Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Madly Missing Her_1

“No need!” The very next second, she uncomfortably turned over to lie down, pulling the quilt over her body.

Her face seemed to be burning again…

But she strived to maintain a calm demeanor, not letting Dongfang Yu notice anything wrong.

Dongfang Yu’s eyes dimmed, mistaking her actions as a rejection of him.

He pulled up a chair and sat down, introducing each of the prescribed medicines to her.

“You need to take these medicines twice a day. After a week, if you still feel stressed, we’ll reassess your situation.”

Hai Xiaotang expressed her confusion, “But I’m not stressed.”

Dongfang Yu raised his deep, dark eyes, “So how have you been sleeping lately?”

“…” very poorly, she was always struggling to sleep.

Before, she could fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, no matter the time. But now, she found herself suffering from regular bouts of insomnia.

Looking at her, Dongfang Yu knew she was not sleeping well.

“Just because you can sleep, doesn’t mean you’re not stressed. Sometimes, you don’t realise the heavy burden you’re carrying,” he explained softly. “The doctor said your condition is quite serious. You have to relax and rest well.”

Leaning against the head of the bed, Hai Xiaotang murmured, “Perhaps it’s because I’m too worried about grandpa.”

“He’s fine!”

Feeling reassured by his resolute voice, Hai Xiaotang’s mood improved a lot.

Knowing grandpa was fine brought immense comfort to her heart.

“Remember to take all these medications in time when you get home,” reminded Dongfang Yu. Unconsciously, he added more caring words. “If your stomach still hurts, you must tell me…”

“Why did you get gastric disease?” Hai Xiaotang suddenly asked.

Dongfang Yu was caught off guard by her question.

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes fluttered, “I just wondered. After all, you didn’t have stomach troubles before. But that time, you seemed to be in extreme pain…”

Recalling that time, Dongfang Yu thought of the harsh words he had said to her.

He remembered the pain and turbulence beneath his calm fa?ade, seen by her. freewebnøvel.coɱ

He did not want her to know how, in her absence, he’d longed for her like a fool.

Because she didn’t love him, her heart was frozen and silent.

And yet, he was progressively sinking deeper…

His desperate self seemed pitiful and pathetic!

Dongfang Yu genuinely despised his powerless self.

His face sulked and eyes turned cold as he retorted, “Why do you think I got gastric disease?”

Taken aback, Hai Xiaotang asked, “How would I know?”

Yeah, how would she know? There was a time when he felt so terrible he thought death was near.

He couldn’t eat, had to survive on nutrient solution.

He even believed he was going to die.

But even as he faced death, he couldn’t forget her, despite all his efforts to erase her from his memory.

But she was like a drug, impossible to quit…

He hated himself for loving her so much and hated her for being so heartless and ruthless.

And then, he began to hate her. The more he loved, the more he hated. The more he hated, the more he loved.

Until he gathered all the strength he had to recover.

Just when he thought he was about to forget about her, she came back…

Thus, the past six months of agony turned into a joke, not affecting him at all.

All his efforts were in vain…

All wasted effort…

Therefore, at that moment in the apartment, when she saw his vulnerable side, he angrily spat out those harsh words.

But the truth was, after venting out his rage, he became the joke, because he instantly regretted it…
