Chapter 339: Worried
Gu Shaoting didn’t take Shu Pan back to her ho but brought her to Shuimu Qinghua.
He was concerned about the intense shock she had just experienced and didn’t want her to be alone at ho. After inquiring about Shu Pan’s preference, she nodded gently. She didn’t want to be alone now; the re thought of that scene made her feel fearful and on the verge of collapse.
Upon their return to Shuimu Qinghua, considering the lateness of the hour, they decided to pick up Joy the next day. However, to ease Ye Xiaong’s worries, Shu Pan called her.
“Girl, you scared to death,” Ye Xiaong exclaid, her voice carrying a hint of tears, once the call connected.
Feeling a deep sense of guilt, Shu Pan had genuinely worried her good friend.
“Xiaong, don’t worry. I’m safe now, everything’s fine,” Shu Pan said slowly and gently, each word pulling at her swollen face, causing pain down to her nerves.
“Girl… you’re not allowed to scare like that again!” Ye Xiaong hadn’t fully cald down yet.
Since the mont she found out about Shu Pan’s incident, she was on edge, her mind restless. Even taking care of Joy was absentminded; Joy kept asking where her mom went, and she didn’t know how to answer, so she repeatedly said her mommy was busy.
The mother and daughter seed to have a telepathic connection, and Joy’s
mood was low all night.
Ye Xiaong had to console her for a long ti.
Just recently falling asleep, even though He Ming had inford her as soon as Shu Pan was found, she still felt it wasn’t real, as if in a daze.
Now hearing Shu Pan’s voice, although soft and low, it was undeniably real.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Since it was late, and Shu Pan had just returned, she didn’t want to press Shu Pan about the details or ask if she had offended soone.
“Alright, take care. Could you look after Joy tonight? I’ll pick her up tomorrow,” Shu Pan genuinely felt remorse; she had indeed caused everyone unnecessary worry.
“It’s okay, get so rest. Don’t worry about Joy,” Ye Xiaong knew that with Gu Shaoting by her side, Shu Pan was in good hands.
Tonight, she was particularly grateful to Gu Shaoting. If it weren’t for him, she didn’t dare to imagine what might have happened to Shu Pan.
They chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
After ending the call, Shu Pan sat on the sofa, the dim light casting a delicate glow on her, making her appear fragile.
She seed sowhat absent-minded; Shu Pan hadn’t fully recovered from the recent incident.
She couldn’t understand who harbored such deep hatred against her, intending to bring her to the brink of death.
The scarred man had shown her pictures of her daily life, indicating he knew her well and was well-inford about her whereabouts.
If compromising photos were taken this ti, it would ruin her reputation.
She dared not imagine what might happen next.
Covering her face with her hands, she felt a stinging pain, a harsh reminder that sothing terrible had indeed occurred.
Gu Shaoting ca out to see Shu Pan sitting on the sofa, lost in her thoughts, not uttering a word, imrsed in her own little world.
“Panpan, co, let help you freshen up. Get so rest,” Gu Shaoting approached her, gently calling out.
But Shu Pan remained motionless, just looking at him with a pair of dark, clear eyes, resembling an injured little animal, innocent and pitiful.
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid…” Gu Shaoting touched her hair gently, his voice unusually tender. With just a few simple words, he touched the most fragile nerve in Shu Pan’s heart, causing her eyes to fill with tears. Seeking comfort, she suddenly grabbed his hand.
Gu Shaoting’s heart trembled..
