Chapter 91: Kneeling Down to Her

  "Qing Hua, take me away." After the nurse helped Xu Qing remove the IV needle, Xu Qing stretched out her hand to Wei Qing Hua.

  "Good." Accompanied by Xu Qian, Wei Yinghua and the two slowly walked towards the ICU where Wei Zhe was located. When they arrived at the ICU, Gu Xiyan had just come out of it. Seeing the Wei couple, Gu Xiyan greeted them with a wave.

  Xu Qian didn't want to bother with Gu Xiyan, so only Wei Jinghua comforted her a little. Gu Xiyan wasn't angry about this either. After all, Wei Zhe's serious injury was related to her. Just now she had seen Wei Zhe, and at this moment her emotions were still somewhat fluctuating.

  Wei Zhe. That gentle and refined man. The man who loved without regrets. The man who still lies in bed for her sake...... She owes him so much, so very much.

  A single word of affection can indeed hurt people.

  Gu Xiyan returned to her ward quietly. Ji Shufen had already gone home, where Xiaoyu was waiting for her care. Seeing the hot congee placed in the ward, Gu Xiyan's heart warmed up. She became even more determined that it was right not to reveal the miscarriage, and some bitterness she would swallow herself. With such a good family, what reason did she have to let them suffer with her?

  After eating the porridge obediently, Gu Xiangyu put away the thermos and waited for the nurse to check on her before she could be discharged from the hospital.

  Gu Xiyan didn't expect it was the kind middle-aged female doctor from yesterday. "Doctor Auntie, how did you come?"

  "Miss, I'm here to give you a thorough examination. Don't want any underlying illness to be missed." The female doctor said as she gestured for Gu Xiyan to lie down properly. She then took out her tools and began the examination.

  "Alright, don't worry, it's not a big deal. However, try not to get pregnant again within the next three months. Also, suspend your conjugal life for a month. Otherwise, just avoid taking baths in the near future to prevent possible infections. Go home and take good care of yourself. You're still young, there will be other opportunities." The female doctor patted Cuxi Yan's shoulder with a warm smile on her face.

  "Thank you, Doctor Auntie." For a moment, Gu Xiyan thought that this doctor auntie must be a very good mother. She had such a kind and gentle smile. She didn't even know what her own biological mother looked like. But it was okay, she still had a great mother-in-law. Heaven was still being very kind to her.

  "Alright, young lady. I'll leave first. You can continue to stay in the hospital for observation or you can also go home and continue to rest." The female doctor said as she turned around and left.

  Gu Xiyuan became the only one left alone, not knowing what to do now. Her body was also a bit tired. She lay down on the bed and decided to rest for a while.

  Gu Xiyan didn't expect that she had slept for nearly six hours. When she woke up, she found someone outside her ward. As she walked to the door, she realized that the person was actually Wei Qinghua.

  "Uncle Wei, is something wrong? Is it about Wei Zhe..." Gu Xiyan's heart tightened as she anxiously asked.

  "Miss Gu, it's not that. Xiao Zhe is fine now. It's just that my wife wants to see you. You also know that her body isn't in good condition lately. That's why I came to find you." Wei Yinghua hastily explained the purpose of his visit.

  "Really? Uncle Wei, I'm so sorry to have you run an errand for me. I'll just grab a piece of clothing and head over." Gu Xiyan said with a gentle smile.

  Gu Xiyan didn't know why Xu Qian wanted to find her, but no matter what the reason was, it was fine. Since Auntie wanted to find her, she naturally couldn't be slow either.

  Wei Qianghua sent Gu Xiyuan to the door of Xu Qing's ward and then left, because his wife had said earlier that she wanted to have a 'private talk' with Gu Xiyuan.

  "Hello Auntie Xu. I'm here." Gu Xiyan didn't know how to converse with this elder in front of her, so when she spoke, it was somewhat unnatural and awkward.

  "Xiao Zhe loves you very much. I never understood what's so good about you." Xu Qian raised her hand to gesture for Gu Xiyan to sit in the chair beside the hospital bed.

  Gu Xiyan was speechless. How could she have known why Wei Zhe loved her so deeply? If love could be explained clearly, she would definitely find a way to make Wei Zhe forget about her and then find a good girl to live a happy life with.

  "Do you still love Xiao Zhe?" There was a hint of interrogation in Xu Qian's tone.

  Gu Xiyan hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, looking at Xu Qian with a serious gaze in her eyes. "Auntie Xu, Wei Zhe and I ended things more than seven years ago. I used to love him deeply, but when I left him back then, I told myself that I would forget him. He was just a beautiful accident in my life. I've been married for many years now, and my husband has always been good to me. I love him very much. As for Wei Zhe, all I can say is that it's a pity. I'm not the one who should be holding his hand."

  "Xiao Zhe almost lost his life for a woman like you. Great, just great." Xǔ Qiàn heard Gù Xīyǎn's words and felt indignant. Her own son had almost lost his life for her sake, and this was how she repaid him?

  "Auntie, don't get agitated. Your body isn't well either, don't get agitated." Gu Xiyan recalled that previously Xu Qian had fainted from excessive emotional agitation, and she couldn't help but still feel a bit fearful now.

  "I won't die, don't pretend to be kind. I'm asking you, how do you really think of Xiao Zhe now? Is he a lifesaver or just someone unrelated?" Xu Qian pushed away Gu Xiyan's hand that was extended in urgency, her voice somewhat harsh and unpleasant.

  Gu Xi Yan sat back in her original position. "Auntie, Wei Zhe is now my friend. I know he's good to me. I want him to be happy more than anyone else. Wei Zhe is a great person. He will be happy."

  "If Xiao Zhe were happy, he wouldn't have been searching for you all these years. Even knowing you're married, he still won't let go. Gu Xiyan, since you know how good Xiao Zhe is to you, I'll ask you: if I agree to let you and Xiao Zhe be together, will you return to his side?" Xu Qian's eyes pierced through Gu Xiyan, not allowing her any room for retreat. When she saw her child that morning, even in a coma, he was still thinking of the girl in front of him. "Yan Yan"... hearing her son unconsciously utter this term of endearment, her heart trembled with every beat. Had she really done wrong back then? If only she could tolerate this girl, Xiao Zhe wouldn't have suffered for so many years. She had thought that after some time, Xiao Zhe would forget about this woman, but unexpectedly, he searched for her all these years, even knowing she was married, still refusing to give up. Is love really that powerful? Before Xiao Zhe's accident, she had thought that if he didn't like Ye Jiarong, she could let him marry another woman. But after this incident, she finally woke up. If Xiao Zhe truly liked another woman, why would he end up lying in a hospital bed like this?"

  "I'm sorry, Auntie Xu. I love my husband so much and I just can't leave him. I know I owe Wei Zhe a lot, a lot... I'm willing to do everything I can to repay him and make it up to him. But... I just can't..." Gu Xiyan couldn't continue speaking, her eyes welling up with tears. She suddenly felt suffocated by the atmosphere in this hospital room.

  She didn't need to say any more, Xian already understood what she meant. However, this time Xian had made up her mind. She would no longer stop her son from pursuing his so-called happiness. If her son really loved the woman in front of him, then even if that woman was already married, she would be willing to accept her as Xiao Zhe's wife. Marrying a divorced woman wasn't something to brag about, but since her son liked it, she wouldn't stand in the way.

  "Aunt, is there anything else? I think I'll head back first." Gu Xiyan's two hands tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, her head bowed low. If Auntie had let her come just to make her leave with Qi He and Wei Zhe together, then she... was sorry. Her heart told her that she really couldn't do it.

  "Auntie, I'll leave first." Seeing that Xu Qian didn't say anything, Gu Xiyan stood up, with a hint of fleeing in her actions. She knew she was being impolite, but she was really scared. Scared that if she stayed here any longer, she would get into an argument with Auntie Xu. She knew her temper was actually quite weak, but she absolutely didn't want to leave her husband behind.

  Before Gu Xiyan reached the door, a nurse had already hastily opened it. "Hello, are you Mr. Wei's mother?"

  Gu Xiyan stood on one side. When she heard the nurse's words, her heart skipped a beat. Wei Zhe... what happened to him again?

  "Yes. I am. How is my son?" Xuan heard Wei Zhe's news and hurriedly got up. Gu Xiyan saw the situation and went back to support her.

  "It's like this, your son's condition had stabilized earlier, but just now his condition changed again. The doctor has already pushed him into the emergency room. Your husband is not in the hospital, so we can only notify you first to prepare yourself." The nurse spoke quickly and was also panting slightly, seemingly having run over.

  "What...how could this be." Xun Xi only felt that her sky had suddenly turned dark. Fortunately, Gu Xiyan was by her side supporting her, or else she would have fallen to the ground.

  "Ms. Xu, calm down. Everything will be alright with the doctor here. Wei Zhe is still receiving emergency treatment. You mustn't have an accident at this time, Ms. Xu. I'll take you to see him, okay?" Gu Xiyan quickly wiped away her tears and gestured for the nurse to help.

  "Nurse, would you mind stepping out for a moment? I need to talk to Miss Gu about something." Xǔ Qiān was slightly unsteady on her feet. The young nurse, hearing her words, could only reluctantly leave.

  The little nurse went out and brought the house door with her. Gu Xiyan was not clear how Xu Qian could have something to say to her at this time. She just wanted to ask Xu Qian what she wanted to say, but Xu Qian suddenly knelt down.

  "Xu Auntie, what are you doing? Get up! Xu Auntie, aren't you feeling well? I'll go get a doctor. I'll..." Gu Xiuyan tried to help Xu Qian up, but she knelt down and refused to get up. Gu Xiuyan thought that Xu Qian's body was not feeling well, so she softened her tone and knelt down as well.
