4729 Never Too Late to Love (136)
Gu Jinglian and Gu Xingze were half-brothers with different mothers, so Gu Chengze did look a little similar to Gu Xingze, but not so much that people could tell at a glance.

Hence, Bai Sheng was extremely surprised. “When did you find out?”

“When I was in junior high school, I saw his name once in the ancestral hall. Out of curiosity, I asked and found out that he was my uncle.”

Bai Sheng nodded.

Gu Chengze sighed. “I’ve always felt sorry for my uncle. Dad gave me this name to commemorate him.”

“For some kind of continuation?”

“Sort of.” Gu Chengze tried to recall. “I rarely hear my father talk about my uncle, but I can tell when he mentions him occasionally, his tone always seems to carry a hint of regret and guilt.”

“Guilt?”

“Uh huh.”

“Why guilt?” Bai Sheng did not really understand this point.

“Because… My father has always felt that he was very harsh on my uncle in the past, so after my uncle passed away, he felt sorry. They share the same roots after all, and they would have some feelings for each other.”

For some reason, Bai Sheng’s mood became rather heavy.

The idol’s death had already saddened many. Now that they had brought up the topic again, the atmosphere felt a little heavy.

“I hope that he has a next life and can be happy.”

“Let’s hope there’s an afterlife!”

On the way home, Bai Sheng was unusually quiet. She looked out of the window in a daze and her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

On one hand, she wondered when Natalia would wake up. On the other hand, she was surprised. She had not expected to see her idol under such a situation.

She could not recover from her surprise.

…

In the ward, Gong Jie and Hua Jin sat in front of the bed, looking at Natalia’s pale face and feeling extremely sad.

The actor looked at Gong Jie and said sadly, “Nana has been unconscious for so long. Chengze is already married. You heard him, didn’t you? He said he hopes to hold the wedding when she wakes up?”

Gong Jie replied half-jokingly, “I hope Nana won’t keep Chengze waiting for too long!”

The actor nodded. He gently placed his hand on the back of Natalia’s. The coldness made his heart ache even more.

“Why is her hand so cold?” He picked up her hand, breathed a few times onto it and rubbed it gently. He then held it in his palm.

Before this, he and Gong Jie had gone overseas to seek out a few experts in this field, but no one could say for sure about Natalia’s condition.

It had been years, but she had not improved at all.

Gong Jie’s heart ached when he saw Hua Jin’s pained expression. Other than feeling sorry for Natalia, he also felt sorry for the actor.

Over the years, Hua Jin had been running around trying to get someone to treat Natalia’s illness.

Back then, the actor had retired from the entertainment industry partly because he had already won a double Best Actor award and reached the pinnacle of his career.

On the other hand, it was because of Natalia that he wanted to withdraw completely from the entertainment industry, to free up more time to take care of her.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Natalia’s condition deteriorated all of a sudden. It was so sudden and happened so quickly. Up till now, she remained unconscious.

Many people had urged them to give up.

But… they wouldn’t!
