At that moment, the man on the phone said to Gu Qingcheng, “It’s good that you are Miss Gu. Please come to the address I am about to give you.”
Gu Qingcheng disliked these kinds of inexplicable people saying inexplicable things.
“Get lost!”
She coldly spat out a word and hung up the phone.
The strange call came through once again, and Gu Qingcheng, with a frown, hung up.
Just as she was about to block the number, another call came through.
This time, she angrily answered the phone, ready to burst into a tirade.
“You are a friend of Qi Shaoze, right? His phone has you set as an emergency contact. He got drunk, had a fight with someone, and is now in the emergency room. Please, Miss Gu, come over.”
Gu Qingcheng swallowed back the angry words she was about to utter, her eyebrows tightly knitted, “I am the emergency contact?”
“Yes, Miss Gu, you are the emergency contact,’ the person on the phone continued, “Please come.”
Gu Qingcheng replied, “I don’t have time, and since you know it’s Qi Shaoze, please contact Elder Qi.”
“We don’t have the Qi family’s contact details, so we ask Miss Gu to come. Mr.
Qi’s condition is very critical right now. Please.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to go, but she didn’t know how to contact Elder Qi either.
Reluctantly, she responded, “Tell me the address, I’m on my way.”
At the hospital, Gu Qingcheng, wearing a mask to cover her face, approached the reception and stated her name. The waiting female doctor, curious and pleased, gazed at Gu Qingcheng, whom she had only seen on TV or online, “I’ve long admired Miss Gu.”
Gu Qingcheng asked gently, “Where is Qi Shaoze?”
“The situation with Mr. Qi just stabilized. I’ll take you to his ward.”
Seeing Qi Shaoze in the ward, his face swollen and bandaged, wearing a patient’s gown and looking weak, Gu Qingcheng frowned.
In all the years she knew Qi Shaoze, she had never seen him so disheveled and miserable.
Qi Shaoze’s eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his peach blossom eyes, filled with bloodshot and confusion, as if he didn’t yet realize what had happened.
“What are you doing?” Gu Qingcheng walked over, looking at Qi Shaoze with displeasure, “Getting into a fight while drinking, was all your boxing training for nothing? You look so miserable, your grandfather will be worried.”
Qi Shaoze saw Gu Qingcheng’s angry but beautiful face. He looked at her hazily, his cracked lips parting as he asked hoarsely, “Why are you here?”
Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath to calm the urge to hit Qi Shaoze, sitting on a chair beside the bed.
“Guess how I got here?”
Qi Shaoze, seeing the anger in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, pursed his dry lips and said hoarsely, “I don’t know.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the pain in Qi Shaoze’s eyes, and the words of reprimand she had didn’t come out.
After all, they were still friends and hadn’t severed ties. She coldly asked, “Why did you set me as your emergency contact on your phone? Shouldn’t you have set it to your grandfather’s number?”
Qi Shaoze realized how Gu Qingcheng knew about his hospitalization. He spoke softly, “It might have been set a while ago. I forgot to remove it. I’ll delete you as the emergency contact later. Sorry for bothering you this time.”
“You’ve already bothered me, it’s too late for apologies,” Gu Qingcheng said with her arms crossed, leaning on the chair, and then asked, “What’s the old man’s phone number? I’ll contact him to come to the hospital.”
Hearing this, Qi Shaoze hurriedly said, “Don’t, my grandfather will be heartbroken and angry if he sees me like this. He’s old and can’t handle the stress. Please don’t contact him.”
Remembering the kind face of the old man, Gu Qingcheng gave up on the idea of contacting Elder Qi.
Elder Qi was indeed old and couldn’t withstand such emotional stress. It would only worry him about Qi Shaoze, causing trouble that she couldn’t bear.
“I’ll hire a caretaker for you,” she said, standing up. “I’m in a hurry to return to the villa and don’t have time to stay with you. Plus, you’ll probably be hospitalized for a few days. Having a caretaker would be better.”
Hearing Gu Qingcheng was in a hurry to return to the villa and unwilling to stay, a look of disappointment flashed in Qi Shaoze’s eyes.
“No need for a caretaker, I won’t be staying in the hospital,’ he said, then started to get up from the bed. ‘My hands and feet are fine, I can go home now.”
Gu Qingcheng ignored Qi Shaoze’s words and headed towards the door to find a caretaker.
A dull ‘thud’ sound followed.
Qi Shaoze gasped in pain.
Gu Qingcheng paused, turned around, and saw Qi Shaoze fallen on the floor.
“Are you crazy?” she rushed over to help Qi Shaoze. “Even if your hands and feet are fine, you’re injured all over. The worst fear is internal injuries. Don’t move around recklessly. Now you’ve fallen to the ground, do you want to die?” Listening to Gu Qingcheng’s angry scolding, Qi Shaoze’s mouth curved slightly.
It was nice, she was worried about him.
“I didn’t mean to fall.” His voice was gentle and apologetic. “My body hurts too much, and my legs are weak. I couldn’t stand steadily.”
“Stop making excuses,” Gu Qingcheng helped Qi Shaoze, angrily commanding, “Lie down!”
Qi Shaoze obediently lay back down like a scolded boy.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Qi Shaoze, feeling irritated.
“I promised my husband to go home for dinner tonight,” she said with a frown.
“I don’t have time to waste here. I’ll find a caretaker.’
In her heart, Huo Sicheng was more important than him.
He was unhappy. Even as a patient, he couldn’t make her look at him a bit longer or stay a bit longer with him.
“Ba…” He started to speak but immediately fell silent because if he called her ‘darling’, not only would Gu Qingcheng not hire a caretaker for him, but she would also leave the hospital immediately.
She hated him calling her darling, even though it was his exclusive affectionate name for her. Ever since Huo Sicheng entered their lives, not only was he forbidden bv Gu Qingcheng to call her darling, but even other nicknames were off-limits.
Huo Sicheng, always Huo Sicheng! He wished Huo Sicheng would die.
But…
A sinister calculation flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the dirty suit folded on the bedside table, reaching out to take a box from inside it.
Opening the box, he took a pill from it and swallowed it, then put the box back in the suit.
A few minutes later, his face turned pale as paper, with large beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead. He struggled to breathe, his complexion turning from pale to blue-purple as if he could die at any moment on the bed.
His hands clutched the sheets tightly, his teeth gritted, feeling the world spinning around him, not knowing where he was.
Gu Qingcheng hired a caretaker at a high price to look after Qi Shaoze. She entered the ward with the caretaker and was shocked to see Qi Shaoze almost dying.
“Qi Shaoze…” She ran to the bed in panic.. “What’s happened to you?”
