Chapter 30 It's Your Own Fault
As soon as the call was connected, before I could even open my mouth, my brother spoke first.
"Go to the hospital right now, something's wrong with your parents."
Hearing this, I immediately became nervous and asked, "What's going on? What happened to my parents?"
"They are at home..."
My brother had just finished speaking when I heard the sound of cars colliding.
"Gu Bai!"
My heart suddenly rose to my throat.
"You little brat, don't you have eyes? The light is red now!"
There was a burst of cursing on the line.
My brother didn't say anything.
I was so scared that tears came out, and I shouted anxiously, "Gu Bai? How are you?"
My dad has already had an accident. If my brother has another accident, I will really collapse.
I clenched my fists and shouted his name as hard as I could.
Until my brother's disgusted voice came, "I'm not dead yet, why are you shouting?"
I was immediately relieved.
"You go to the hospital to see your parents. I'll be there soon."
Before he could finish his words, there was no sound.
When I called again, it kept showing the phone was turned off.
Not daring to waste any more time, I asked Lao Mo for leave in the afternoon and rushed to the hospital.
I just arrived at the hospital and saw my dad coming out of the emergency room.
My mother was beside me, holding her waist, anxious, with tears on her face, "Doctor, what's the condition of my husband?"
The doctor looked at the case with a stern face.
I hurried over and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
My mother sighed deeply, her face full of guilt.
"It's all my fault. Your father's arm is injured again."
My alarm bells immediately went off.
My dad shook his head and took the initiative to tell me.
"I was worried that the hospital fees would be too much of a burden for you, so I forced your mother to discharge me..."
After the two of them were discharged from the hospital and returned home, my mother accidentally fell in the kitchen while cooking.
When my father found out, he forgot about his injuries for a moment and subconsciously helped her up with his hands.
But his arm had just been reattached and he couldn't use any great strength, so something went wrong when he tried to support it.
The wound opened again and he was rushed to the hospital.
Apart from hitting her waist, my mother was fine.
After understanding the whole story, I couldn't help but say, "You don't need to worry about your parents' hospital bills. Why do you have to make yourself like this just to save money?"
Hearing this, my mother wiped the tears from her eyes and frowned slightly, "We are all old and don't want you to suffer because of us."
At this moment, my heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
If it weren't for my uselessness, how could they have ended up like this?
Seeing my parents like this, I couldn't blame them too much. After all, they just didn't want to add more burden to me and my brother.
"It's okay, Mom and Dad. You must rest well this time."
After calming my parents down, I turned my attention to the doctor.
"Doctor, how is my dad's arm?"
The doctor closed the medical record book and said, "The patient's injuries originally did not recommend discharge, but your family members forced him to leave. Now he has undergone surgery to sew up his arm again. We will have to wait and see how he recovers before we can make a final judgment."
I froze in place, feeling uneasy again.
"You family members should be mentally prepared. Even if the patient's hand is sutured and heals well, it will be difficult for him to lead a normal life, but it is not impossible."
My mother burst into tears immediately, slapped herself several times, and kept talking.
"It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened. How could I be so careless?"
I held my mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, Dad will be fine."
My mother leaned in my arms, still sobbing.
I just felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and the future seemed bleak.
When will this torment end?
"Go and pay the handling fee first, as well as the hospitalization fee."
The doctor's words dragged me back to reality, and I took a series of medical records to pay the bill.
However, after seeing the amount above, my face looked very embarrassed.
The cost of this operation plus the advance payment for hospitalization will cost a total of six thousand yuan.
But I don't have that much on my body.
The money I borrowed from Jiang Yichen last time has almost been used up.
I took out my cell phone and looked through my address book, and finally called my best friend.
Chen Yan rushed to the hospital without saying a word.
She held my hand tightly and paid all the fees for me.
The two of us sat in the hospital corridor.
"Momo, are you okay? I've seen the trending searches." Chen Yan looked at me with a worried look in his eyes.
I didn't expect her to bring up this matter, and I suddenly felt aggrieved.
I wanted to pretend to be strong in front of her, but I couldn't stop feeling the sourness in my nose.
"I'm fine..."
My voice became choked as I said this.
Chen Yan saw through me at a glance. She gently put her arm around my shoulders and comforted me gently, "It's okay. I'm here. Call me if you need anything in the future."
These words directly broke my last line of defense. I couldn't hold back any longer and buried my head in her chest and cried.
"I didn't do those things. I didn't seduce at all. It was Brother Zhang who said he could tell me the tricks of the trade."
I told him everything that had happened recently.
Who else can I tell this to except her?
In the past, as long as I made a phone call, all the rich girls in Tongcheng would come running to me.
Bars, clubs, the choice is mine.
But now, the Gu family has been defeated and they have long disappeared.
"Why don't you ask Song Le for help?" Chen Yan stared at me with a puzzled look.
I paused and raised my hand to wipe away my tears. "I don't want to implicate him. Besides, I don't have the face to look for him."
She knew I was talking about running away from marriage, and she sighed, "If I had married him, maybe none of this would happen today."
Then, she cursed Jiang Yichen indignantly.
"It's all Jiang Yichen's fault that the Gu family has become like this. He is a treacherous villain. If it weren't for the Gu family, he wouldn't be where he is today."
I shook my head and pulled away from her embrace. "No, it's only natural that Jiang Yichen hates our family. It's not his fault. It's my fault for being too arrogant in the past."
If the Gu family hadn't gone bankrupt and Jiang Yichen and I hadn't divorced, I would never have known that I had been so harsh towards him in the past.
Sometimes, I wonder what kept him going for so long?
Is it love? But if he really loves me, why would he retaliate against me again and again?
I felt bitter in my heart. Now all this was just my own fault.
Seeing that I have been defending Jiang Yichen till now, Chen Yan looked as if she was very disappointed with me.
"Why are you still protecting him at this time? Can't you just scold him a few times?"
I held her wrist and said seriously, "No matter what Jiang Yichen does to me, it's all my own fault."
