Chapter 325: Chapter 324 I Want You to Disappear (4)
Dong Xin Yan’s words carried a double meaning, representing not only the end of her week as a caregiver but also the complete end of her entanglement with Gu Ningyi over the past three months.
From now on, he would walk his sunny path, and she would cross her single-log bridge, never to intersect again.
Thinking this, she didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly ached, and Dong Xin Yan instinctively held her Heart, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
Zhou Yalin suddenly fell silent.
Dong Xin Yan took care of Gu Ningyi, who was blind, but Gu Ningyi didn’t know who she was.
This scene was strangely familiar, familiar to the point that her Heart started pounding wildly.
Gu Ningyi always rejected strangers and didn’t like people getting close to him, especially women, but Dong Xin Yan wasn’t someone he had called himself, yet he let her stay and take care of him.
So...
Could it be that Gu Ningyi felt something familiar in Dong Xin Yan, so he didn’t reject her?
If so... if Gu Ningyi were to find out that Dong Xin Yan was the one taking care of him now, would he... remember the past?
He was already suspicious of the past, and if he were to discover any clues, everything she had painstakingly tried to hide from back then would be exposed.
More than Dong Xin Yan remembering something, she was more afraid of Gu Ningyi finding out anything.
No, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t continue taking care of Gu Ningyi, even if there was a one-in-a-thousand chance, she didn’t dare to take the risk.
Zhou Yalin widened her eyes, staring at Dong Xin Yan, and asked with extreme seriousness, word by word: "Dong Xin Yan, are you sure that Ning Yi doesn’t know it’s you taking care of him?"
Is she sure? Dong Xin Yan’s dark pupils turned helplessly, and the scene from last night unconsciously surfaced in her mind, Gu Ningyi gently caressing her face, his deep voice trembling slightly, asking her, who are you, one phrase at a time.
He was already suspicious, it’s just that... she didn’t know if he was suspicious of her.
Dong Xin Yan’s lips gently moved, wanting to answer truthfully, but when her mouth opened, she hesitated.
Zhou Yalin was already worried about her. If she told her, she would only become more anxious, so better forget it, after all, everything was just her speculation, maybe Gu Ningyi wasn’t suspicious of her at all.
With that thought, Dong Xin Yan slowly opened her lips and replied: "No."
Zhou Yalin fixed her gaze on Dong Xin Yan for several seconds, then spoke, "Alright, I believe you, I believe what you said is true. But..."
Pausing for a moment, Zhou Yalin pressed her lips together and continued: "Dong Xin Yan, I hope you will leave now, end everything right now, and from now on, disappear from Ning Yi’s sight."

These days, perhaps because of a change in mood, Gu Ningyi’s eye condition was gradually improving.
This morning when he opened his eyes, he was able to see a blurry light, reflexively glancing at the small bed, wanting to see if the person on the bed was the one he was longing for.
Sadly, he still couldn’t see clearly.
He felt a sense of disappointment, yet also a bit of relief.
Disappointed that he couldn’t see, not knowing whether she was Yalin or Xinyan. Relieved that he couldn’t see, so he could still hold onto a small hope, pretending that she was Xinyan, just there by his side.

When Zhou Yalin pushed open the door to the ward again, Gu Ningyi had already returned to the ward. At this moment, he was leaning on the hospital bed, quietly listening to the doctor beside him speak.
