My Sweet Dr. Xu

Chapter 19: He Is A Sick Patient



 "I don't believe you." Xu Zhiyin said, "I never thought you'd be so good at lying. You can still lie with reality in front of you."

 

 "Dr. Xu." Qiao saw the two of them in a deadlock and Gu Nantian was holding on to Xu Zhiyin, not allowing her to leave, he had no choice but to stand up and explain, "It's actually like this."

 

 "What?" Xu Zhiyin looked at Qiao.

 

Qiao had always been a good person, at least in Xu Zhiyin's eyes, he was a gentleman and a reliable person.

 

There was a sense of guilt on Qiao's face. He continued, "Actually, Mr. Gu sleepwalks. Before you stayed here, he had experienced it several times. Last night, he may have been sleepwalking."

 

 "…" Xu Zhiyin was taken aback. She looked at Gu Nantian in disbelief. Gu Nantian quickly explained, "Sleepwalking is not my fault. I can't recall what happens when I sleepwalk."

 

Xu Zhiyin was a doctor and she knew sleepwalking was an unconscious behavior but did Gu Nantian really sleepwalk?

 

Qiao saw that Xu Zhiyin believed him and added, "Dr. Xu is a doctor and Master is a patient. Since he has such symptoms, Dr. Xu, you should be responsible for this. If you leave just like this, I'm sorry, even if Mr. Gu disagrees, I'll definitely file a complaint to your hospital. After all, it is you who can't solve the patient's problems."

 

 "…" Xu Zhiyin was stunned for a while after hearing Qiao's words.

 

She looked at Gu Nantian with uncertainty. "You really sleepwalk?"

 

 "Yes, yes." Gu Nantian kept nodding just like a pitiful child yearning for an approval.

 

As a doctor, when Xu Zhiyin saw him, she felt helpless.

 

She couldn't bear to see Gu Nantian's look, like ignoring him was a sin.

 

She looked at Gu Nantian and the fury on her face faded. "Alright, I'll take it that you sleepwalked last night but I still want to leave this place."

 

 "Why?" Gu Nantian was unhappy.

 

 "What if you were to climb onto my bed again at night? I'll come over in the day to give you treatment and the nights will be my personal time. I won't give you any opportunities."

 

After saying that, Xu Zhiyin walked out of the surveillance room.

 

Although she was good-tempered, she was also stubborn. Once she had decided on something, she wouldn't change her mind easily.

 

Gu Nantian followed her out and controlled himself not to hold her hand. "Darling, are you really leaving?"

 

 "I said I'm not your wife."

 

 "Please don't be angry. If I have done something to make you unhappy, I'll change. I promise not to go too far."

 

 "You sleepwalked and whatever you did was not under your control. We'll forget about last night's incident but…if I don't leave, what if you were to do something beyond acceptance again?"

 

What if Gu Nantian were to… she would go crazy!"

 

Even if she didn't like Ji Liunian in future, she would choose a man to marry rather than have such an ambiguous relationship with Gu Nantian.

 

Gu Nantian assured, "I won't."

 

 "How do you know you won't?" Xu Zhiyin looked at him seriously, as if reading his mind, "Or did you do what you did last night on purpose?"

 

Gu Nantian shifted his gaze with a sense of guilt. "No, I just don't want you to leave me. I've forgotten everyone and only remember you. If you were to abandon me here, don't you think I'm pitiful?"

 

After saying these, he showed a pitiful look.

 

Gu Nantian said, "You like Ji Liunian. I like you. Ji Liunian abandoned you, so you must know how it feels like to be abandoned. Would you abandon me?

 

This man…

 

He was really skillful at stabbing the gentlest part in the bottom of her heart.

 

He knew she had no resistance to Ji Liunian's name and mentioned Ji Liunian on purpose.

 

Xu Zhiyin knew Gu Nantian was pitiful. He had lost his memory and couldn't remember his past and even misunderstood a stranger as his lover. His pitiful state was no less than hers.

 

As a doctor, Xu Zhiyin couldn't bear to see people suffering, but…

 

She looked at Gu Nantian and said, "Please understand, if you were to do something beyond acceptance, there won't be benefits for you and for me. Now, you have lost your memory but this is only temporary. Once you recall everything, you will find that I'm a nobody in your world. You have a woman you deeply love and by that time, how are you going to face her? So, to avoid all these from happening, please let me leave."

 

Xu Zhiyin thought he should understand the pros and cons that she analyzed for him genuinely.

 

Who would have expected him to hug her the minute she finished her sentence!

 

He hugged her so tightly as if about to break her bones. She frowned from the pain. "Gu Nantian, did you hear what I just said?"

 

 "No, I don't understand." Gu Nantian replied, "I don't allow you to leave. If you leave, I'll leave with you. I'll go wherever you go."

 

 "…" This man was as stubborn as a child.

 

Xu Zhiyin suspected his intelligence quotient to be only several years old.

 

She sighed. "Did you really not understand what I said?"

 

 "I just want you by my side. When you're not around, I feel like killing someone."

 

He felt empty and his heart was bottomless. There was no sense of security for him.

 

Because of this feeling, Gu Nantian acted like a tyrant before the existence of Xu Zhiyin.

 

Now that Xu Zhiyin appeared, he suddenly became gentle.

 

Hence, everyone liked the days when Xu Zhiyin was here.

 

Xu Zhiyin looked into Gu Nantian's eyes. His eyes were focused, serious but blood-thirsty.

 

This moment, she didn't doubt his words.

 

She truly understood that Gu Nantian was a sick person!

 

Just like how people who were depressed would commit suicide, he who lost his memory might do just anything.

Sigh!

 

Xu Zhiyin sighed in her heart once again.

 

She had never fussed about with her patients.

 

Just like that day when Gu Nantian called her darling wife in the hospital, she didn't explain.

 

It looked like this was the consequence of her non-explanation!

 

Today, she had to reap what she had sown.

 

She compromised, "Please let go of me first."

 

 "If you don't promise me you'll stay, I won't let go." He hugged her tightly as he felt once he let go of her, it meant he had let go of everything in his life.

 

 "Let go of me. Come to my office in twenty minutes." Qiao had prepared a private office for her where she could work and do research."

 

Xu Zhiyin made Gu Nantian let go of her. She could stay but still had to work.

 

Upon hearing this, Gu Nantian let go of Xu Zhiyin. His eyes emitted a probing gentleness. "You're not leaving?"

 

 "Yes, I'm not leaving." She was not leaving but she would solve the problem.
