Chapter 444: Chapter 445: It’s Simpler When Dead

"Done." The nurse pulls out the syringe, adeptly pressing the puncture with a cotton ball.

After the injection, Gu Tingyun, clutching Guibao’s hand, looks at the small red dot on her flawless skin. It seems very glaring, making his chest feel oppressed and uncomfortable.

Ma Xiulian’s eyes turn red. She gently pats her beloved granddaughter’s little belly, "Guibao, Grandma’s darling, it doesn’t hurt! When you’re better, Grandma will cook you a big pot of meat!"

In her heart, she pleads with God to let Guibao wake up soon!

She vows to protect Guibao like the apple of her eye in the future, so she won’t suffer the slightest discomfort ever again!

Chen Jianjun also feels terrible standing aside, as he was the one who took Guibao to his sister-in-law’s house to rescue her yesterday.

He had resolved to protect his daughter and parents, to let them live better lives.

But now, he can only helplessly watch as Guibao lies on the bed being poked with needles. As her father, he feels a deep sense of defeat welling up in his heart.

After calming his emotions, his gaze shifts to Gu Tingyun. Worried he would be bored sitting idle in the ward, Chen Jianjun, in his slightly hoarse voice, says, "Tingyun, there’s a library nearby. If you feel bored, you can go there and read a book."

Gu Tingyun shakes his head, "No, I want to be with Guibao."

So, no one speaks in the ward anymore, they just continue watching over Guibao, hoping she wakes up soon.

At this moment, the old Chen’s house is especially quiet, everyone concerned about Guibao’s condition.

Sanni distractedly washes dishes in the kitchen. She takes her eyes off one and it slips from her grasp, clattering to the floor.

Li Chunhua, hearing the noise, immediately rushes out of the room, grumbling and complaining, "Damned waste! Can’t even wash dishes properly, what use is feeding you?! You never eat any less, but when it comes to work, you dawdle, such a waste of food!"

And she had the guts to go to school!

The money spent on pencils and exercise books for a few girls could have bought milk powder for her grandchildren!

Sanni squats down silently to pick up the broken dishes, keeping her head low, letting the insults wash over her.

Dissatisfied with just verbal abuse, Li Chunhua, taking advantage of her mother-in-law’s absence, gives Sanni a kick in the shoulder.

Sanni collapses to the ground with a "thump", offering no resistance, knowing the dish breaking was her fault.

She reckons the scolding will stop eventually. She’s just holding out for news on how Guibao is doing in the city hospital, and whether she’s woken up.

Li Chunhua continues to complain, "Each one is a waste, especially that girl, she even went to a city hospital! They don’t know how much money it will cost!"

Every time she thinks about the two hundred yuan the child’s father spent, her heart bleeds.

As the doctors in the town could not diagnose the issue, she begrudgingly asks, "What’s the point of going to the city? What if she can’t be saved, isn’t the money just a waste then!"

Pondering this, she inevitably lowers her voice and curses, "It would surely be simpler if she just died!"

Sanni sharply lifts her head, her eyes fiercely glaring at Li Chunhua, and yells, "Don’t you dare curse Guibao!"

Guibao is a little fairy from the sky, she will definitely be fine!

Startled, Li Chunhua wants to explode in anger, but again fearing Sanni might complain to her mother-in-law, she quickly denies, "You crazy girl, what am I blurting out?! I didn’t curse her! Rather, you broke the bowl, no dinner for you tonight!"

With that, she turns around and goes back inside.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Jianye comments resignedly, "It’s only a dish, it’s okay if it’s broken."
