Chapter 40 Helpless

This night, Su Qinglan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

As long as she thought Gu Jinchi was currently unconscious in the hospital, she would not be able to lie peacefully on the bed.

In the end, she ran to Gu Yize's room and stared at the face that looked extremely similar to Gu Jinchi's. She slowly fell into deep thought.

As the special assistant of the president, she had to worry about Gu Jinchi's physical condition and insisted on handling the company's matter.

Nothing can be messed up.

And Gu Yize, he was still so young, he couldn't be affected by this matter.

Although he already knew about Gu Jinchi's illness, he had no choice but to bear it. She didn't want him to take the burden that a five-year-old child should endure.

It was better for Gu Yize to hide the whole thing.

Gradually, Su Qinglan's thoughts became more and more chaotic until she heard Gu Yize's voice. "Mommy, mommy? Why are you here?"

Su Qinglan felt that her body was very stiff. She raised her head in confusion and noticed that she had been lying on her son's bed all night.

"Mommy, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Gu Yize worriedly knelt on the bed and looked at Su Qinglan from head to toe.

"I'm fine," Su Qinglan said, shaking her head.

"It's getting late. I'll send you to school." Su Qinglan called out to Gu Yize.

He was very happy. He took the initiative to get up from the bed and washed up as quickly as possible.

After sitting at the dining table, Gu Yize noticed that something was wrong.

"Mommy, where's daddy? He's still sleeping late?"

Su Qinglan paused and pretended as if nothing had happened. "Yes, your daddy is particularly lazy today."

Gu Yize smiled and jumped off the stool. "Haha, then I must make fun of him."

Without waiting for Su Qinglan to reach out and grab Gu Yize, he had already run upstairs quickly and headed straight for the bedroom.

"Baby, your daddy was working very late last night. Don't disturb him." Su Qinglan hurried to catch up with him.

With a bang, the bedroom door was kicked open mercilessly by Gu Yize.

Then, he saw an empty bedroom.

"Mommy, where is daddy?" Gu Yize asked doubtfully.

Su Qinglan quickly adjusted her state, pretending not to know what was going on as she poked her head in and looked around. "Yes, where is your daddy?"

"Daddy, daddy, where are you?" Gu Yize shouted as he searched.

Su Qinglan seemed to be at a loss. She had no idea how to explain this.

Soon, Aunty Wang was called out from the kitchen.

Su Qinglan was behind Gu Yize, looking at Aunty Wang as if she had just seen her savior and implied her to hide the information.

Aunty Wang reacted for a while. She held Gu Yize's hand as if nothing had happened and walked towards the living room. "President Gu went to work early in the morning. Something seems to have happened in the company."

"Is that so? Are we going to go bankrupt?" Gu Yize asked doubtfully.

Seeing that Gu Yize did not doubt this, Su Qinglan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Do you want us to go bankrupt so much?" she asked, rubbing Gu Yize's face.

Gu Yize said smugly, "Humph. If daddy goes bankrupt, I can raise you."

Su Qinglan had no time to respond to him. She felt lost when accompanying Gu Yize to have breakfast. Then, she went to the hospital.

When she arrived at the ward, Chu Yunhe was examining Gu Jinchi.

Su Qinglan silently watched Gu Jinchi being tossed around without any reaction, thinking that if he knew that he had been treated like this when he was unconscious, he would be very angry, right?

"Doctor Chu, how is he?" Su Qinglan asked.

Chu Yunhe explained, "Compared to yesterday, it is slightly more stable, but it is still dangerous. It is best to find a way to treat him as soon as possible."

"Then do you have a cure?" Su Qinglan asked impatiently.

Chu Yunhe shook his head helplessly. After meeting Su Qinglan's disappointed gaze, he explained, "I will think of a cure. You don't have to worry."

In such a situation, there was no way for Su Qinglan not to be anxious.

After sending the doctors and nurses away, Su Qinglan drew a basin of water and washed Gu Jinchi's body.

She felt the warmth coming from Gu Jinchi, and her eyes could not help but turn red.

"Gu Jinchi, how can you be so excessive? Why are you always unconscious?" Su Qinglan said.

She exposed Gu Jinchi's feet and washed them, muttering, "How should I tell our son about this? There are so many things to do in the company. Why do you trust me to handle them all?"

No matter how she nagged, Gu Jinchi did not respond.

Su Qinglan came to the company as if nothing had happened. She announced in public that Gu Jinchi had something to settle, so he would not come to the company for the time being. She was fully in charge.

Immediately, some people began to whisper, occasionally staring at her with strange eyes.

Listening to the discussions of the people, Su Qinglan felt a burst of sorrow in her heart.

"Why isn't President Gu here again? Why do I feel that everything in the company is handled by Special Assistant Su?" Someone said.

"What's wrong with that? They're family anyway," The other replied.

"Brothers have to settle accounts. Especially between husband and wife, they have to be clear about it."

Another man said, "You guys worry too much. They didn't even mind it."

"I didn't hear President Gu's instructions, so I became more curious. Don't you feel that this is like having a firm hold over the emperor to oppress the princes?"

There were always people in the company who had wild imaginations, but Su Qinglan didn't care much about it.

The only thing that made her feel troubled was how to hide it from Gu Yize.

She asked An Nian to investigate doctors at home and abroad who could cure Gu Jinchi's illness. She held the only hope of finding them.

The news he brought back every time was very disappointing.

"Is there still no information?" Su Qinglan looked at An Nian and asked.

An Nian placed all the information he had found in front of Su Qinglan. "President Gu has already asked for the investigation on this matter. Currently, all the doctors with hope are on this."

Su Qinglan looked through them one by one, but could not find anyone who could save Gu Jinchi.

When it was almost time to get off work, Su Qinglan quickly finished her work and drove to pick up Gu Yize.

She adjusted her condition and took the school bag from Gu Yize with a smile. "How was it at school today? Did anything fun happen?"

"Little prince like me, it's all other children who fawn over me." Gu Yize raised his head proudly.

"Oh?" Su Qinglan echoed.

Gu Yize said proudly, "I am a genius. They all want to copy my homework."

"Children have to complete their homework independently. Copying homework is not good behavior," Su Qinglan gently educated him.

"I know, mommy. I don't." Gu Yize hastily interrupted her.

When they got into the car, Su Qinglan saw Gu Yize's little head constantly looking. "Where is daddy?" he asked doubtfully.

"Well, your daddy has been busy recently. He is on a business trip and is not at home these days." Su Qinglan found an excuse.

When Gu Yize heard this, he crossed his arms over his chest and asked with a face full of questions, "Mommy, tell me the truth. I can handle it."

Su Qinglan froze and almost stepped on the accelerator.

"What truth? I'm telling the truth." She glanced at Gu Yize through the rearview mirror and slowed down.

Gu Yize said bluntly, "Don't think you can lie to me just because I'm a child. I know everything."

He directly leaned forward on Su Qinglan's back and said with certainty, "Daddy never goes on a business trip because he is worried that he will suddenly fall asleep."

Su Qinglan calmed down and explained, "There is a very important business that needs your daddy to handle personally. That's why he went."

Gu Yize shook his head and asked firmly, "Mommy, tell me the truth. Is it..."

Su Qinglan's heart rose as he spoke, and she felt she could not breathe.

"Did you two quarrel?" Gu Yize shouted.

Su Qinglan heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt speechless. "You hope that we quarrel with each other?"

"Surely, I guessed it must be because you two quarreled, so Daddy ran away from home." Gu Yize guessed, and it was reasonable.

Su Qinglan did not know how to refute it.

Gu Yize looked complacent and a little proud. "Hey hey, mommy, daddy is always so disobedient. Why do you have to marry him? Marry me. I will be obedient."

"But you still need to grow up. You're too young now." Su Qinglan could not help but laugh.

Gu Yize patted his chest and said, "Hmph, even if I am young now, I will take good care of you."

Su Qinglan coaxed him to eat and watched him fall asleep before walking out of the room.

Just as she was about to go to the hospital to see Gu Jinchi, she met Aunty Wang in the living room.

"Aunty Wang, you haven't slept yet." She greeted softly.

Aunty Wang explained, "I wait for you here."

"What's wrong?" Su Qinglan took the opportunity to sit down.

"Mrs. Gu, tell me the truth. Is President Gu ill again?" Aunty Wang asked.

Su Qinglan saw the affirmation in her eyes and had to admit it.

"Aunty Wang, can you help me hide it? I don't want Yize to know it for the time being," Su Qinglan said.

"Although he didn't say it, he was also very worried about President Gu. I will hide it." Aunty Wang nodded.

"Thank you," Su Qinglan said sincerely.

"You must be tired." Aunty Wang looked at Su Qinglan with pity.

Su Qinglan did not know how to solve this tricky problem. She could only consider both sides, hoping that Gu Jinchi would wake up as soon as possible.

In the evening, after Gu Yize fell asleep, she secretly went to the hospital and personally washed Gu Jinchi, accompanying him to talk.

Because Chu Yunhe said, "In fact, the subconscious of the unconscious person can also hear the voice of the outside world. You can talk to stimulate him."

Su Qinglan was not a chatterbox originally, but for the sake of Gu Jinchi, she continued to develop this skill.

She had nothing to say. So she talked about some company matters and Gu Yize to him.

"Haha, Gu Jinchi, if you don't wake up soon, Yize will force me to marry him. He can't wait for us to divorce. Are you willing?"

She raised her head and looked at the indifferent Gu Jinchi. She smiled bitterly, "Since we are already married, I am Mrs. Gu. No one can make me give up."

This was her first straightforward confession, but Gu Jinchi did not hear it.
