Chapter 128 - There Was Only One Answer (2) (1/2)

Gu Yu did not immediately leave the vehicle. He leaned against the backrest of his seat and looked up, gazing at the hospital’s entrance. His eyes darkened, and a shadow of conflict grew visible within them.

Was he trying to keep her close or push her away? His grandfather’s words kept replaying in his ears.

After roughly half a minute, his eyelids drifted shut as his lips curled into a sardonic smile.

Right from the start, there had only ever been one answer to that question. There had never been any other choice, to begin with…

–

As Gu Yu walked into the hospital room, he noticed the flower garlands lined up neatly along the wall and did a double-take. Had he not seen Xu Weilai resting on the bed, he would have assumed that he had walked into the wrong room.

The nurse came back from somewhere carrying a laptop in her hands. When she saw him, she said out of respect, “Hello, Mr. Gu.”

Gu Yu jutted his chin out toward the flowers and asked, “What’s all this?”

With a trembling voice, the nurse hurriedly related the terrifying incident that had transpired in the afternoon. If the group of men had come to cause trouble, two defenseless women like herself and Miss Xu Weilai would have stood no chance against them.

Gu Yu didn’t seem surprised at all. Maintaining a stony expression, he nodded his head in acknowledgment of the nurse’s words.

Naturally, Xu Weilai could see that Gu Yu had arrived. Although she did not wish to see him, she couldn’t stop him from coming either. Since she couldn’t afford to offend him, the only other thing she could do was to pretend that he wasn’t there.

When Gu Yu swept his eyes past her, she lowered her eyes and stared at her fingers resting on the blanket.
