My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Chapter 663: The Answer (1)

Xu Weilai stepped into the ward.

The ward was so quiet that only the faint sound of medical equipment filled the room. She couldn’t help but softened her footsteps, for fear that she would cause disturbance to Gu Yu, who was still sleeping quietly on the bed.

She looked around and was slightly relieved when she did not see any sign of Assistant Lin. If he was here, he would probably make her leave, by hook or by crook.

“Miss Xu, have a seat. I’ll get you a glass of water.”

Mrs. Lin turned around to pour her a glass of water. Her movements were exceptionally smooth as if she was so used to it. She had probably gotten used to it when she took care of Grandpa Gu this period of time.

Xu Weilai sat on the sofa. Her gaze fell towards the hospital bed, and the man on it. Gu Yu’s face was still slightly pale, was sleeping quite peacefully.

When Mrs. Lin came over with the glass of water, she caught Xu Weilai gazing at Gu Yu.

“Miss Xu, you don’t have to worry too much. Young master’s condition is quite stable. He woke up for a while last night. He seemed alert and has clear consciousness.”

As she said that, she handed the glass of water to Xu Weilai.

Xu Weilai took the glass from her, “Thank you.”

Thankful for treating her like how she used to, and also thankful for telling her about Gu Yu’s condition.

Ever since she got married into the Gu family, apart from Grandpa Gu, Mrs. Lin treated her best. She was really grateful for that. That was also the reason why she was never upset with Assistant Lin when he said those harsh words to her.

Xu Weilai drank some water and hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Mrs. Lin, Grandpa Gu... How was he recently?”

At the mention of this, a hint of worry appeared on Mrs. Lin’s face. She sat down on the sofa and shook her head lightly, “He has always been like that. There hasn’t been any improvement. Young master has invited many leading experts in the medical fields to heal him, but the results aren’t optimistic. Now, he’s dependant on medication to survive.”

She was not surprised by the reply from Mrs. Lin.

Xu Weilai forced a tight smile. “Grandpa is so strong. He will wake up.”

“Yes, it’s good news enough if his condition doesn’t get worse. Otherwise, if something happens to Mr. Gu Sr. , the young master... would have no one left by his side. As you know, you’re not by side anymore...”

Mrs. Lin subconsciously sighed. Then, she realized that she had said something inappropriate. She quickly stopped and apologized repeatedly. “Miss Xu, I’m sorry. I didn’t sleep all night. I must be too exhausted that I’m starting to talk nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”

She knew it deep down in her heart that the divorce wasn’t Xu Weilai’s fault. So, she had never put the blame on Xu Weilai.

“It’s okay.”Xu Weilai was still smiling as if she was not bothered by these words at all.

Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but sighed again, “Miss Xu, you’re such a good girl. I don’t know what the young master was thinking. How could he bear to...”

Xu Weilai lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “Yes, how could he bear to... I’ll ask him when he wakes up.”

“Ah?”

She raised her eyes and looked over Mrs. Lin’s shoulder towards the bed. Her gaze met Gu Yu’s, who had wakened while they were too immersed in their conversations. She curled her lips and repeated her last sentence, “I said, I want to ask, why did he take the risk to protect me if he doesn’t like me? If he likes me, how could he bear to divorce me!”

After saying this, she stood up straight and walked directly to the bedside. She lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on the man’s handsome pale face. She opened her mouth and enunciated each word, “Gu Yu, since you’re awake, then give me an answer. Why?”

There was a slow movement in Gu Yu’s eyes, then his mysterious eyes moved towards Xu Weilai.
