Shen Heng didn't take Gu Xiaobei to the military hospital but to T City People's Hospital. The entire way, Gu Xiaobei ignored Shen Heng, still angry about the last time at the E Restaurant when Shen Heng pretended not to know her. She found him a petty man.
Shen Heng watched as Gu Xiaobei stared out the car window, her demeanor proclaiming 'no strangers allowed'. He couldn't help but smile wryly, then asked, "Should I notify your family today or tomorrow?"
After some thought, Gu Xiaobei said, "Today would be fine." It didn't matter whether it was earlier or later.
After Shen Heng had completed the paperwork for Gu Xiaobei's hospitalization, he asked the hospital to call Gu Xiaodong's home.
Chen Qiumei and Gu Xiaodong arrived at the hospital shortly after receiving the call. When Chen Qiumei saw Gu Xiaobei laying in the hospital bed, she started to cry. "You, a headstrong girl, vanished for three to four days, and now you land yourself in the hospital only to call us today?"
