But we can’t just let this go.
She only has this granddaughter by her side now, and if she doesn’t live well in the future, how can she face the second child when she goes over there?
Grandma Gu frowned and gently patted Gu Tiantian’s hand.
"Tian Tian, Grandma is a bit hungry. Can you help Grandma buy some food?"
Even though it’s really late, in order to distract her granddaughter, Grandma Gu resolutely chose to ignore the time.
Gu Tiantian didn’t think much of it; she just remembered she was having a meal before, but it got disrupted because she didn’t get along with Zhang Yuexin.
Having been busy until now, Grandma must be hungry.
She also felt hungry.
"Okay, Grandma, I’ll be back soon!"
Grandma Gu quickly smiled and patted her hand again.
"No rush, take your time, be careful with the cars, go ahead!"
Gu Tiantian turned around, so preoccupied with Grandma that she momentarily forgot Bai Chenyao sitting on the sofa.
Upon reaching downstairs, she remembered Bai Chenyao was still in Grandma’s ward.
Should she go back... the elevator has already gone up.
Waiting would mean worrying about Grandma being hungry.
Since she’s already downstairs, going back now or a bit later would have the same effect, so Gu Tiantian didn’t bother and walked toward the kiosk at the hospital entrance.
The streetlights were on, and given the late hour, it was quiet inside the hospital, with only a few lights on in the wards.
Walking down the hospital’s tree-lined path, thinking about her Grandma being with Bai Chenyao, Gu Tiantian quickened her pace.
Going out from the main gate of the City Hospital meant a long walk to find something to eat.
But if you went out the south gate, walked fifty meters, there was a night market street.
Gu Tiantian had just gone past the south gate when she unexpectedly ran into a familiar person on the path.
In the dim streetlight, Li Mu in a black suit looked at Gu Tiantian expressionlessly.
Gu Tiantian paused for a moment and instinctively greeted him.
Li Mu was holding two packed plastic bags.
"Miss Gu, this is a midnight snack prepared by Mrs. Chen."
Gu Tiantian was a bit surprised and suddenly remembered that when she was in the ward earlier, either a beautiful maid from the villa came to deliver food or Mrs. Chen.
Feeling a bit stunned, Gu Tiantian still accepted it.
Because she knew if she didn’t take it, Li Mu would definitely inform Bai Chenyao.
"How did you know I was here?"
Logically, he wouldn’t be by the hospital’s main gate, would he?
She had been to the City Hospital before, and she was fairly familiar with the layout. This path leading to the south gate was a shortcut generally unfamiliar to most people.
Li Mu continued to look at Gu Tiantian expressionlessly, his voice cool.
"Miss Gu, when you came downstairs, the sir already called me."
"I just got to the inpatient ward, happened to see you coming out of the elevator heading towards the south gate. It’s late, so calling out to you would be disruptive, hence I chose another route to wait for you here."
She felt she was already at a point where she didn’t know what to say anymore.
Looking at Li Mu’s expressionless face, Gu Tiantian opened her mouth and, after a while, managed to squeeze out a smile that looked worse than a cry.
Li Mu’s voice was mechanical, his face devoid of any emotion.
"Miss Gu, you’re welcome. It’s my duty."
She genuinely didn’t know what to say anymore.
As she was about to turn and leave, Li Mu spoke suddenly.
"Miss Gu, sir mentioned that if you’d like to return to the ward, go straight to your own ward. As for Grandma Gu, Mrs. Chen has already delivered a midnight snack there."
