"I feel fine, I'm fine. "He's old …"
The corner of Gu Yalan's mouth twitched as she smiled at him. In his smiling eyes, there was a flash of starlight.
Hearing footsteps, turning his head to look.
"Mengmeng …" This is... An Ge? "
It had been a few years since they last met, and Gu Yalan was still a little unsure when she saw Lin Ange.
"Auntie, it's me."
Lin Ange walked up to her and said with a smile.
"An Ge, it's really you … "My poor child, you must have suffered a lot these past few years …"
As she spoke, Gu Yalan's eyes became moist, her pale face carrying a deep look of love.
Lin Ange and Gu Mengmeng had been on good terms since childhood, so they often played at home.
Helan Jing and her were like their own children to these two.
Four years ago, it was rumored that Lin Ange was buried in that great fire. Gu Yalan cried for a long time.
Lin Ange said warmly as she held Gu Yalan's hand.
"Auntie, these past few years, I've been pretty good. I didn't suffer much. Auntie, I'm sorry. I wanted to see you as soon as I got back. However, there were too many things to do. If he kept dragging things out, then …
"I'm fine. I know you're busy, but isn't Mengmeng the same? "Ai, seeing you alive and well, I can finally relax …"
Gu Yalan tilted her head and looked at her, her eyes flashing with a kind gaze.
Gu Mengmeng forced herself to get closer to Lin Ange and stood next to her.
"Mom, tell Geiger to sit down."
"Ah, good …"
Gu Yalan agreed over and over again.
Gu Mengmeng asked Lin Ange to sit down while she said to Gu Nianshi.
"Doctor Gu, is there anything else my mom needs to pay attention to?"
Gu Nianshi replied warmly after he understood.
"Well, come with me to the office."
"Alright."
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mom, let's talk. I'll be right back."
"Alright."
Gu Yalan replied weakly. She glanced at Gu Nianshi with her tired eyes. The emotions in them were very complicated. It seemed like she wanted to tell him something, but in the end, she couldn't.
Gu Mengmeng and Gu Nianshi walked out and lightly closed the door.
Lin Ange and Gu Yalan were the only ones left in the ward. The thick scent of Disinfectant Liquid floating in the air made people feel suppressed for some reason.
"Auntie, do you want some water?"
Lin Ange asked with concern.
Gu Yalan shook her head and whispered.
"An Ge, sit and chat with me."
"Alright." Lin Ange obediently agreed.
Gu Yalan tilted her head to the side. There was no trace of blood on her lips, and her once beautiful and charming face revealed a trace of weariness. She appeared to be in a weak and sickly state.
"An Ge, it's fortunate that you're still alive. It's also fortunate that you're back …"
As Lin Ange listened to her ramble on, a bad feeling rose in her heart.
Indeed.
Gu Yalan continued before she could reply.
"An Ge, Auntie knows that Auntie doesn't have much time left in this world …" "Cough, cough …"
"Auntie …"
Lin Ange grabbed her hand. Her eyes flickered and she was shocked speechless.
"An Ge, I entrust Meng to you. Don't underestimate that girl. However, his heart was very weak. She followed me since she was young, and didn't enjoy a day of fatherly love. She received quite a few supercilious looks … I... "I let her down …"
Gu Yalan's breath was a little unstable, and her voice was getting softer and softer.
"Auntie, I'll go get you a glass of water."
Lin Ange didn't want to directly tell her not to talk anymore, so she found an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yalan pulled her along as if she was giving instructions on how to deal with future matters.
"An Ge, auntie doesn't want to drink water. Auntie just wants to talk to you …"
Gu Yalan's eyes were filled with hope.
Lin Ange's eyes were red, and she could not bear to refuse. She could only sit down and quietly listen.
"An Ge, there are some things that I have been hiding from Mengmeng. He originally wanted to never tell her about it, but now … "
Gu Yalan's aura was very weak. Her face was pale to the point that it was almost transparent. Even her tiny capillaries could be seen clearly.
"Auntie …"
Lin Ange's heart ached when she saw her current state.
It was just like twelve years ago, when her mother died.
She also held her hand and spoke weakly.
That was the first time she had faced death head-on.
And today, she once again felt this kind of aura, one that caused one to suffocate and collapse.
Her long, curling eyelashes blinked as they were covered with pearl flowers. They hung there, but did not fall, and she was visibly moved.
She vaguely felt that Gu Yalan had something very important to say to her, and it was about Gu Mengmeng.
His heart suddenly clenched.
"Auntie, since there are some things that you have to hide from the beginning, you should keep it a secret."
"An Ge, but I'm worried. If I leave, Meng Meng won't have a single family member left." "I'm afraid …"
Tears rolled down from the corners of Gu Yalan's eyes, her eyes filled with endless worry.
"Auntie, don't talk nonsense. Rest in peace and you'll be fine. Besides, what about Meng Meng? I will take care of her. I won't let her be bullied. "
Lin Ange held Gu Yalan's hand with both of her hands and pulled up the corners of her lips. There was a faint smile on her pretty face.
"Thank you, An Ge."
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yalan's mouth.
"Auntie …"
Creak.
The door to the ward opened and Gu Mengmeng walked in with a thermos in her hand.
Lin Ange and Gu Yalan stopped chatting and raised their heads to look at her.
"Why are all of you looking at me? Is there something on my face? "
Gu Mengmeng pretended to be relaxed, but no matter how she giggled, she could not hide the sadness within her sadness.
"Yes." There is something on your face. "
Lin Ange let go of Gu Yalan's hand and stood up. After pulling out a tissue, he walked over to Gu Mengmeng and wiped her cheeks. As if there really was something on her face.
Lin Ange whispered into her ear in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Auntie seems to know everything now?" Pay attention. "
"Hmm?"
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for a second before calming down and whispering.
"Alright, I will pay attention."
After which, he pretended to be angry.
"Ge Ge, what is that thing? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I didn't notice it before."
Lin Ange explained with a smile.
Gu Yalan looked at their affectionate expressions and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
However, he was still a bit unhappy because he hadn't finished what he wanted to say to Lin Ange.
"..."
Lu Yiyao and Ding Mo walked out of Gu Nianshi's office and went straight to Lu Jinhui's ward.
Lu Yixun had already arrived and was wiping Lu Jinhui's hands with a hot towel. Upon seeing him enter, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"Third Brother, you came."
"Second Sister, leave these matters to the nurse."
Lu Yiyao's attitude towards her was much better than Lu Hongzhan.
For one thing, Lu Yixun had a gentle and kind personality, never taking part in the clan's affairs.
Secondly, she truly treated Lu Yiyao as her own brother and never underestimated him because he was an illegitimate child.
