CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 432: PROTECTING YOU THOROUGHLY

Gu Qixiao was often extremely obsessive and extreme, but most of the time, it was all because of the woman in front of him.

"Yu, if you’re really annoyed by the way I’ve been acting, just tell me. I’ll try my best to change my mindset. I absolutely won’t let you feel disgusted with me." He just wanted to protect the person who lived in his heart.

Ji Yu certainly couldn’t hate him for that; she simply thought his actions were a bit too extreme at the moment. No matter what, he needed to take care of his own life first.

"I don’t know what kind of drug you’ve been affected by, but you’ve clearly suffered a lot during this time. If necessary, we can go to the hospital and have it checked out."

"The doctor has already examined me. It’s not as complicated as you think." Gu Qixiao spoke nonchalantly.

"But I’m afraid something might happen to you. You’re very important to me too. I know you’re deeply concerned about all this right now, but it’s far from being as simple as you imagine."

Ji Yu didn’t want to watch him continue to deteriorate like this.

Gu Qixiao had no choice but to follow her to the hospital.

When the doctor saw them arrive, he seemed to already know the reason for their visit.

"If you’re here for the antidote, I advise you to wait a little longer. After all, the research process is still too short. To develop an antidote, it will undoubtedly take some time."

This matter was indeed complicated, and despite all the preparations they had made, there still seemed to be no progress.

"Although Jiang Huai has a bad temper, he’s undeniably skilled. The drugs he develops usually only have antidotes that he himself can produce."

As he spoke, the doctor glanced at Ji Yu, seemingly aware of the tangled emotions between them.

"As long as you can develop the antidote, I’m willing to pay any price. I trust you understand who we are. When the time comes, whatever you want will be yours."

"Yes, I do know your identities, but this matter is truly difficult for me. If possible, I suggest you find the person who developed the drug instead."

He seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

Ji Yu stared blankly, confused as to why this man knew all these details.

"So, are you also part of that organization?" Ji Yu had begun to doubt his true identity, suspecting he had ulterior motives.

"Yes, I am part of that organization. But so what? Right now, I’m Gu Qixiao’s attending physician. You should trust me."

It sounded plausible, but Ji Yu simply couldn’t bring herself to trust anyone from that organization.

"Gu Qixiao, if you want to put your faith in that attending physician, maybe you should consider other options instead."

The matter inherently carried a degree of risk, and solving it would undoubtedly require a great deal of effort.

No one could guarantee that the members of the organization wouldn’t betray them in the end.

"Since Yu doesn’t trust him, there’s no reason for us to continue speaking with him. We’ll find another doctor later."

Gu Qixiao didn’t have any specific demands in this matter. Knowing that Ji Yu disliked these people, he was naturally quick to distance himself from them.

"If you leave like this, you’re bound to regret it. I understand your resentment toward our organization, but in the end, you still need to solve this problem, don’t you?"

As long as they were alive, this issue would remain impossible to ignore.

Ji Yu said nothing, simply pulling Gu Qixiao away from the hospital.

"I know someone who’s very familiar with them. I just don’t know if you’d trust him."

"Are you referring to your savior?" Gu Qixiao quickly realized, though he still hesitated internally.

"I know you’re worried about the situation, but aside from Jiang Huai, they’re probably the most familiar with this drug. If they can’t manage to develop an antidote, Jiang Huai might be the only one able to do it."

For now, this seemed to be the only available solution.

"Since Yu said so, I’ll believe them. Besides, I’ve already told you this drug means nothing to me."

After all, it wasn’t a matter of life-and-death urgency.

"As long as I can see you, I will never forget you. No one can ever make me forget you." This was his bottom line, the essence of what mattered most to him—Ji Yu.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say at the moment. Knowing how deeply he trusted her, she was determined not to disappoint him.

The two of them, worn out by the ordeal, decided to go home and rest properly.

That night, perhaps because of everything they had gone through, neither of them slept well.

When Ji Yu woke up groggily, she could clearly sense that the person beside her seemed lost in thought.

"Gu Qixiao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you’re not feeling well, let me know. I’ll take you to the hospital."

"I’m fine physically. I’m just thinking about a lot of things. Maybe I’m still not quite used to the fact that you’re back by my side." Gu Qixiao rarely had such introspective moments.

Their relationship hadn’t come easily, and after everything they had endured, Ji Yu occupied an even more important place in his heart.

"Yu, don’t think I’m being annoying. I just want to confirm once more that you’re truly back by my side. You have no idea what it’s been like for me this whole time."

Every time he thought of Ji Yu jumping off the cliff, his heart ached terribly.

"Gu Qixiao, I’m already back. You don’t need to be afraid anymore. Look, isn’t this me, standing here before you? I’m right by your side now." She reached out and took Gu Qixiao’s hand, letting him feel her warmth.

"I know you’re by my side, but for some reason, I can’t shake the feeling that this isn’t quite real. Maybe it’s the effects of the drug giving me these mistaken feelings."

Every time he thought about the drug, it made him restless. He wasn’t afraid of forgetting anyone, but if he were to forget Ji Yu, it would feel like the worst punishment imaginable.
