Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Da Bai Arrives (5)

"What? You’re on the plane, and you’ll be at the hospital in two hours? — Okay, I’ll have Mrs. Xiao’s information left in my office, waiting for you to come."

After saying this, Tang Sili seemed to have received some instruction from the other end of the line and turned back to ask Gu Nuan, "Is Miss Gu’s phone broken?"

Gu Nuan’s phone had been stolen at the KTV and the police hadn’t been able to help them retrieve it yet.

It was only after Tang Sili asked a second time that Gu Nuan seemed to react to his voice.

Ou Yanan evidently noticed this hesitation, which brought a hint of questioning to his eyes.

Tang Sili explained to him, "Miss Gu has suffered an ear injury and her hearing is not very good. The anti-inflammatory medicine I prescribed for her last time should be finished by now, get some more for her later." He gestured to Gu Nuan as he spoke, "Miss Gu, have you finished the anti-inflammatory medicine I urged you to take last time?"

Before Gu Nuan could answer, the man known as Mr. Bai, who was on the other end of Tang Sili’s phone, must have had very sharp ears because he had heard Tang Sili’s words and suddenly shouted, "Hasn’t she taken her medicine?"

His tone carried the air of someone ready to return home and immediately start spanking someone.

Gu Nuan involuntarily shrank a little, feeling inexplicably guilty.

After seeing her reaction, Tang Sili handed her the phone, "Mr. Xiao wants you to take the call."

Gu Nuan took the phone with her uninjured right hand.

On the other end, that familiar voice became so intimate, as if their relationship as strangers just half a month ago no longer existed, as if they were relatives naturally meant to be together.

An inexplicable feeling like that surfaced in Gu Nuan’s mind.

His voice was intermittent, perhaps due to a poor signal, and there was a hint of desperation as it came through, "How could he put you in so much danger?! If it were me, I would never act like him. He always has that petty family mentality, and even now he refuses to admit it, almost getting my wife killed!"

Gu Nuan thought he must have heard the news and figured out what had happened.

"Nuannuan, say something, are you okay?" He was frantic, not hearing any response from her.

Gu Nuan took a breath, wondering what was going on with her, why she had suddenly become so vulnerable, as if she wanted all her words to rush out and be shared with him on the other side.

Especially when faced with the face that looked so much like Gu Sheng’s, which now haunted her slightly dizzy mind.

"Come back—then we’ll talk—" Finally, she squeezed out these six words and hung up the phone.

When Tang Sili took the phone from her hand, he also felt her forehead casually.

It felt like she had a fever, but also it seemed she didn’t.

Gu Nuan definitely felt a bit cold. Thus, when he suggested she lie down on the bed, she didn’t refuse.

As she lay down in bed, it felt like she finally had an excuse to avoid someone, pulling the blanket up almost to her eyes.

Seeing that she seemed very cold, Yanan brought over another blanket and draped it over her.

Through the blankets, Gu Nuan could clearly sense his presence: if he were Gu Sheng, alive and so close, within arm’s reach.

Was he Gu Sheng, or was he not? Could anyone tell her what had happened?

Her mind muddled, Gu Nuan closed her eyes.

For his part, Yanan simply felt that this woman was not normal, especially the way she looked at him, so strangely it was hard to describe.
