Ou Yanan turned his face away.
"It seems that something really has happened. You never used to call me Mrs. Xiao." Gu Nuan’s sharp gaze swept across his profile.
Ou Yanan’s throat rolled as he said, "Nothing, I just happened to, and besides, Mrs. Xiao and Miss Gu, there’s no difference, both are your identities—"
"You’re right," Gu Nuan said, her words carrying even deeper meaning.
Previously, hearing him stubbornly call her Miss Gu, had still left her with a bit of fantasy, fantasizing he was still the same person, and so, he actually didn’t want her to leave him, just like the little boy who used to cling to her.
"Why did you suddenly change how you address me?" Gu Nuan pondered. "Is it because you found out about my pregnancy? I’m married, of course, I would get pregnant. This, you should have known from the beginning when you met me following Professor Tang."
Ou Yanan remained silent.
Gu Nuan turned her head again, her thoughtful eyes landing on his face: "Is it because you remembered something?"
"Mrs. Xiao—" Ou Yanan took a deep breath, "Miss Gu, please don’t overthink it. Besides, I have emphasized this to you before, don’t see me as someone else, I am just Dr. Ou, not someone else."
Gu Nuan’s face darkened slightly.
There were two knocks on the door.
Perhaps the people outside didn’t realize that the person in the room had already woken up. The knocker was the butler, who said to the person inside: "Dr. Ou, Professor Tang is asking for your assistance—"
Assistance?
Gu Nuan immediately became alert: "Is someone sick?"
Ou Yanan got up as he spoke to her: "It’s nothing, rest here, don’t go anywhere. I’ll be back soon."
But a person as smart as she was, how could she possibly wait here? No one could fool her.
Not long after, Gu Nuan stood outside the isolation ward, separated by a glass door, watching her mother lying on the hospital bed.
When Tang Sili turned around, he saw her too, and thus, his disapproving gaze shot towards his student across from him.
Ou Yanan frowned, admitting to himself that he simply could not keep it from her.
"She is pregnant!"
When Tang Sili said this, it wasn’t just because Gu Nuan was pregnant, the child in her belly held a very important status, not an ordinary pregnant woman and child.
As he left in a huff after saying this, he saw Gu Nuan standing there without leaving.
The expression, the countenance, and the posture Gu Nuan presented were very surprising.
Tang Sili couldn’t help being shocked, wondering what else could shake this woman.
Seeing her own mother lying on the hospital bed, her life hanging by a thread, Gu Nuan’s face was only calm, calm to the extreme with no ripples.
Such a posture, not to mention Gu’s father would definitely not be able to manage it, previously, when Xiao Yebai visited his mother-in-law, he couldn’t keep such a stone-cold face either.
Witnessing such an expression on her, even a person like Tang Sili felt a certain fear and respect deep inside.
"Mrs. Xiao."
Gu Nuan turned her head as if she had just noticed him, nodded slightly, and said, "Professor Tang, is it very troubling?"
"Yes," Tang Sili’s mind was very clear at the moment, perhaps, this medical expert was facing a problem that even he could not solve, but the woman in front of him might have a way to surpass a doctor’s abilities.
He no longer had any secrets from her, saying, "It’s a kind of poison that I’ve never seen before, something dreadful—"
"You’ve never seen before?"
Tang Sili squinted as she asked sharply, "Please enlighten me, Mrs. Xiao, perhaps I’ve seen it somewhere and just forgot—"
Gu Nuan exhaled softly and said, "Last time, Professor Tang, you were interested in some unprecedented plants that appeared at the estate on the mountain bought by my husband, weren’t you?"
At her words, a flash of insight struck Tang Sili’s mind, and he felt even more incredulous, asking, "How did you know that?"
"I guessed it, and also, I had a dream."
Just then, Zhang Sanfeng and the others, knowing she had awakened, followed over and were surprised and taken aback by what they heard her say.
Immediately thereafter, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhan Dapeng both evidently thought of something. The two of them, their faces changing quietly, hurriedly walked to the side to discuss a plan.
Before long, Uncle Qi in the mountains received the message to immediately arrange for some of the strange plants to be delivered to the city by special plane and personnel.
The poison in Gu’s mother’s body finally had a result the next evening.
