Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1685 Fighting Poison With Poison

?

Qiao Xi's heart ached, and her breathing trembled. "The doctor on the ship said that the old patriarch of the Brook family has a way to detoxify the poison. What exactly is it?"

"Fight poison with poison." Qin An frowned. "By giving him another poison, the two poisons will counter each other and slow down the spread of the poison. This method is risky, but as long as he survives it, he can at least keep his life for another ten years. He won't lose his eyesight and mobility."

Qiao Xi said anxiously, "Can't he use my blood? I can—"

"He has already taken the poison." Qin An interrupted Qiao Xi. This was Gu Zheng's choice. He would rather choose a risky path than let Qiao Xi be hurt.

Qiao Xi was instantly stunned. It was as if someone had cut her heart, and her entire body went numb.

"Gu Zheng wants to protect you. He can't become blind, much less crippled. He had no choice but to choose this method."

After Qin An finished speaking, tears fell from the corners of Qiao Xi's eyes. She choked and said, "Since you've already done it, why are you telling me?"

"If I hadn't told you in advance, you would definitely have given Gu Zheng a blood transfusion. However, you've already done it once. No one can guarantee what the consequences will be if you go through it again. Gu Zheng won't let you take that risk, and I won't see you hurt yourself to save him.

"We reached a consensus, and this method was the best we could think of."

Qin An could not help but feel bitter. When he saw Gu Zheng take the bullet for Xi Xi and jump into the sea to save her without hesitation, he knew that Xi Xi had married the right person.

Looking at Qiao Xi's dejected appearance, Qin An smiled and comforted her. "Don't cry. Gu Zheng doesn't want you to be sad either. The most important thing for you now is to recuperate."

"Where is he?"

"He's in the ward next door. He's unconscious."

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, and Qin An did not say anything else. He stood up and left. As soon as he left, he saw her rush toward Gu Zheng's ward.

At this moment, Gu Zheng's clothes were already drenched in sweat. He was wrapped in a thick blanket, but he still felt bone-piercingly cold. It was as if he was in an ice cellar. It was like every inch of his body was covered in cuts, and it was so painful that he could not help but tremble.

Qin An said that the process of fighting poison with poison would be very painful. Gu Zheng was always beaten up and injured when he was young. He was no longer afraid of pain, but he never expected it to hurt this badly. It was so painful that he wished he were dead!

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands landed on his forehead, and he felt a warm breath on his face. Gu Zheng used all his strength to open his eyes and shouted weakly, "Xi Xi."

His voice was extremely hoarse as he was enduring the intense pain. His voice trembled as he looked at her gently with a smile. "I'm sorry I made the decision myself. Don't be angry with me."

Qiao Xi's eyes burned as she bit her lip, not making a sound.

"I can't become a cripple. I said that I would protect you for the rest of my life, and I won't go back on my word." His voice was hoarse like never before. "Even if it's for you, I'll try my best to survive."

Qiao Xi's tears trickled down. Looking at the man's painful expression, she pounced into his arms and sobbed.

"Gu Zheng! What right do you have to hide it from me? You secretly ran to the capital and made a decision with Qin An. Do you still think of me as your wife? Why didn't you tell me?"

Gu Zheng smiled gently.

Qiao Xi wiped her tears on his chest and said hatefully, "If you dare to make a decision behind my back again, I'll ignore you!"

He endured the pain and reached out to touch her smooth and fair cheek.

After the bone-chilling pain, he realized that his vision had recovered and was back to normal. Even without turning on the lights, he could still see Qiao Xi's appearance clearly. This meant he could also protect Qiao Xi at night now.

Back then, his mother probably chose this method to suppress the poison because she could not bear to part with him. She did not want to spend the rest of her life in darkness.

It was the same for Gu Zheng. Perhaps he only had ten years to accompany Qiao Xi, but at the very least, he could accompany her like a normal person for the next ten years. He could travel with her, cook for her, and protect her from harm.

He had to pave a way out for Qiao Xi in these ten years and let her live the rest of her life in peace.

After returning to the ward, Qiao Xi saw a pop-up on her phone: [Shocking! Female Singer Ji Tian Has Been Banned!]

The general content of the news article was that Ji Tian clearly knew that Gu Zheng had a wife, but she still tried her best to pester him and deliberately exposed those photos. Gu Zheng was dissatisfied with her actions, so he canceled the contract between Gu Corporation and her. At the same time, she was suspected of being involved in a murder case and was arrested by the police. The Ji family also announced to the public that they would cut ties with her. Overnight, Ji Tian went from a popular singer to a prisoner.

It had to be said that Gu Zheng's actions were really straightforward!
