Chapter 243 - 243: Entering the Apartment
Before Hai Tang could speak, Assistant He was the first to heave a sigh of relief. He patted his chest.” I knew it.”
Seeing that Hai Tang’s expression wasn’t good, Assistant He rubbed his hands together and said obsequiously, ” You must have your own difficulties. People in high positions can’t help themselves. I understand. Don’t worry, I will definitely keep this secret for you and Fa Xiu.”
Assistant He had actually used the fact that the Dharma Cultivator had recognized Hai Tang as his fiancée to automatically imagine a sadistic relationship between wealthy families.
Obviously, in Assistant He’s eyes, Hai Tang and Fa Xiu had become a pair of unfortunate mandarin ducks, and Hai Tang had no choice but to submit to the power of the Gu family.
When Hai Tang saw Assistant He’s expression, she understood that he was completely mistaken. However, the more she said, the more people would misunderstand her. Hai Tang simply could not be bothered to explain. The most important thing now was to help the Dharma Cultivator recover his memory.
Hai Tang had many reasons to do so. She wanted to take her brother, Hai Yuan, to see the Dharma Cultivator race with her own eyes. She wanted to see the Dharma Cultivator appear on the podium in the racing suit she had designed.
He wanted to see the Dharma Cultivator shine with the career he loved. He wanted to get rid of the inexplicable status of the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée. He also wanted to repay the Dharma Cultivator for saving his life. He wanted the Dharma Cultivator to return to his sunny and confident self.
Sighing, Hai Tang glanced into the ward. Seeing that Dharma was still sound asleep, she called out to Assistant He.” That’s all we can do now. Take me to where he lives first. The nurse said that he also needs some clothes and daily necessities. ”
The Dharma Cultivator’s residence in the city was a high-class apartment in the city center. Assistant He drove Hai Tang to the apartment building and avoided going up.
Assistant He smiled apologetically at Hai Tang.” I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to go up with you. It’s just that I really don’t dare to. Dharma cultivators aren’t as forgiving to us as they are to women. Haha.”
Hearing this, Hai Tang almost rolled her eyes. She took the room card and quickly entered the elevator.
Hai Tang took a deep breath as she walked to the door of the Dharma
Cultivator’s apartment. She guessed that the house had been empty for a few days, and the fruits, vegetables, and food residue might have been maggoted and smelly.
She mentally prepared herself. Other than helping the Mage get some things, she could also help him clean up. She swiped her card to open the door.
The situation in the apartment was a little different from what she had imagined. Not only was it very clean, but it was even a little too deserted.
Hai Tang could not see a single takeout box or trash as far as her eyes could see. It was as if no one had ever lived here.
Only a pair of men’s slippers beside the shoe cabinet could prove that someone had lived here.
This was very different from Hai Tang’s impression of Dharma cultivators. In her eyes, Dharma cultivators were cheerful and cheerful, like a small sun that constantly emitted light.
But when he lived alone, he lived like a strict ascetic monk.
Thinking of the sorrowful eyes that the Dharma Cultivator would occasionally reveal after losing his memory, Hai Tang suddenly became curious about his background and experiences.
Hai Tang crossed the carpet at the door and muttered to the air,” If I offended you, I’m sorry, Dharma Cultivator.”
She walked to the refrigerator to see if there was any food that was about to rot or expire. When she opened it, she found that it was empty. There were only a few boxes of simple frozen dumplings.
Hai Tang suddenly felt that if Hai Yuan ate such food when he was alone at home, it would be too pitiful.
She closed the fridge. When she passed by the living room, Hai Tang suddenly saw a small photo frame on the coffee table.
She stopped in her tracks.
It was a photo of two people. In the photo, an old lady with silver hair sat in a wheelchair and smiled kindly at the camera. The young-looking Dharma Cultivator was half-kneeling beside the wheelchair with a bright smile.
Hai Tang’s heart skipped a beat. She picked up the photo and flipped it to the back. She found that it was a photo taken eight years ago. There was a note written in cursive beside it: [Grandma’s Hospital Discharged Memorial].
It seemed that the old man who was very important to him should be his grandmother.
Hai Tang couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “It’s actually been eight years, then…” Is his grandmother still alive?”
Hai Tang was a little uneasy. She was worried that the worst-case scenario would be that the old man whom the Dharma Cultivator had missed had passed away a few years ago.
If he used this to stimulate the memories of the Dharma Cultivator and let him suffer the pain from back then again, it would be too cruel to the Dharma Cultivator..
