Chapter 572 - Accidental Pregnancy (22)
Qin Zhi’ai ended the call since no one answered.
While tapping her phone with her fingertips, she wondered aloud, “Nuannuan, what are you doing now? I need to borrow Wu Hao’s car to get to Hangzhou…”
Why does she need to borrow a car? She plans on driving to Hangzhou overnight?
Gu Yusheng frowned and, without hesitation, took out his phone, made a call, and then said, “Xiaowang, drive to the hospital at once.”
Ending his call, Gu Yusheng glanced at Qin Zhi’ai, who was still standing at the door trying to reach Xu Wennuan.
She knew Xu Wennuan didn’t always answer her calls, making Qin Zhi’ai so anxious she was about to cry.
Gu Yusheng pushed his quilt back and got out of bed. Regardless of the piercing pain in his back, he walked to her, took away her phone, and said, “Xiaowang will be here soon. Let him drive you to Hangzhou.”
What he did not mentioned was that he would accompany them.
……
They arrived at the Hangzhou People’s Hospital at 9:00 a.m.
As soon as Xiaowang parked the car, Qin Zhi’ai opened the door, jumped out, and rushed to the in-patient department.
When she got to the room, her mother was restfully sleeping in bed.
A young nurse watching over her mother immediately stood up.
Upon seeing how Qin Zhi’ai looked so similar to her mother, the nurse instantly realized who she was. “I presume you are her daughter?”
Qin Zhi’ai nodded and then asked in haste, “How is she?”
“Your mother is fine now; she woke up this morning. She wasn’t injured, per se, but she was in such deep shock that she sank into a coma for a while. Her poor general health has made her quite weak, so the doctor has advised her to stay in the hospital to recover for a few days.”
Qin Zhi’ai was relieved to hear the nurse’s summary. She took her mother’s hospitalization form, went downstairs to finish the paperwork, and paid the bill. After returning to her mother’s room, she sat with her and held her hands until she felt her pulse steady, reassuring her further that her mother would be okay.
Suddenly, she remembered that Gu Yusheng and Xiaowang had accompanied her from Beijing to Hangzhou.
She quickly left the room and called Xiaowang. Before he could answer, she saw Gu Yusheng’s car parked outside through a window.
She hung up, took the elevator, and ran to the car.
Exhausted, both Xiaowang and Gu Yusheng were sleeping in their car seats.
Gu Yusheng especially had been tired having checked out of his hospital so suddenly, and his face was frighteningly pale.
Qin Zhi’ai had been so worried about her mother that she had forgotten them when they’d arrived that morning. She repeatedly expressed her apologies, saying, “It was so very kind of you! Thank you…”
Gu Yusheng frowned and interrupted her expressions of appreciation by asking, “How is your mother?”
“She’s fine now. She finally woke up this morning and is now peacefully sleeping her way to recovery.”
She paused, suddenly realizing that they hadn’t eaten anything since they left Beijing yesterday. “Master Gu, Chauffeur Wang, let me treat you both to a meal!”
