"Gu Tong, don't get upset, I don't mean anything else, I'm just concerned about you..."
Qiu Xue changed her tone, stepping back a few paces timidly, looking every bit like a white lotus.
The mother-in-law appeared outside the hospital room, screaming shrilly, "Gu Tong, you slut! You bring bad luck, killing my son wasn't enough! You even want to torment Qiu Xue, my son just died not long ago, and you ran out to cheat! If I had known you were such a loose woman, I would never have let my son marry you even in death!"
"That's the mother of Li Yan, right? Oh, how pitiful, I've heard her daughter-in-law was sent back with both legs broken. I think she deserved it. Back when Li Yan's body was still warm, she ran off with a wild man. Even Li Yan's spirit wouldn't forgive her."
"It's just a pity, Li Yan couldn't marry well when he was alive. See, Qiu Xue is so good. I heard she and Li Yan were mutually in love before, but it was ruined by Gu Tong. Now I heard she's some queen of song, a big celebrity. Truly, good people don't get good rewards..."
The corridor was abuzz with gossip, these words pricking the mother-in-law's ears like needles, making her eyes instantly red as she lunged like a furious lion, shouting, "You shameless, venomous woman, I'll kill you to accompany my son in death..."
"Auntie, don't..." Qiu Xue pretended to stop the mother-in-law.
The scene was extremely chaotic, the noise utterly jarring.
The originally peaceful VIP hospital room was in complete turmoil... Nobody noticed that Gu Tong's breathing tube had fallen off the machine...
The anesthetic effect on Gu Tong had yet to wear off, her tongue was numb, and she couldn't speak. She could do nothing but feel sad, angry, and regretful...
Gu Tong's lungs were in excruciating pain!
The oxygen vanished...
She seemed to be choked, struggling painfully for air...
Qiu Xue coldly watched her, savoring Gu Tong's death performance, then said in a tone completely at odds with her expression, "Lady Li pulled off her own respirator..."
Gu Tong could feel life slipping away...
Qiu Xue's satisfaction, the mother-in-law's fear, all reflected in her pupils.
She hated it so much...
She was truly blind to trust the wrong people...
But unfortunately, there was no chance anymore...
Gu Tong opened her eyes again, to see a ceiling with peeling paint, a black string wound around a nail in the corner, with a bulb hanging in the middle.
She turned her head and found herself in a doctor's lounge, next to her sat a girl with braids and some reddish dirt on her face, pounding her shoulder with her fist, mumbling, "How did a good Royal exercise end up with so many people injured by the explosion? We in surgery can't keep up..."
Words both familiar and unfamiliar wandered in Gu Tong's mind, leaving her momentarily unresponsive, her brain in chaos!
The explosion incident just mentioned, she had some faint impression of it, it happened on the seventh day after she married Li Yan!
Because of the Royal exercise, they didn't set a wedding date, because of the explosion incident, they didn't go on honeymoon...
Recalling all this, Gu Tong sprang up like a spring, rushed toward the desk, and rummaged through it, quickly pulling out a Calendar.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she turned to the first page, directly seeing the large golden words.
She, she returned to twelve years ago...
Tears covered Gu Tong's face, the gilded words before her blurred, and previous scenes replayed endlessly in her mind.
Everything was like a nightmare...
If all of this was true, then Li Yan must have come to the hospital with the Academy. If that's the case...
