âAuntie, you should go back home first. Iâll stay here tonight. You can rest assured; Shaoting will be fine,â He Ming persuaded.
âAlright then, Iâll leave later. Thank you,â Song Can knew there was no use in staying.
The next day, Shu Pan dropped Joy off at Ye Xiaomengâs place.
âXiaomeng, can you please look after Joy for me? I need to visit someone in the hospital,â Shu Pan reluctantly requested, thankful that Xiaomeng was available.
âNo problem, Iâm more than happy to help. But who are you going to see?â Xiaomeng asked nonchalantly, thinking that Shu Pan didnât know anyone in Bin City.
âItâs Gu Shaoting. He was in a car accident yesterday,â Shu Pan replied.
âWhy do you care about him? Are you Virgin Mary, or are you competing for the title of âBest Ex-Wifeâ?â Xiaomeng sarcastically remarked, still furious about what Gu Shaoting had done before.
âHe got hit trying to save Joy and me. I canât just ignore him,â Shu Pan smiled wryly, understanding that Xiaomeng was defending her.
Itâs great to have such a best friend; what more could one ask for in life?
âHe got what he deserved⦠itâs his karma, â Xiaomeng was still indignant.
âXiaomengâ¦â Shu Pan stopped her from saying anything more hurtful.
âAlright, soft-hearted people are easy to take advantage of, and youâre one of them,â Xiaomeng shook her head, somewhat disappointed.
âI wonât be taken advantage of. Donât worry. Thank you for your help. Iâll go now, and Iâll be back soon,â Shu Pan bid farewell to Joy and headed to the hospital.
Before arriving at the hospital, Shu Pan brought congee and eggs for breakfast for He Ming.
When she arrived, He Ming was sitting in a chair outside the intensive care unit. His hair was disheveled, and there were red lines in his eyes from staying up all night. He looked quite exhausted.
âThanks,â He Ming accepted the breakfast and hungrily ate. After staying up all night, he was truly tired.
âWhat did the doctor say? Has he woken up yet?â Shu Pan was truly worried about hearing bad news.
âThe doctor said everything is stable. Heâll probably wake up today,â He Mingâs words were like a soothing balm for her.
Shu Panâs heart settled a bit. If something were to happen to Gu Shaoting, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
âThatâs good,â Shu Pan also took a seat on the resting chair.
Suddenly, the door to the intensive care unit opened, and a doctor came out.
âAre you the family members of Gu Shaoting? You can go in and see him now; weâll conduct a detailed examination later,â the doctor said after removing his mask.
âWeâre here. Whatâs the situation?â He Ming and Shu Pan approached.
âThe patient has regained consciousness. You can go in and see him now. Weâll conduct a detailed examination later,â the doctorâs words filled them with joy.
He Ming immediately shared this good news with Song Can.
They entered the room and saw Gu Shaoting, dressed in a hospital gown, sitting on the bed. The warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden glow on his hair. However, he had a bewildered expression and seemed somewhat different from his usual self.
âShaoting, how are you feeling? Do you have any discomfort?â He Ming walked up to the bed and asked Gu Shaoting first.
Shu Pan entered as well and placed Gu Shaotingâs personal belongings on the bedside table.
Gu Shaoting gazed at the two newcomers with confusion, unsure of who they were.
âWho are you? Who am I?â Gu Shaoting asked innocently.
âCome on, buddy, donât mess around. Do you think this is a TV drama?â He
Ming patted his shoulder and said with a smile..
