Wen Jie wiped the sweat off Gu Tianmu’s forehead with a towel and ignored what Xiao Yuan said.
Gu Juexi found the doctor in his office and was surprised at what the doctor said to him.
“President Gu seems to have a very weak will to live, and it is one of the biggest reasons why he got infected. Having a weak will to live makes his immune system weak too,” the doctor explained.
“Weak will to live?” Gu Juexi mumbled. Were they talking about the same person? How would someone like Gu Tianmu ever have a weak will to live?
“Yes,” the doctor reaffirmed his suspicions, “I am not sure what happened, but it seems to have something to do with family. Bringing more family members to visit him should help.”
Gu Juexi couldn’t remember how he left the doctor’s office, still in disbelief that Gu Tianmu had a weak will to live.
Wen Jie was still there when Gu Juexi got back to the ward.
“What did the doctor say?” Wen Jie looked at her son and asked.
Gu Juexi had been staring at Gu Tianmu the moment he stepped into the ward and regained focus only after Wen Jie threw the question at him.
“Nothing much. He will be fine after the fever subsides. Please go home and get some rest, Mom. I will be here to look after him,” answered Gu Juexi.
Wen Jie was indeed worn out after the whole day at the hospital and took Gu Juexi’s suggestion to go home together with Xiao Yuan and Butler Kim.
After sending them off, Gu Juexi sat down beside Gu Tianmu’s bed and looked at the man he resembled.
“You owe Mom and I so much. Don’t you think it is unfair if you leave just like that?” Gu Juexi scoffed, but there was no response from the man lying on the bed.
Gu Juexi didn’t say anything else. He continued to stare at Gu Tianmu, the man he had hated his whole life, who was now lying in hospital surviving only with the help of life support.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei who had dinner at home arrived at the hospital with Gu Juexi’s dinner. Gu Juexi was still sitting beside Gu Tianmu’s bed looking at him when Ye Yuwei got to the ward.
“Have your dinner,” said Ye Yuwei as she entered and put Gu Juexi’s dinner on the desk.
Gu Juexi nodded and looked at the time. Just as the doctor said, Gu Tianmu had been running a fever for almost twelve hours with no sign of recovering.
Ye Yuwei made sure that Gu Juexi had his dinner and went to the washroom to get a fresh wet towel. She reached out to place the wet towel on Gu Tianmu’s forehead and was shocked when her hand touched his skin.
“Why is his temperature so high?” Ye Yuwei exclaimed.
Gu Juexi put down his chopsticks and held Gu Tianmu’s hand when Ye Yuwei alerted him, instantly feeling Gu Tianmu’s heated skin.
“Doctor, doctor!” Gu Juexi called out loudly before he could even start eating his dinner.
Gu Juexi punched the wall when Gu Tianmu was sent to the emergency department again. He punched it so hard that Ye Yuwei could feel the wall shake.
“Everything is going to be okay. Now that everything has finally come to an end, doesn’t he want to start over with Mom?” Ye Yuwei put her hand on Gu Juexi’s shoulder and comforted him.
“Such a coward,” Gu Juexi suddenly snarled and turned around. He turned so unexpectedly that Ye Yuwei would have been flung away if she hadn’t taken a step back.
“He is such a coward! He would rather die than face us, and a man like him doesn’t deserve forgiveness!” Gu Juexi’s voice got louder as he spoke, and his rage kept everyone away from him, even Ye Yuwei.
But Ye Yuwei wasn’t afraid of him. Instead, she felt happy that Gu Juexi had finally vented his feelings towards Gu Tianmu.
