Chapter 448: Why Should I Give Up The Hope Of Living?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing that Old Madam Gu had woken up, Gu Zheng suddenly looked up.

Qiao Xi’s heart trembled. Old Madam Gu had woken up?

She was seriously ill and unconscious. They had looked for countless doctors to treat her, but even those doctors were helpless. They could only allow her to fall into a deep sleep from time to time, hoping that she would wake up.

Old Madam Gu would wake up once every two days in the beginning. Now, she would only wake up once a week or even longer. Furthermore, she could only be awake for two to three hours each time. Hence, this period of time was extremely precious.

Song Shijing was a little excited. “But Old Madam Gu has been awake for three hours this time. She said she wanted to see you.”

Gu Zheng’s thin lips parted slightly. “Come! Let’s go to the old residence!”

Qiao Xi put on the brooch, and the two of them rushed out of the door.

After getting into the car, she couldn’t help but ask, “Gu Zheng, actually, the poison in Grandma’s body isn’t incurable. Although my grandpa has gone missing, my teacher and third brother’s medical skills are also very advanced. They might have a way.”

Gu Zheng pursed his lips. “Grandma doesn’t want to.”

Qiao Xi frowned. “Why?”

‘When she met Old Madam Gu previously, she had also mentioned this matter. At that time, Old Madam Gu was concerned about her words and did not directly answer her question.

Qiao Xi really didn’t understand. The old madam already knew that she would frequently fall unconscious and her condition was getting worse. She clearly knew that she could still be saved, so why didn’t she fight for it?

Although her grandpa had gone missing, her third brother’s medical skills were also very brilliant. Even if he couldn’t completely cure the poison, he could still control the illness. Furthermore, as long as Old Madam Gu gave the order, Gu Zheng would spend a lot of money to invite the world’s famous

doctors no matter what.

So… why was she giving up on her own life?

Gu Zheng’s heart trembled as he slowly closed his eyes.

It had been a while since the poison acted up. It was all because he drank Qiao Xi’s blood that the poison in his body was temporarily suppressed.

However, once the descendant of the divine physician used their blood to save someone, they would suffer a certain degree of backlash. If Gu Zheng continued to use Qiao Xi’s blood to detoxify the poison in his body, then her body would become weaker day by day.

If the person who was being treated was about to die, the descendant of the divine physician would be severely injured and might even die on the spot.

He didn’t know what his outcome would be. It might be blindness, paralysis, or even death. Gu Zheng was utterly uncertain, but no matter what it was, he wouldn’t allow Qiao Xi to take this risk.

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes. “I don’t know. Grandma has her reasons for doing this. She doesn’t want to receive treatment. It could also be that your grandfather had already tried to treat her back then.”

Qiao Xi nodded and felt that it was possible as well. A person whom even the divine physician was unable to save was a lost cause.

However, Qiao Xi still felt that something was off. Even if her grandfather said that there was no hope, how could a person easily give up the hope of living? Even if it was extremely unlikely, they should still try!

However, it was not that Old Madam Gu had lost hope. She simply did not want to talk about this matter. Why was that so?

At the Gu family’s old residence.

Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi went straight to Old Madam Gu’s residence as soon as they entered. She liked the quietness, so she lived in the courtyard at the back of the old residence. The scenery was beautiful, and no one would disturb her most of the time, so she was happy to have peace and quiet.

Just as the two of them were about to enter, Old Madam Gu’s personal servant stopped Qiao Xi and said respectfully, “Young Madam, I’m really sorry. Old Madam Gu wants to speak to President Gu alone.”

Qiao Xi nodded.

Gu Zheng walked into the house. Old Madam Gu opened her tired eyes. “Zheng’er…”

“Grandma.”

Old Madam Gu sighed. “Zheng’er, I only found out today that the lady you married is your junior. I think you must really like her.”

Gu Zheng replied without hesitation, “Yes, I like her.”

“Tknow you. You have her in your heart, so even if you risk losing your sight and life, you won’t let her help you detoxify the poison in your body, right?”

Gu Zheng felt bitter in his heart.

Old Madam Gu’s eyes reddened as she recalled the past. She said helplessly, “Zheng’er, there’s no one in this world who understands your feelings better than I do. If the person you love the most loses her life in order to save you, you’ll be in pain even if you live..”
