During those days, I was overwhelmed with stress.
I comforted myself, thinking that once she calmed down, she would reach out to me.
Since the New Year was approaching, she had no other family besides me.
She was just sulking and would come back after a while.
Every day when I returned home, I imagined she would be sitting on the sofa waiting for me like before.
But each time, all that awaited me was a house full of silence.
I could only seek solace from my mother.
Although my mother never liked Yu Zhu.
She was my only family in this world.
My mother told me that on New Year's Eve, after I left her, she was sad for a long time.
Her health was already poor, and when her emotions fluctuated, she couldn't eat or sleep well, taking several days to recover.
I felt very guilty.
I made my mother sad for Yu Zhu.
I promised her that I would spend more time with her in the future to make up for the neglect of these years.
But day after day, month after month, Yu Zhu still hasn't returned.
She has disappeared from my world as if she evaporated.
I began to inquire about her whereabouts everywhere.
Her friends, colleagues, classmates; I even went to her hometown.
But no one knows where she is.
She started to worry.
Could something really have happened to her?
I couldn't bear to think about it.
I couldn't imagine a day when she would leave me.
Every day without her is a torment.
I started suffering from insomnia, unable to sleep through the night.
I took bottle after bottle of sleeping pills.
But they had no effect at all.
When I closed my eyes, all I could see was her.
Her smiling face, her playful demeanor, her angry expression...
We have been together for so many years, and I have never been apart from her for this long.
Yu Zhu, where on earth are you?
The company is currently negotiating an important project.
I am so busy that I can hardly keep my feet on the ground.
My assistant knocked and came in: "Manager Zhen, you need to see the news..."
I shot him an annoyed glare: "What could be more important than the project I'm working on?"
The assistant opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing and quietly walked out.
A minute later, he turned back, mustering the courage to say, “ Manager Zhen, you should take a look. Your wife… is trending.”
Yu Zhu is trending?
How could she be trending?
I hurriedly opened my phone.
“Brave act: female patient injured while saving someone, currently in critical condition…”
In the video, I saw Yu Zhu ’s figure.
It’s her.
It really is her.
She’s hurt…
She was stabbed…
I was frantic, rushing to the hospital like a madman.
At the hospital, I grabbed the doctor’s hand, crying and pleading, “You have to save her… Please, you must save her…”
"She can't die... she can't die..."
The doctor patted my shoulder: "We will do our best."
I was kept outside the ICU.
They said I couldn't go in to see her.
I could only wait.
Wait for news about her.
Every second was torment.
How I wished that the person inside was me.
If I could, I would rather suffer in her place.
Rather die in her place.
My mind was filled with the worst outcomes.
I even thought about her funeral.
She has left, what should I do?
How can I go on living?
I saw her junior.
"Wen Jiayou, can you take me in to see her, please?"
I grabbed his hand and knelt on the ground, begging him.
Wen Jiayou's eyes turned red as he helped me up.
"Senior Sister... she doesn't want to see you."
Doesn't want to see me?
"Impossible!" I shouted, "I am her husband! How could she not want to see me?"
Wen Jiayou glanced at me, took out his phone, and handed it to me.
