Gu Zhiming's gaze froze.
"It's nothing, you just fainted. You'll be fine soon."
I tried to move a bit.
It felt as if my lower body had vanished, with no sensation at all.
I panicked and used all my strength, but only managed to make a very faint sound.
"What happened to my legs?"
Gu Zhiming avoided my gaze.
"Yueyue, just rest well. Everything will be alright."
Gu Zhiming seemed to be stung, his eyes bloodshot.
He couldn't bear to look at me and called for the doctor instead.
The doctor gave me an injection, and I quickly fell asleep again.
In my hazy consciousness, I only felt that I hated him, I hated him so much!
I hated the version of myself that once loved him so deeply.
When I woke up again, it was several days later.
I opened my eyes to bright sunlight outside the window.
The rain had cleared, and a rainbow hung in the sky.
I turned my head and saw Gu Zhiming.
He had lost a lot of weight, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and unshaven stubble, looking utterly haggard.
"Yueyue!"
He seemed unable to believe that I had truly woken up.
"Wait here, I'll call the doctor!"
Gu Zhiming ran off excitedly to call the doctor.
The doctor examined me.
"The patient's consciousness is clear, and there are no major issues with the body. With proper care, recovery is expected."
I let out a sigh of relief.
But I still had no feeling in my lower body.
"My legs..."
My throat was very hoarse, and my voice was low.
But the ward was very quiet, and everyone heard me.
The air was still for a few seconds.
"Mr. Gu, could you step outside for a moment?"
The doctor called Gu Zhiming out.
I vaguely heard the doctor saying something to Gu Zhiming outside the door.
Gu Zhiming returned to the ward and sat by the bed.
"Yueyue, the doctor said this is only temporary, so don't worry."
I stared at him directly: "Really?"
Gu Zhiming nodded firmly: "Really."
But his flickering gaze betrayed him.
"You’re lying to me!"
"Gu Zhiming, you tricked me again!"
"How many more times do you need to deceive me before you're satisfied?"
"Why, why are you treating me like this?"
"Why..."
I screamed hoarsely.
Gu Zhiming called the doctor again, who gave me an injection that sent me back into a deep sleep.
As my consciousness faded, one thought remained in my mind.
I hate him.

When I woke up again, the first person I saw was my dad.
"Yueyue, you're awake. Is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?"
He walked to the bedside and gently asked me.
This was the first time I heard him speak to me in such a tender tone.
Unfortunately, I could no longer feel any warmth.
"What happened to my leg?"
I urgently pressed for answers.
"Yueyue, don't worry. Even if it really..."
Gu Zhiming approached and comforted me.
"I will be with you; I will take care of you for the rest of your life."
I frowned in disgust.
"Take care of me for a lifetime? You said the same thing to Lu Wan last time, right?"
Gu Zhiming's gaze faltered.
I suddenly asked, "What about Lu Wan?"
Gu Zhiming's eyes shifted away.
"I've made it clear to her; she won't disturb us anymore," Gu Zhiming assured me.
"When you get better, we'll get married. I will take care of you for a lifetime, love you for a lifetime, Yueyue. Give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"
His gaze was sincere, his tone earnest.
But I felt nauseated.
Just thinking about what he did with Lu Wan made me want to throw up.
I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at him again.
"Gu Zhiming, let's break up."
It wasn't a discussion; it was a notification.
From now on, we have no relationship at all.
