Chapter 766: Consultation At The Hospital

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shu Pan opened her eyes slowly and through her sleepiness, she saw the familiar handsome face in front of her. She raised her hand so he could help her up before she said, “Are you done with work?”

Gu Shaoting stared at her, his gaze infinitely gentle. “Were you waiting for me here?”

The sleepy Shu Pan nodded and replied honestly, “Joy asked me to read her a fairy tale today. I know that you will look for me here if you don’t see me in our room. I wish we’d fall asleep together from now on.”

Gu Shaoting lovingly kissed the top of her head. “Let’s go to bed then!”

“Okay.” Shu Pan held his arm as they walked out together and gently closed the door.

“Nighty-night!” Gu Shaoting kissed her hair.

With that, he took the remote control by the bed and turned off the lights, leaving only a warm nightlight on.

Shu Pan’s breath was filled with the man’s masculine scent. She closed her eyes in peace and gradually went to dreamland.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t sleep. His eyes were locked on the sleeping face in his arms, like he was watching until the end of time.

He suddenly felt very insecure. He used to be full of energy, but he now needed a wheelchair. The stark difference really depressed him.

He seemed to have become Shu Pan’s burden, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

See how he was of no help to Shu Pan nowadays and made her worry about him instead?

His anxiety grew and he started to feel doubtful. What if his legs never recover? Would Shu Pan despise him? Maybe not now, but would she after a long time?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he felt.

And just like that, Mr. Gu did not sleep a wink the whole night.

The next morning…

After Shu Pan woke up, she felt a pair of big eyes staring at her from her bedside. It was Joy. She didn’t know when she came in and stared at her like that with her chin propped…

Shu Pan sat up and pulled Joy into her arms. “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you sleep a little longer? Where’s Daddy?”

“I had a dream that Mommy went missing, so I rushed over to find you. I was so scared.” Joy pouted and looked like she was about to cry. “Daddy is walking.”

Joy’s words startled Shu Pan. She knew that the walking Joy was talking about was Gu Shaoting’s rehabilitation exercise.

Why did he get up so early to train? Did he want to die? Overtraining was not good either.

Shu Pan lowered her head and kissed Joy’s little head. “Don’t be scared. Mommy will always be with you as you grow up.”

Joy nodded happily.

Just then, Gu Shaoting walked in, his clothes drenched in sweat.

“You’re both up. Let’s go have breakfast.” Gu Shaoting glanced at the mother and daughter before he went into the bathroom.

In the dining room, breakfast was very sumptuous. Shu Pan was worried about Gu Shaoting’s condition, so she decided to bring Gu Shaoting to the hospital for a consultation after breakfast.

After breakfast, Joy went to school as usual. Time indeed flew by and it was almost winter vacation for Joy and new year soon.

Shu Pan wore a pink coat and looked very pretty. Gu Shaoting looked at her and felt a little blue. Why did he feel that Shu Pan was looking younger and more beautiful? Even though she was pregnant, her limbs were still very slender and her skin was clear. She didn’t seem to have changed much.

Shu Pan held his arm and slowly walked into the hospital.

They went straight to the specialist with whom Shu Pan had made the appointment. He was a famous orthopedic specialist in the country. She had waited a long time to get an appointment with him.

She was very nervous as she glanced at Gu Shaoting beside her. He looked calm, as if he wasn’t the patient who was here to see the doctor.

But Shu Pan was wrong this time. Gu Shaoting was only pretending to be calm. He was actually very nervous; he was worried that the doctor would tell him that there was no cure for his condition.
