Gu Juexi gobbled up the bread, then grabbed a bottle of water and opened it. “He is so much older than me. There’s not much of a chance that he will outlive me.”
Lu Qichuan couldn’t argue with Gu Juexi on that.
“Is it because of what happened back then?” Lu Qichuan asked.
Ye Yuwei woke up on the seats and saw no one in the cabin. She got up carefully when she heard someone talking in the cockpit and slowly approached it.
Gu Juexi’s hand froze. “No,” he said finally, putting the bottle cap back on.
The cockpit fell into complete silence. Not able to enter, Ye Yuwei leaned against the door from the outside.
“There are things that not even time can change.”
“And you are making this decision because of Yuwei,” Lu Qichuan pointed out straightforwardly, “you might be disappointed about what happened in the army back then, but it was when you married Ye Yuwei that you gave up all opportunities of rejoining the troop.”
Ye Yuwei was confused. Since he married her?
But Gu Juexi did not love her at that time.
Then again it made sense. Gu Juexi was the kind of man who took responsibility very seriously and it was not impossible for him to decide not to join the army after getting married.
Everything that he said back then was true. Even if there wasn’t love, there were still obligations between them – obligations between a husband and wife.
That was just how Gu Juexi is.
Ye Yuwei realised that the way things were between them back then was not solely Gu Juexi’s fault. If she really did love him like she said she did, she would have noticed Gu Juexi’s character rather than blindly giving him things that he didn’t even need.
Gu Juexi fiddled with the bottle of water in his hand without denying what Lu Qichuan said.
Ye Yuwei continued to lean against the door. Why didn’t anyone ever bring up why Lu Qichuan wasn’t in the army?
What a weird group of people. Ye Yuwei shook her head and decided to lie down and get more sleep.
The helicopter landed at the hospital before dawn. Lu Qichuan who had flown the helicopter for almost three days headed home right after they landed.
Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi went to the surgical department to treat Gu Juexi’s right arm. While waiting for the X-ray results, Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi dropped by Wen Jie’s ward to visit her. They did not wake Wen Jie up when they saw her resting and went to the intensive care unit instead.
Gu Tianmu was still in a coma. In fact, he wasn’t even out of danger yet. There was a nurse at the intensive care unit who was taking care of him 24/7.
Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi stood outside the intensive care unit. Due to the injuries on his back and arms, Gu Tianmu was lying down on his stomach.
Gu Juexi looked at him and clenched his fists.
“He will be fine,” Ye Yuwei reached out to hold Gu Juexi’s hand and comforted him.
“But he was supposed to be hateful,” Gu Juexi stared at Gu Tianmu and said softly. He had been hating this man all these years.
But that hate had now disappeared.
When Gu Juexi got his results, it showed that his right arm ligament was severely injured, and the doctor was amazed by how Gu Juexi had held on this long with the ligament injury on top of the existing injuries that Gu Juexi had.
“Rest your right arm for a few months at least,” said the doctor while looking at the X-ray results.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi’s right arm and frowned, while Gu Juexi felt indifferent about it. He could use the other hand to carry his daughter anyway.
“How is Gu Tianmu?” Instead of worrying about himself, Gu Juexi asked about his father.
