Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1845: Sincere Feelings 58

He Zhilan thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand, and when she looked again, the person standing there was still gazing at her with a worried expression.

"Didn’t you say Mr. Gu in room 305 passed away last night due to a brain hemorrhage? Then why is he still standing there?" He Zhilan pointed to Gu Hengyuan, who was standing not far away, and asked the nurse beside her.

"Mr. Gu in room 305 did pass away last night from a brain hemorrhage. That gentleman is Mr. Gu from the fifth floor. Is this the Mr. Gu you’re looking for?" The nurse seemed a bit embarrassed upon hearing this, "Sorry, I thought you were a family member of the deceased Mr. Gu from room 305. My apologies, truly sorry!"

Lan Li understood now; it was a complete mix-up. The nurse thought He Zhilan was a family member of the deceased Mr. Gu, while He Zhilan assumed Gu Hengyuan had passed away, which is why she was crying like that.

Lan Li was taken aback. So, He Zhilan came to the sanatorium looking for Gu Hengyuan? And she cried so sadly after hearing that Gu Hengyuan had passed away?

Lan Li thought, in fact, He Zhilan must care deeply about her biological father. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have cried like a three-year-old upon hearing the news.

Over there, Gu Hengyuan and Mrs. Gu hadn’t seen Lan Li return for a long time and couldn’t wait any longer. They bit the bullet and walked over but didn’t dare to stand directly in front of He Zhilan. Instead, they stood behind Lan Li and asked, "What happened here?"

"Mr. Gu, apologies, it was a misunderstanding. This lady came to see you. I thought she was here for Mr. Gu from room 305 who passed away last night, so I told her Mr. Gu had passed. She probably thought it was you, and that’s why she’s crying sadly here," the nurse was a bit worried. Working here, she naturally knew the sanatorium had some special patients, and such a mix-up and misunderstanding could be big or small, depending on how sensitive and concerned the person involved was.

Gu Hengyuan, at this moment, didn’t care about the misunderstanding. Instead, he looked at He Zhilan with some excitement, "Would you be sad if I really were gone?"

Mrs. Gu’s eyes instantly reddened. "Zhilan, if one day I were gone, would you be as sad as you were just now?"

"No way! I wouldn’t!" He Zhilan choked out a response.

"Stubborn," Lan Li chimed in from the side.

"Mind your own business!" He Zhilan shouted softly at Lan Li, but having just cried so fiercely, her voice lacked any real intimidation and instead carried a hint of girlish coquettishness.

"It’s good not to be sad! It’s good not to be sad! Everyone faces a day when they leave. When they do, their eyes close, and they feel nothing. If the living are sad, how much they suffer." Gu Hengyuan wasn’t disappointed at all, because he knew in his heart, He Zhilan would definitely be sad. She had just cried so heartbrokenly from misunderstanding he had passed away.

For some reason, hearing Gu Hengyuan’s words made He Zhilan’s eyes sting inexplicably. Her tears circled in her eyes before falling again.

"Today is Little Tuanyuan’s birthday. Little Tuanyuan says he wants to exchange his entire life’s worth of birthday gifts and wishes for you all to attend his birthday party today. I’ve come to take you to the He Family to attend Little Tuanyuan’s birthday party." After saying this, He Zhilan quickly added, "I’m not here because I’ve forgiven you; I’m here because I don’t want Little Tuanyuan to be disappointed. He’s the birthday star, he’s my son, and I hope his wishes come true!"

"Ah!" Gu Hengyuan and Mrs. Gu were stunned for quite a while before coming to their senses, then they nodded repeatedly. The two of them tightly held each other’s hands, their eyes moist.
