Chapter 561: Chapter 561: The Unknown Fear Is the Most Terrifying
Not sure how long she had been waiting outside the ICU, Gu Tiantian came to her senses when she heard Dean Xu’s voice.
"Miss Gu, you’re here."
Dean Xu’s voice was gentle, with a hint of affection.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Gu Tiantian forced a smile and nodded.
"Dean Xu, how is Mr. Bai’s condition?"
Dean Xu frowned slightly and sighed.
"The situation is quite serious. He was already injured, fell from the third floor, and was also crushed by a heavy object. The injuries are severe. Although he’s out of life-threatening danger, his condition is still unstable, so he remains under observation."
Gu Tiantian naturally knew that the heavy object Dean Xu mentioned referred to her.
Her face turned pale, Gu Tiantian pressed her lips together, and it took her a while to squeeze out a sentence.
"So... Li Mu said he hasn’t woken up?"
Dean Xu nodded, his voice regretful.
"Yes, he hasn’t woken up, just mumbling and talking nonsense. I’m old now, and I can’t make out what he’s saying."
"By the way, I’ve noticed he’s always around you. Maybe you could try talking to him over the phone, see if it helps his condition."
Gu Tiantian wanted to say something, but looking at the phone Dean Xu handed over, she bit her lip, finally nodded, and said, "Okay."
After staying for more than an hour, talking on the phone for half an hour, Bai Chenyao still showed no response.
Finally, seeing her not in good condition, Dean Xu had the nurse push her back to the adjacent ward.
Lying on the hospital bed, Gu Tiantian’s mind flashed back to Bai Chenyao in the ICU and then to his sudden appearance in Cheng Junnan’s ward.
Thinking of this, Gu Tiantian’s eyes widened abruptly.
Just then, she saw Li Mu push the door open and come in, followed by Mrs. Chen, and she hurriedly spoke.
"Li Mu, are we at City Hospital now and not at Renmin Hospital?"
She remembered how Cheng Junnan had avoided City Hospital to hide her whereabouts and had gone to Renmin Hospital instead.
"What about Cheng Junnan? Was he transferred here too?"
Li Mu looked at Gu Tiantian expressionlessly, his voice cold.
"President Cheng is still at Renmin Hospital, not in any life danger."
At this, Li Mu’s gaze towards Gu Tiantian grew colder.
"Mr. Bai and Miss Gu won’t be disturbed here, nor will anyone know that you’re here now."
Perplexed, Gu Tiantian looked at Li Mu in astonishment.
"To the outside, the message is that Mr. Bai has taken Miss Gu abroad on a business trip, to return in the shortest one month, longest three months."
Gu Tiantian became more confused and asked hesitantly.
"Why?"
After asking, she suddenly remembered what Li Mu had said about Bai Chenyao’s gunshot wound and shuddered.
A gunshot wound!
That’s the real issue here!
Her mind suddenly flashed back to when she first met Bai Chenyao, when in a video, the man hiding in the cabinet was clearly shot and killed by Bai Chenyao.
The more Gu Tiantian thought about it, the more scared she became. She wanted to ask Li Mu about Bai Chenyao’s true identity.
However, she feared that the more she knew, the harder it would be to escape when the time came.
She was grateful to Bai Chenyao for saving her but still did not want to stay by his side.
The feeling Bai Chenyao gave her was initially like a block of ice, emanating cold air, which seemed to pierce you with that icy chill if you touched it.
Gradually, Bai Chenyao felt like a mist, clearly visible, but when you got closer to look, you found there was nothing there.
At this point... a previously unknown sense of panic welled up inside her.
The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying of all.
