Chapter 132 - The Big Tiger and the Little Fox (2) (1/2)
In the hospital…
Xu Weilai’s condition had improved tremendously. After lying in bed for so many days, her bones were beginning to feel stiff. The nurse decided to take her outside for a walk to get some sunlight.
After perspiring a little, she returned to her room, drank a full glass of water, and washed her face before climbing back into bed.
She scrolled through her cell phone for a while and got herself up to date with all the recent news and current affairs before placing her phone back down on the bedside table. That was when she saw the stack of books.
She remembered that Gu Yu had read the story of The Big Tiger and the Little Fox to her, but she had fallen asleep without hearing the ending. Wanting to satisfy her curiosity, she reached out and pulled the stack of books over. After searching through them, however, she couldn’t find any that had anything to do with a big tiger and a little fox.
That was weird…
Without thinking, Xu Weilai turned to the nurse and asked, “Is one book missing?”
The nurse glanced at the pile and nodded her head. “There is a book missing, but I didn’t touch it. Could Mr. Gu have taken it with him?”
Xu Weilai pursed her lips. What reason did Gu Yu have to take the book with him? Was he so petty as to deny her the ending of the story?
What a jerk!
Noticing that Xu Weilai’s mood had worsened, the nurse quickly said, “What book are you looking for? I’ll get it for you right away.”
“Never mind.” Xu Weilai wasn’t in the mood to read anymore.
Her cell phone suddenly chimed, and Xu Weilai placed the stack of books back on the table before retrieving her phone. She looked at the screen, and saw that Xiao Chun had sent her a message.
[Chunchun Ready For Action]: I’m so sorry, Sister! I just started work and was so busy. I had no idea that you were ill. It was Gu Yu’s assistant who gave me the news. How are you? Are you feeling any better?
[Lil’ Lil’ Weilai]: I’m much better now. Don’t worry.
Xiao Chun replied very quickly.
[Chunchun Ready For Action]: No way! There’s no way I won’t worry unless I see you with my own eyes. I’ll visit you tomorrow. Tell me what you want to eat, drink, and do! Everything! I’ll bring it over for you tomorrow!
