Chapter 89 - 94: Missing the Young Master?
After her IV was finished and the nurse left, Gu Qingxin got up and left the ward to visit her mother.
Inside the sterile ward, Lin Yin was still unconscious. Gu Qingxin put on a sterile isolation gown and walked over to her mother’s bed, gently holding her mother’s hand.
Her eyes were slightly moist, but there was a smile on her lips. As long as her mother could get better, no matter how much suffering she had to endure, it was all worth it.
Gu Qingxin even felt somewhat relieved that she was sick so she could see her mother every day.
She could not stay for long in the sterile ward. After spending some time with Lin Yin and seeing that her mother’s condition was stable, she left with peace of mind.
She took off her disposable isolation gown, stood outside for a while, took another look at her mother. Feeling somewhat weak, Gu Qingxin reluctantly left her mother’s ward.
When she returned to her ward, the door was pulled open from the inside. Aunt Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her, pulling Gu Qingxin by the hand and leading her inside, “Miss Gu, where have you been?”
“I went to visit my mother, she is also in this hospital. She just had surgery yesterday,” Gu Qingxin explained.
“Oh, I see… You should go and rest, you look horribly pale.”
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou didn’t say much. It was indeed rare to see a young girl her age so dutiful to her mother.
Aunt Zhou helped Gu Qingxin back into bed and pulled the blanket up to her waist, “I made some soup for you. You’re so weak right now, you need to replenish some strength.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhou.” Gu Qingxin leaned against the head of the bed, feeling completely drained. She felt as though she was floating when she walked back.
Aunt Zhou served her a bowl of soup, intending to feed her. Gu Qingxin didn’t have the energy to refuse, so she let Aunt Zhou feed her.
“Aunt Zhou, why did you come?” Gu Qingxin asked after a few sips of soup.
“The young master sent me to take care of you,” Aunt Zhou answered cheerfully. The young master was really good to Miss Gu.
“Oh, then… where is the young master?” Gu Qingxin wanted to thank him personally.
“I’m not quite sure, he probably has some work to do. The young master only rang to ask me to come over, he didn’t say anything else.”
“Miss, are you missing the young master?” Aunt Zhou couldn’t help but smile watching her.
Gu Qingxin choked on her soup immediately and began to cough, her face turning red from coughing.
“Oh dear, Miss, even if you miss the young master, you shouldn’t get so worked up. The young master will definitely come to see you.” Aunt Zhou promptly put down the bowl, stood up, and started patting her on the back to help her breathe comfortably.
“Aunt Zhou, you misunderstood, I don’t miss him!”
Finally able to stop coughing, Gu Qingxin quickly took Aunt Zhou’s hand and began to explain, afraid that Aunt Zhou might misunderstand.
“Miss, it’s perfectly normal for you to miss the young master, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I’ve been working at North Garden for years and never seen the young master treating any other girl this way.”
Aunt Zhou was convinced that Gu Qingxin was just embarrassed. In her eyes, even though the young master had a bad temperament, he was handsome and wealthy, and he was very good to Gu Qingxin.
Gu Qingxin couldn’t explain herself clearly to Aunt Zhou, and she didn’t have the strength to explain either. After finishing the soup, she fell asleep shortly after lying down.
She was overly weak now, and the medicine she took had sedative effects. When she woke up, it was already dark outside, and she was covered in sweat. She touched her forehead, and the fever seemed to have completely subsided, and she felt somewhat stronger.
She went to the bathroom, lifted the toilet lid, and relieved herself.. Just as she was about to stand up, a cold dagger appeared on her neck, and a freezing voice echoed, “Don’t move!”
