Later, when Yun Lei didn’t want to return to Beijing, he would visit her in Zhuhai several times a year and even sponsored her fashion store. Now, hearing she was in trouble, Gu Yan Zhi was extremely anxious. Since Chu Yue hadn’t explained clearly on the phone, his heart was tightly wound. That afternoon, he bought a plane ticket and rushed to Zhuhai.
When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Chu Yue sitting by the bed peeling an apple, while Yun Lei lay quietly, her eyes large and vacant, staring blankly at something, motionless.
“Xiao Yue, what’s wrong with Lei Lei?” Gu Yan Zhi looked haggard, his brow filled with worry.
Chu Yue stood up, forcing a smile, “You’re here?”
Gu Yan Zhi looked at her deeply, then turned to Yun Lei, “Lei Lei, it’s your brother. What’s happening to you?”
Yun Lei remained expressionless, her eyes still empty. Gu Yan Zhi looked questioningly at Chu Yue, “What’s wrong with her? Why is she not responding at all?”
Chu Yue sighed, pulling him out to the corridor, “She’s been like this since waking up. Not eating, not drinking, not speaking. Nothing helps. The doctors are at a loss!”
Gu Yan Zhi frowned, “Xiao Yue, what exactly happened to Lei Lei?”
Chu Yue briefly recounted everything from the beginning to him.
When he heard that Leile was going to be an unmarried mother and then fell on the stairs, causing her to miscarry, his heart ached as if something was being twisted.
“Leile, you silly girl!” He punched the wall, startling Chu’e. This was the second time she had seen him so angry, the first being when he had gotten angry with her out of anxiety.
Entering the hospital room and seeing Yun Lei still lifeless, Gu Yanzheng’s eyes filled with compassion. He sighed silently, looked at Chu’e, and sincerely said, “Xiao’e, thank you!”
Chu’e was stunned. “Thank me for what?”
Yanzheng smiled bitterly, “If you hadn’t called the emergency services, perhaps…”
Chu’e remained silent. They both knew that if Yun Lei hadn’t called Chu’e at the time, if she hadn’t immediately called 120 in Zhuhai, things might have been irreparable.
