Gu Juncheng walked back to the ward with heavy steps, sat next to Lin Qingping, and stared at her face deeply.

She was still asleep. She was very thin. She slept in a quilt so thin that it seemed as if there were no waves. Her face was pale and she looked very quiet.

Gu Juncheng's heart trembled, his pupils dilated with fear, and he gently placed his trembling hands on her wrist. After feeling her beating pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, then held her hand tightly and buried his face in her palm.

Her hand suddenly moved.

He quickly calmed himself down, looked up, and saw her slightly opened eyes.

"Gu Juncheng." She called him softly.

"I'm here." He immediately squeezed her hand, his voice a little hoarse.

"What exactly is wrong with me? Has the doctor told me?" She lowered her eyelids and asked in a low voice.

He smiled and held her hand, "He said he was too tired, malnourished, and anemic. Don't worry, we will be fine after resting for a while, and then we can go back to the island."

Lin Qingping nodded slowly, "Your vacation is not that long, you should go back first."

"It's okay. I've applied for an extended vacation. Don't worry." He said, "Don't worry about me. Just take care of your health."

"Gu Juncheng..." She said hoarsely, "Really, is it just anemia?"

"Yes, of course, you don't believe me either?" He smiled slightly, as if every word he said was true.

"Okay..." Lin Qingping agreed and closed his eyes again.

He is lying to her...

She just heard it all...

The doctor said that her disease was difficult to cure with current technology and there was almost no hope, and asked the family to be prepared...

The last time she was seriously ill was more than thirty years later.

At that time, doctors said it was difficult to treat and that they would pay for it. It was only the 1980s...

In fact, she should have no regrets. She earned this life. She has already passed away. Moreover, she has made good arrangements for everyone in this life.

The second sister is successful in her studies and has a happy marriage; Zhiyuan is a good student and has Gu Juncheng by his side, so he should not repeat the same path as in his previous life; she doesn’t know how the eldest sister and Xiaomai lived in their previous lives, but they are rich and independent in this life; and she didn’t even recognize He Qiancheng and the others in her previous life, but she has made proper arrangements for them in this life; Zhong Xiaoxiao and her sister-in-law’s family in her previous life will all have a bright future; even Gu Juncheng did not sacrifice himself and has a bright future. She knows that his ideals will surely come true, because when she dies, our country will be very strong…

Just a palm bead...

The palm bead was the biggest variable in her life, and she couldn't bear to give it up...

She really wanted to accompany her as she grew up.

Her eyes began to feel hot gradually, and she was afraid that she would cry and be seen by Gu Juncheng.

"Gu Juncheng..." She sobbed softly.

"I'm here." He approached her and leaned over. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

Yes, it is very painful, but it is just that I feel very uncomfortable in my heart...

"Gu Juncheng, what is Zhangzhu doing? I miss Zhangzhu." She missed her daughter madly, thinking about how she called her mother softly. Was it true that Zhangzhu would no longer have a mother to call her mother from now on?

Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken, "Gu Juncheng, I want to go home, I want to see the palm beads..."

"Lin Qingping, you are sick now and can't go home yet." He persuaded her patiently.

"Didn't you say I was just malnourished? Just anemic? Why can't I go home?" she asked him tearfully.

He was startled by the question, but then he smiled again, "Yes, but don't you faint often? What if you fall down at home and get hurt? Be a good boy, okay? We'll go home when you're fully recovered."

He has never been like this before, it's very abnormal...

The despair in her heart surged more and more, and she choked and said, "But I miss Zhangzhu. I really miss her so much."

"Then I'll bring her here tomorrow, okay?" He spoke softly, as if begging her.

Lin Qingping was willful for a short time, but after he said that, she calmed down. What was Zhangzhu doing here? This is a hospital, there are all kinds of diseases, and Zhangzhu is still so young...

"Forget it." She sniffed, "Don't come. I'm just saying, children have poor immunity, don't keep coming to the hospital."

Gu Juncheng hugged her gently and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't be sad, and don't think too much. Let's listen to the doctor and treat the disease well. Then, we will naturally see the palm beads. The faster we get better, the sooner we will see the palm beads."

Now he is really 100% patient.

She has been married to him for so long, and he is busy most of the time. How could he have so much time to coax her like this?

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel even sadder.

"Don't cry. I'll sing a song for you, okay? Or do you want to hear me play the harmonica?" He wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes bit by bit.

Are you treating her like a pearl in your palm?

But she doesn't need it.

"No, I want to sleep." She pushed his face away.

He seemed a little helpless, so he said, "Okay, then you sleep for a while."

Although he was not sleepy, Lin Qingping was still drowsy and fell asleep again.

She didn't know how long she spent like this. She was in the hospital getting IV drips every day. She didn't know what was in the drips, but she felt even worse after the drips and vomited all over the place. It wasn't until one day when she saw her falling hair that she suddenly realized what medicine she was taking.

She quietly picked up her hair and held it in her hand. She never asked Gu Juncheng any questions about her illness, nor did she mention the palm beads again.

Zhiyuan actually came to the hospital to see her every day. Most of the time she was sleeping or unconscious, but there were also times when she was awake. She didn't know whether Zhiyuan knew what illness she had, but every time Zhiyuan came, he acted as if she just had a cold and accompanied her in a relaxed and cheerful manner.

Maybe everyone is acting, and she is also acting...

What she didn't know was that every time Zhiyuan left the hospital, he was in tears.

Once, when he got home, he couldn't hold back his tears. Zhang Zhu stretched out her little hands to wipe his tears and blew on his face with her pouty mouth, "Brother, don't cry, Zhu Zhu, blow, no, it hurts..."

Zhiyuan hugged Zhangzhu, and his tears dripped into Zhangzhu's clothes.

Little Zhu, who still didn't know anything, would only ask him "Mom, Dad?" every night before going to bed.

I don’t know where my parents went.

Gu Youlian would tell her, "Mom and Dad have gone to work and won't be back for a few days."

Zhangzhu will cry too.

From the time she was born until now, she has never been away from her parents. Even when her father has to go out to work and is not at home, her mother is always by his side.

He cried almost every night. When he was tired of crying, he fell asleep in Gu Youlian's arms.
