C12 Scar

After confirming her condition, he stepped on the throttle and rushed out. He was anxious along the way, but he did not dare to be too fast for fear of bumping into the people in the back seat.

Gu Wan'an didn't know at all, so she just laid obediently in the backseat without any reaction.

After running two red lights in a row, the car stopped in front of a hospital.

Duan Yi Chen carried Gu Wan'an out and, ignoring the nurse who came out to ask questions, ran straight to the third floor.

When the door was kicked open, Zhou Ting Qing was talking to the patient about the treatment. He looked at the panting Duan Yi Chen and pushed his glasses up on his nose, revealing a polite smile to the patient. "Alright then, I'll contact you later."

"Alright, thank you, Dr. Zhou." The patient agreed easily and fled the room in haste.

Duan Yi Chen had long since carried them to the sickbed.

"Has something happened to Wanyan?" He had only taken a quick glance and could only see the outline of the situation. However, he estimated that only an accident like Gu Wanyan could cause such a reaction from Duan Yi.

Duan Yi Chen's expression became unsightly for a moment before he turned his head with a muffled voice, "No."

Having received a denial, Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked over with a teasing expression, "Yo, the always self-respecting Young Master Duan …" When he clearly saw Gu Wan'an's face, his teasing stopped.

As a doctor, he naturally noticed Gu Wanan's strange condition. He then looked at Duan Yi's anxious expression and decided to ask her again later.

After conducting a series of inspections, it was a good thing that nothing serious had happened. Zhou Ting Qing put down his tools and looked at the man who was staring at him. He unhurriedly explained, "It's nothing serious. It's just that he's got a high fever. If he gets tossed around like this, even an iron man wouldn't be able to take it."

Duan Yi Chen remained silent with a cold expression.

Gu Wan'an had a fever? No wonder when he held her, the temperature felt somewhat scorching.

"Alright, go ahead." Zhou Ting Qing helped Gu Wan An calm down, then leaned back on the chair and crossed his hands as he looked at Duan Yi Chen, "What's going on between you and her?"

"Nothing happened." His face was still cold, with no intention of talking to her. From time to time, his eyes would glance at Gu Wan An, who was still unconscious on the sickbed.

Zhou Jingqing raised his eyebrows and nodded. He was unwilling to speak, and no one could force him to speak. He followed his gaze and said, "She's still unconscious. She'll be fine once the effects of the medicine have passed."

"Yes." Duan Yi Chen's expression did not loosen at all as he sat opposite Zhou Ting Qing with a tense expression. His eyes were deep and gloomy, and it was unknown what he was planning.

Zhou Ting Qing tactfully remained silent as he flipped through the medical records in his hands.

"Big brother!" A clear cry broke the silence in the room. The two men looked at the person on the bed at the same time. Zhou Ting Qing was about to explain that the nightmare was very normal, but the man who was sitting upright was already half-kneeling in front of the bed.

Duan Yi Chen frowned as he looked at Gu Wan An, who had a pained expression on her face. He hesitated for a moment before taking her hand in his. "It's alright …"

"Big brother …" "They bullied me …" Perhaps she had mistaken Duan Yi Chen for her older brother, Gu Wan An complained. Duan Yi Chen's eyes narrowed and blurted out uncontrollably, "Who's bullying you?"

Gu Wan'an didn't answer, but kept on crying. She sounded very pitiful to others, but when he looked at her wrinkled little face, he could only hold her hand tighter.

"If Hao Ting saw her like this, he would definitely be heartbroken." Zhou Ting Qing said in a cold tone.

Duan Yi Chen's expression froze. That was true, they had all seen Gu Wan'an's reliance on Gu Hao.

"Big brother …" Big brother … They bullied me... "Howl …" Gu Wan'an sobbed fitfully, but she didn't show any signs of stopping.

Duan Yi Chen tightened his strength and tried to control his voice as gently as he could. "Who's bullying you?"

His gentle voice was actually quite pleasant to hear. Gu Wanan, who was trapped in her dreams, slowly calmed down. She paused before carefully answering his question, "Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt …" My family is bullying me... "Howl …" She had only spoken a few sentences before she was unable to control her sobbing.

At this moment, she was like a little child who had been wronged. After hearing her reply, Duan Yi Chen's expression changed again and again.

He knew what kind of treatment she would receive at home, but she was still the young lady of the Gu family. No matter how poor she was, what could she do? However, when he remembered what she had said just now, he was suddenly uncertain.

What was her situation in the Gu family?

It wasn't easy for her to calm him down, but Duan Yi Chen didn't loosen his grip on her. He held his hand so tightly that it seemed as if he would break into pieces at any moment.

Hm? Duan Yi Chen lowered his head in confusion.

Just now, his fingers seemed to have touched something.

In order to confirm, he turned Gu Wan An's hand over, inch by inch touching it. Zhou Ting Qing, who had been observing the situation, lightly coughed and pushed her glasses. How come she didn't know that Duan Yi Chen was such a carnivorous person?

"Ting Qing, come here for a moment."

Just as he finished his criticism, he heard Duan Yi Chen call out to him. Zhou Ting Qing sat up straight, feeling extremely nervous.

"Look at what this is?" After getting closer, Duan Yi Chen pointed out Gu Wan An's wrist to him.

It was a small wound that was beyond the scope of a small wound, and it even had a dark red protrusion. This was the reason why he felt that something was wrong.

"These are scars." Zhou Ting Qing replied seriously, but only a fool would know that it was a scar after receiving a supercilious look from Duan Yi Chen.

"Cough," Zhou Ting Qing initially wanted to remind Duan Yi Chen of how much he cared about Gu Wan An, but he endured it and lowered his head to look at the scar. "It was a dagger wound. It seems like it was really deep when I was injured."

Veins popped up on Duan Yi Chen's forehead. He couldn't remember what severe injury Gu Wan'an had suffered in front of him, so it must have been inflicted abroad.

She was just a young miss and there was someone serving her well. How could she have suffered such an injury? Or was her life abroad very different from what he had imagined?

Just as he was lost in thought, the person on the bed suddenly mumbled, "Don't come over …" As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Duan Yi Chen's hand, causing him to furrow his brows.

"…"

Zhou Ting Qing and Duan Yi Chen glanced at each other. The former turned around and returned to his office chair, leaving Duan Yi Chen squatting there with a complicated expression on his face.

Just what was hidden in her heart that caused her to be so restless even in her dreams.

He carefully observed Gu Wanan's face. It was a face he used to be very familiar with, but now it seemed a lot stranger.

The superimposed strangeness made him more and more curious and confused about Gu Wanan's life abroad. It was also at this moment that he discovered that he didn't understand Gu Wanan at all, only what Gu Wanan was willing to tell him. As for anything else, he had no way of knowing.
