Chapter 633: Chapter 634: I Don’t Have a Father
“You’re awake?” Gu Mingzhu exclaimed in surprise.
She subtly turned her head and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Xia Ye slowly sat up from the bed, rubbing his eyes, “Where is this? Who are you?”
But Xia Ye was very calm.
He often passed out and in the United States; Xia Yangyang would always have him by her side.
So before he fell asleep and after waking up, he always found himself in different places. He was already used to it.
“I am… Gu Mingzhu, this is my home.”
Gu Mingzhu, for a moment, didn’t know how to define the relationship between the child and herself.
Xia Ye spoke politely, “Hello, why am I here?”
Gu Mingzhu held Xia Ye’s hand, “Because you fell asleep, your parents are in the room next door, they’ll come over soon.”
Xia Ye looked slightly surprised, “Dad?”
As if seeing through the child’s confusion, Gu Mingzhu asked, “Hasn’t your mother ever told you who your father is?”
“I don’t have a father,” Xia Ye stated plainly.
“How can you not have a father? Your father is Gu Qichen, he’s in the next room.”
“Uncle Gu?” Xia Ye asked, puzzled.
Gu Mingzhu didn’t know how to explain it further.
It was clear that the child had met Gu Qichen but didn’t know he was his father.
Gu Mingzhu let out a sigh, “Your parents will explain it to you later. For now, let’s play for a while. Then we’ll have lunch.”
Xia Ye was very obedient, “Okay.”
Gu Mingzhu was surprised by the child’s maturity and calmness.
When he found out about his father, he was slightly surprised. Now, he had already regained his composure.
He did not seem shocked or curious.
Quiet and peaceful, he didn’t look like a child that was only four years old.
“Summer,” a deep voice suddenly came from the entrance.
Both Gu Mingzhu and Xia Ye looked up.
Gu Mingzhu was extremely surprised and couldn’t help but stand up.
Standing at the door was her son Gu Zhaohan.
Why did Gu Zhaohan suddenly come back?
More surprising, who was he calling just now?
Could it be this child?
Sure enough, Tuanzi looked up and, upon seeing Gu Zhaohan, broke into a smile, “Uncle Gu.”
Gu Zhaohan came in, and Tuanzi greeted him proactively, “Why are you here? Are you here to see my mom?”
Gu Mingzhu was too stunned to speak.
Why were they so familiar with each other?
Furthermore, Gu Mingzhu could tell that their familiarity wasn’t recent. It was an intimacy that suggested they’ve known each other for a long time.
From their conversation, Gu Mingzhu could sense.
Gu Zhaohan and Xia Yangyang seemed to have met long ago.
Xia Yangyang had just returned after disappearing for four years, hadn’t she?
Gu Mingzhu’s heart suddenly sank.
A terrifying thought surfaced in her mind.
Gu Zhaohan had already turned around, “Mom, I’m home.”
Gu Mingzhu stood and asked, “How are you acquainted with this child?”
Gu Zhaohan looked at Xia Ye, “He’s been my patient for nearly three years.”
Gu Mingzhu was, for a moment, unable to respond.
These years, Gu Zhaohan had joined Novi’s top-level international neurology research team.
She knew all these years he had been studying a topic related to a sleeping disorder.
But she didn’t expect it to be this child.
Gu Mingzhu stared at the child beside her in disbelief.
Gu Zhaohan spoke calmly, “Yes, his name is Xia Ye, he has congenital neurological sleep disorder.”
