"Doctor! Doctor! Doctor..."
This was the last sound Xu San heard.
...
Gu Yao, who had just walked to the nurses' station, saw a group of nurses scattering in a panic.
He glanced at the surveillance camera at the end of the corridor, took out his phone from his pocket, sent a text message, and then calmly entered the elevator as always.
After pressing the button for the basement level, Gu Yao began to tidy his clothes.
She's always been sensitive, so there's absolutely no way she can see anything wrong with my clothes.
Put on your suit jacket and tie your tie.
Finally, the belt...
The bloodstains on it had dried, and the bright red had turned dark red.
Gu Yao frowned.
As the elevator dinged open, he immediately threw his belt into the trash can by the elevator door.
Open the door and get in the car.
With just one step, the red dot on the shoe became visible.
Gu Yao couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly: "That's good now."
Close the car door, start the engine, and accelerate.
Qing'an is not very big.
It took them only about 40 minutes to drive from the hospital back to their hotel.
After parking the car, Gu Yao took off his shoes.
I carried it out of the car and casually threw it into a trash can in the underground parking lot before entering the elevator.
However, the elevator doors opened when it reached the lobby on the first floor.
The person who was about to come in hesitated after seeing his bare feet.
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow expressionlessly. The people outside the elevator doors not only showed no intention of coming in, but instead all took a step back.
His gaze swept over the crowd, and he pressed the close button behind him.
As the numbers began to change, the elevator started to go up.
Ring ring...
The phone rang, and the screen displayed only one word: "She".
"Get ready, I'll be there soon."
Just as the words were spoken, the elevator doors opened, and the two bumped into each other.
In an instant, Gu Yao gripped the ground tightly with all ten toes.
Zhou Chunhua, standing outside the elevator, held her phone in one hand and Nini in the other, staring blankly at Gu Yao.
"Where... are your shoes?"
Gu Yao smirked: "I accidentally stepped in dog poop. Wait two minutes, I'll be right there."
After saying that, he stepped aside and jogged towards his room.
The moment the two passed each other, Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but furrow her brows.
She smelled a faint scent of blood.
After Ganxi Village, she would never forget that smell for the rest of her life.
Although it wasn't as strong as the smell of Huang Er's death, she was certain she hadn't misheard.
However, by the time she came to her senses, Gu Yao had already run far away.
With no other option, she had to wait at the elevator entrance.
Gu Yao returned shortly afterward.
However... he changed his clothes.
Zhou Chunhua sniffed. It was gone! The smell of blood was gone.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go." As soon as Gu Yao finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.
Zhou Chunhua put away her phone and stepped inside.
Gu Yao then came in.
"Where...where did you go just now?" Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but ask.
“Oh. I went to see Xu San.” Gu Yao said, “I asked him, and he said that to treat Nini’s illness, we need to know what she went through before. So, I went to see Xu San.”
"He said it?" Zhou Chunhua became nervous as soon as the topic of her daughter came up.
The questions that had been lingering in my mind vanished at that moment.
"I told you. It's pretty much what Lu Ming said." Gu Yao opened the car door.
Zhou Chunhua sat down silently.
Zhou Chunhua didn't say another word the whole way.
Gu Yao glanced at the mother and daughter in the rearview mirror from time to time.
Although he didn't want to upset her, it was a problem she could never avoid.
They arrived at the hospital quickly.
Zhou Chunhua held her daughter and watched Gu Yao busy himself with registration and payment.
It's funny, really.
Just like when Nini was a child, Liao Nanxing was never there whenever Nini needed him.
It's unclear where Liao Nanxing got the confidence to keep insisting on fighting her for custody of Nini.
With Gu Yao's help, the procedures were completed quickly.
Then came a series of inspections.
Various blood tests, CT scans, and various other tests.
But throughout the process, she simply held Nini and waited in the waiting area.
Gu Yao, on the other hand, was constantly on the go, handing out forms, queuing up, and picking up results.
But these are things that Liao Nanxing should have done.
Watching Gu Yao busy himself with his work, she thought that Gu Yao would definitely be a good husband and a good father.
If all men were like Gu Yao, how could there be such a high divorce rate?
Just as they were waiting for the results, Gu Yao's phone rang.
When he took out his phone, Zhou Chunhua glanced at it without noticing.
It was Qin Donglai who called.
Gu Yao didn't look away; he glanced at her and pressed the answer button.
"Attorney Gu, could you please come here for a moment?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Yao asked.
Qin Donglai on the phone suddenly went silent.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Attorney Gu, isn't this a rhetorical question? Xu San is now demanding a medical examination and threatening to sue you. Please come over."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but look at Gu Yao.
Didn't Gu Yao say that he only went to see Xu San?
Why is Xu San suddenly demanding a medical examination and threatening to sue him?
What exactly happened?
