Even when unconscious, Xu Weilai still bit down hard. Upon seeing blood trickle out, the doctor and assistant both broke out in a cold sweat and rushed forward to pull Xu Weilai off him.
Gu Yu’s expression did not change at all. His brows merely tightened in response as he instructed gravely, “Don’t worry about it. Give her the injection!”
The doctor quickly nodded his head and picked Xu Weilai’s hand up. Nimbly, he inserted the needle into her vein. At the same time, Xu Weilai sensed the pain and increased the strength in her jaw.
Even throughout all of that, Gu Yu’s expression didn’t change. It was as if he didn’t feel the pain at all.
As the assistant watched the situation unfold, he began to wonder exactly how Mr. Gu felt towards Xu Weilai. If he didn’t care about her, there would be no reason for him to endure her painful bite. If he did care about her, however, why did he seem so apathetic towards her condition?
After a while, Xu Weilai’s breathing slowed. Her head tilted to the side as her body leaned limply into Gu Yu’s embrace as she fell soundly asleep.
The assistant looked at the bloody bite marks on Gu Yu’s neck and whispered, “Mr. Gu, why don’t you let the doctor tend to your wound now?”
Gu Yu looked up quietly and released Xu Weilai from his arms to place her back on the bed. Then, he got up and walked over to the couch.
While the doctor was dressing his wound, he took his phone and quickly edited a WeChat message before sending it out. A moment later, he received a reply that caused his expression to go dark upon reading it
After his wound had been dealt with, Gu Yu stood up and dropped his phone back inside his pocket. He lifted his foot and walked out the door.
Shocked at the sight, the assistant hastily caught up to him. Without thinking, he asked, “Mr. Gu… are you leaving? Aren’t you going to keep Young Mistress company?”
He felt that any woman in such a sickly and frail state would deeply want for either her family or her husband to be by her side.
Besides, his boss had suffered only a deep wound just so that she could be administered her acupuncture treatment. If she woke up and saw that for herself, perhaps she’d be moved, and the relationship between the couple would improve.
As Gu Yu glanced at him without much warmth in his eyes, the assistant swallowed nervously before lowering his head and explaining meekly, “I just thought… that it’d be better… if someone kept Young Mistress company. Considering how ill she is… it would be awful… if something were to happen to her!”
Gu Yu remained silent for a moment. He looked past his assistant’s shoulder at Xu Weilai sleeping soundly on the bed. Finally, his lips moved as he said, “I need to go somewhere now. Get someone else to keep an eye on her.”
What on earth could more important than keeping his own wife company in her current condition?
The assistant questioned Gu Yu’s actions inwardly but didn’t dare to reveal his thoughts. He nodded his head as he replied, “Alright. I’ll get a professional nurse to take care of Young Mistress right away.”
When he was out of the hospital, Gu Yu opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat. With one hand on the steering wheel, he used his other hand to put his Bluetooth earpiece on to make a phone call. The moment the call went through, he got straight to the point when he asked, “Where is he?”
Upon getting his answer, he removed his earpiece and stepped on the gas pedal. The car sped off!
