Gu Yao was so frightened that she panicked, and in her nervousness, she withdrew her hand from Shangguan Yu’s grip, stood up, and walked towards the door.
At the same time, the door to the ward was opened by someone from outside, and a tall figure walked in. Thıs text ıs hosted at novｅlfire.net
Gu Yao kept her head down; even with her mask on and dressed as a nurse, she was scared like a thief.
She quickly walked towards the door, not daring to raise her head, and after brushing past that person, she swiftly fled the ward.
Shangguan’s mother was awakened by the noise and looked up just in time to see a nurse hastily leaving; she wanted to call her to ask about Shangguan Yu’s condition, but the nurse walked so fast that she left the ward after only a few steps.
The presence of the additional person in the ward successfully distracted Shangguan’s mother from the nurse.
Shangguan’s mother quickly stood up to greet, "It’s Gu Li."
"Aunt Shangguan." Gu Li smiled in greeting, turned, and placed the fruit basket on the bedside table, glancing at the medical tray with those eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses.
A faint glimmer of light passed through Gu Li’s eyes as he thought of the nurse who had just hurriedly left.
"Yes, I heard he got injured, and it’s quite serious, so I came to see him."
"That’s very considerate of you. But why come at this time? You’re always so busy, and you barely have any time to rest."
"It’s alright. I just finished work and thought I’d stop by. I’ll rest when I get back. How’s Ayu? Was the surgery done well?" Gu Li looked at the comatose Shangguan Yu, who kept muttering Gu Yao’s name, and felt something was wrong.
Seeing Shangguan Yu continuously mutter Gu Yao’s name, Shangguan’s mother smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"The surgery went well. The doctor said he’ll wake up in a few hours."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Shangguan’s mother, Gu Li left.
Gu Yao did not leave the hospital after running out of the ward. Instead, she looped around a corridor, arriving at the window at the end to calm her emotions.
She removed her mask, wiped the tears from her face, and couldn’t calm her feelings for a long time; part of it was because she was almost discovered just now, and another part was naturally because Shangguan Yu had been calling her name.
Was he calling for her just now?
Gu Yao raised the hand that Shangguan Yu had just held, as if dreaming.
It must be, it must be.
He must have sensed she was there, so he held her and wouldn’t let her go.
Could he actually have feelings for her, but didn’t dare to accept it because of her second brother?
Otherwise, why did he find excuses to come to her birthday parties twice, why didn’t he accept her but never blocked her number, why when he rejected her, there was never a trace of heartlessness on his face, but something else instead.
The more Gu Yao thought about it, the more excited she became, looking at her hand sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, regretting why she ran away. She should have stayed by Shangguan Yu’s side, waited for him to wake up and asked him clearly.
Yes, she should wait for him to wake up and ask him clearly.
Thinking this, Gu Yao directly walked back, rushing, she accidentally bumped into someone when turning a corner.
Gu Yao immediately stepped back, feeling extremely excited, she didn’t forget to apologize.
Yet throughout the whole process, she never lifted her head to look at that person, her heart entirely on Shangguan Yu; after saying sorry, she wanted to bypass that person, but a familiar voice sounded.
The voice was tinged with anger, but more was helplessness and concern.
