Chapter Fifteen: Light Reappears
The lights in the operating room were bright, and the red indicator light flashed piercingly, like a taut string that constantly tugged at Gu Changting's heart. He sat on a bench outside the operating room, his head bowed as he clutched Ruolan's surgical consent form, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the name printed on the document. Those few characters felt etched into his heart, each stroke heavy with significance.
Li Xiaoling sat silently beside him, handing over a cup of warm water. "Chang Ting, the doctor said the surgery went very well. You have to believe that Ruolan will be fine."
Gu Changting took the water but did not drink it, his voice hoarse. "If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have to suffer so much."
Li Xiaoling shook her head, her tone firm. "Ruolan has never regretted choosing you; you can't back down now."
In the early morning, the door to the operating room finally opened. The doctor stepped out, removing his mask and smiling. "The surgery was very successful; the patient is out of danger but will need close observation for a few days."
Gu Changting released his tightly clenched fists, feeling almost drained. He hurried into the ward and saw Ruolan lying on the bed, her face still pale but her breathing steady.
He gently sat by her side, taking her hand in his and whispering, "Lanlan, I won't let you face anything alone again."
A few hours later, Ruolan slowly opened her eyes and saw Gu Changting's tired yet gentle smile. "Chang Ting..." Her voice was weak but carried a hint of comfort.
Gu Changting held her hand tightly, tears glistening in his eyes. "I'm here; don't be afraid. It's all over now."
---
During her recovery period, Ruolan discussed with Gu Changting how to completely resolve Li Shudong's conspiracy. They decided to take proactive measures by holding a press conference to reveal the truth to the public.
At the press conference, Gu Changting and Ruolan stood side by side under the flashing lights of the media. His voice was steady and powerful. "Today we will clarify all accusations against the Gu Family with facts."
Ruolan took the microphone, her gaze resolute. "Li Shudong attempted to extort the Gu Family using forged documents and manipulated videos. However, the truth has never changed—the Gu Family has never engaged in any illegal activities."
Subsequently, their legal team presented key evidence that exposed Li Shudong's collusion with Lin Wanran. Li Shudong's conspiracy was thoroughly unveiled, causing media sentiment to shift rapidly as public opinion began to calm.
Lin Wanran stood in the lobby of the law firm, her complexion pale and hands tightly gripping her bag's strap. She heard someone behind her sneer coldly. "Miss Lin, it seems your plan wasn't as flawless as you imagined."
Turning around, she saw Gu Changting standing at the door with an icy gaze.
"Chang Ting, I..." Lin Wanran tried to explain but was interrupted by him. "Do you think your schemes can change anything? Leave this city and never show your face in front of us again."
Lin Wanran opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing as she turned to leave. Her figure faded into the bustling crowd, carrying with it a final trace of unwillingness.
Weeks later, Ruolan was discharged from the hospital. The sunlight fell on her face, warming her and bringing a sense of relief she hadn't felt in a long time.
She walked alongside Gu Changting on the tree-lined path outside the hospital, the surroundings vibrant and fresh. Ruolan reached out to touch a tender green leaf, a gentle smile gracing her face. "Chang Ting, it feels like I haven't truly looked at this world in a long time."
"From now on, we'll see it together," Gu Changting replied, holding her hand with a voice that was both tender and resolute. "No matter what lies ahead, we will keep moving forward."
One evening, Ruolan and Gu Changting strolled through the garden at home, the sunset casting a warm glow over the earth and stretching their shadows long.
Ruolan spoke softly, "After all we've been through, I've realized that having each other is what matters most."
Gu Changting nodded with a smile. " Lanlan, thank you for not giving up on us."
Standing hand in hand under the setting sun, their faces radiated hope and determination for the future. A gentle breeze swept by, petals floated down, and their figures were enveloped in warm light, as if time itself paused for this moment.
Though this journey had been difficult, it had taught them to cherish every single moment in life even more.
The end.
