Xu Weilai had trouble sleeping well, and the chime from her phone woke her up from her light sleep instantaneously. Her long curled eyelashes quivered slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were still dazed until she inadvertently met the dark eyes of the man hovering above her. His expression was cold, disdainful, and faraway. His eyes were like a bottomless abyss.
It was a look she was most familiar with, and it was identical to what she had seen in her nightmare. For a moment, Xu Weilai was unable to decipher if she was actually awake, or still in her nightmare.
Their eyes met for a few seconds. As Xu Weilai’s consciousness gradually returned, she knew that this wasn’t a dream, but reality. She instinctively lowered her eyes to break the eye contact.
She had not expected Gu Yu to visit her.
Truthfully, there was nothing left to be said between them. Although they were spouses in name, their relationship, in reality, was even worse than that between strangers. Xu Weilai’s heart had already been broken thoroughly, and she refused to allow herself to entertain any delusional thoughts again.
This was probably what the philosophers had meant when they said, “Despair is the greatest sorrow.”
She didn’t speak, and Gu Yu didn’t either. But neither did he leave. He simply stood there staring at her coldly, with his lips pressed into a firm, thin line. Because of her illness, she had already been shivering from the cold. Now, under his merciless glare, she couldn’t help but tremble even more violently.
What was Gu Yu up to? Why couldn’t he just get it over and done with quickly?
The VIP ward was huge, but because of his presence, the whole atmosphere surrounding the room suddenly became cold and suffocating. It was getting hard to breathe, and she was beginning to feel breathless.
Xu Weilai bit her bottom lip and hesitated for half a minute before finally opening her mouth to break the painful silence.
