunt Ding is counting on you to add a member to the Ding family! Ayun, I don’t know what to say to you. You’re not still hung up on that scum Gu Yuanzhou, are you!”

Wenya was filled with indignation and started chiding me…

I didn’t try to defend myself and willingly took her scolding.

It’s my fault, all my fault.

After Wenya finished berating me, I finally said,

“I want to call Ding Yinuo and ask how he’s doing.”

Actually, at this point I really wanted to hear Ding Yinuo’s voice.

Wenya thought for a while, and finally shook her head, “No!”

“Why?”

“Well, his situation is the same as yours. His phone was dropped at the scene of the accident and broke. He hasn’t bought a new one yet!”

“Isn’t his mother by his side?”

I thought that even if his phone was broken, I could still call her phone.

Wenya quickly shook her head again,

“Of course not. Aunt Ding still doesn’t know about Ding Yinuo’s car accident yet, she’s elderly and won’t be able to handle the shock. So, Ding Yinuo didn’t tell his family about his accident.”

“What about his brother?”

“His brother is overseas these few days and hasn’t returned yet! Alright, Ayun, don’t think too much about it. Get some rest, and everything will be better when you wake up.”

“Okay!”

I was running low on energy, and after chatting with Wenya for a while, my eyelids felt heavy and I fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it was before I woke up again, and found that Wenya had disappeared from the side of my bed.

In the empty sickbed, there was only a dark figure standing by my side.

It was none other than Gu Yuanzhou.
