Chapter 296: Chapter 295: So Anxious? (5)
Dong Xin Yan’s dark eyes quickly turned, her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, thinking, perhaps she should confess and be done with it?
After all, ignorance is no crime, right? He... should be able to understand, right?
Dong Xin Yan gently closed her eyes, secretly organizing her thoughts. Her red lips parted softly, and she spoke in a tender voice, "Mr. Gu, there’s something I want to tell you, that...".
Dong Xin Yan’s voice paused, and her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenched before she attempted to continue, but before she could, Gu Ningyi’s phone rang.
"Wait a moment."
Gu Ningyi said these two words lightly, then turned and walked towards the bedside table, feeling around it until he found his phone, picked it up, and answered it.
Dong Xin Yan watched Gu Ningyi’s series of actions, a strange feeling slowly rising in her black eyes. Why did she have a sense that Gu Ningyi’s movements seemed somewhat slow and unnatural?
Moreover, when he picked up the phone, it wasn’t a straightforward motion; he fumbled for it, as if... as if he couldn’t see.
Can’t see?
These three words suddenly appeared in her mind, and Dong Xin Yan was shocked, her beautiful eyes widening.
Could it be... that Gu Ningyi’s hospitalization wasn’t simply due to injury, but because... his eyes had gone blind again?
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t believe it and involuntarily raised her eyes to look at him. His black eyes were as deep and dark as ever, like ink, but upon closer inspection, she noticed they were dim and unfocused.
Dong Xin Yan’s dark pupils slightly contracted, and her hands flew to cover her lips in shock.
She didn’t know much about Gu Ningyi’s past blindness, but she did know a bit from Qin Qian, who told her that although surgery had restored his sight, there was a potential risk of relapse, which could result in permanent blindness. So now... had it relapsed?
Oh my god.
No wonder he hadn’t been answering calls or responding to messages these past few days.
She had felt only a slight guilt before, but now her whole heart was starting to feel stifled with a dull ache.
Strangely, why was she feeling so upset? Why was she unwilling to accept this?
She had always been indifferent to Gu Ningyi’s affairs, and besides, she disliked him so much that she should feel happy about his current state, right?
Why...
Dong Xin Yan’s hand unconsciously moved to cover her heart again.
Roughly three minutes passed before Gu Ningyi hung up the phone. Clutching the phone in his hand, he suddenly tightened his grip, the veins on the back of his hand slowly bulging.
His dark eyes turned slowly, landing on Dong Xin Yan’s face, his gaze gradually filled with gloom, along with a sharp aura instantly enveloping him.
Dong Xin Yan was immersed in her peculiar thoughts when suddenly she sensed something off in the atmosphere. Reflexively, she lifted her eyes, immediately colliding with Gu Ningyi’s cold and sinister dark eyes. A flash of terror quickly crossed her eyes, and she unconsciously stepped back.
"Wha... what’s wrong?" Dong Xin Yan’s voice trembled as she spoke.
But Gu Ningyi suddenly stepped towards her, his steps quick and urgent, reaching her in just a few strides. The next second, his large hand unhesitatingly clamped around her neck, his voice, full of anger yet tinged with sadness, hoarsely growled, "Dong Xin Yan, are you in such a hurry?"
