Gu Ci understood it. No wonder they fell down the mountain. Lu Zhiyuan could teleport, but he was still so badly injured. It turned out to be because of her. She had been carrying him all the way. How much pain Lu Zhiyuan must be in.

No wonder he frequently coughed up blood.

Her touch was, in fact, his curse.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Gu Ci asked sternly. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

If she had known, she wouldn’t have recklessly approached him, causing him more pain. If she had known, she wouldn’t have cclose to him again, no matter how much she missed him; she would have restrained her desires.

Why didn’t Lu Zhiyuan tell Gu Ci?

First, he didn’t want Gu Ci to blherself, and second, even the excruciating pain couldn’t stop him from wanting to see Gu Ci.

If they truly never saw each other again in this lifetime, it would be more torture than this ordeal.

Gu Ci understood the look in his eyes. They were both fools; she was a madwoman, and he was a fool. They were truly a match made in heaven. Gu Ci had blamed heaven, blamed the earth, and resented the unfairness of the gods. Now, she only blamed herself for why she had met Lu Zhiyuan.

If they hadn’t met, Lu Zhiyuan wouldn’t be suffering like this.

“Lu Zhiyuan, was it the sin the previous life?” Gu Ci asked in anguish. “Was every day we spent together so painful for you?”

“Don’t lie to me; I want to hear the truth.”

Lu Zhiyuan sighed and nodded. “Every day after we got married was a heart-wrenching pain for me. But even so, I never once thought of letting go of your hand.”

Gu Ci felt a deep pain in her heart. She retreated in agony, and Lu Zhiyuan took a few steps towards her. Gu Ci shouted, “Don’t cany closer! Are you a fool? If it hurts, why didn’t you say so?”

“Cici…”

“Lu Zhiyuan, I…” Gu Ci didn’t know that the person she had been holding in the palm of her hand all along was so fragile. If she had known earlier…

If she had known, would she have acted so recklessly?

“Lu Zhiyuan, from now on, 1 will stay far away from you,” Gu Ci concealed her pain. “If there is a way to break this curse, you tell me. If I die, can this curse be broken?”

“No!” Lu Zhiyuan said firmly, “As long as I’m alive, you won’t die. Cici, death won’t solve this curse. It will only make you cycle through it repeatedly. Don’t worry; 1 will spend my whole life finding a solution.”

He was afraid that Gu Ci would do something foolish.

Gu Ci was afraid that he would suffer so much, but she continued to bear it alone. Why was fate so unfair? They both wanted to love each other and protect each other with all their might, but they could only live with regret, unable to be together.

She had already accepted the fact of being separated from Lu Zhiyuan, trying to heal herself while holding onto a glimmer of hope that someday, both she and Lu Zhiyuan could have their wishes ctrue. But if the price of Lu Zhiyuan being with her was to endure torture, would she still be willing?

No!

She wouldn’t!

She hoped that Lu Zhiyuan would live a healthy and safe life. As long as he was well, it was more important than anything else.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know… because of me, you’re in so much pain, Third Brother,” Gu Ci looked at him with sadness. “If 1 had known earlier…”

Stay far away from you!

Just watching you from a distance would be enough.

If she had known about his pain in the previous life, she wouldn’t have gone to find him when she cback. She would have been content to watch him shine as a dazzling and prominent racer at the pinnacle of the world.

“Cici, it’s not your fault,” Lu Zhiyuan said, his heart aching. He knew Gu Ci would react this way, so he never wanted to tell her. “It’s not your fault; don’t blyourself.”

Someday, he would surely break free from this fate!

Gu Ci couldn’t bear it any longer as she saw him approaching. She turned and left, running down the stairs as if someone were chasing her from behind. Li Jiang watched her fleeing figure in confusion. It was the first the had seen Miss Gu Ci cry like this. What had Third Master said to make Miss Gu Ci cry like this?

It was too pitiful!

Jiang Junlin looked at her reddened eyes and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Ci shook her head. “It’s nothing, big brother. The transfer procedures are done. Let’s go.” Gu Ci didn’t want to say more, and Jiang Junlin didn’t force her. He knew it had something to do with Lu Zhiyuan.

Gu Ci silently swore to herself that she would heal as quickly as possible.

This cursed situation was damned, and they would find a way to break it. There were always more solutions than difficulties, and she refused to believe that they couldn’t find a way to break this curse.

Ji Chi stood on the upper floor, watching as Jiang Junlin got into the car, his face even paler than the walls of the hospital.

Brother, I’ve set you free. Are you happy?

Five years later, in the Southern City Hospital.

The emergency room received a construction worker who had fallen from a great height, with a steel pipe piercing through his chest. Gu Ci was on duty as a resident doctor, and this surgery took six hours to complete. When she left the operating room, she was exhausted.

The surgery was a success, and the emergency room was filled with joy.

When the patient was brought in, no one thought he would survive, but the surgery had succeeded, once again under the skilled hands of Gu Ci.

Gu Ci, a newly graduated doctor who had just completed her residency in the emergency room at Southern City Hospital, had gained a great reputation in just half a year. Patients who underwent surgery with her always cout safely. Her medical skills were exceptional, and she remained calm under pressure, making her a standout in the emergency room. Many cardiovascular and neurosurgery doctors liked to exchange experiences with Gu Ci.

Gu Ci had completed an eight-year combined bachelor’s and master’s program, spending five years studying in total. After four years of undergraduate education, she specialized in cardiovascular and neurosurgery. Gu Ziyu had earned two doctoral degrees a year earlier and had already left the campus. With Chen Liangdong’s promotion, Gu Ziyu’s position in the national security sector was also very stable.

Her mental state had improved over the past few years. Two years ago, she had taken over as the leader of the triad. After graduating, she had been doing rotations in the emergency room at a hospital funded by the triad. She worked as an emergency room doctor on odd-numbered days.

During the rest of her time, she served the triad’s dark web. For the sake of Gu Ci, Jiang Junlin had changed the triad’s usual practices. Gu Ci was in charge of the financial sector of the triad, and Jiang Junlin had completely separated the financial sector from the dark web. As a result, Gu Ci had few enemies in the financial sector, and her role as a doctor carried little danger. However, in reality, Gu Ci was involved in most of the management and decision-making in the triad’s dark web. Many decisions didn’t need to go through Jiang Junlin; she could make them directly.

A young nurse handed her a cup of coffee and winked, saying, “Dr. Gu, this coffee was sent to our emergency room by Zhou Li.”

Zhou Li had been pursuing Gu Ci, and almost the entire hospital knew about it. They were all betting on when Zhou Li would finally win over Dr. Gu.

Gu Ci didn’t have to work night shifts. Southern City Hospital was funded by the triad, so she had more freedom than ordinary doctors. She finished work at 5 PM, unless there was an emergency. At night, Gu Ci dealt with triad business and didn’t usually return to the hospital.

Zhou Li was waiting for her in the parking lot. Today was Zhou Li’s birthday, and Gu Ci had promised to celebrate it with him and sing him a song..
