“Teach the Gu Family a lesson!” Beiming Han left behind these words nonchalantly as he carried Gu Qingxin away.
“Yes!” Ye Qi quickly exited the basement.
The mysterious convoy slowly disappeared into the darkness, leaving the Gu Villa behind, engulfed in a massive fire…
As Gu Qingxin opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a white transparent tube. Looking further upward, a bag of fluid was hanging above her. Her head felt like it was about to explode, and she instinctively tried to raise her arm to touch her forehead.
“Miss Gu, don’t move around. You’re currently on an IV drip, be careful not to dislodge the needle,” Aunt Zhou quickly restrained her moving arm.
Seeing Aunt Zhou, Gu Qingxin recalled the events of the previous night. To get treatment for her mother, she had sold herself to Beiming Han.
As for Tang Rongling, she no longer wanted to think about him…
“What happened to me?”
“You had a fever. When Master brought you back yesterday, your temperature had reached 42 degrees”.
Gu Qingxin vaguely smiled, turns out she could fall sick too. Growing up, she had always been exceptionally healthy and rarely ever fell ill.
Falling ill…
Gosh, her mother was still alone in the hospital.
Thinking of her mother, Gu Qingxin could no longer remain calm. She struggled to sit up, intent on removing the needle from her arm.
“Miss Gu, what are you doing?” Aunt Zhou quickly stopped her.
“My mother is still in the hospital, 1 have to go see her,” Gu Qingxin coughed twice and was about to get out of bed, her long hair draping over her soft cheeks.
“Stay in bed!”
A cold voice sounded, and both women turned towards the entrance. Beiming Han walked in with a stern face, accompanied by a large ‘dog’.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhou immediately stood straight and greeted him, “Master.”
“You’re not allowed to get out of this bed until all the fluid has been administered!” Beiming Han stood by the bedside, expressionlessly looking at the frail girl on the bed.
“I’m fine now, I need to visit my mother. She’s alone in the hospital right now, I’m not at ease,” Gu Qingxin lifted her head and met his gaze without backing down.
“If I’ve agreed to save her, then I will. Don’t forget what you agreed to either! The treatment your mother receives entirely depends on your performance!” Beiming Han said, crossing his arms and looking down at her with icy eyes.
“You!” Gu Qingxin felt a pang in her chest but still looked back at him defiantly, her chest slightly heaving.
Aunt Zhou was afraid that Gu Qingxin, unaware of Beiming Han’s temper, would rile him up, and ultimately, cause herself more suffering.
She quickly aided Qingxin back onto the bed, propping her up with a blanket, and said, “Miss Gu, let’s finish the IV first, it’s not much left.”
Aunt Zhou helped Gu Qingxin cover up with a blanket. She lowered her head in defiance, her eyes slightly red.
Beiming Han looked at her impassively, his lips curling into a disdainful smirk, and reminded her, “Don’t forget what you signed yesterday. No one forced you. You! Did! It! Willingly! If you want to back out now, I’ll give you the opportunity. Ye Qi…”
As soon as Beiming Han called out, Ye Qi appeared in the room, bowing his head respectfully, “Master.”
“Withdraw all the specialists arranged at the hospital!” Beiming Han ordered ruthlessly, without an ounce of emotion.
“No! No need to withdraw! I am not backing out! I’ll listen to you! Just don’t let my mother suffer.” Gu Qingxin, carelessly grasping his hand, yanked the needle from her own hand causing blood to bead up and trickle down..
