Stealing Your Heart

Both Zong Yanxi and Gu Xian got off the car, but Guan Jing remained in his seat. He seemed to have forgotten what Gu Xian told him, or perhaps he was too engrossed in his thoughts.

“Uncle Guan,” Zong Yanxi called out, snapping the man back to reality.

After he got off the car, Gu Xian led them to the ward.

He didn’t show any intention of entering the ward when he said, “My mom is inside.”

Guan Jing took one look at him. Despite having an inkling of what was happening, he refused to believe it.

It had been ages since they last met, but he still managed to recognize Gu Huiyuan immediately. She was no longer young, but she was still the same to him.

Right then, the woman’s eyes fluttered open on the bed. When she spotted the man standing beside her bed, her eyes widened in shock. However, she swiftly shook her head and let out a self-deprecating chuckle.

She thought she was seeing things. “I can’t believe I wanted to see you before I die.”

Exhaling sharply, she lamented, “Well, I didn’t get to see you when I was alive. What’s the point of hallucinating about you before I die?”

Clearly, she was berating herself for missing him so much to the point where she was hallucinating about him. “You’re useless, Gu Huiyuan.”

Guan Jing’s legs felt as heavy as lead.

His heart was thumping furiously, so it took him some time to find his voice. “Gu Huiyuan?”

The woman on the bed froze in bewilderment. Her eyes opened wide as she stared at Guan Jing. “You…”

Is this not a hallucination? If it is, why is he talking?

“You! You…”

In that instant, she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions—excitement and fear among them—but she had no idea what to say to him.

Guan Jing came over to her and demanded, “Where did you hide? I couldn’t find you, no matter how hard I looked. You were hiding here?”

Gu Huiyuan took a long time to digest his words as tears welled up in her eyes.

Her voice was hoarse as she stated, “So you did look for me.”

Guan Jing’s eyes reddened as well. “Of course! I’m not cruel like you. You left without leaving a message.”

Gu Huiyuan choked up as her lips trembled profusely.

Tears rolled down her cheeks before falling on the pillow she was lying on.

Outside the ward, Zong Yanxi and Gu Xian sat on the bench without a word, listening as occasional bits of the conversation and sobs rang out from the ward.

It went on until nightfall arrived.

For the young people outside, it was a long wait.

Yet, to Guan Jing and Gu Huiyuan, they only had a short reunion.

After all, they had missed the opportunity to spend a lifetime together.

They were in love with each other, but they hadn’t gotten a chance to express their feelings.

Guan Jing soon calmed down and proceeded to ask the doctor about Gu Huiyuan’s situation. Alas, the woman wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer. Even if God was indeed real, He wouldn’t be able to save her life.

Guan Jing remained by the woman’s side so they could spend her last moments together.

They didn’t stay in the hospital. Instead, the man brought her to several places, talking about what they had missed out on in each other’s lives.

When Gu Huiyuan found out Guan Jing was married with kids now, her heart squeezed with agony as though an electric drill had gone through it.

She knew he wouldn’t be single forever, but the truth still got to her, nonetheless.

Utterly shocked by the news, she had fainted on the spot.

Guan Jing brought her to the hospital hastily. From that day onward, whenever she asked about his private affairs, he’d avoid the topic deftly.

One day, Gu Huiyuan wanted to go to the sea, and Guan Jing gladly obliged her request.

Under the blue sky, the waves lapped against the shore slowly. There was a whiff of the salty smell of the seawater in the air.

“After I die, scatter my ashes into the sea.” Gu Huiyuan reached out to take Guan Jing’s hand. “I can’t believe you’ll be the one who will send me off.”

Guan Jing pursed his lips as his throat dried up.

“Gu Xian. I-Is he my son?” He had been wanting to ask that question for some time, but he hadn’t been able to muster his courage to do so.

As Gu Huiyuan’s end was near, he wanted to hear it from her own mouth.
