Chapter 530: Take Care of Su Ting
Translator: _Min_ |
Su Ci gazed at Father Su with a light smile, asking, “Father, you really had me searching for a long time, didn’t you?”
Father Su’s expression stiffened for a moment before quickly returning to normal. He glanced at Su Ci indifferently and then looked away, asking lightly, “What is it that you’re looking for me for?”
Upon seeing Father Su’s demeanor, Su Ci couldn’t maintain his composure and spoke in a cold voice, “The incident on the ship today, it was your doing, wasn’t it?”
Though it was a question, his tone was certain.
Father Su’s mood flared up instantly, “I am your father, what does it matter if I did it? I’m warning you to stay away from that woman, Gu Dai, or don’t blame me for what happens.”
Su Ci firmly responded, “No matter what, I will protect Daidai and won’t let anyone bully her, not even you!”
Enraged, Father Su’s eyes widened as he grabbed a cup from the table and hurled it at Su Ci, “You dare defy me, you ungrateful brat? Get out of my sight!” Su Ci didn’t dodge, and the scalding hot water from the cup spilled onto his face, reddening a large patch of his skin.
Taking a deep breath, Father Su said, “I remember Gu Dai is in a relationship with Su Ting, who stayed on the ship to protect you all. He’s probably dead by now, which could be a perfect opportunity for Gu Dai to grow fond of you.” Su Ci looked at Father Su coldly.
Unperturbed, Father Su laughed after a pause, “It’s a pity that there’s a blood relation between you two. If you’re willing to engage in incest, then go ahead.”
Suyu replied coldly, “I don’t need you to remind me of this constantly, and even if we weren’t related by blood, I wouldn’t take advantage of the situation to make her like me.”
Father Su looked at Su Ci with a faint smile and said nothing.
Biting his back teeth, Su Ci turned and strode away. Once back in his car, he began to cough violently, with memories of his time with Gu Dai in university surfacing in his mind.
Father Su’s words echoed in his ears.
He covered his increasingly reddened eyes with his hand, murmuring, “Daidai…”
Gu Dai looked at Su Ting, who was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, and exhaled a sigh of relief, whispering, “Fortunately, the surgery went smoothly.”
Meng Zhi and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed the fatigue on Gu Dai’s face and the dark circles under her eyes.
Shi Nuan gently suggested, “Daidai, now that the surgery is over, you shouldn’t worry anymore. Go get some rest.”
Gu Dai shook her head, “It’s okay, I’m not tired.”
Meng Chuan said helplessly, “You’ve got dark circles and you’re saying you’re not tired?”
Gu Dai opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words to retort.
Despite this, she didn’t leave, lowering her eyes solemnly to look at Su Ting, whispering, “He became like this because he was saving me, so I can’t leave. I need to stay here to take care of him.”
“Even though the surgery was successful, we can’t guarantee there won’t be complications later. I need to be here all the time to monitor his condition.”
Meng Chuan pursed his lips, his eyes brightening as he took out his phone to make a call.
Seeing Meng Chuan’s expression, Meng Zhi, puzzled, followed him. After Meng Chuan hung up, Meng Zhi approached and asked, “Second brother, who did you call, and why are you so happy?”
Meng Chuan said, “I just called Daidai’s senior brother. He said he’d come to take care of Su Ting.”
Meng Zhi, scratching his head in confusion, asked, “What’s there to be happy about?”
Meng Chuan replied with a sigh, “Little Zhi, why are you so slow to catch on?”
He quickly continued before Meng Zhi could get angry, “Daidai doesn’t want to rest because she’s worried something might happen to Su Ting suddenly. With her senior brother’s medical skills, inviting him over will surely put Daidai at ease.”
Meng Zhi found the logic sound and praised, “Second brother, you always have a way.”
Meng Chuan nodded, “Of course.”
Lu Feng arrived quickly.
Meng Chuan immediately took him to the hospital room, “Daidai, let your senior brother take care of Su Ting for now. You should go and rest.”
Gu Dai started to object.
Meng Zhi interrupted before she could refuse, “Daidai, the doctor has already said Su Ting’s condition is stable. Plus, you really should rest well to be able to take care of Su Ting better if anything happens.”
Hearing Meng Zhi’s words, Gu Dai realized the sense in them. Only by resting well could she be prepared to save Su Ting if an emergency arose..
