Chapter 46: Burning with Anger
After the banquet concluded, Shu Pan saw Tong Fei pulling Gu Shaoting aside, not sure what they were discussing. Tong Fei’s coquettish deanor made it hard for anyone to refuse her requests.
Sure enough, she saw Gu Shaoting nodding and leaving with Tong Fei.
Thinking that she might need to take a ride back, Shu Pan decided to greet the grandpa first. With many of his old friends and forr business partners attending the birthday party, he was busy socializing, leaving no chance for Shu Pan to exchange a few words with him.
After exchanging a few heartfelt words with the grandpa and letting him know that Gu Shaoting had left for sothing, Shu Pan returned ho around 9 o’clock. Since she hadn’t eaten much at the birthday banquet, she made herself a bowl of soup noodles for the night and then went to her room to take a shower.
Not long after, she heard a noise in the living room, indicating that Gu Shaoting had returned. Shu Pan didn’t intend to go out and greeted him. Since her father’s incident, they had started sleeping in separate rooms. In a daze, Shu Pan woke up feeling thirsty. She got up and walked out of the room, planning to go to the kitchen to get so water.
“Bang!”
She heard sothing falling in the living room. As she turned towards the living room, she realized that Gu Shaoting had returned without her noticing. He was sitting on the couch, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. One hand was clutching his stomach, while the other reached for a dicine bottle on the coffee table. His forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and he looked in a lot of pain.
Seeing this, Shu Pan was startled and hurried over. “Gu Shaoting, what’s wrong?” She noticed broken glass on the floor and water spilled around. It seed he had accidentally knocked over a glass.
“Gu Shaoting, what happened to you?” Shu Pan was taken aback by his pale and bloodless face. She half-supported him and helped him retrieve the dicine bottle from the coffee table. However, the bottle was empty, not a single pill left.
Seeing him pale and in obvious pain, Shu Pan was genuinely scared. Her voice began to tremble as she said, “There’s none left, what should we do? Do you have backup dication? Let check the dicine box.”
Shu Pan searched through the dicine box, turning it upside down, but couldn’t find the dicine she needed. She panicked.
Gu Shaoting shook his head slightly, his hand still clutching his stomach. He looked like he was in agony.
“So, what do we do?” Shu Pan was frantic, like an ant on a hot pan. Seeing him in so much pain, she didn’t know what to do.
Gu Shaoting, enduring the pain, managed to say, “Don’t worry too much. It’s an old problem. Fetch a jacket and take to the hospital.’
Shu Pan nodded in a hurry and went back to the room to get a jacket for him. Then she helped him out with her keys.
Due to the pain, Gu Shaoting was almost leaning entirely on Shu Pan’s side. At that mont, no one paid attention to their usual distance and detachnt. Shu Pan struggled to help him into the car. He clenched his teeth, gripping his stomach, and leaning against the passenger seat. Shu Pan looked at his agonized expression and felt worried. She bent down and adjusted his seat a little lower, helping him balance. Then she started the car and drove toward the largest hospital in Bin City.
As it was getting late, there weren’t many cars on the road. Shu Pan encountered a red light and felt anxious. Seeing Gu Shaoting’s pale face, her inner turmoil increased. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and they
soon arrived at the hospital..
