By the time he had regained his composure, Chen Kai had already turned and left.
He realized that Gao Xiaotian had no intention of making way, so he turned around again and walked towards the end of the corridor that led to Gao Rourou's ward.
Gao Xiaotian quickly came to his senses and hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Chen Kai, blocking his path once more.
"You can't go."
Chen Kai sighed softly.
"It seems you really want me to stay, but do you really think you have the strength to make me?"
Gao Xiaotian shook his head helplessly. It was truly painful for him to admit that he was no match for Chen Kai.
But now was not the time to worry about saving face. What mattered most was saving his mother's life, and he believed that apart from Chen Kai, probably no one else in this world had such ability.
Although he didn't really believe that Chen Kai could cure her, it was at least a sliver of hope, and it was worth a try.
