Chapter 347: Warm Love

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Her illness, of long-standing origin, was brought about by the obsession from a previous life, unable to break free. She fell into the abyss, and originally, Lu Zhiyuan was still holding onto her, but now, Lu Zhiyuan has let go.

“Cici, you have love in your heart, and with that, there’s certainly salvation. You have Ziyu, a master, and a brother. You’re not entirely without anything. We will all do our best to pull you out,” Dr. North spoke gently, as if nurturing fragile porcelain. “Cici, our master never tolerates traitors. He spared me, but the only condition was that 1 must cure you. He cares for you more than you can imagine, trusts you. Cici, your master will love you. Even though he initially approached you with impure intentions, he genuinely cherishes you as if you were his daughter. The fact that you’re still seeking help means you will get better.”

The truly irredeemable ones are those who know they are in the abyss but refuse to call for help.

Gu Ci used to be one of them, but now, she has changed; she is calling for help.

Dr. North looked at the medication she was taking; they were all antidepressants. In truth, these drugs had little effect on Gu Ci. She wasn’t suffering from depression. Dr. North didn’t advise her to stop taking them but reduced the dosage.

“Go to sleep, I’ll stay with you,” Dr. North held her hand. “Don’t be afraid, nightmares will eventually fade away.”

Gu Ci was very tired. She couldn’t sleep well in China, and it was even worse here. She rested for a few hours at night, but there wasn’t a moment of deep sleep. No matter how fatigued her mind was, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Dr. North’s phone vibrated, and she received a piece of music sent by Lu Zhiyuan. She put on her headphones and listened. It was a violin piece with a unique melody, reminiscent of the wind blowing through mountain streams. “Cici, would you like to listen to some music?”

Gu Ci nodded, and Dr. North played the music. As soon as Gu Ci heard the opening notes, she opened her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes. This piece of music was special; it was one that Lu Zhiyuan often played in their past life. He had wanted to teach her, but unfortunately, after Gu Ci’s hands were injured, she couldn’t quite hit certain notes correctly. Later, Lu Zhiyuan recorded the piece and played it frequently.

When she couldn’t sleep at night, she often listened to this piece. It was the best lullaby.

Dr. North spoke gently, “If you don’t want to listen, I can turn it off.”

“No, I want to listen!”

Chen Rushi’s personality meant that he would inevitably have other intentions and wouldn’t be loyal to anyone. He wanted to be in charge of his own destiny.

But now, he found himself in a difficult position.

Leaving the triad and striking out on his own might not be as prosperous as being part of Black Hawk or the triad, but it would offer stability. The Chen family was already very wealthy, and he had the means to make his own way without getting involved in their internal conflicts.

However, he was just one step away from a position of ultimate power, and Chen Rushi wasn’t willing to give that up.

Gu Ci said, “Chen Rushi is a typical case of insatiable greed. He thinks highly of himself and wants to gain power from others rather than starting from scratch. He doesn’t want to be second fiddle and wants the power of Black Hawk or the triad. He’s not satisfied with being second in command and probably resents Third Brother a lot right now. In Black Hawk, he was the second-in-command, but in the triad, he’s nothing. This acting head position will surely be a thorn in his side.”

“Do you hope he quits?”

“If he’s smart, he’ll know what to do.”

The position of the triad leader would not go to him, and Chen Rushi should be aware of this. How he chooses to proceed is his own decision.

The matter in Paris had come to a close.

Now, they were waiting to return to their home country. Gu Ci and Dr. North decided to take advantage of the good weather and went for a walk, with Zhang Qiang and the bodyguards following closely behind.

Jiang Junlin was not present, but this elite guard had been protecting Gu Ci all along.

The snow had not yet melted, and each season had its own unique beauty. Gu Ci liked summer the most because the year that Lu Zhiyuan brought her back home was during the summer. The sunlight was just right, and since then, she had developed a fondness for the peak of summer.

Winter, on the other hand, always made her feel cold.

Psychological therapy was most effective in a closed space, at least for most patients. However, it wasn’t the case for Gu Ci. In a closed space, she felt insecure, and Dr. North had noticed this after a few therapy sessions.

She felt uncomfortable but wouldn’t tell the doctor..
