Chapter 1155: Chapter 1215
And her daughter had never mentioned a boyfriend. Looking at him, he seemed nice, but given the current state of their daughter, they couldn’t expect him to always stay by her side. However, his current attitude was already very commendable.
The Zhou family couple temporarily stayed at Gu Cheng’s house. Zhou Tong tidied up a bit and went back to the hospital with his future brother-in-law, while Zhou family parents stayed home to rest.
As people get older, enduring such a major blow is quite taxing on the body.
On the way, Zhou Tong looked at the man beside him and asked, "Do you love my sister?"
"I do," Gu Cheng answered without hesitation.
"I can see that your feelings for my sister are genuine. I’m just asking you, even if you plan to leave her, don’t do it now. Wait until she’s recovered and then..."
"I plan to marry her," Gu Cheng replied earnestly.
Zhou Tong, "..."
Suddenly, he felt like crying, his lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a word.
It seems he was being petty.
...
Zhou Zhou’s treatment began, and everything went very smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, a month later, Zhou Zhou was transferred to a regular ward.
Qiao Qiqi had the hospital use the world’s top burn medications on her. Her body was mostly scabbed over, and lighter wounds had already peeled. The severe areas still required daily medication.
The situation had greatly improved.
Gu Cheng was at her side every day, refusing to leave for even a moment. Yu CaiCai, Jiang Meng, and Qiao Qiqi split into three groups, ensuring that whenever she was awake, she would see one of them.
Because of the patient companionship of the people around her, Zhou Zhou’s recovery was faster.
Zhou Tong had already been transferred to a high school in the Capital City, and since he was particularly good at his studies, the school was delighted to have him.
The Zhou family parents planned to first visit their old home. The old business had been closed for a while, so they needed to handle that. Now, they felt reassured even if they weren’t there with their daughter.
Zhou Zhou assured her parents not to worry about her, insisting that she still had her brother if anything came up.
Zhou Tong saw his parents off, and he came to his sister’s hospital room to study every day after school. Sometimes he would ask his sister questions, which gave Zhou Zhou something to focus on, helping divert her attention from the pain.
Tonight, Zhou Zhou waited for her brother, but he didn’t show up, glancing outside from time to time.
"Zhou Tong has something to do today, he won’t be coming," Gu Cheng said.
"Oh." Zhou Zhou was taken aback for a moment before responding.
"You’re avoiding me," Gu Cheng earnestly looked at the girl on the hospital bed, her neck scars exposed, looking particularly gruesome.
The only fortunate thing was that the injuries on her face were light, not affecting her appearance.
"Huh? No, you’re overthinking it, Gu Cheng. Actually, you see I’ve almost recovered, you can really go and do your own things, no need to watch over me every day." Zhou Zhou had already decided, she didn’t want to burden Gu Cheng. Once she was discharged, she planned to break up with him.
In her current dilapidated state, how could she still be with him?
"I’m fine. You know Mr. Qiao is my boss. She gave me a long holiday, with pay, so I can stay with you all the time." Gu Cheng didn’t want to expose her little plan; it was impossible for him to leave.
Zhou Zhou, "..."
The itch started again, and she could only resist the urge to scratch, but it was truly torturous.
She didn’t know what her burnt body looked like now. It definitely wouldn’t be pleasant to look at, and she didn’t want to see it. For instance, now, she actually shouldn’t be moving around, just obediently lying there, with everything being taken care of by the nurse.
