Chapter 557 I’m Afraid of Leaving You instead of Falling Sick

Jiang Ye urged Su Yunjin to go home when it was dark. He was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to return home alone at night.

Su Yunjin walked over to the sickbed. “It’s not safe for me to go home alone. So… I’m not leaving!”

Jiang Ye gazed at her with a helpless smile. “Then are you going to sleep here?”

“Why not?” Su Yunjin shrugged to show that she didn’t care. “It’s warm and safe here. Why can’t I stay here for the night if you can do that?”

Jiang Ye gently poked her forehead. “I stay here because I’m a patient. The key point is that the bed here is so small. Are you sure you can stand it?”

Su Yunjin had changed her lifestyle since Su Hongyuan cut her off financially. She had been used to checking the price tag before buying something and comparing it with other goods. She had learned to do the laundry, to cook, and to do the cleaning.

However, she could sleep comfortably only on big beds.

She felt unsafe sleeping in a bed that was less than 1.8 meters wide. She had once said that she would fall out of it at any time.

However, the sickbed was only one meter wide, looking as small as a sofa. According to her, it shouldn’t be called a bed.

To Jiang Ye’s surprise, Su Yunjin didn’t care about it at all. She closed the drapes and jumped onto the bed. She cuddled up against him as if they were one. “A big bed is a complete waste for us!”

Jiang Ye roved about themselves and found that they had only occupied less than two-thirds of the bed. It would be a waste if it was 1.8 meters wide.

However…

He cast her a bright smile. “A big bed isn’t always a waste, is it?”

Su Yunjin was confused before she understood what Jiang Ye meant. She tapped on his chest with her fist as she widened her eyes.

Jiang Ye held Su Yunjin’s hand to his chest while holding her with one arm. “Sleep, my little fool.”

Su Yunjin beamed with satisfaction. She snuggled up against his chest and closed her eyes.

Su Yunjin didn’t expect that it would be the last night for her to enjoy a good sleep.

The night ended soon, and the dawn conquered the earth again.

Su Yunjin found herself still in Jiang Ye’s arms when she woke up. He was holding her around the waist while cupping the back of her head with the other hand. She was so close to him that she could clearly feel their breaths and heartbeats.

Su Yunjin was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of happiness. She remained there in the same attitude for another while before she decided to get up.

She looked up only to find that Jiang Ye was gazing at her with a smile.

Su Yunjin widened her eyes and asked in surprise, “When did you wake up?”

Jiang Ye gently fondled Su Yunjin’s head with his warm palm. “Just a little earlier than you.”

It seemed that his eyes were full of endless warmth, and his voice was like a gentle breeze in the spring sunshine. Su Yunjin was overwhelmed by contentment, deeply touched.

She thought that it was a kind of happiness to be gazed at like that when she woke up.

However, she wanted more.

Su Yunjin held Jiang Ye’s face in her cupped hands and kissed him hard.

Sure enough, Jiang Ye liked it. He turned over to hold Su Yunjin under him and gave her a deep kiss.

Su Yunjin’s reason told her that they were in the hospital. She pushed Jiang Ye away before she lost her reasoning. “I’m going to buy some breakfast.”

Jiang Ye stared at his cellphone with a significant look. “Go ahead. Anyway… I’m hungry.”

Su Yunjin thought for a moment before she got his point. She opened the drapes while gnawing her lips and ran out of the ward.

It was about 9:00 a.m. by the time they finished their breakfast. A nurse went into the ward when Su Yunjin was about to ask the doctor whether Jiang Ye could leave the hospital or not. The nurse said, “The attending doctor wants Jiang Ye’s family in his office.”

“He must be asking me to go through the discharge formalities!” Su Yunjin kissed Jiang Ye’s forehead. “I’ll be back soon.”

The nurse led Su Yunjin to the attending doctor’s office. She closed the door behind her when she left.

Su Yunjin was still thinking about the discharge at that moment.

She wasn’t aware of anything wrong until the attending doctor said, “Please be seated. You may need some time to accept this.”

Su Yunjin asked in bewilderment, “What’s the matter? Doctor, I’m here to go through the discharge formalities for my boyfriend.”

The attending doctor hesitated for a moment before he said, “I have to tell you something before that.” He took out a brain CT film. “We found something abnormal in Mr. Jiang’s brain.”

“…”

Su Yunjin was in a daze when the doctor told her about Jiang Ye’s rare disease. The doctor said that he would lose consciousness or suddenly faint more and more often from then on. He would even be too weak to take care of himself after another period of time.

Su Yunjin widened her eyes as she grabbed the doctor’s hand helplessly. “Is there any way to treat him? Doctor, please do that. I’ll pay the medical bills no matter how big they are!”

The attending doctor patted Su Yunjin’s hand. “We’re not able to find any cure for now. The best way is to keep him in the hospital so that we can monitor his vital signs and rescue him at any time. By the way, Miss, there’s one more thing you need to know.”

Su Yunjin had an intuition that it was bad news.

Su Yunjin shook her head instinctively. However, she noticed the doctor’s helpless look when she glanced into his eyes.

She realized that she had to accept it, whether it was good news or bad news because no one could help her at that moment.

Su Yunjin finally calmed herself down. The doctor said,

“Miss, I’m very sorry to tell you that your boyfriend will lose consciousness at any time when he becomes weaker. Maybe he will never come to himself once the very day comes.”

He meant that Jiang Ye would never wake up after he fell asleep one day.

Su Yunjin fell apart as if she had received a heavy blow on the head.

“Why? It shouldn’t be like this,” she thought to herself.

She had broken with her family and changed her lifestyle. She wondered why fate had dealt her a severe blow when she was living a better life with Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye had just drawn up his work objective for the next year on Christmas. They had planned to marry in Las Vegas after she graduated. She had thought that they would start a happy family and live together till the end of their days.

Su Yunjin couldn’t understand why a disease would easily come and ruin her happiness without a warning at that moment.

Su Yunjin would have fought against it if Jiang Ye’s disease was visible or tangible. However, she couldn’t do anything about it, and neither could the doctor—her last hope.

The doctor comforted Su Yunjin before he said, “Besides, you have to decide whether to tell the patient about it. I think he has the right to know. But, you may keep it from him for the time being if you think it will affect his mood.”

Su Yunjin received Jiang Ye’s call as she was pondering whether she should tell him about his disease or not.

“Yunjin, why haven’t you come back yet?” Jiang Ye said worriedly. “You’ve been out for an hour.”

Su Yunjin checked the time, and realized that she had been there for a long time, which could arise his suspicion. She said, “There are too many people lining up to pay the fees. I just got out of the elevator. I’m on the way back to your ward!”

Su Yunjin found that Jiang Ye had already packed up when she returned to the ward. She asked with confusion, “Are you going to leave the hospital?”

“Didn’t you go through the discharge formalities for me?” Jiang Ye kneaded Su Yunjin’s cheek. “Come on, let’s go to the supermarket and cook at noon.”

Su Yunjin failed to give a smile. She stopped him when Jiang Ye picked up his baggage.

Jiang Ye realized that something was wrong. He asked, “What’s the matter?”

Su Yunjin opened her mouth and started to weep before she could say anything.

It was the second time he had seen Su Yunjin cry. The last time he saw her cry was when she escaped from China because Su Hongyuan forced her to marry an old man.

Jiang Ye realized that something serious had happened. He wiped away her tears. “What happened? Don’t cry, tell me about it.”

Su Yunjin wept even more bitterly in front of his gentleness. She couldn’t even utter a word.

Jiang Ye held Su Yunjin in his arms and patted her on the back as if he were coaxing a child. “It’s all right. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened.”

“The doctor…” Su Yunjin sobbed, “the doctor said that you…”

The smart Jiang Ye thought, “Su Yunjin cried after returning from my doctor. There must be some bad news about me.”

He released Su Yunjin and calmly said, “Yunjin, don’t cry. We can solve the problem only if you tell me about it.”

Su Yunjin covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

Jiang Ye had never seen her cry so hard like that. He only tried to cheer her up without thinking about himself.

Jiang Ye finally calmed Su Yunjin down after some time and learned from her intermittent words that he was sick.

It was a rare disease.

“Yunjin, I’m not afraid of falling sick.” Jiang Ye held Su Yunjin in his arms and said in an unprecedentedly confused voice, “But I’m afraid of leaving you.”

Su Yunjin had managed to hold back her tears. However, she couldn’t help crying when she heard Jiang Ye’s words, as if they had been parted forever.

“Take it easy.” Jiang Ye patted Su Yunjin on her back to comfort her. “You know, I can go to the doctor when I’m sick. The only thing I need to do next is to trust doctors. They will cure me.”
