Chapter 273 – “Let’s get married.” (1)
The heavy subject immediately freaked Qin Ruhai out.
“You… you want to die?”
He had been Huo Sishen’s family doctor for many years and know his condition the best.
Huo Sishen had always resented and refused treatment.
He had always had the suspicion that perhaps he no longer wished to live, which was why he was so haphazard when it came to using his medications!
And now… he was finally verbalizing it?
Even Qin Ruhai’s voice was shaking. “Don’t have such extreme thoughts, bro. Tell me what has been going on with you in the last couple of days.”
Huo Sishen raised his brows.
He wasn’t the one who wanted to die.
But if he was to tell Qin Ruhai the truth, that would no doubt affect the relationship between Gu Shishi and him.
She had given him a gift but he went on a trip before he even gave her one in return!
Had he known that she was depressed, would he still be able to date her and treat her like a normal person?
He was anxious.
Why did it have to be Qin Ruhai? She should at least have found herself a different doctor!
A shred of regret flashed past Huo Sishen’s gloomy eyes.
Qin Ruhai did not fail to notice that.
“Bro, we have known each other for years and you are like my real brother. Just tell me. We shall find a solution together! My professor will be returning to China with me. I can have him take a look at you.”
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
Qin Ruhai’s professor was a renowned expert on mental illness.
No one could rival him in the country.
“Mmm,” said Huo Sishen as he frowned.
Seeing the frightful looking on Siyi who was standing next to him, he swallowed up what he was going to say next.
Even the usually careless Siyi looked frightened.
Siyi was one of the few who joked around with Gu Shishi.
He, too, would probably stay away from her if he found out that she was ill?
Who knew what kind of crazy things a person who was determined to die would do when she was in the heat of the moment?
That was the impression of most people when it came to those with mental illness.
They’d hurt themselves, or others. A complete lack of self-control.
And who would be okay with that?
He took a deep breath.
“She was abandoned by her parents and lost her friend.
“And she felt that death was temporary but being alive is long-term suffering.
“Is she… depressed?
“How can I help alleviate her symptoms?”
He just needed to alleviate her symptoms temporarily.
He could take her out of the country to be treated later on while avoiding the news to be leaked in her friends’ circle.
Huo Sishen sighed again gloomily after he had said that.
As soon as he finished talked, Siyi, outside of the screen, exchanged a look with Qin Ruhai and both had mass sadness in their eyes.
“Look for something to do,” said Qin Ruhai heavily from the screen.
“Focus on some sort of activities and find one’s purpose in life.
“Bro, there are still many happy events in life worth living for. A once-in-a-life-time romance, for example.”
The tips of Huo Sishen’s brows moved a little.
Qin Ruhai sighed.
“If you feel that you don’t have much time and there was nothing else to live for, then fall in love.
“No parents, no friends. Why not have a lover before it all ends?”
Once he was in love, Qin Ruhai didn’t think Huo Sishen would be able to leave the little pretty girl behind.
Huo Sishen was dumbfounded. “But wouldn’t she feel that she will be burden to someone else?”
Was that why she was always looking for him? And asked him to send her gifts as her husband?
She wanted to die but wanted to experience a very memorable romance before it all ended? Perhaps even marriage?
It would be a burden for others.
But he would be perfect for that purpose. He had a poor reputation and nobody knew how much longer he would live.
Was that why she felt that he was the best candidate?
Huo Sishen’s brows twitched.
Was that why she was still looking for him to go out with her and experience what dating was like even though she had given a gift to Qin Ruhai?
Because being a couple with Qin Ruhai would make her a burden to him but the two of them, on the other hand, were in the same boat?
