Perhaps for the doctor, an 80% success rate was already a very high level, but for the family, even though there was only a 20% chance of failure, it would still cause great anxiety and unease.
After communicating with the doctor, Gu Qingxin went into the intensive care unit. Her mother was still connected to many tubes, she gently held her mother’s hand, pressed it against her face, ‘Mom, you’ve protected me for nineteen years. Now, it’s my turn to protect you.’
As Gu Qingxin reluctantly left the hospital building, Beiming Han had already been waiting there. His tall figure was leaning against the car, a cigarette in his hand, looking slightly irritated.
Seeing her coming out, he immediately stood up and walked over to her, pointed at his watch, and spoke unhappily, “You’re two minutes and fifteen seconds late!”
“1 just wanted to spend some more time with my mother.” Gu Qingxin looked at him in frustration. Given her mother’s current condition, she wished she could be by her mother’s side at all times.
Besides, who knew that his visit to the patient would end so quickly?
“You dare to talk back! I’ll deal with you when we get back!” Beiming Han unhappily grabbed her arm and pushed her into the passenger seat.
Beiming Han walked around the car to the driver’s side, started the car himself, and drove away from the hospital.
The car stopped at an upscale Western restaurant. This restaurant was not an ordinary one, requiring a membership card for entry, ensuring that only the wealthy and prestigious could dine there.
Before Gu Qingxin left the Gu family, she also had a dining card for this place, but that was all three years ago.
Latterly, everything she had became Gu Yunci’s, and she herself went from a spoiled lady to a destitute daughter…
After they were seated, Beiming Han glanced at the frail-looking girl and ordered a few more dishes.
Gu Qingxin kept her head down, quietly eating the steak in front of her. She didn’t touch anything else, Beiming Han frowned at her, put a plate of foie gras in front of her and ordered, “Eat!”
She suspiciously looked up at him, Beiming Han snorted and said, “Too skinny, bone-jarring.”
Who asked you to hold me?!
Halfway through the meal, Gu Qingxin got up to go to the bathroom. When she came back from the restroom, she encountered Gu Yunci touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.
Seeing her, Gu Yunci immediately turned around and scoffed, “Gu Qingxin, you’re really not dead.”
“You’re older than me and you’re not dead, how could 1 possibly be dead?”
Gu Qingxin thought Gu Yunci was ridiculous, but more than that, she felt chilled. Back when she was in the Gu family, Gu Yunci hadn’t yet become the Miss of the Gu family. Gu Qingxin always treated her like a close sister, but who knew that her heart could be so venomous.
Color drained from Gu Yunci’s face, she angrily stepped forward, “What are you pretending? The day you were dragged back home, the house was bombed and suffered heavy losses, do you claim to not know?”
Gu Qingxin didn’t really know. When Beiming Han rescued her from the basement, she had already fainted.
It was bombed? Even if Gu Qingxin knew about it, she would only say one thing, ‘good riddance!’
“Oh, really? That’s just you all reaping what you’ve sown! Gu Yunci, I’d advise you to stay indoors when it rains, be careful not to get struck by lightning for all the evil you’ve done.” Gu Qingxin finished washing her hands, and looked at her coldly.
“You!” Gu Yunci turned pale with anger, then sneered and said, “Sister, next week is my engagement day with Rong Ling, you must come and attend..”
