Chapter 791: Chapter 791 The Serious Consequences of Gu Jinrong’s Anger (3)
Ou Yanan, holding the blood pressure monitor, walked into Mother Gu’s hospital room.
When Father Gu and Mother Gu saw him enter, they simultaneously turned their heads away, looking elsewhere.
Ou Yanan seemed not to notice their odd behavior and went to the bedside, following medical procedures to take Mother Gu’s blood pressure.
The electronic blood pressure cuff wrapped around Mother Gu’s wrist, inflating with a whooshing sound, and Mother Gu felt her heart pounding along with it.
This was even more torturous for her than death itself.
As if sensing Mother Gu’s mood, Father Gu turned his head back to Ou Yanan and said, "Doctor, I think she’s all better now; there’s no need for all this fuss."
"Her blood pressure may typically be higher, and she hasn’t noticed it herself," Ou Yanan said, his gaze fixed on the numbers of the blood pressure monitor, his face stern.
Father Gu and Mother Gu both felt that if only the doctor were changed, surely the blood pressure readings would be normal.
In the end, they had no choice but to let the young man finish taking the blood pressure.
After Ou Yanan left, Father Gu whispered to Mother Gu, "Isn’t it, just too much alike—"
Mother Gu seemed to guess what he was about to say and immediately stopped him, "Don’t let your thoughts run wild!"
As she said this, she was clearly more worried about something else and stated, "Nuannuan is pregnant right now; she can’t be subjected to any kind of shock."
Father Gu’s face showed a touch of contemplation as he let out a slight sigh.
When it came to that child, at home, they actually weren’t very close to their parents. The one she was closest to, the one she clung to all the time, was her sister. While their hearts as parents ached unbearably, perhaps it wasn’t as painful as the wound in Gu Nuan’s heart as a sister.
After learning of her mother’s awakening, Gu Nuan’s heart settled, and she sat in the room, playing checkers with Little Pudding.
Little Pudding looked somewhat uneasy, anxiety written all over their face. Now that their aunt had woken up, it was a relief, but before, when she hadn’t awakened, it had nearly scared them to death. Because—Uncle wasn’t even here anymore.
"Missing someone, Dad?" Gu Nuan asked, noticing the child’s expression, "You can make a call to your dad or your brother if you like."
Little Pudding shook their head and muttered, "Uncle, haven’t come back yet."
Big White had been gone for more than a day now.
It indeed seemed increasingly off.
Gu Nuan suppressed the unease stirred up by the child’s words and smiled, "Do you like your uncle a lot?"
"Like, I really like little uncle," Little Pudding confided to their aunt, seeing no one else was around.
Gu Nuan found it strange and asked, "But, you don’t see your uncle very often, do you?"
"True, I haven’t seen him many times. But Uncle is different from other people."
This ’different’ was described with such seriousness by Little Pudding that Gu Nuan couldn’t help but perk up her not-so-sharp ears to listen to the child’s explanation.
Little Pudding said, "With other people, they always smile when they see me, and after smiling, they want to kiss my face. My face isn’t an object; why should they always be kissing it? After they kiss, I get a rash on my face. Little uncle doesn’t smile, but he never kisses my face, and his gaze is much more honest than many people’s."
For a child of such a young age to be able to discern what ’honesty’ means was truly not simple.
Gu Nuan smiled faintly along with this remark.
Speaking of Big White, he really was very honest. He never lied or pretended; he was just as he was.
Gu Nuan wondered if it was because she had spent more time with him these past days, which led her to suddenly feel his absence acutely when he wasn’t around, feeling an emptiness next to her, as if a piece of her heart was missing.
