Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Knowing He Was Hospitalized

Gu Wei could now manage to get out of bed and walk a few steps.

Qiu Yurou had custom-made him a special walker, pushing the walker allowed him to move forward slowly.

When he felt bored, he would grope his way out of bed and take a few steps.

Though he couldn’t see or hear, he had undergone solitary confinement training in the military, and as long as he walked around a room once, he could sense where obstacles were based on his feelings.

However, his calves would often spasm and cramp.

Like now, after only walking two meters, a piercing pain radiated through his calf muscles, causing him so much pain that he nearly lost his balance. Fortunately, a pair of hands supported him on the side.

Her strength wasn’t strong, quite similar to that of Su Meixi.

It must be her.

Gu Wei felt a warm sensation in his heart. Once he stabilized himself, he reached out to embrace her, but she dodged away.

Could it be that it was not Ah Xi, but a nurse?

He wanted to call out to Ah Xi, but only managed to open his mouth slightly, and his vocal cords vibrated a bit.

Since he couldn’t hear, even if he spoke, he couldn’t hear his own voice.

This was why many deaf people were also mute, as their world was silent, making speaking a one-sided output without any real need.

He leaned on the walker again and began to move forward bit by bit.

Midway, his calf cramped again, but he clenched his teeth and endured it.

Although the pain caused him to sweat, he did not make a noise.

Once the bout of pain subsided, he continued moving forward.

Following the scent of flowers, he arrived at the garden on this floor and smelled the fragrance of gardenia.

He reached out and touched a bunch of lush flowers, carefully picking two small blooms to put in his pocket before slowly moving back.

Later, he felt two people come up anxiously to support him, presumably because they saw him walking far and were worried about his safety.

He did not accept their help, preferring to move back on his own.

He already knew where his bed was and understood the direction he needed to go.

Once he sat down, he felt sweat all over his body.

Although he had only walked less than ten meters, it had exhausted all his strength.

He mocked himself inwardly: so useless.

With this rate of recovery, when would he be able to return to the military?

The two people who had come to support him were still in front of him, and he could sense their presence.

One of them carried the scent of gardenia.

He took out the two gardenia flowers he had just picked from his pocket and handed them to her.

It was his Ah Xi.

He wanted to thank her for her care during this time.

Man Yu looked at the gardenia flowers in Gu Wei’s hands, completely stunned.

This man, steel and tough, endured the pain without a whimper, yet just now, he had picked flowers for her.

In that instant, she felt a twinge at her nose.

Qiu Yurou smiled from the side, “Manman, Gu Wei is giving you flowers, quickly take them.”

Man Yu accepted them and looked up at Gu Wei.

He smiled at her.

That smile made flowers bloom in the depths of Man Yu’s heart.

…

In the evening, Man Yu and Qiu Yurou dined in the hospital room.

“Godmother, I have something to tell you,” Man Yu said.

Qiu Yurou glanced at Gu Wei on the bed and replied, “It’s alright, Gu Wei can’t hear, just speak here.”

Man Yu subconsciously glanced at Gu Wei.

Her voice became firm, “Godmother, I saw Su Meixi yesterday.”

“What?” Qiu Yurou paused, nearly dropping her chopsticks.

“Where is she? Did you see clearly? Are you sure you didn’t mistake someone else?”

Man Yu said, “I should not have mistaken her, I’ve seen her twice now, the first time she was wearing a white coat, possibly working as a doctor in this hospital.”

Not reassured, Qiu Yurou immediately said, “I’ll check it out.”

She had connections in this hospital and promptly had someone check the recent list of transferred doctors, which indeed included Su Meixi’s name.

Qiu Yurou turned pale.

Sometimes fate is so magical; even though Su Meixi did not know Gu Wei was in this hospital, she had somehow ended up being transferred here.

But Qiu Yurou refused to leave it to fate.

She tore up the list, then said to Man Yu, “Let’s transfer Gu Wei to another hospital.”

“Where?” Man Yu asked.

“To the UK.”

“Can he… he’s a soldier, is he allowed to go abroad?”

“He’s going for treatment, as long as there is a guarantor, I can handle all the procedures.”

Man Yu looked at Gu Wei, then put her hand in her coat pocket.

She touched the two gardenia flowers.

Her heart felt as if it had been struck, becoming extremely hard.

“Alright, let’s transfer him immediately!”

…

In Feng City.

Weina was already preparing to open a restaurant.

Bi Yuanhang had used his connections to secure her a spot in front of a hospital. This store was originally a fruit shop, thriving initially, but since the pandemic, the hospital had prohibited visiting patients, and although restrictions were eased now, the inpatient department, for easier management, still did not allow visitors.

The fruit shop held on for a while but couldn’t manage any longer and transferred ownership.

After inspecting, Weina discovered that although there were many small diners by the hospital, most served Southern cuisine, with few offering Northern dishes. If she opened up, her place might become popular as well.

In the midst of her busyness, her phone rang.

It was Xiao Ding.

Since their last conversation about Gu Wei when Weina had not contacted him again, why was Xiao Ding calling now?

“Xiao Ding, how have you been recently?” Weina answered the phone and took the chance to clean some trash out into the garbage bin.

“What?”

Weina turned pale upon hearing Xiao Ding’s words.

…

Su Meixi also received a call from Weina.

“Xiao Xi, there’s an urgent matter, I’ll keep it brief,” Weina said.

Though she claimed she would be brief, her explanation was anything but short.

“Gu Wei was on a major operation recently, it was highly confidential, so many are unaware of their situation, including Xiao Ding. However, Xiao Ding has been inquiring about Gu Wei recently, and yesterday, he happened to learn that Gu Wei was injured. Out of desperation, he persistently sought information and finally discovered, in his relentless insistence, that Gu Wei was hospitalized in Hu City, remember this, the hospital is called Xin Ren Hospital…”

Su Meixi’s phone suddenly dropped to the ground.

Several thoughts connected in her mind – Professor Chen mentioned a significant person was being transferred to their hospital, a military officer.

Professor Chen said he had been called in for a specialist consultation.

She thought she saw Man Yu.

All these pieces…

She immediately set aside her work, intending to find Professor Chen.

However, she hadn’t yet recovered from a leg injury, and in her haste, she fell over.

A colleague saw her fall and moved to help her.

She declined any help, insisting on getting up, then limped away.

Her colleague was puzzled and muttered, “What’s the urgency? She’s disregarding her own life!”
