"Tell him I'll leave and never see him again, but only after he's recovered."
Xiao Anjing said helplessly, "Miss Gu, please let Tianyi go. You know you two won't have a future. After he recovers, he's going to marry Miss Shu. He needs the Shu family's help to achieve his dreams. You can't help him with anything, so why make things difficult for him?"
"I know. I wish him and Shu Yan happiness. I... I just want to see him get better." Gu Susu said this seemingly lightly, but her heart was bleeding.
"Miss Gu, do you know Tianyi's dream?"
"No."
Xiao Anjing said, "Because of you, he has disrupted his plans several times and even thought about giving up his dream."
"What is his dream?"
"Never mind, you wouldn't want to know. It's different from your life aspirations."
"But I want to know." Gu Susu suddenly realized that she had never cared about Qin Tianyi's affairs and knew nothing about him.
"I'm sorry, I've said a lot of things I should and shouldn't have said to you today. I should leave. Since you and Tianyi no longer have fate, there's no need to know too much." With that, Xiao Anjing turned and quickly left the ward.
Gu Susu stood frozen, clutching the bank card tightly in her hand, her heart aching terribly. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face.
Wei Yani, holding a vase and humming a tune, walked into the ward. Seeing Gu Susu crying, she quickly asked, "Susu, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Gu Susu lowered her head, continuing to cry, too heartbroken to speak a word.
"What did that guy say? Did he bully you? I'll go chase him and beat him up!" Saying this, Wei Yani put down the vase and was about to go after him.
Gu Susu grabbed her hand and said, "Don't be impulsive. No, he didn't say anything, he was just passing a message for Qin Tianyi."
"Your ex-husband is really something. Why can't he say things himself and has to find someone to relay messages?" Wei Yani said indignantly.
"He's injured and can't come."
"Fine, even if he can't come in person, he can video call or message you. There are plenty of ways if he wants to contact you." Wei Yani was still very displeased.
This made Gu Susu even sadder. Yani was right, there were many ways he could have spoken to her in person.
It seemed he didn't want to contact her, see her, or hear her voice.
Gu Susu looked at the bank card in her hand again. But what did this mean? Telling her about this money, letting her raise the child alone, when it was clear he was the child's biological father.
The thought made her heart ache. She wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth, and said to Wei Yani, "I'm fine. If he won't come to see me, I'll go see him. I want to, I must see him!"
Wei Yani didn't know how to persuade her anymore. She just felt that relationships were so tiring. It seemed Gu Susu was deeply entangled.
The next morning, after Gu Susu was discharged from the hospital, she didn't rest for a moment.
Upon returning to the apartment, Gu Susu didn't see Xiao Mei. She figured she must have gone back to the villa.
Gu Susu changed her clothes, put on light makeup, felt her complexion was alright, packed some things, and prepared to go to the hospital where Qin Tianyi was recuperating.
Just as she was about to leave, she ran into Xiao Mei, who was returning with a lot of groceries.
"Miss Gu, are you discharged? Where is the young master?" Xiao Mei asked, looking inside as she carried the groceries, a little disappointed not to see Xiao Xingxing.
Gu Susu looked at her, surprised that she had bought groceries. "Xiao Xingxing has a friend taking care of him. He's doing well. Didn't you go back to the villa? Where is Chen Ma? Is she taking care of Tianyi at the hospital?"
"Yes." Xiao Mei's eyes were moist as she said, "I've been with Chen Ma taking care of the young master at the hospital lately, so I couldn't visit you. The young master... he's not doing very well."
"Didn't they say he's out of danger and not life-threatening?"
"Yes, the young master's life was saved, but he's been lying in bed, unable to get up, and his temper is terrible."
"He was shot. It won't be that easy to recover completely. He'll definitely need a good period of treatment. As for his temper, it's always been bad, and now he's even more upset, but he'll get better."
"I hope so." Xiao Mei held back the tears that were about to fall. "I see Chen Ma working day and night at the hospital, and I'm afraid she'll fall ill."
Gu Susu smiled at her and said, "I've fully recovered now. I can go take care of Tianyi and let Chen Ma go back to rest."
"Miss Gu, that's wonderful."
"By the way, what are you doing with so many groceries?"
Xiao Mei looked at the groceries in her phone and quickly said, "I need to hurry and cook soup and dishes. Chen Ma asked me to make something delicious and nutritious to take to the hospital later."
Gu Susu put down her bag, rolled up her sleeves, and helped carry a bag of groceries to the kitchen. "I'll help you. It'll be faster this way."
"Okay, thank you, Miss Gu."
Gu Susu and Xiao Mei divided the tasks, stir-fried a few of Qin Tianyi's favorite dishes, and started simmering the soup.
They packed the food and were just waiting for the soup.
Gu Susu remembered the awkward encounter with Shu Yan outside the intensive care unit last time, and she didn't want any more conflict with Shu Yan.
"Xiao Mei, have you been taking care of Tianyi at the hospital recently?"
"Yes, I have to help Chen Ma. Otherwise, she's old, and she'll collapse if she does it alone."
"Then... what about Miss Shu? Didn't she volunteer to stay at the hospital to take care of Tianyi? Doesn't she help you with anything?"
When Xiao Mei heard her mention Shu Yan, she got angry. "That Miss Shu comes to the ward every day, but she never takes care of the young master. She's always bossy, which makes the young master, who's already in a bad mood, even more irritable, causing chaos for everyone."
Gu Susu thought that this young lady probably couldn't do anything. She asked again, "When does she usually go to the ward? Has she been today?"
"She came this morning, saying she was bringing him porridge she personally made. The young master didn't like it much and only ate a couple of bites. After she left, Chen Ma secretly told me that the porridge was probably bought outside, with too much salt and oyster sauce, not suitable for the young master who is recovering."
Gu Susu worried about Qin Tianyi's health and said, "Fortunately, Tianyi didn't eat much."
"Yes, the young master is picky. Besides the home-cooked meals he's used to, he doesn't like anything made outside. So, as soon as Miss Shu left, Chen Ma told me to pour the porridge away." Xiao Mei said, smiling happily.
Gu Susu also felt relieved in her heart, thinking that after the soup was ready, she and Xiao Mei would go to the hospital together, and they wouldn't encounter Shu Yan.
She and Xiao Mei arrived at the inpatient department of Lancheng's largest hospital and found that Qin Tianyi had been moved to a regular VIP ward.
When she pushed open the ward door, she saw Qin Tianyi lying on the hospital bed, with a ventilator inserted into his nose and mouth, his eyes closed.
Chen Ma, seeing that Gu Susu had also arrived besides Xiao Mei, quickly took the thermos from her hand and whispered, "Young Madam, why are you here? Are you feeling better?"
