Chapter 653 The Strongest Enemy
Gu Changle was displeased.
Now that Shao Tianze said so, Gu Changle stopped asking. She nodded and said, “Then let Miaomiao come tomorrow. I want to ask her if she had fun in Harbor City.”
“OK.”
Shao Tianze responded.
Gu Changle did not continue to pester but said with concern, “You just came back from Harbor City and you must be tired. Have a good rest first.”
“I’ll see you in the hospital at night.”
“OK,” Gu Changle tenderly responded.
Then, Shao Tianze hung up the phone.
Miaomiao watched her father make the call.
After Shao Tianze hung up the phone, Miaomiao said, “Dad, are we going to the hospital?”
Hearing his daughter’s question, Shao Tianze smiled, “No. I will accompany Changle at night. You will go back to sleep.”
Miaomiao nodded vaguely. Her father held her hands, and they entered the house.
As Shao Tianze was holding his daughter’s fingers, he heaved a sigh after entering the house.
He knew Gu Changle wanted to see Miaomiao but didn’t know why.
It appeared that Gu Changle wanted a child very much but could not realize her wish.
Although she seemed to have accepted Miaomiao and Yi, she still showed signs of harming the two children at any moment.
Therefore, Shao Tianze had always tried to avoid Gu Changle from contacting his two children.
After returning home, Shao Tianze took Miaomiao to the nurse. Before leaving home for the Shao enterprise, Shao Tianze asked the nurse to take good care of Miaomiao.
Knowing that Miaomiao was back, Shao Xue immediately ran to her.
Seeing Shao Xue, Miaomiao took off her hair clip and showed it to Shao Xue, “See, aunt. This is a gift from my brother.”
Seeing the hair clip that Miaomiao handed over, Shao Xue smiled and took it. She observed and commented, “Beautiful.”
Miaomiao was happy, “My brother chose it, so it is beautiful anyway.”
Hearing Miaomiao’s words, Shao Xue knew that the brother and sister’s relationship had not changed, no matter how far apart they were.
Shao Xue sighed softly in her heart and said, “Well, are you tired, Miaomiao?”
Hearing her aunt’s question, Miaomiao shook her head, “No, I am not tired.”
She had taken a long flight from Harbor City to Yuncheng, but she was happy and energetic because she had met her brother.
As long as she saw her brother, she felt that this trip was meaningful.
Shao Xue could see that Miaomiao was spirited. She raised her hand to stroke Miaomiao’s hair and said, “Good. If you are not tired, let’s go eat something, shall we?”
Hearing her aunt’s words, Miaomiao nodded and followed her aunt to have something to eat.
Shao Xue had informed the housekeeper and people in the kitchen to prepare snacks for Miaomiao.
Miaomiao and Shao Xue were eating snacks in the living room.
Shao Tianze went to the Shao enterprise.
After Shao Xue confirmed that Shao Tianze had left, she took Miaomiao, who had finished eating her snack, back to the room.
After asking the nurse and the housekeeper to leave, Shao Xue squatted in front of Miaomiao and asked her, “What did your brother say to you?”
Hearing Shao Xue’s question, Miaomiao pursed her lips and said, “My brother said…”
Miaomiao hesitated.
Shao Xue looked at her, “Said what?”
Shao Xue believed that Gu Yi must have said something to Miaomiao when Miaomiao was in Harbor City this time.
However, she was not clear about the specific content.
She would have a clear idea after asking Miaomiao.
Seeing her aunt asking her this way, Miaomiao hesitated for a moment and said, “My brother asked me to protect myself.”
“Anything else?”
Miaomiao shook her head, “Nothing else.”
Shao Xue felt sad.
Their mother had pa.s.sed away. Their aunt had an abnormal relationship with their father, wanting to hurt them all the time.
Gu Yi was a smart and keen child. Although young, he could see the situation clearly.
But Miaomiao was different. She was aware of the danger but could not protect herself.
She was too young to smoothly avoid danger even if she realized it.
Shao Xue raised her hand, seized Miaomiao’s arms, and said, “Good girl, do as what your brother said.”
Miaomiao frowned and asked Shao Xue with confusion, “Aunt, is someone trying to hurt me?”
Being asked by Miaomiao, Shao Xue pursed her lips slightly and didn’t know how to answer Miaomiao.
The Shao Family was full of crises. There was indeed someone wanting to harm Miaomiao.
However, it was inappropriate to say such things to the child bluntly.
With a weak will, the child might not be able to bear such fear.
After thinking carefully and putting on a gentle expression, Shao Xue said to Miaomiao, “Miaomiao, there are dangers everywhere in life. Your brother wanted you to protect yourself not because you are in danger now. He only wanted to remind you that no matter where you go and whoever you meet in the future, you must protect yourself. Do you understand?”
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Miaomiao was puzzled.
After all, she was still young and couldn’t fully understand what Shao Xue said.
Seeing Miaomiao’s confused eyes, Shao Xue laughed, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand now. You will understand when you get older.”
Hearing her aunt’s words, Miaomiao nodded bewilderedly.
Seeing Miaomiao nodding, Shao Xue smiled lightly and soothed her, “Well, we have finished our snacks. Have a good rest, will you?”
“Go to bed after eating? I might gain weight.”
She was a little worried.
Hearing what Miaomiao had said, Shao Xue couldn’t help laughing. She reached out and scratched the bridge of Miaomiao’s nose, “You little girl care about gaining weight?”
Miaomiao smiled, “Because my brother said he wanted to grow up quickly. I also want to grow up as fast as my brother. And I must look good, so I can stand by my brother’s side.”
“You think too much at your young age.”
Shao Xue looked at her and smiled.
…
As promised to Gu Changle before, Shao Tianze went to the hospital to see Gu Changle after finishing his work and leaving the Shao enterprise in the afternoon.
Gu Changle saw Shao Tianze coming, and her eyes were narrowed to crescents. She called him, “Tianze.”
“How do you do today?”
Shao Tianze asked her.
Gu Changle slightly shook her head and put her fingers on her chest, “I still feel uncomfortable.”
As a matter of fact, her condition was much better than the previous few days.
However, if she had told Shao Tianze the truth, Shao Tianze would have no longer cared about her, believing her condition had improved and devoting all his energy to Miaomiao.
Although Miaomiao was merely a child, Gu Changle didn’t want Shao Tianze to spend all his energy on the child.
Gu Changle said that she was uncomfortable, which immediately caused Shao Tianze to knit his eyebrows.
He felt worried. Gu Changle’s situation gradually deteriorated. However, regarding the organs required for Gu Changle’s operation, there had been no progress at all.
Gu Changle knitted her brows and said, “Can I go home to recuperate?”
“No. It’s inappropriate.”
No matter how Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze to let her go home to recover from her illness, Shao Tianze refused.
Gu Changle knew the reason.
She reached out to hold Shao Tianze’s hand and looked at him, “Are you always refusing to let me go home to recover because you are afraid that I will hurt Miaomiao?”
“Not because of this. I have told you that.”
“So, what’s the reason?” Gu Changle frowned and asked Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze sighed before answering her, “Your physical condition simply does not allow you to go home to recuperate. I don’t want you to take the risk. Do you understand?”
Gu Changle shook her head, “I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all.”
She became emotional, “Do you understand how I feel in the hospital all this time, Tianze? I feel terrified every day. I am afraid that after I go to bed, I won’t be able to wake up the next day. I want to live with you all my life. But now…”
Shao Tianze reached out to take her fingers, held her fingers in his palm, and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Changle. Don’t be too nervous. There can’t be anything wrong with your condition.”
“Although you said so, there has been no progress at all, has there?”
“I’m already working on it.”
“There is no way, is there?” Gu Changle looked at Shao Tianze, staring at him, “You know it in your heart, don’t you? If I can’t find a suitable heart as good as Gu Changge’s, I will definitely die this time. Isn’t it clear in your heart?”
“Changle, calm down. Listen to me.”
“Liar. I don’t want to listen to you anymore. Everything is deceptive. You are lying to me.”
Gu Changle covered her ears with her hands, not wanting to hear anything Shao Tianze said.
Seeing Gu Changle was so excited, Shao Tianze pursed his lips and said, “I swear to you. There will be nothing wrong with you.”
“What’s the use of your swear? I’m going to die.”
Gu Changle’s emotion was running high. As time pa.s.sed by, the suitable organ had still not been found. That not only caused a lot of pressure on Shao Tianze but also made Gu Changle gloomy everyday.
She was under such heavy pressure that she could barely breathe.
Shao Tianze wanted to hold her fingers to calm her down.
However, Gu Changle forcibly took her fingers away from Shao Tianze’s hand, not allowing Shao Tianze to touch her fingers at all.
Seeing Gu Changle’s reaction, Shao Tianze pursed his lips.
After a long time, he solemnly said to Gu Changle, “Changle, do you know who the strongest enemy is right now?”
Being asked by Shao Tianze, Gu Changle could not help squinting.
Who was the strongest enemy?
The strongest enemies were, of course, the two thorns left by Gu Changge.
She squinted her eyes and said nothing.
Shao Tianze said, “Your strongest enemy is yourself, Changle.”
