After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Gu Tianyou watched the woman's figure disappear through the door of the ward.

He still felt it was so unreal.

Is he dreaming?

Thinking this, he suddenly felt exhausted and drifted off to sleep.

In his dream, he saw the scene of arguing with Shen Yao again.

Shen Yao turned and left resolutely, leaving behind the words, "When I said I would love you forever, it was just youthful ignorance. Gu Tianyou, you don't really think I'll love you forever, do you?"

Gu Tianyou suddenly opened his eyes.

I found myself drenched in cold sweat.

His clothes were almost completely soaked.

Just then, a wave of nausea washed over me.

He felt like the food he ate tonight was about to rise up in his throat.

He struggled to his feet, walked to the trash can, and hugged it... to vomit violently.

I felt like I was about to vomit up my internal organs.

Gu Tianyou's whole body convulsed in waves.

Finally, when there was nothing left to empty my stomach, the nausea and vomiting gradually subsided.

He slowly stood up, as if all his strength had been drained.

However, before he could regain his footing, everything went black and he fell to one side.

A loud "thud" came from the ward.

When Shen Yao returned from buying apples, she saw Gu Tianyou lying on the ground with blood flowing from his forehead.

She quickly threw the apple aside, called the doctor and nurses, and together they lifted Gu Tianyou onto the hospital bed.

After treating the wound urgently, the director gave Gu Tianyou a thorough examination.

"The patient probably fainted because he was too weak. Dean, if you are too busy, you can ask a caregiver to come over, so you won't have to work so hard."

Shen Yao felt guilty. "I'm already looking for someone, and they'll be on duty tomorrow."

The director nodded, turned around and gave some instructions before leaving the ward.

When Gu Tianyou woke up and saw Shen Yao, his first words were, "You've been gone for a long time."

Shen Yao sighed.

Actually, her round trip only took half an hour.

Because of the traffic congestion in the area, Shen Yao walked there.

She thought that nothing could happen to the man lying in bed for half an hour.

Unexpectedly, the man had a stomach upset and fainted.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, does it still hurt here?"

Shen Yao pointed to the wound on the man's forehead.

Gu Tianyou shook his head gently. "It doesn't hurt. But I want to rinse my mouth. Could you get me some mouthwash?"

Having just vomited so badly he felt dizzy and disoriented, Gu Tianyou felt the need to rinse his mouth.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to speak to the woman in front of him.

Seeing the man's somber expression, Shen Yao assumed he was unwell.

I never expected it would all be because of this.

She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Sigh, this man is always so particular.

"Okay, I'll go get it for you."

Ten minutes later, Shen Yao prepared the mouthwash and handed it to Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou held the mouthwash, looked at the woman, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Yao patiently said, "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. Remember, I'm your wife."

Perhaps it was that last sentence that ignited the man's courage.

The man sat up straight, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the restroom not far away.

"I need to rinse my mouth."

Shen Yao quickly stood up and held his arms with both hands, "Okay, I'll stay with you."

With Shen Yao's help, Gu Tianyou slowly got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

Her heart skipped a beat when her hand touched the man's body.

This man has lost so much weight.

Gu Tianyou stood in front of the mirror, looking at his haggard self, and asked Shen Yao in the mirror.

"Am I not as handsome as I used to be?"

Shen Yao suddenly felt her vision blur.

She quickly held back her tears and said with a smile, "How could that be? Mr. Gu is still a handsome man."

"Handsome guy?" Gu Tianyou forced a smile onto his pale face.

He stared at the woman in the mirror and asked, "So, do you like it?"

Shen Yao was somewhat taken aback by the man's sudden question.

For the past five years, she has lived under the same roof and slept in the same bed with the man, and what she thinks about most is how to torture and punish him.

As for liking...

I haven't really considered it.

So, she was a little flustered when the man asked her that question.

This bewilderment, if caught by the man, is interpreted as "dislike".

The man lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I understand. You go outside and wait for me. I'm going to rinse my mouth and use the restroom."

Shen Yao wanted to say something.

However, she didn't know where to begin, and eventually turned around and walked to the bathroom door.

After helping the man back to bed, Shen Yao told him about hiring a caregiver.

The man was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"Will you not come to see me in the hospital often anymore?"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Shen Yao quickly explained, "No, it's just to take better care of you. Don't worry, I'll come to see you every day."

Hearing the woman say this, the man's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

“During the day, the caregiver will look after you, and around 5 p.m. I will come to stay with you and sleep in the hospital.”

Gu Tianyou was alone in his hospital room, with a bed next to his roommate's.

Shen Yao can sleep in that bed when she comes to keep Gu Tianyou company at night.

"OK, alright."

Gu Tianyou was very satisfied with this arrangement.

He used to be fearless.

Naturally, they are not afraid of the dark.

However, since being diagnosed with cancer, he has found himself becoming afraid of the dark.

I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, I'll never be able to open them again.

After agreeing on the hospitalization arrangements, something subtle seemed to be drawing Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao closer together.

As chemotherapy and targeted therapy progressed and drug trials continued, Gu Tianyou's reactions became increasingly severe.

A man who is over 1.8 meters tall lost weight from 145 pounds to 110 pounds.

After another intensive treatment, Gu Tianyou lay weakly in bed.

He was almost completely unable to move his body.

But his eyes were fixed on Shen Yao.

Shen Yao knew he was in a lot of pain.

She sat on the edge of the bed, holding the man's hand tightly. "Gu Tianyou, you must pull through. Don't give up, okay?"

Gu Tianyou smiled weakly.

He counted the time, panting, and said, "It's been almost a year, and I feel like my body can't take it anymore. What should I do?"

Shen Yao looked at the man's eyes, which were gradually losing their light, and shook her head vigorously.

"You can do it! The doctor said that they have found an anti-cancer drug that suits your constitution. After three months of observation, it will definitely be effective!"

The man listened to the woman's words, but no light appeared in his eyes.

"It's been a year. I feel like my body is slipping out of my control. Shen Yao, I want to hug you, but I can't even do it anymore!"

After saying this, two cold tears slid down the man's pale face.

For a man, what could be more frightening and terrifying than feeling powerless?

Gu Tianyou felt that living such a pathetic and incompetent life was too painful.
