Chapter 785 Please, Don’t Sleep

The ring slipped from Shen Yuechuan’s fingertips like a falling meteor. It reflected the dazzling light and finally lay on the carpet silently.

Like the ring, Shen Yuechuan also fell down without warning.

Everything happened so suddenly. For a moment, Xiao Yunyun’s world fell into a dead silence. She looked at Shen Yuechuan, who had fallen down, and her mind went blank.

But it only lasted for a moment.

The next second, she came to her senses, and simultaneously, her world also exploded.

Her voice cracked and she screamed, “Yuechuan!”

She rushed up crazily to hold Shen Yuechuan, but she hadn’t recovered the strength in her hand. In the end, she was brought down by Shen Yuechuan, and they fell to the ground together.

“Boom!”

She seemed to hear the sound coming from h.e.l.l. It was so heavy, like a solid hammer, mercilessly hitting her heart.

Who was to tell her why Shen Yuechuan fainted?

“Shen Yuechuan, don’t frighten me!”

Xiao Yunyun held Shen Yuechuan in her arms and shook his body hard, but he didn’t respond. His face was pale, and his eyes were tightly closed. If it weren’t for his heartbeat and temperature, Xiao Yunyun would almost suspect that he had no vital signs.

“Shen Yuechuan, don’t kid me. Open your eyes and look at me!”

Xiao Yunyun kept calling Shen Yuechuan’s name like a lost person calling her companions in a voice full of helplessness and despair. However, Shen Yuechuan did not respond to her, nor did he open his eyes to look at her.

“Yuechuan, don’t frighten me. Open your eyes, please.”

With the last glimmer of hope, Xiao Yunyun pleaded with him. But this time, she really couldn’t wake Shen Yuechuan up.

She was a doctor, and her professional intuition told her that Shen Yuechuan was ill.

But how could it be possible?

After getting hurt, she had been living with Shen Yuechuan. He had always been normal, and he always took good care of her. How could he be a patient?

He was Shen Yuechuan, who was an omnipotent man. How could such a man get ill?

He had said that he would always be with her and marry her and that they would have a daughter as lovely as Xiangyi. How could he get ill?

Xiao Yunyun was unwilling to believe it, but Shen Yuechuan had really collapsed. All of this happened in front of her.

“Shen Yuechuan!”

The roaring fear rushed to Xiao Yunyun. She was overwhelmed by it and her heart seemed to be pulled out and hung high in the air. Her tears kept falling on Shen Yuechuan’s face.

Even so, Shen Yuechuan still did not open his eyes.

By then Song Jiqing, Lu Boyan, and the others had also come over.

Song Jiqing kept checking Shen Yuechuan’s condition and finally shook his head at Lu Boyan. “Call an ambulance.”

Lu Boyan took out his mobile phone. The bar was adequately heated, but his hands were not warm at all. After the hospital answered his call, he almost roared and ordered the ambulance to arrive within ten minutes.

Su Yicheng tried to help Xiao Yunyun up, but she immediately pushed him away.

Xiao Yunyun held Shen Yuechuan tightly, kept calling his name, and begged him to wake up.

Shen Yuechuan did not respond at all. Xiao Yunyun cried at the top of her lungs.

Usually, Shen Yuechuan could not bear to see her cry. But this time, why was Shen Yuechuan still unwilling to open his eyes to look at her when she was crying so sadly?

“Yuechuan,” Xiao Yunyun said in a trembling voice, “don’t sleep. Please don’t…”

Many of the witnesses didn’t know what was going on, so they could only stand by in a daze.

Song Jiqing rushed back with a medical kit and said calmly, “Pull Yunyun away and help Yuechuan up.”

Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan helped Shen Yuechuan up, while Su Yicheng was responsible for pulling Xiao Yunyun away.

Xiao Yunyun was afraid that she would lose Shen Yuechuan, so she was unwilling to let go of him. Su Yicheng could only pick her up and avoid touching her wound at the same time.

Su Jian’an did not even calm down until now when faced with such a situation. She asked Lu Boyan, “How could this be? What happened to Yuechuan?”

Although the men present were fl.u.s.tered, there was no panic in their actions at all. It was obvious that they knew why Shen Yuechuan had suddenly fainted.

“Yuechuan is ill,” said Lu Boyan. “I’ll tell you the whole story when we get to the hospital. You take care of Yunyun first.”

Su Jian’an tried to prevent her voice from trembling. “Okay.”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t know what was going on at all. She just wanted to go back to Shen Yuechuan and kept struggling in Su Yicheng’s arms. “Cousin, let me go, let me go!”

While struggling, she saw Song Jiqing open the medical kit, take out a disposable syringe as well as an injection from it, and give Shen Yuechuan a hypodermic injection.

“What are you doing?” Xiao Yunyun cried and shouted, “Let go of Yuechuan! Let him go!”

She did not know anything.

She didn’t know why Shen Yuechuan had fainted. She didn’t know what Song Jiqing had injected into Shen Yuechuan. She didn’t know why everything had turned out like this.

According to her plan, things like this weren’t supposed to happen. Instead, Shen Yuechuan should have agreed, and then they would have held a grand celebration party.

Finally, it would be her wedding with Shen Yuechuan.

Now, she was afraid.

She was afraid that her happiness was gone, and she was even more afraid that Shen Yuechuan would leave her.

They had just started dating, and they still had a lot of things to do. How could Shen Yuechuan leave her?

Su Jian’an walked up to her and tried her best to refrain her voice from trembling. “Brother, let go of Yunyun first.”

As soon as Su Yicheng released her, Xiao Yunyun was about to rush to Shen Yuechuan. Su Jian’an stopped her in time. “Yunyun, Yuechuan is ill. Song Jiqing is a doctor. He is certainly helping Yuechuan.”

“Cousin.” Xiao Yunyun’s tears fell down her cheeks. She looked at Su Jian’an helplessly. “Why did Shen Yuechuan suddenly fall ill? He used to be fine and sound. Why did it happen to him? Is this a joke?”

“Yunyun, I hope it’s just a joke.” Su Jian’an hugged Xiao Yunyun tightly and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. Your cousin-in-law is here, and Dr. Song is here too. Yuechuan will be fine. Calm down first. The most important thing for us now is to send Yuechuan to the hospital.”

It was not a joke. Shen Yuechuan was really ill.

Xiao Yunyun accepted the fact with difficulty and slowly calmed down, but she couldn’t stop her tears no matter how hard she tried.

She said in a cracked voice, “Cousin, I want to accompany Yuechuan.”

No matter what happened, no matter what she could do, she must stay with Shen Yuechuan.

Seeing that Xiao Yunyun had calmed down a little, Su Jian’an nodded and let go of her.

Xiao Yunyun had never been so afraid in her life. She almost stumbled over and suddenly flung herself to Shen Yuechuan. She grabbed his hand helplessly and said, “Shen Yuechuan…”

This time, Shen Yuechuan did not kiss away her tears with a smile as usual or touch her head while telling her not to cry.

He lay on the sofa with his eyes closed and his face being pale. His palms, which used to be dry and warm, were almost frighteningly cold at the moment.

Xiao Yunyun put them in her hands, trying to warm them up. But in the end, she desperately found that the little bit of warmth from her hands was just a drop in the bucket for Shen Yuechuan, whose temperature was rapidly falling.

Even if she was a doctor, she could not save Shen Yuechuan.

Xiao Yunyun’s eye sockets were hot and swollen, and the teardrops fell on the back of Shen Yuechuan’s hand.

But this time, Shen Yuechuan really wouldn’t feel worried about her.

Song Jiqing pulled out the syringe and pressed the needle holes on Shen Yuechuan’s arm with cotton. He turned his head and saw Xiao Yunyun drowned in tears. Before he could say anything to her, the ambulance had arrived. He and Mu Sijue helped Shen Yuechuan out.

“Yunyun, get up first.” Lu Boyan helped Xiao Yunyun up, took off his coat, and put it on her. “Come to the hospital with us.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded in a panic, caught up with Song Jiqing and Mu Sijue, and got into the ambulance.

The doctors who came with the ambulance had already given intravenous fluids to Shen Yuechuan and helped him put on an oxygen mask. Four or five doctors in the ambulance surrounded him.

Xiao Yunyun didn’t, therefore, feel at ease. On the contrary, she felt more afraid.

There were so many doctors, and each of them had the aura and calmness of top experts. This could only show that not only was Shen Yuechuan seriously ill, but his illness was not simple at all.

With tears in her eyes, Xiao Yunyun saw a familiar face—

“Henry!”

It was that neurologist who had been studying a certain rare genetic disease since his retirement. When she was recovering in the private hospital, she had accidentally seen him chat with Shen Yuechuan.

Back then, she was too far away from Shen Yuechuan, so she didn’t hear what they were talking about. Later, when she asked Shen Yuechuan about it, he replied that Henry was doing research in the hospital, and he had just talked with him about the progress.

At that time, she had vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the way Henry looked at Shen Yuechuan, but there was nothing unusual about Shen Yuechuan, so she didn’t take it seriously.

Now that she thought about it, the way Henry looked at Shen Yuechuan was indeed how a doctor looked at his patient.

Further thinking of Shen Yuechuan’s father’s early death, a certain possibility came to Xiao Yunyun’s mind. She felt as if she had been struck by something, and she was completely hollow in an instant and became an empty sh.e.l.l.

She looked at Lu Boyan with fear and uncertainty. “Cousin-in-law, how did Shen Yuechuan’s father die? Did Mom tell you?”

Lu Boyan saw the fear in the bottom of Xiao Yunyun’s eyes. He couldn’t bear to tell Xiao Yunyun that she was right.

Xiao Yunyun had already guessed the answer from Lu Boyan’s hesitance to speak.

After the old expert retired, because he failed to cure one of his patients when he was young, he had been studying the patient’s illness, which made her admire him very much.

However, the patient who had made Henry regret his incompetence for the rest of his life turned out to be Shen Yuechuan’s father.

As for Shen Yuechuan… he had inherited his father’s illness.

Therefore, the reason for Henry’s trip to City A was that he wanted to continue to study the genetic disease and cure Shen Yuechuan.

Not only was Shen Yuechuan ill, but he had received the treatment for a long time, but she knew nothing about it.

In an instant, Xiao Yunyun felt as if she was falling into an icehouse so that her hands and feet quickly cooled down. Her originally white face became as pale as a sheet of paper, and even her lips also showed no trace of red.

“Impossible.” Xiao Yunyun shook her head. “It’s impossible!”

“Miss Xiao.” Henry suddenly called Xiao Yunyun, “I know that you’re Yuechuan’s girlfriend. He mentioned you before.”

Henry’s tone and expression were very kind. It was obvious that he had something to say to Xiao Yunyun.

However, Xiao Yunyun wanted to cover her ears and refuse to listen to Henry, just as she refused to believe that Shen Yuechuan had inherited her father’s illness.

What she was afraid of was not the illness, but that Shen Yuechuan would leave this world when he was very young, just like his father…
