Chapter 827: She Once Loved Me with Her Life (5)
Breaking off the engagement…
Gu Yu’s grip tightened on the notebook. Sharp pain rushed through his veins into his brain, as if there was a beast trapped in his mind, trying to break through.
He took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm his mind.
October 28th: Chunchun went to visit Gu Yu at the hospital today. She told me that Gu Yu is in an awful shape that even the doctor was not optimistic about it. Grandpa Gu couldn’t take it and fell ill again. If Gu Yu couldn’t survive this, Grandpa Gu too might collapse. I can’t think of what to do. I couldn’t convince Mum and Dad to let me take care of Gu Yu. I have to be by his side, even if he will never wake up. Else, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.
October 29th: Zhanw.a.n.g pried from my parents that they indeed had the intention to break off my engagement with Gu Yu. They had already started looking for another marriage prospect for me and seemed to have agreed with the family of the new prospect. There’s no time to waste. Everything will be too late if I continue to delay. But I cannot object to them. I have to do something before they decided on my new marriage prospect.
October 30th: I’ll talk to my father when he comes home tonight. I’ll tell him I’ll take care of Gu Yu no matter what happened. I’ve even come up with the proposal to convince them. I hope it works. Gu Yu, wait for me. I’ll do my best to come to you.
A proposal?
The content of the proposal was not mentioned in the diary. Gu Yu’s mind was still blank. He could not figure out the meaning behind the mentioned proposal. But he knew she succeeded from the stories a.s.sistant Lin and Xu Shuai told him. He knew that Xu Weilai had been by his bedside, taking care of him after the car accident, until he regained his consciousness. They told him that Xu Weilai was the one that woke him up, which totally changed his perception towards her.
Even though he knew what happened, he was still deeply bothered by the “proposal” mentioned in her diary, as if it was an important key to certain lost information. Gu Yu’s fingers s.h.i.+vered as he continued flipping through the notebook. The next entry was on October 31st: I’ve finally convinced mum and dad. I hope I can wake him up next. Dear G.o.d, please help me.
For the next three months, no entry was written into the diary. She had probably gotten busy taking care of him. The next entry into the diary was three months later.
It was the beginning of the New Year before another stream on entries appeared in the diary again.
February 25th: Gu Yu regained his consciousness. My mind was in a daze when I saw him, opened his eyes. He had been in a coma for so long that I almost stopped believing that he will wake up. I thought I was dreaming about it until he held my hand. His hand was chilly and weak, but I was so excited and grateful, totally over cloud nine. G.o.d must have heard my daily prayers and was annoyed with me, and returned Gu Yu to me. Gu Yu, you’ve finally wakened up.
March 3rd: Gu Yu’s reflexes were a little slow because of the aftermath of the car accident on top of his comatose condition for such a long time. He was now no difference from a child, having to relearn a lot of things. He has to undergo physiotherapy every day. He’s persistent even though it was difficult and tiring. He perseveres and never complained about being tired. As expected, he excels in everything he does. But my heart ached for him.
March 15th: Gu Yu finally learned how to speak. He called my name; he called me Xu Weilai, Weilai…
