Time flies quickly and half a month has passed.
At this time, Mr. Meng's residence was basically safe and stable, and he was sure that Meng Zhen's people would not be able to find it.
Gu Tingchen still didn't wake up. Even though Mr. Meng found the best doctor to treat him, Gu Tingchen was still in a coma.
Looking at Gu Tingchen like this, Mr. Meng couldn't help but sigh.
That day, Mr. Meng came in person to deliver food to Meng Xianchen and saw Meng Xianchen washing Gu Tingchen.
"Son, I think it's time. We should tell Jiang Ranran the news." Old Master Meng looked at Gu Tingchen lying on the hospital bed, a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Whenever he thought about seeing Jiang Ranran crying in grief soon, his heart ached.
Meng Xianchen paused, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes. "Then I'll call Jiang Ranran and tell her to put down her work in China and come over."
Mr. Meng nodded, and the two of them sat in silence.
Meng Xianchen hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to call Jiang Ranran.
"Hello?" Jiang Ranran's voice was clear and crisp on the other end of the phone, sounding relaxed and cheerful.
Hearing Jiang Ranran's voice, Meng Xianchen really didn't want to ruin her good mood, but what was coming would come sooner or later.
Meng Xianchen pursed his lips tightly, took a deep breath and said, "Of course, it's me."
Jiang Ranran was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "Meng Xianchen? Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Where's Gu Tingchen?"
At this time, Jiang Ranran already had a bad feeling.
Why didn’t Gu Tingchen call in person? The person who called was actually Meng Xianchen, and his voice didn’t sound relaxed.
Meng Xianchen hesitated for a few seconds, and finally told Jiang Ranran: "Gu Tingchen is in trouble, and now I need you to come quickly. I will send you the address later."
"What did you say? What happened to Gu Tingchen?" Jiang Ranran was really furious.
Listening to the trembling and excited voice on the other end of the phone, Meng Xianchen felt his heart broken.
"Ranran, don't get excited. Come here first and we'll talk about some things face to face." Meng Xianchen tried his best to calm Jiang Ranran, but found himself so powerless because his own emotions had not yet recovered.
"I want you to tell me what happened to Gu Tingchen!" Jiang Ranran changed her usual good temper and yelled at Meng Xianchen.
Meng Xianchen's words got stuck in his throat. After a few seconds of easing his nerves, he finally spoke out with difficulty: "Gu Tingchen was seriously injured. The doctor said he is in a vegetative state and may not wake up for the rest of his life."
Meng Xianchen himself didn't know how he insisted on saying these words.
For a moment, the whole world seemed to stand still.
"Meng Xianchen, you can't joke about this. Are you serious?" Jiang Ranran's voice was trembling uncontrollably on the other end of the phone. Meng Xianchen could even imagine Jiang Ranran's sad expression at this moment.
It felt like a knife was stuck in my heart and it hurt so much.
"Come quickly, quickly." Meng Xianchen could no longer control himself and hung up the phone with a trembling voice.
The next second, his body collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, and he cried silently.
Old Man Meng watched from afar. Seeing his son sitting on the ground with trembling shoulders, he quickly came over to comfort him, placing his large palm on Meng Xianchen's shoulder. "Accept reality, son."
Meng Xianchen cried like a baby, and finally just hugged Old Man Meng and burst into tears.
"Father, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..." Meng Xianchen's mind was full of scenes of Gu Tingchen risking his life to save him several times, so why couldn't he save Gu Tingchen in return this time?
Why is he so useless!
A feeling of incompetence and regret spread in Meng Xianchen's heart, making him feel that breathing was a sin.
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault, you don't want this to happen." Old Master Meng felt extremely distressed when he saw his son like this. He couldn't help but reach out and touch his son's head, his heart aching.
Meng Xianchen cried wildly, and soon his eyes became red and swollen.
"If it weren't for me, if I hadn't insisted on asking Gu Tingchen for help, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess." Meng Xianchen remembered that it was because he went to Gu Tingchen when he was helpless that Gu Tingchen came to the Meng family.
If Gu Tingchen hadn't been involved, none of this would have happened.
"You can't predict everything. Gu Tingchen still needs your care now. If you collapse, who will take care of him? If he wakes up and you are not here, he will be sad!" Old Master Meng tried his best to comfort Meng Xianchen, but it was of no avail.
Meng Xianchen was stuck in the quagmire of despair and couldn't extricate himself.
Mr. Meng's expression gradually grew serious. He grabbed Meng Xianchen by the collar and angrily scolded him, "Meng Xianchen! Do you know how much you disappoint me?!"
"I'm telling you, everyone has to live after all. Gu Tingchen is already like this. The only thing you can do is to owe him nothing in the future. Do you understand? Instead of giving up on yourself here and making the consequences even worse!"
At this time, Mr. Meng felt that his son was not living up to his expectations, so he pushed Meng Xianchen down hard, and his back hit the wall.
At this moment, Meng Xianchen seemed to be much more sober.
He wiped away his tears vigorously and was obviously trying to calm down. He knew in his heart that his father was right and that people should cut their losses in time, but the sadness seemed to take control of him and prevent him from getting out of it.
Meng Xianchen later didn't know how he got back to his room. He only knew that he didn't take care of Gu Tingchen. He slept all day long and felt groggy until the servant told him that Jiang Ranran had arrived.
Jiang Ranran came very quickly and alone.
When Mr. Meng saw Jiang Ranran, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. But before he could even exchange a word, Jiang Ranran frowned and said rudely, "Where is Gu Tingchen? I want to see Gu Tingchen!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take you there now." Old Master Meng fully understood Jiang Ranran's feelings and quickly took her to Gu Tingchen's room.
As soon as she reached the door, Jiang Ranran ran into Meng Xianchen who had also arrived.
The two looked at each other expressionlessly. Meng Xianchen opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Jiang Ranran rushed into Gu Tingchen's room. Meng Xianchen swallowed what he was about to say, turned around and followed her in.
Jiang Ranran finally saw the battered Gu Tingchen.
Tears suddenly slid down her cheeks. Jiang Ranran was not excited. Instead, she walked over calmly, squatted beside Gu Tingchen's bed, and looked at his pale cheeks quietly.
