Chapter 1440: Grand Finale (26)
Zang Xiaolian looked at Gu Dad’s angry face, wanting to explain for Xiao Yebai but couldn’t, so he could only say to Gu Dad, "Second Brother will be here soon. Uncle."
Gu Dad snorted, his palm heavily slapping his thigh, his worried eyes fixed on the door of the emergency room. Gu Nuan had been sent in, and it had been a long time already. Tang Sili went in and hadn’t come out to explain anything to the patient’s family. What on earth was happening? He didn’t even dare to call his wife, and the two little grandchildren knew nothing.
Finally, footsteps echoed down the corridor, and two figures appeared one after the other.
Seeing his son-in-law finally appear in the corridor, Gu Dad jumped up and immediately scolded, "Where did you run off to? When I agreed to let my daughter marry you, it wasn’t because I wanted such a husband! Is this how you be a husband?"
Xiao Yebai was showered by Gu Dad’s spittle, but his eyes were fixed straight on the hospital room door, saying, "Nuannuan is inside?"
"Yes, the doctor hasn’t come out yet." Gu Dad felt he had never been so on edge in his life. This daughter of his had always been strong and capable, excellent even when her hearing had issues, never causing them any trouble. When had Gu Nuan ever had the chance to fall? Never. So Gu Dad couldn’t bring himself to imagine, felt powerless to imagine.
Upon hearing Gu Dad’s words, the man behind Xiao Yebai stepped forward, brushed past Gu Dad.
In a blink, Gu Dad saw the side profile of the man and was stunned, "Dr. Ou? No, Dr. Ou went inside; you are—"
As Gu Sheng began to twist the doorknob to enter, Gu Dad grabbed his clothes.
"You’re Gu Sheng!" Gu Dad exclaimed.
This was his son whom he’d reluctantly sent to Ou Chunhua and who had disappeared for so many years, finally appearing before him, leaving Gu Dad overwhelmed with emotion and so much he wanted to say to this child.
"Gu Sheng, do you know? All these years, yes, my wife and I have let you down, but—" Gu Dad sobbed, "Yes, your resentment towards us doesn’t matter, we’ve already prepared ourselves in our hearts."
Gu Sheng remained expressionless.
Xiao Yebai loosened his father-in-law’s grip, saying, "Let him go in and see Nuannuan first."
Gu Dad remembered, and said to the adopted son, "Right, your sister has always been more concerned about you than anyone else, she doesn’t believe you’re dead."
Listening to Gu Dad’s words, Gu Sheng still had no expression as his hand twisted the doorknob, but what he didn’t expect happened right before him. Gu Nuan’s gaze darted over, directly landing on the doorway, their eyes meeting. He thought she wasn’t awake, that she might still be unconscious, because inside there was no sound earlier, wasn’t there? But, none of that was the case. She was awake, awake and watching him, seeing him, catching him, he couldn’t escape. A violent emotion seized his heart, and he turned to leave.
Gu Dad was shocked by his action. Xiao Yebai furrowed his brow, seeing how he had persuaded Gu Sheng to come here after much difficulty, only to see it not work in the end?
Nobody expected that Ou Yanan dashed out at this moment, circled the end of the bed, and grabbed the person who was about to escape with the fastest speed, exclaiming excitedly, "How long do you plan to hide? I’m telling you, I’ve called her sister. But do you know, she’s dying to hear who calls her sister! — She can’t hear, did you know?!"
The entanglement at the doorway turned the usually quiet hospital room into a chaotic mess. Tang Sili, wearing glasses and focused on the inspection report, seemingly dissatisfied, said aloud, "Let’s end it."
End it? What does that mean? Everyone paused for a moment. Ou Yanan turned to look at the teacher’s profile.
