Knowing that it would result in this, knowing that Shangguan Yu couldn’t answer the phone now at all, yet hearing those words still brought inevitable pain, and her heart would still ache.
Because she knew, even if Shangguan Yu could answer the call now, even if the phone was right in his hand, he wouldn’t pick up.
This is what she was sad about.
Gu Yao didn’t have time to be heartbroken, nor did she persist in dialing a second time. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed, not even bothering to wear shoes, heading straight to the window while dialing Gu Li’s number.
In fact, the soundproofing of this room was quite good, but Gu Yao, out of psychological concern, went to the window, afraid to let Gu Sheng hear any noise.
The call rang only three times before it was connected, and Gu Li’s somewhat weary voice came through.
Gu Li immediately recognized the trembling, choked voice from being too tense and worried. He, who was resting against his office chair rubbing his temples, instantly sat up straight, and his tone changed.
"What’s wrong? Did something happen? Did Asheng bully you again?!" The last sentence was almost affirmative.
Weren’t they already reconciled? What on earth did Asheng do to scare Yaoyao now?
"No, big brother, did something happen to Shangguan Yu? How is he now?"
Those three words, "Shangguan Yu," had not left her lips for some time, yet when she uttered this name again, her mood was exactly as it was back then.
"Shangguan Yu?" Gu Li paused a moment, somewhat puzzled as to how Gu Yao, being in the United Kingdom, could still know about Shangguan Yu’s situation.
After the puzzlement came more worry.
Compared to arguing and fretting with Gu Sheng, he was more afraid of Gu Yao still thinking about Shangguan Yu.
This girl, it seemed, hadn’t let him go after all.
But thinking about it, Gu Yao loved so deeply, died once and came back, even forgetting Shangguan Yu but still fell for him again. Such feelings, how could they be so easily let go?
"What happened to him?" Gu Li, busy every day with family business without even a moment to rest, genuinely didn’t know what had happened to Shangguan Yu.
"I just saw on the news that something happened to him, and he’s being saved at our family’s hospital, the First People’s Hospital. Can you help me find out about the situation?" Gu Yao remembered pacing back and forth by the window.
Hearing Gu Yao’s voice choke with sobs, Gu Li quickly agreed, "Yaoyao, don’t worry, I’ll call right away and find out, and I’ll call you back in a bit."
"Okay, hurry." Gu Yao hurriedly ended the call without wasting more time.
Clutching the phone by the window, anxiously awaiting.
Soon, the call from Gu Li came.
Gu Yao picked up the phone, held her breath, waiting for Gu Li’s news.
"Yaoyao, Shangguan Yu... is indeed at our hospital."
Even though she already knew it was Shangguan Yu who had the accident, when it was confirmed 100 percent, Gu Yao was still deeply shocked. Her already pale face from feeling unwell became even paler, and her eyes reddened.
"How is he now?" she asked.
"He..." Gu Li’s hesitation made Gu Yao’s heart sink.
Clearly, the situation wasn’t good.
"The surgery is done."
"I asked how he is, how is he doing now." Gu Yao was anxious.
Whenever it concerned Shangguan Yu, she couldn’t keep calm.
Sometimes she herself found it inexplicable, wondering what kind of strength drove her to such actions.
