Huo Nanchen was lucky to have escaped without a major injury.
Fortunately, the accident had happened near a traffic light, and the cars behind him had already started slowing down. If it had been on the side of the highway, the accident would have been so tragic that Huo Nanchen would not have survived.
Gu Ruochu's heart, which had been in turmoil for a long time, finally settled down.
She stood up from her chair, but the action used up all the strength in her body, and she almost fainted.
An Duo quickly supported her and placed Gu Ruochu's arm over her shoulders.
"Ruochu!"
"Gu Ruochu?"
The nurses at the reception quickly rushed towards them and helped An Duo support Gu Ruochu.
Lu Fang sighed. If Huo Nanchen had not been lying on the hospital bed, he would have carefully held Gu Ruochu in his arms and treasured her.
Gu Ruochu quickly recovered from her moment of weakness and stood up again. She looked at Lu Fang and asked, "Can I go in and see him?"
"You'll have to wait until he is transferred to the VIP ward before you can go in and accompany him." Lu Fang looked at her pitifully. "In the meantime, you should go and buy some porridge.
"You have to eat."
"No need. I can't eat at all."
"Nanchen will be in a coma for some time. Do you want him to wake up and start worrying about you?" Lu Fang looked at her tired face and shook his head before leaving in a hurry.
Soon, Mrs. Huo and Old Madam Huo arrived. For the first time, Gu Ruochu saw Mrs. Huo's weak side. She was sobbing loudly in Huo Zhenggang's arms.
"Yesterday, I dreamt that my son was injured. I didn't expect that it would be confirmed when I woke up this morning."
"Don't cry. Didn't Lu Fang say that he is fine?" Huo Zhenggang comforted her gently. He pulled out a tissue and placed it in her hand.
His heart was full of resentment towards Gu Ruochu. A fit of irrepressible anger appeared in his eyes. "Gu Ruochu, I knew that my son would eventually die because of you. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to the Old Master's words and let Nanchen marry you. It's good that you're divorced now. Don't harm my son!"
Gu Ruochu did not defend herself from Huo Zhenggang's anger. She had also blamed herself countless times. It would have been better if she had agreed to stop the vehicle and go back to Huo Nanchen.
She was the reason why he was lying in the hospital bed.
Mrs. Huo did not help Gu Ruochu refute Huo Zhenggang's accusations. She also had a lot of resentment in her heart. If Gu Ruochu had not insisted on a divorce, her son would not have acted so carelessly.
Old Madam Huo's eyes were moist. However, she looked at Huo Zhenggang with a hint of seriousness and said calmly, "Why are you only blaming Ruochu? Of course, both parties are to blame for this incident. Do you remember how you abandoned your wife to be with that vixen? Didn't you defend yourself by saying that your wife was too cold towards you and that she was the reason for your *****ery? Why are you victimizing Ruochu now?"
Old Lady Huo's righteous words made Huo Zhenggang lose face, and he asked in an embarrassed tone, "Mother, why are you bringing up the past?"
Old Lady Huo scoffed and turned her head away from the couple.
One of the servants supported her as she walked towards Gu Ruochu. Nanchen was her grandson. She knew his personality well.
"Ruochu, can't you change your mind about the divorce?"
Old Lady Huo held her hand and sighed, "Even if you want to divorce him, you shouldn't leave him at this time. I'm begging you..."
"Grandmother." Gu Ruochu felt a sore lump form in her throat. "I will stay with him. Don't worry."
