C8 Misunderstanding Was a Couple

The carriage arrived smoothly outside the clinic. Xiaoxi, already frail and bundled up in thick winter clothing, couldn't manage Gu Zhuohua's weight. So, Yun Li stepped in to carry her onto the clinic's soft couch.

Even Rong Qin, who rarely left the carriage, followed them inside.

The old doctor personally checked the pulse, stroking his goatee and occasionally sighing. Xiaoxi grew anxious with his silence. "Doctor, please tell us what's going on with our lady!"

His head-shaking and silence would drive anyone to the brink of frustration.

The old doctor released Gu Zhuohua's wrist and scanned the room. He sensed that the man in the wheelchair, with his striking presence, was in charge. Addressing him, he said, "Your wife has disturbed her pregnancy, and there's significant blood loss, making it serious. But... did you give her any medication?"

The doctor looked at Rong Qin with confusion. The lady's pulse was peculiar. It seemed the child wouldn't survive, yet as he checked, the pulse suddenly revived. Unless it was some miraculous medicine, he couldn't fathom how the pregnancy was sustained.

It was understandable for the doctor to assume they were a couple. Anyone seeing a man bring a pregnant woman to a clinic would think the same.

Yun Li noticed his master's furrowed brow and spoke in a low voice, "Doctor, this lady..."

"Essence Cultivation Pill, a homemade remedy of mine. I apologize for the surprise," Rong Qin replied calmly.

Yun Li fell silent, his eyes darkening slightly. Meanwhile, Xiaoxi, with lowered eyes, nodded gratefully toward Rong Qin. Her lady's reputation was already tarnished enough, and this gentleman's willingness to speak on her behalf was truly appreciated. Her admiration for this master-servant duo grew even more.

The murmured voices in the room barely reached Gu Zhuohua's ears, muddled by her dizziness. She couldn't make out the conversation clearly.

The elderly doctor handed a prescription to Xiaoxi. "This is for stabilizing the pregnancy. Follow this formula for three days, and everything should be fine."

Xiaoxi accepted the prescription with gratitude. When she turned back, the master and servant pair had already left.

She opened her mouth, slapped her forehead, and thought, "Oh no, I forgot to ask for the gentleman's name."

Outside the clinic, a tall figure dismounted swiftly from a horse. His gaze lingered on a departing carriage before he rushed into the building without a backward glance.

As Xiaoxi exited with the medicine, she spotted the hurried man. Her surprise quickly turned to fear, and she stammered, "S-second Young Master."

Oh no, with the young lady's commotion, the family would surely find out about her pregnancy. The Gu family was known for its strict reputation; this was going to be a disaster.

Xiaoxi's lips trembled, and she almost burst into tears.

Gu Beiting grabbed Xiaoxi's slender wrist urgently. "Where's your young lady?"

"She's in the inner room..."

He released her and headed straight for the inner room, cursing under his breath. Damn Duke Lin, if anything happened to his little sister, he wouldn't let him off the hook!

As soon as Gu Beiting entered the clinic, Gu Zhuohua heard him and sighed inwardly. It seemed another tough battle was ahead.

"Hua!" Gu Beiting strode in, heading straight to her bedside. His handsome face was etched with worry.

Gu Zhuohua struggled to sit up. "Second Brother, why are you here?"

"Don't speak, just lie down and stay still." Gu Beiting helped her lie back down gently.

Earlier, upon hearing reports of Miss Gu causing a scene at Duke Lin's mansion, Gu Beiting had rushed there with his men, only to find out his sister had already been taken away. His instincts told him where they had gone.
