Gu Lingsha trembled when she saw Gu Qiwu’s increasingly stormy face. She felt hot tears in her eyes, as she walked up to him in panic.
“I’m sorry, Father! It’s all my fault! I thought that Mu Lings.h.i.+ was going to hurt Mother. That’s why I…I didn’t expect that I’d make her fall down the stairs. I also couldn’t have known that Mother is pregnant. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have…Father, don’t be sad. Heaven helps the worthy. She and Little Brother will be fine. They’ll be fine!” Gu Lingsha started to explain to Gu Qiwu incoherently, yet when he heard that, he seemed to look worse!
“Father, don’t be like this! Mother will be fine! Calm down!”
Gu Lingsha’s beautiful eyes could not help but tear up. She resented Mu Yuchen and Mu Lings.h.i.+ for causing all this trouble, yet when she thought about that, all the scenes from the past flashed into her mind!
Could Mu Zi really have had a relations.h.i.+p with her father, Gu Qiwu?
Were Mu Lingtian and Mu Lings.h.i.+ really her siblings?
Gu Qiwu glared at Gu Lingsha, then suddenly called out to Ah Yong, “Ah Yong, come here!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Ah Yong quickly went over. Gu Qiwu lowered his head and said a few words to him. At first, Ah Yong was stunned, then nodded. Gu Lingsha wanted to listen to their conversation, yet when she moved closer, Ah Yong suddenly got up. His hand accidentally brushed the fringe on her forehead, so she felt a faint pain, but before she could react, he had already left.
“Yes! Boss, don’t worry. I promise to get it done!” Ah Yong a.s.sured and his tall figure immediately walked towards the corridor. Meanwhile, the remaining bodyguards stood guard at the corridor, not allowing anyone to get close.
“Father, you…”
With regard to Gu Qiwu’s weird actions, Gu Lingsha finally could not help but probe. She did not feel any concern from Gu Qiwu, only anger!
‘Why was he angry? It must be because of this commotion that Mu Yuchen and Mu Lings.h.i.+ had caused!’ Gu Lingsha thought to herself.
“Alright, Shasha, that’s enough. We’ll see how your mother is doing first. Things at the banquet are almost done. Father and the rest are rus.h.i.+ng over, so it’ll be fine. Don’t frighten yourself.”
The one who had spoken was Qi Feng. He also thought that Gu Qiwu was in an odd mood tonight. Of course, he was not focused on Doris’s pregnancy but on Gu Qiwu’s relations.h.i.+p with Mu Zi!
That proved that the information Morrison had shown him before was true. Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi did have a past. In fact, Mu Lingtian and Mu Lings.h.i.+ were definitely Gu Qiwu’s children. Otherwise, a woman like Elder Madam Mu would not have toppled upon such news!
Thus, the truth was that tonight, Mu Yuchen wanted to use the opportunity to uplift Mu Zi, and get a statement on behalf of Mu Lings.h.i.+. However, he did not expect things to play out the way it had.
No wonder Gu Qiwu looked extremely unhappy. While no one knew about the agreement between Doris and Gu Qiwu, Qi Feng was very clear about it. If Gu Qiwu betrayed Doris, according to the agreement, not only would he need to divorce her, but he would also have to pay a heavy price.
This was also the reason why Gu Qiwu had always gone by the book and dared not cross any lines as he focused on loving Doris.
Of course, everyone understood that Gu Qiwu was indeed loyal towards Doris as well. Now that this mess was made, he was sure that Gu Qiwu must be extremely angry, and next, he would be waiting for Mu Yuchen…
Like Gu Lingsha, he thought this way, and the doubts that he had at first were instantly resolved!
Upon hearing Qi Feng, Gu Lingsha stopped, and she looked at Gu Qiwu with a mixed expression before she walked to Qi Feng’s side.
The light above the operating theatre was still on. They were not sure how long they had waited for, but it was a while that Gu Lingsha felt her legs becoming numb. Finally…
Ka—
Pa—
The light of the operating theatre suddenly went off, then the door opened. A doctor donning a white robe walked out.
“Doctor!”
Upon seeing that, Gu Lingsha quickly went up and anxiously held the doctor by the sleeve. She could not help but look at the operating theatre as she asked worriedly, “Doctor, how did it go? How’s my mother? Is she okay?”
The doctor took off his mask, breathed in, and said with a solemn expression, “I’m sorry. We did our best. The patient is an elderly pregnant woman. That itself was already a fragile condition. In fact, she’s not in the best of health. The fetus was easily affected. This time, the impact was too strong, so we couldn’t save the child. The patient’s in a rather unstable condition too and she’ll need to stay in the intensive care unit for observation.”
“What did you say? You couldn’t save him? What does that mean? How’s that possible? Are all you doctors useless?” When Gu Lingsha heard that, she panicked!
She obviously did not forget the way Doris had slapped her hard and shot her a vicious gaze! One could tell that Doris cared a lot about this child!
If she lost it because of her, Gu Lingsha could only imagine how furious her mother was going to be!
She dared not imagine it!
Even though Doris was usually quite good to her daughter, when it came to certain things, Doris was very strong-headed and principled about it. Gu Lingsha had also always been slightly fearful of her mother. In fact, just recently, their relations.h.i.+p had been strained, and now with this incident, it made things worse!
“No way! There’s no way you couldn’t save it! You’re lying to me! She just rolled down the stairs. There’s no way she could’ve lost it so easily! Find a way. Think of something!”
Gu Lingsha trembled and she began to feel dazed as she quickly clutched the doctor’s s.h.i.+rt and shook him hard.
“Miss, please calm down! We’ve done our best!”
“Shasha! Calm down!”
“Madam, please calm down! Let go of the doctor first!”
Upon seeing Gu Lingsha on the verge of losing control, Qi Feng quickly signaled the bodyguards beside him who went up to pull her away.
“The patient will be sent to the intensive care ward soon because her body is weak and fatigued. She is going to need rest. Later on, the nurse will explain what requires attention.”
