The car arrived at the City Hospital, and Gu Tiantian and the others headed straight to the emergency room.
After confirming that Li Jia was no longer in danger, they finally sighed in relief.
Li Jia’s mom saw them in the ward and quickly stood up.
"You must be Jiajia’s classmates, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, Jiajia would have..."
Looking at Li Jia’s mom, Gu Tiantian seemed to see herself from before.
Dong Tong kept observing Gu Tiantian’s changing expressions. Xu Ziqiao noticed, furrowed his brows, and took the chance when Gu Tiantian wasn’t looking to tug on Dong Tong’s sleeve.
Dong Tong snapped back to reality and quickly smiled.
"Auntie, Jiajia will be alright. Now that she’s out of danger, as long as she recovers well and doesn’t get too emotional, she will certainly be fine."
Li Jia’s mom smiled and thanked Dong Tong and the others again.
As they left the ward, Dong Tong held onto Gu Tiantian’s hand.
"Tian Tian, you don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell, or... did Huang Jie hit you in the classroom earlier?"
Gu Tiantian was startled and quickly adjusted her demeanor.
"No, no, you’re overthinking it."
Dong Tong said "oh," didn’t pay much mind, and started talking about Li Jia’s situation.
"Li Jia... She’s weak-willed, and yet she’s been deceived by Huang Jie, thinking that he’s really devoted to her."
"Actually, I think Li Jia knows what kind of person Huang Jie is but just doesn’t want to believe it. Now that she’s seen through Huang Jie, I hope she won’t be delusional anymore. Otherwise... no one will be able to save her."
Gu Tiantian felt that Dong Tong’s words made a lot of sense, which was also how she felt earlier in the classroom.
Thus, as an outsider, she didn’t speak up to help Li Jia right away.
If Li Jia couldn’t find some strength herself, no one could help her.
In the parking lot, Dong Tong checked the time.
"We’ve been back and forth, and it’s getting late. How about we eat before heading home?"
Gu Tiantian didn’t mind and didn’t want to see Bai Chenyao right now either, guessing that Bai Chenyao hadn’t returned home yet, so it didn’t matter whether she went back or not.
Though she was concerned about Mrs. Chen, not wanting her to worry.
"I’ll call home."
Dong Tong blinked and smiled.
Gu Tiantian glanced over, walked a few steps away, and began to call Mrs. Chen.
Nearby, Dong Tong watched her and wanted to move closer to eavesdrop.
Xu Ziqiao saw this and pulled her back, speaking in a low voice.
"Are you worried she doesn’t know who you are?"
Dong Tong rolled her eyes and ground her teeth.
"I’m just curious about what kind of personality a girl who can stay by my cousin’s side has."
Xu Ziqiao smiled helplessly and rubbed Dong Tong’s hair.
"You, ah... Don’t you know your cousin’s personality? Good thing you met her unintentionally this time. If he knew you deliberately approached his woman, who knows what he’d think!"
Thinking about that cold-hearted cousin, Dong Tong seemed a bit upset.
"I’m really curious to know how such a cute girl as Tian Tian gets along with my ice-cold cousin."
Xu Ziqiao seemed quite helpless and sighed softly.
"Everyone has their own destiny. Be careful, curiosity killed the cat. If your cousin decided to take action against you, see who could protect you then!"
Dong Tong raised an eyebrow and glared at Xu Ziqiao.
"What do you mean? Are you saying even you couldn’t protect me?"
Xu Ziqiao’s ears reddened slightly, a hint of indulgence flickered in his eyes, then he smiled warmly.
"Well... If that day were to come, you would surely know the answer."
Dong Tong: "..."
Dang, I hate these hypothetical answers the most!
