C18

When Aunt Sunn came in with the food, she found a car parked outside. She didn't pay much attention because it was almost too late. She had to move faster.

She waited in the kitchen until everything was ready before she came out. She wanted to go up to the room while the fish was still steamed in the pot and clean the things inside and throw away the things that needed to be cleaned.

Aunt Sunn had just opened the kitchen door when a voice came from the living room.

"Where's Jiang Yao?"

If not for Gu Zhao's voice, Aunt Sunn wouldn't have noticed that there was someone sitting on the sofa in the living room. She wiped off the water on her hands and walked hesitantly in front of Gu Zhao.

"Madam, she's sick. She's in the hospital right now."

She thought that if she said that, Gu Zhao would ask her what happened, or if she was in a hospital waiting for attention. After waiting for a while, Gu Zhao said.

"What the hell is she doing?"

Aunt Sunn was extremely angry in her heart. However, she didn't dare show it. After all, she wasn't the host. She was just a servant, what right did she have to care about other people's family's matters?

She could only say in a soft voice, "My wife has a fever. The doctor said that if we were late, something big would have happened." "I …"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Aunt Sunn's words were stuck in her throat, she had no choice but to swallow the rest of what she was going to say. Would you like something to eat, sir? I'll make it. "

"No need."

Seeing that Gu Zhao left without any special instructions, Aunt Sunn went upstairs to clean up the place. When she went downstairs again, Gu Zhao was no longer there. She didn't know if Gu Zhao went to the hospital or to work.

Anyway, he was not at home, and Aunt Sunn noticed that the car that had stopped at the door was also gone. This meant that Gu Zhao had driven away during his cleaning process.

Aunt Sunn packed all the prepared food in a lunchbox and prepared to take the bus directly to the hospital.

It was 12: 40 when she arrived at the hospital. When she arrived, Jiang Yao was still asleep, as if she had never woken up. She curled up in a ball and wrapped herself in the quilt.

She had heard that this sleeping posture was a sign of insecurity, with droplets of water still hanging from her wet eyelashes. She must have cried in her dreams.

"Mistress, please wake up and eat before going to sleep."

Aunt Sunn waited for a while before using her hand to push Jiang Yao, who was sleeping soundly. When Jiang Yao heard someone calling her in her sleep, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Aunt Sunn, you came."

Jiang Yao slowly got up and leaned against the headboard. She slept and felt better and stronger than before. She said apologetically to Aunt Sunn, "Sorry to trouble you, this hospital has food. "Actually, you don't need to bring it back intentionally. It would be too tiring."

She touched the food Aunt Sunn had given her. It was still warm. She must have brought it to him right after he finished cooking it, otherwise why would it be so hot?

"It's not hard, it's not hard." How can the food in this hospital be as delicious as what I cook?

Aunt Sunn smiled as she picked up Jiang Yao's favorite steamed fish with chopsticks, as well as the fragrance of the cold mixed chrysanthemum.

"Come and eat a bit, that way you'll be able to recover faster."

"Thank you, Aunt Sunn. It's really delicious."

Jiang Yao stuffed the food into her mouth in big mouthfuls, feeling extremely upset. After eating this, she thought of her mother. Suddenly I want to go back and hug them and cry.

Putting aside the grievances in his heart, this way he wouldn't feel so sad.

At the door, a person was looking at the happy scene inside. The person standing outside the door was Gu Zhao, who had followed Aunt Sunn all the way to the hospital.

In fact, Gu Zhao didn't even leave but drove the car onto the road instead. He didn't know why, but he wasn't happy when he heard Aunt Sunn say that Jiang Yao was hospitalized.

On the contrary, she felt very uncomfortable. This was a kind of feeling that she couldn't put her finger on. She had planned to go straight back to the company, but he had come back when they were a short drive away.

He happened to see Aunt Sunn carrying the thermal insulation and getting on the car. At that time, his body had been uncontrollably following the car. Unknowingly, he had arrived at this hospital. He parked the car and followed her.

When he saw this scene outside the door, he had an indescribable feeling. It was very strange and very special.

Especially when he saw Jiang Yao looking so haggard, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a feather. It was extremely uncomfortable.

"Sir, are you here to see a patient?"

When Gu Zhao was still in a daze, a voice suddenly sounded from beside him, pulling him back to reality. Jiang Yao, who was inside, also heard the nurse's voice. When she turned around and looked outside, there was no one there.

After all, there were so many people outside.

After the nurse finished, Gu Zhao turned around and left. He was just a bit away from being seen by Jiang Yao.

At the end of the corridor, Gu Zhao took out a cigarette from his bag and put it in his mouth. Right now, his heart could only be described as a mess. Since he couldn't find a way to release them, he could only suck in a mouthful of smoke.

After that, he slowly vomited. Just like before, he repeated this action many times. The number of cigarette butts on the ground also gradually increased, but his heart was still in turmoil.

"Young man, this isn't how you smoke. Your body won't be able to take it."

A voice sounded from behind Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao's first reaction was to turn around and look at him.

"Do you have fire? Can you borrow it? I'd like to smoke a cigarette."

Gu Zhao handed the ignition to the man, who lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Gu Zhao carefully sized up the man in front of him. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, and his face was covered in dust. There was still a tiredness on his face that couldn't be hidden. He probably hadn't had a good rest in a long time.

"Do you have something on your mind that you don't understand? I've seen you smoking here by yourself for a long time."

When the man saw Gu Zhao sizing him up, he stood up and looked at Gu Zhao with a smile.

"Actually, it's good that you've thought of a lot of things. If you keep holding on tightly, you'll be the one who gets tired."

"Look at me, my wife has run off with someone, leaving behind a cancer daughter, but I still get it. "Heh heh heh …"

The man thought that Gu Zhao hid here and smoked because one of his family members passed away. Thus, she pretended to be relaxed as she told him about her own matters. She wanted him to be more open about it, because things in the world were unpredictable.

"You have no right to enlighten others."
