It was laughable that love – an absolutely unacceptable absurd behavior – was something he could not control! He wanted to see her every moment, and although they met every weekend, his longing grew deeper and more intense.
He could no longer bear to mock her maliciously or treat her coldly. When they occasionally argued, it was just to tease her playfully.
He cared about everything about her, especially pitying her for shuttling between school and hospital – and still coming to his place every weekend. He had once considered giving up the contract that bound her, out of heartache for her hardships. However, a selfish devil occupied his conscience, preventing him from easily uttering the words “terminate the contract”.
This agreement was the only bridge connecting them. As long as the agreement existed, he could see her every weekend, listen to her speak, and watch her smile. Once this agreement disappeared, she might never appear at his home again. He might still see her, but only in the hospital.
In the hospital, she had only one identity – Gao Zhongwei’s girlfriend, a woman he should not covet! But how could he endure the torture of only being able to look at her from a distance, unable to get close?
After various contemplations, his selfish desires conquered his conscience. He would rather have her hate him in the future than give her up.
He would not return her to Gao Zhongwei until he was completely recovered and able to walk!
Chapter Five
“Zhongwei!”
Ji Mengtang walked into Gao Zhongwei’s hospital room with a light smile, wanting to share her news of gaining Johnny Cheng’s favor.
“Where have you been running around?” However, the moment Gao Zhongwei saw her, he twisted his thin lips and spat out these hurtful words.
“Zhongwei?!” Ji Mengtang gasped, shocked, staring at him sitting at the bedside.
After two years of surgery and treatment, Kang Yancheng had reconnected his broken nerves and repaired his ruptured spine. Although he still couldn’t get out of bed, his upper body could now move, and he could sit up independently.
However, years of lying in a hospital bed had worn down his patience. He had become irritable and misanthropic, venting his frustrations on those around him – either his parents or Ji Mengtang.
