Gu Yusheng felt like his heart suddenly missed a beat. He couldn’t help frowning. He asked, “What’s been wrong with her for the past few days?”
“Past-past few days…” The housekeeper seed to find it hard to explain to him. She had repeated the sa few words several tis. She shut her mouth when she was about to bring up the details.
Gu Yusheng was worried, so he was enraged when he heard no response from the housekeeper. He yelled at the housekeeper over the phone. “Past few days, past few days, do you have anything else to say? Do you only know those words? What the hell happened to her?”
Gu Yusheng finished his scolding but didn’t hear any imdiate response from the housekeeper. He urged her to answer his questions in a nasty tone. “Did you hear ? Are you dumb?”
The housekeeper on the other end of the line dared not hesitate anymore after being scolded. She told him the truth. “Miss got a fever on the night you left. She threw up everything she ate. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she refused to go. Her temperature was up to 104 degrees.”
What? She had a fever on the night I left? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
Gu Yusheng frowned hard. He was about to ask the housekeeper if she had gone to see the doctor in the end, but he heard the housekeeper talking again and beca so angry that he scolded her again. “She had a fever, but you didn’t. Why didn’t you take her to see the doctor no matter whether she wanted to go or not? Why didn’t you call to let know when sothing important happened? What? How dare you? Do you know who wears the pants in the house?”
“No, no…” the housekeeper on the line tried to explain in a low pitch. “It was Miss. She asked not to tell you. Miss said she didn’t want to bother you.”
Gu Yusheng’s breaths beca irregular after hearing that.
“Didn’t want to bother .” It was the third ti he had heard this from her.
If he hadn’t called the house about the files and asked about her, he might not have known she was sick at all.
The anger in him slowly disappeared, only to be replaced by pain. Gu Yusheng’s Adam’s apple moved. When he talked again, he sounded a little worried, but he didn’t notice it himself. “I’m coming ho.”
As Gu Yusheng talked on the phone, he grabbed his car keys and wallet from the desk. He heard the worried voice from the housekeeper when he was about to hang up. “Mr. Gu, Miss is fine right now. I asked Dr. Luo to co over, and he gave her an injection. She was able to walk around the night before yesterday. Only…”
“Only…” Gu Yusheng could tell the housekeeper had sothing else to tell him. He frowned and brought the phone back to his ear.
After a while, the housekeeper said worriedly, “I feel like there’s been sothing wrong with Miss. She used to stay inside, listening to music, reading or taking care of the lawn and flowers when she wasn’t busy. However, Miss hasn’t done any of that recently. She barely eats, sotis not eating anything all day. For the past few days, I’ve seen her put her head on her arms on the balcony and stare outside the window. I called her a few tis, but she didn’t answer .”
After pausing for a second, the housekeeper said worriedly, “Mr. Gu, do you think Miss got sick from being so depressed?”
