Chapter 1672 - 1672 Heart Felt Like It Was Burning
1672 Heart Felt Like It Was Burning
At this moment, Gu Zheng’s eyes were empty, but his expression was very calm.
“President, the poison has already spread to your eyes. We can only suppress it with medicine for the time being, but…”
However, everyone knew that using medications to suppress the symptoms was only temporary. One day, the medicine would lose its effect and the poison would completely erupt. At that time, it was hard to predict if he would completely lose his eyesight or lose his life.
If the president really lost his eyesight…
Gu Zheng’s eyes were still gray. His thin lips parted slightly. “Is she okay?”
!!
Doctor Jiang did not realize who he was asking about, but Song Shijing choked and could not say anything.
Gu Zheng knew Song Shijing very well. The silence at this moment was enough to explain everything. He sounded a little fl.u.s.tered. “Song Shijing, what’s wrong with her?”
He looked up at Song Shijing. Although he could not see anything, he still felt a chill. “I’m asking you a question! Did something happen?”
From that night onward, Gu Zheng had been uneasy. Even though he had woken up from his coma, the feeling was still extremely strong.
Just then, Song Shijing’s phone rang. It was Uncle Sheng. He picked it up immediately. Hearing the other party’s words, his face darkened.
Song Shijing and Song Shiyu looked at each other. If they did not tell the president the truth, the president would definitely not let them off when he found out. However, they were sure that as long as they told the president, the president would return to the capital immediately, regardless of whether it would arouse the suspicion of the Brook family.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Shijing took a deep breath. “Young Madam… She’s missing.”
The moment that was said, the ward instantly fell silent. Gu Zheng clenched his fists tightly and felt his heart twitch as if he was going to faint the next second. He gritted his teeth and asked again, “Did you say that Xi Xi is missing?”
“Y-Yes.”
Hearing an affirmative answer, Gu Zheng felt his mind buzz. Everything around him became blurry. The pain in his heart made his entire body go numb. He took a long time to accept this fact.
Cold sweat broke out on Song Shiyu’s forehead as he said slowly, “Young Madam and Mr. Xia Jingan had an appointment. When she drove out alone at night, she was chased after by a group of people. She fell into the river and disappeared.”
Gu Zheng’s heart felt as if it was being dismembered by a sharp knife. The pain caused him to be unable to help but groan as the smell of blood surged out of his throat. He recalled that the scandal between him and Ji Tian had spread throughout the city these past few days. He had deliberately neglected Qiao Xi because he wanted to survive this period of time. He wanted to look for Qiao Xi to explain and beg for her forgiveness after this.
However, before he could return to Li City, Qiao Xi went missing. When she was being chased after, he was far away in the capital. Would Xi Xi forgive him despite not knowing his difficulties?
After a long silence, the usually calm man asked in a trembling voice, “When did this happen?”
“The night before yesterday. After you fainted, I received a call from Uncle Sheng. They’ve already sent everyone to look for Young Madam, but there are no clues.”
Gu Zheng covered his eyes with his hand as warm liquid gushed out. The darkness in front of him made him feel terrified, and his heart felt as if it was burning.
“Xi Xi…”
He said her name and took a deep breath. “Return to Li City immediately!”
When Gu Zheng left the ward with everyone, he happened to see many doctors running toward Ji Tian’s ward.
“Tian Tian! Don’t scare me!” The woman who was shouting in the hospital was Ji Tian’s mother. At this moment, Ji Tian was holding her chest and leaning weakly against her.
Ji Tian’s mother, Liu Meiyu, rushed over and grabbed Gu Zheng’s hand. She cried, “Mr. Gu! Tian Tian’s condition isn’t too good. You should stay and accompany her!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was cold as he shook off Liu Meiyu’s hand.
The next second, Song Shijing stood in front of her. “If you’re sick, please look for a doctor. It’s useless to look for our president.”
“But the internet is saying that Mr. Gu and our Tian Tian are a couple. Now that she’s sick, you can’t just abandon her!” Liu Meiyu wailed loudly, and everyone around her looked over.
Everyone had heard the rumors online and thought that Ji Tian was Gu Zheng’s woman. Now that Ji Tian was sick, wasn’t Gu Zheng too heartless to abandon her?
“Mom!” Just as Liu Meiyu was about to pester her, Ji Tian said weakly, “Don’t stop Ah Zheng. He’s already very good to me. If it’s not for something important, he wouldn’t abandon me.”
