Zhixi saw Ye Shutong staring at her continuously and felt slightly embarrassed, "Miss, I really am in a hurry."
As if waking from a dream, Ye Shutong said, "I’m fine, you can go."
Zhixi smiled gratefully and dashed into the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, she sent Ye Shutong a slight smile, her clear eyes fully visible.
Ye Shutong slowly exhaled a breath.
No, it couldn’t be her.
But, could there really be two people who look so alike in this world?
As if possessed... she followed.
After leaving the hotel, Gu Zhixi hailed a taxi and reported the hospital’s address.
She hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Shutong here, but fortunately, her performance just now had been passable, and Ye Shutong probably hadn’t become suspicious. Right now, she wished for nothing more than for Ye Shutong to stay out of it, to avoid complications.
Zhixi glanced at the rear-view mirror of the car, her eyes cooling slightly.
"Driver, do you see the Ferrari behind us? Can we shake it off?" she asked softly.
The driver glanced in the rear-view mirror and shook his head, "I’m sorry, miss, we’re in the city; we can’t speed up enough."
"It’s okay, just try to take a detour," Gu Zhixi said as she pulled out her phone to call Pei Yuanchen.
After she finished speaking, Pei Yuanchen’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm, "Gu Zhixi, have you forgotten what you said ten minutes ago?"
Zhixi’s cheeks warmed; just moments ago in the room, she had been adamant about not needing Pei Yuanchen’s help.
"I didn’t expect to run into her... The main thing is, I’m about to see Xiaobao. If she’s just following me, then that’s fine. But what if she discovers Xiaobao’s existence and causes trouble?" Zhixi explained.
When it came to her son, she couldn’t afford to be careless.
Pei Yuanchen lazily replied, "That’s more like it. Wait for me."
Then, he hung up the phone.
Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the Ferrari that had been shadowing her was stopped by a traffic cop and completely disappeared from her view.
...Zhixi had always been curious about Pei Yuanchen’s methods and connections. This man had clout and influence and managed to operate with ease in Yangdong City, which he was not familiar with. Ye Shutong was still the young lady of the Ye Family, and she wondered how he had managed to get the police to stop her.
However, with Ye Shutong no longer on her trail, she finally relaxed.
Before long, she arrived at the hospital.
Gu Zhixi got out of the taxi and headed straight for the pediatric department. It was only by the pediatric entrance that she remembered she didn’t know which room her son was in.
This hospital was a renowned private hospital in Yangdong City, and there weren’t many patients who could afford to stay, so it should be easy to find him.
She pursed her lips, and while the nurses were not paying attention, she slipped in and began to search room by room.
It didn’t take long for her to spot a familiar small figure in one of the rooms.
Gu Zhixi’s tears burst forth, and she pushed open the door, her voice choked with sobs, "Xiaobao."
The little guy, wearing his hospital gown, was lying on the bed playing games. Hearing her voice, he scrambled up.
On seeing Zhixi, he shouted with surprise, "Mommy!"
Zhixi couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed over to hug him tightly!
"Where does it hurt? Did you catch a cold or have a fever?" she asked tenderly, pressing her cheek and forehead against her son’s, "I’m sorry, it’s all Mommy’s fault, I shouldn’t have left you alone."
The little boy hugged her neck. He had been feeling upset and aggrieved, but seeing his mom more heartbroken and guilt-ridden, all his grievances popped and vanished like bubbles.
