"That's good." Old Lady Huo finally felt at ease and patted the back of Gu Ruochu's hand. "My husband and I used to quarrel all the time when we were young, but in the end, we still cherished each other. I can see that you two are very much in love, but this child, Nanchen..."
Huo Nanchen had not made his marriage to Gu Ruochu his top priority.
Old Lady Huo was disappointed by her grandson's decisions.
"I haven't been feeling too well recently. I didn't know that it was because my grandson was hurt." Old Lady Huo sighed and looked at Gu Ruochu with an extra touch of love. "I know that you must be devastated."
"Grandmother..." Gu Ruochu tried to reassure Old Lady Huo, but she interrupted her.
"There's no need to comfort me. I've long since become indifferent to life and death."
It had started to rain heavily, and the gloomy weather had depressed everyone's mood. Gu Ruochu walked towards the window and peered at the dark sky.
Her heart was very calm.
It was a calmness that she had never felt before.
Mrs. Huo left Huo Zhenggang's side when she heard Gu Ruochu's promise. She walked towards her and asked, "Ruochu, is it true that you'll come back home?"
She wanted Gu Ruochu to give a definite answer.
Gu Ruochu looked at Mrs. Huo's misty eyes, and her relationship with Huo Nanchen flashed through her mind like a movie. They were destined to be entangled with each other endlessly.
She had tried to suppress her love for him, but it had only grown stronger.
Seeing Huo Nanchen sitting helplessly in his car had brought up a heavy sadness in Gu Ruochu's heart.
Gu Ruochu's feelings for Huo Nanchen were deeply engraved in her soul. It was as if he had seeped into her blood and bones.
She suddenly remembered a passage she had read in a book. Love would always return to its fullest. Only then would it be interesting and worth fighting for.
It was the same for her and Huo Nanchen.
Since the pain she had gone through could not be changed, it was better to treat it as a feast and enjoy it. As she stared at the pouring rain, Gu Ruochu appeared to have thought things through.
She knew that there was only one decision to make.
"Yes. Mother, I won't leave you."
Mrs. Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had feared that her son would be disappointed if he had woken up and realized that Gu Ruochu was not around. Huo Zhenggang had initially wanted to use the opportunity to advocate for the finalization of the divorce between Gu Ruochu and his son. He did not expect that Old Lady Huo and Mrs. Huo would want to reunite them.
Even though he was unhappy, he had to suppress his anger and wait for another opportunity to attack Gu Ruochu.
The news about Huo Nanchen's second car accident had spread like wildfire. When Ning Tangxi heard the news, she was so agitated that the nurses at the hospital had to hold her down in her bed to prevent her from leaving her ward.
An Shaosi would not allow her to leave the room and go looking for Huo Nanchen. At that moment, Ning Tangxi suddenly felt a sense of despair. She had spent her life trying to make Huo Nanchen love her, but in the end, she had failed.
Lu Fang was angry when he heard that Ning Tangxi was causing trouble. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number as he slowly walked towards Ning Tangxi's ward.
However, a nurse rushed out of the ward, and when she saw him, she ran towards him and said anxiously, "Doctor Lu, a few strange men came in and took Miss Ning away."
'Took her away?'
"Who were they?" Lu Fang quickened his pace. He did not believe that anyone would dare to kidnap a patient at the hospital in broad daylight.
"I don't know. They were dressed in black suits and dark sunglasses. We couldn't stop them! What should we do? We chased after them, but they managed to escape."
When he heard the nurse's explanation, Lu Fang quickly walked into Ning Tangxi's ward. However, Ning Tangxi was nowhere to be seen.
