Gu Nancheng's expression was cold. Ignoring her, he placed her in the front passenger seat and slammed the door shut.
Ruo Lanxi felt dizzy all of a sudden. She shook her head absentmindedly, and everything in front of her gradually became blurry.
When Gu Nancheng got into the car, he noticed that something was wrong with the woman. He asked immediately, "What's wrong?"
"I … I'm so dizzy!" As she spoke, Ruo Lanxi collapsed.
He quickly supported her and placed his hand on her forehead. Her temperature was so high that it was scalding.
That damned woman, she had a high fever!
Gu Nancheng fastened her seatbelt quickly and stepped on the accelerator, speeding to the hospital.
As for the adulterous couple in the room, he did not care about their lives.
Hospital, ward.
Because Ruo Lanxi's fever persisted, the doctor tried everything he could think of to administer medicine while holding the child.
Gu Nancheng frowned, looking at the frail woman lying on the hospital bed. He had mixed feelings.
Her body was already thin to begin with, and now, she looked even thinner than a normal person. He wondered if this woman had eaten properly. How did she become so skinny?
The doctor's words were still echoing in his ears. "How can you be a husband? Why did you send a pregnant woman to the hospital when she's so sick? It's not like we're living in a feudal society anymore. You don't care about the life and death of an adult for the sake of a child. I really don't know what you people are thinking. The patient is really stubborn. If she hadn't held on, she would have collapsed long ago."
Didn't they say that they wanted to make use of the child?
Why did they have to endure to this extent and refuse to take medicine?
The assistant rushed over and knocked on the door. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Nancheng glanced at him coldly and immediately shut his mouth.
When Gu Nancheng walked out of the ward, the assistant said sternly, "President, the meeting is still going on. You suddenly abandoned everyone and left. All the higher-ups have objections. Hurry up and go back!"
"Mm, I'll leave when she wakes up. By the way, Old Master doesn't know yet, right?"
Gu Nancheng nodded. Just when he was about to raise his wrist to look at the time, Grandpa Gu's reprimanding voice came from not far away, "Little brat, how much longer do you plan to hide this from this old man!"
The assistant's eyes widened in shock, and his face turned ashen. He hurriedly slipped away. "President, the meeting is still going on. I'll go back to control the situation. Come back quickly."
Gu Nancheng was speechless. Who had leaked the news? How did the old man know that Ruo Lanxi was hospitalized so quickly?
"Grandfather, why are you here?" No matter how many questions he had, Gu Nancheng still walked over to help Old Master Gu.
Grandpa Gu was furious. He slammed his walking stick on the ground. "You still have the cheek to ask me why I'm here? I've already asked the doctor just now. He said that my granddaughter-in-law has been sick for a long time. How can you ignore her and let her fall to this extent? How can you be a husband and expectant father?"
"Yes, it's my fault. Grandpa, please calm down. I don't care. His blood pressure is rising again." Gu Nancheng supported Old Master Gu to the ward to see Ruo Lanxi. Without a doubt, he was reprimanded again.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nancheng did not say a word. Grandpa Gu was almost done with his scolding. He said suspiciously, "Little brat, you're not refuting me?"
"Then what do you want me to say?"
Gu Nancheng told himself that ever since he quarreled with Grandpa Gu in the study, which caused the old man's blood pressure to rise and was hospitalized, he did not dare to provoke the old man anymore.
Seeing that he was so obedient, Old Master Gu calmed down. He looked at the unconscious Ruo Lanxi and said indifferently, "When my granddaughter-in-law wakes up, remember to let me know. I haven't taken my medicine yet, so I'll go back first."
