Madame Gu and Gu Hua sat vigilantly beside Master Gu's hospital bed, their faces etched with worry and fatigue. Madame Gu's expression remained unreadable, her thoughts consumed by the uncertain future that lay ahead. Gu Hua, on the other hand, bore the visible signs of sleepless nights, his eyes heavy with exhaustion as he grappled with the weight of his family's predicament.
Master Gu lay motionless in the hospital bed, surrounded by the steady hum of machines monitoring his condition. The doctors had provided no reassurance about his recovery from the stroke, leaving his loved ones in a state of anxious anticipation.
Gu Hua found himself torn between his duty to remain by his father's side and his desire to travel to Beijing to visit Gu Liang, who was currently receiving treatment in a mental hospital. The uncertainty of their family's situation weighed heavily on him as he struggled to determine the best course of action for both his father and his sister.
