The truth is undoubtedly cruel, especially for Gu Yan.
He had only thought his father was profit-driven, never expecting him to commit such acts one after another.
The three fell silent simultaneously, the air in the ward almost seeming to solidify.
After a long while, only then did Gu Yan's hoarse voice say, "I'm sorry." He didn't know to whom he should apologize, Shen Xian or Gu Chen.
Shen Xian and Gu Chen turned to look at him in unison, both saying, "This isn't your fault."
Even so, their words failed to comfort him.
Gu Yan gave a bleak smile, "Who asked me to be his son? When I call him 'Dad', this familial bond can't be severed." With that, Gu Yan stood up, intending to leave, "The family is probably going to hear about this news soon, I'll go back and check."
Shaking his head, he added, "Or perhaps, it's already in chaos." His tone was filled with helplessness.
"Ayan," Gu Chen called out to him, "you first calm them down. The rest, I'll explain when I get back."
