Chapter 768: I Didn’t Do It On Purpose

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Song Can gave Joy a hug and a kiss before she promised, “Sweetie, I’m so sorry. Grandma has been busy. Grandma will visit you more often when she’s less busy, okay?”

In her heart, Song Can was muttering that she would visit Joy every day if it weren’t for her mother.

“Awesome! Grandma, come play with me. I have a new toy.” Joy happily showed off her new toy.

“As you wish, my little darling.” Song Can let her arrogance go and began to play with Joy.

It wasn’t until Shu Pan came to remind them that it was time for dinner that they packed up and left the room to eat.

Shu Pan warmly entertained Song Can as they sat down to eat. “Mom, the dishes today are all fresh. I don’t know if they’re to your liking. Please dig in.”

“Hm…” Song Can responded indifferently as she couldn’t show any meanness towards Shu Pan in front of others.

Shu Pan didn’t mind it and continued to pick up food for Joy.

However, Gu Shaoting’s face was a little gloomy. He still couldn’t understand why his mother was being so difficult when Shu Pan was being so nice.

Shu Pan seemed to have noticed Gu Shaoting’s change in mood. She figured that he probably felt indignant for her. She was being nice to Song Can but Song Can was still being difficult. Shu Pan worried that he would lose his temper, so she gently patted his leg under the table telling him to take it easy.

Gu Shaoting gave her a meaningful look and then continued to eat quietly.

After dinner, Auntie Li cleared the table while Song Can went to the living room and poured herself a glass of water. As the glass was full, she spilled quite a bit of water on the floor as she walked to the sofa. Song Can frowned looking at the spilled water but she didn’t care about it and sat down on the sofa.

At this moment, Shu Pan finished what she was doing and walked out to the living room. As she did not see the water on the floor, her slippered foot stepped on it and she slipped. Shu Pan exclaimed, “Ah…”

She fell to the ground as she shouted. It was probably her mother’s instinct to protect her baby in the face of danger.

Shu Pan broke her fall with one hand and both knees on the floor. She managed to avoid pressure on her belly but still felt a dull pain in her abdomen.

“My belly…” Shu Pan’s face was pale as she hugged her belly and moaned through her pursed lips.

It all happened right in front of Song Can. She was stunned by the scene and kept mouthing, “I didn’t do it on purpose, really…”

She looked dazed.

Auntie Li seemed to have heard the commotion and ran out from the kitchen. Her face was ashen from fear, but she was still calm. She quickly helped Shu Pan up and sat her on the sofa.

As the commotion was loud, Gu Shaoting also came out of the study and saw Shu Pan’s face twisted in pain.

He stood up from his wheelchair and walked quickly to Shu Pan. “Panpan, what happened?”

“To… To the hospital. My belly hurts.” A thin layer of sweat already covered Shu Pan’s forehead when she said that.

Gu Shaoting panicked. He quickly asked Auntie Li to get the driver to bring the car over.

He then scooped Shu Pan up.

After walking a few steps, Shu Pan realized that Gu Shaoting was not in a wheelchair or using a walking stick.

“Shaoting, put me down. Your leg…”

Gu Shaoting was stunned too. He saw that Shu Pan had an accident and the situation was urgent, so he jumped up without even thinking about his leg.

He didn’t seem to feel anything when he picked her up like how he had done many times before.

“It’s okay. Let’s go to the hospital first.” When Gu Shaoting carried her out, the driver was already waiting for them.

“Wait for me. I’ll go with you.” Song Can followed behind in a panic. She was too shocked to react just now, but now that she had regained her senses, she caught up.

“Auntie Li, please look after Joy.” Gu Shaoting waited for Song Can to get into the car. After instructing Auntie Li, he asked the driver to head to the hospital.
