The words he had once promised to be forever grateful were long forgotten. Every time she came, he would be harsh and critical, either maliciously mocking or sarcastically undermining her, causing her immense distress.
“Zhongwei, how can you say such things?!” His words were too hurtful, and Ji Mengtang’s tears immediately began to drop like water.
These two years, his performance has disappointed her so much! Because he is disabled, everyone unconditionally accommodates and indulges him. No matter how vicious his words are, no one would argue with him, so he becomes increasingly inconsiderate of others’ feelings, throwing tantrums like a willful child.
Seeing her silent and not turning around, Gao Zhongwei knew she was truly angry, and his tone became more humble.
“Meng Tang, don’t be angry with me, okay? Now I have nothing left except you. If you don’t care about me either, I really don’t know what to do! I hate myself so much for losing my temper with you. Perhaps… I should ask Dr. Kang to stop treatment and let me be paralyzed for life!” He violently struck his insensitive thigh.
“No–” Ji Mengtang turned around anxiously, “You cannot give up treatment. So many people have worked hard and gone to great lengths for you. You cannot let down their care!” Especially her – the sacrifices she made for him were beyond his comprehension!
“You don’t want me anymore. Even if I recover, what’s the point?” Gao Zhongwei was like a whining child, tears welling in his eyes.
“How could I not want you? As long as you continue treatment, I will keep visiting you like now. I won’t let you feel lonely!”
“Really? You’ll never leave me? Can you promise to love me forever?”
“Of course! Zhongwei, I love you, and I won’t leave you. I’ll always be by your side, nowhere else.”
“Great! I love you too, Meng Tang!” Gao Zhongwei shouted like a child.
Kang Yansheng had been standing outside the hospital room, silently listening to their conversation.
Inside this door was a loving couple, and he? Just an outsider who couldn’t even step inside.
He gave a bleak smile, turned quietly, hands tucked into the doctor’s white coat pocket, and slowly walked to the other end of the corridor.
