Chapter 25 The Culprit
Since Lin Nan was pregnant, I naturally couldn't stay in the villa, so I got up and left.
My brother happened to be at home, and when he saw me come back, he immediately stood up from his chair.
"Why didn't you go home all night? Where did you go?"
I didn’t want my brother to know the absurdity of last night, so I made up an excuse.
"I worked overtime at the company last night and didn't come back."
When my brother heard this, there was a hint of disbelief on his face, but he did not pursue the matter too much.
"Just let me know if you're not coming back, so I don't have to look for you when I'm busy delivering food, which saves me some trouble."
"I see."
Sometimes, I even feel that my brother is more like an older brother who protects me.
Glad to have him here.
My brother was about to go out with his helmet, so I asked him one more question.
“Want to deliver food?”
He gave me a look of disdain and responded, "Yes, if you have time, go to the hospital and take care of dad."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Something happened to my dad and I couldn’t concentrate on my work, so I asked Lao Mo for leave today.
After packing up briefly, I headed to the hospital.
As soon as I reached the door of the ward, I heard my parents’ discussion coming from inside.
"I think Momo paid for my surgery. She suffered a lot with us and lost a lot of weight."
After hearing what my father said, I felt more and more guilty.
No matter what time it is, I am the first person they worry about.
I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
When they saw me coming, my parents immediately stopped discussing.
My mother looked at me with eyes full of heartache and deliberately blamed me, "Why are you in the hospital, kid? I'm here to take care of your father."
Not wanting to worry my parents, I forced a smile, helped her up from her seat, and said softly, "Mom, take a rest. I'll take care of my dad."
My mother couldn't persuade me, so she had to lie down on the accompanying bed next to me.
My dad couldn't help but sigh, and said apologetically, "Momo, I'm sorry for you. I misjudged Fang Xiong and that's why you suffered..."
But what was he doing wrong? He was just anxious to give me a good life and not let me be bullied.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "No, Dad, it's not your fault. I was too hypocritical. I still thought I was the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Now I'm lucky to have a rich man who wants me. I will treat the next one well and not let you worry."
If I had been able to lower my pride when negotiating with Fang Xiong, my father wouldn't have ended up like this.
Perhaps we would have received the 50 million yuan long ago, and our family wouldn't have to worry about future debts.
There was a hint of relief in my father's eyes when he looked at me.
"My good daughter has finally grown up."
Soon it was noon. I just walked out of the inpatient department to buy food, but I saw Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan.
What a coincidence, I actually met them here.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen's face was pale. He leaned on Lin Nan, holding his abdomen, and looked uncomfortable.
I followed carefully.
It was not until they entered the ward that I wrote down the room number and secretly went to find the nurse.
The nurse told me that Jiang Yichen had a stomach attack.
Only then did I remember that he had stomach problems because of me.
After all, I was arrogant at that time, and whenever I was unhappy, I would vent my anger on him.
Not letting him eat was the norm.
Thinking of this, I felt guilty.
It turned out that it was not Lin Nan who was pregnant, but Jiang Yichen who was sick.
The image of Jiang Yichen's miserable look just now came to my mind again, and I thought I should do something to remedy the situation.
Not long after, I went to a nearby supermarket to buy some millet, and brought it home, intending to cook a bowl of porridge for him myself.
For the past twenty years, I had never been to a kitchen. Even the simplest thing, turning on the gas stove, took me a long time to succeed.
I have cooked a bowl of millet porridge many times.
Either too dry or too thick.
Until the last time, I barely succeeded.
Seeing the millet porridge I made myself, I couldn’t help but feel excited. I put the porridge in an insulated box and divided it into two portions and sent it over.
When I went to Jiang Yichen's ward, there was no one inside.
I took the opportunity to put the porridge on the bedside table, left quickly, and gave the rest to my father.
When my father saw the porridge I made by myself, he was very touched and kept praising me for being sensible.
But not long after eating, my dad started vomiting and having diarrhea, and was even sent to the emergency room.
The doctor said it was food poisoning.
I didn't expect that a bowl of millet porridge could cause food poisoning.
My brother didn't even bother to deliver the takeaway and rushed straight to the hospital.
When he learned the truth, he immediately scolded me with a cold face.
"Don't you have any clear understanding of your cooking skills?"
I felt guilty for doing something wrong and lowered my head, not daring to talk back to him.
Seeing my silence, my brother was helpless, “Don’t cook anything to eat in the future, so that this kind of thing won’t happen again.”
At this moment, I suddenly realized that I had also delivered the millet porridge to Jiang Yichen.
Regardless of the fact that my brother was angry, I immediately ran to Jiang Yichen's ward.
But there was no trace of him inside.
Where's Jiang Yichen? Was he also sent to emergency?
I couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly grabbed a nurse and asked, "Hello, where is the patient in this ward?"
The nurse glanced at the medical record and said, "He was just sent to emergency for gastric bleeding."
I didn't expect his condition to be so serious, so I rushed to the emergency room.
When Lin Nan saw me suddenly appear, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Gu Mo, what are you doing here?"
I confessed to her without thinking.
"Lin Nan, Jiang Yichen had gastric bleeding after eating the millet porridge I made. How is he now?"
Hearing what I said, Lin Nan sneered, his eyes filled with indescribable coldness.
"Gu Mo, don't think too much. I will never let Jiang Yichen drink that bowl of porridge of unknown origin."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately he didn't drink, otherwise I would have been guilty.
Lin Nan continued speaking, with a hint of warning in his words, "I hope you won't cause trouble for Jiang Yichen again in the future. You've already hurt him badly enough."
I didn't refute.
After all, these are indisputable facts.
Before marrying Jiang Yichen, he was in good health and didn't have these problems.
But since living with me, he has been suffering both physically and mentally.
I regret it!
But there is no turning back in this world?
I lowered my eyes and whispered, "I'm just worried about his stomach..."
Before I could finish, Lin Nan interrupted me immediately, his tone full of sarcasm.
"What were you doing earlier? If it weren't for you, how could he have gotten a stomach problem? Gu Mo, you should remember that all this is because of you."
These words were like a knife, piercing my heart deeply.
She was right, I was the culprit who harmed Jiang Yichen.
