Mrs. Xu went upstairs to ask Gu Yu to come down for breakfast, but was taken aback when she saw Gu Yu kneeling on the ground with his arms tightly wrapped around his head. He was trembling and seemed to be in terrible pain.
Although her knees had gone to jelly from fright, she braced herself and rushed into the room for fear that Gu Yu was in trouble. She asked with a worried face, "Yu, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell?"
She reached out, wanting to help Gu Yu. But he swung her hand away. "Get out."
His voice was deep and hoarse with a mixture of pain, but mostly extreme chill and resentment.
Although Mrs. Xu was worried about Gu Yu, she was more afraid of him. He had always shown her respect for being an elder to him. But now, her guts feeling told her to stay away from Gu Yu.
"I... I'll be right outside. Just call for me if you need me..." she stammered.
She turned around quickly and left the room.
