The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei rested her head on Gu Juexi’s chest, hearing no heartbeat. Her head and heart felt empty, as if all her energy had been drawn out of her.

The army doctor stood behind Ye Yuwei but didn’t know what to do to make her feel better.

While the army doctors looked at each other helplessly, the doctor-in-charge noticed that Ye Yuwei was slipping down from Gu Juexi’s chest and quickly reached out to catch her. “Sister-in-law…”

Ye Yuwei had lost consciousness, either from the blow of losing Gu Juexi or from her wound that had become infected.

“Prepare for the rescue,” said the doctor-in-charge as he carried Ye Yuwei and put her down on another bed.

Suddenly, the heart monitoring device began to beep loudly.

“Doctor Wu,” the assisting army doctor yelled when he saw the electrocardiogram active again.

The doctor-in-charge put Ye Yuwei on the bed and looked at Gu Juexi. He then looked at the assisting army doctor and said, “Her leg is badly infected. Prepare for amputation surgery.”

The assisting army doctor was stunned. Amputation?

The assisting army doctor looked at the wound on Ye Yuwei’s leg. It was a serious wound, but…

The heart monitoring device was beeping even louder now.

The doctor-in-charge observed the wound on Ye Yuwei’s leg and made sure that she had only passed out because of sadness before going back to Gu Juexi and looking at the electrocardiogram that had gone back to normal.

“Couldn’t bear to leave your wife alone after all, eh?” Doctor Wu chuckled as he told his assistant to get the defibrillator ready.

He took the defibrillator but before he could apply the electrode pads to Gu Juexi’s chest, someone grabbed his wrist.

“Don’t you dare, Wu Zhong,” rasped Gu Juexi hoarsely, his eyes not even open yet.

The army doctor heard Gu Juexi and heaved a sigh of relief.

“I will take your legs if you take hers,” Gu Juexi threatened, but his tone was too soft to be intimidating.

The army doctor passed the defibrillator to his assistant and looked at the Gu Juexi who was still lying on the bed.

“You would have already been gone anyway. Don’t worry, sister-in-law only passed out due to excessive sadness.”

Gu Juexi didn’t have the energy to fight with the army doctor, and fell into a deep sleep after making sure that Ye Yuwei was alright.

“Doctor Wu,” the assistant doctor called out.

“He is fine now, don’t worry,” said Doctor Wu as he leaned against the ambulance, “rumor has it that Gu Juexi has only one weakness, and it looks like the rumor was real. Ye Yuwei might be the only one who can summon him back from death.”

“So, earlier…” the assistant doctor glanced at Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei who were lying down on either side of the ambulance. What Ye Yuwei said earlier was so touching that he had almost cried, and Gu Juexi did seem to be responsive to what she said.

“Safety. It was her safety,” said Doctor Wu as he patted the assistant doctor’s shoulder, “you are too young to understand all this.”

The ambulance drove all the way to the camp. Doctor Wu ordered someone to carry Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei into the tent and went to report to the old Captain.

Meanwhile, in Ye Yuwei’s apartment at Tin City, Wen Shan was eating prawn crackers while looking at the data on Xiao Yaojing’s computer. “What does it mean?” asked Wen Shan.

“Gu Juexi was wrong. The housing value in Tin City didn’t crash, maybe someone was controlling it in the dark?” Xiao Yaojing mumbled while trying to contact Wen Tao.
