Thunder: "Sure! I'll be your witness and give a speech on stage."
Liao Qian: "Haha...Alright, come on over!"
Lei Ting: "I'll take a shower too. After I shower, I'll go with An Ning. Is there anything else I can get for you?"
Liao Qian: "No need, I'm having surgery at noon. I hope you can all be here."
Thunder: "We'll definitely stay with you. I'm hanging up now, going to take a shower."
Liao Qian hung up the phone and looked out the window. Gu Li had arrived early that morning. While Allen was sleeping by the bedside, Gu Li touched Liao Qian's face and Allen's head, then awkwardly clenched his fist. Liao Qian turned his head to look at him. Allen noticed Gu Li in the ward, stood up, and went out with him. Gu Li led him to his office, the office of the Magician of the First Surgery Department in Niujin City. In the office, there was a sweater that Allen had knitted for him, which Gu Li had framed and hung on the wall.
Gu Li: "Didn't sleep all night?"
Allen sat wearily on the sofa, his eyes closed and head tilted back. Gu Li poured him a cup of coffee. Allen took a sip.
Allen: "No sugar added."
Gu Li: "This cup has two servings of sugar."
Allen suddenly remembered that when they were children, even the amount of sugar they ate was strictly rationed. Mr. Newsport was very strict with them, and there were rations for everything they ate and drank. Guli loved to eat sugar, and Allen would put the sugar from his coffee into Guli's cup. Guli got used to drinking coffee with two portions of sugar.
Allen: "I need your help to perform surgery on Liao Qian at noon."
Gu Li: "Saving lives and healing the wounded is my original aspiration."
Ellen: "How about...Ariel...?"
Guli: "After she gave birth to Hades, I rarely saw her. I was very busy with work, and I rarely went back to Rabbit Heart Castle."
Allen: "Why...why did you do this? Why didn't you treat her well after you got her?"
Guli: "Because Hades is already the designated person for the title, Ariel is no longer of any use to me. Seeing her will remind me of my betrayal of Liao Qian."
Allen closed his eyes in anger. He gripped the coffee cup tightly, and Gu Li gently pried his hand away. Both hands were beautiful in their own way. Allen stroked the calluses on Gu Li's fingers, calloused from surgical scissors, while Gu Li bandaged Allen's finger where he had been pricked by a needle. Allen looked at Gu Li, who was filled with tenderness and concern for him.
Alan: "Brother, Ariel is a victim of our relationship. I hope you will treat her well."
Guli: "She has already gotten what she wanted, and these sacrifices were well worth it."
Allen: "I was wrong to you back then, but Ariel and Liao Qian are innocent."
Gu Li: "What happened before is in the past. I don't blame you. I hope you will return Liao Qian to me. Everything I have is yours."
Allen: "Impossible."
Guli: "You still have Ariel in your heart."
Allen: "It was you, it was you who took her, you ruined my perfection, you tore her apart."
Guli: "You've always thought that Ariel would do anything for the title, that she loves me and you, but she loves Newsport's title even more."
Allen: "I don't want any of it, I don't want anything, I only want Liao Qian. Why are you still trying to ruin things? Why?"
Gu Li wiped away Allen's hot tears and showed him Liao Qian's medical records. The red and swollen lesions spoke volumes about Liao Qian's pain at that moment.
Gu Li: "The surgery was necessary because of Liao Qian's illness; it wasn't because I wanted to ruin his perfection."
Allen watched Liao Qian's film and pleaded with Gu Li with heartache.
Allen: "Brother, heal him, and don't let him suffer from illness anymore."
Gu Li: "Of course, you don't need to beg me with that pitiful look. I will heal him."
Allen clenched his fists and cried, just like when he was a child. When Sir Newsham tore up the clothes Allen had sewn, Allen clenched his fists and cried like this. Guli opened his fists. At this moment, Guli hoped that Allen could live by his side as before.
Guli: "Allen, it was selfish of me to kick you out of the castle. For the past two years, I have been regretting and reflecting on my actions. I was wrong about Ariel, but she also had her own selfish motives. You and Liao Qian betrayed me, and Ariel and I betrayed you, but I have not had a day without regret. My lover and my brother got together. How can I not regret it?"
Allen: "My lover slept with my brother and got pregnant. How can I not feel remorse?"
Guli: "Allen, I'm giving you everything. It's all yours. Come home and return to the Newsport family."
Allen: "Impossible. Asking me to go home would mean that Liao Qian and I are going to break up. Impossible."
Looking at Allen's stubborn expression, Gu Li sighed softly and found a photo of Hades on his phone. Hades looked just like Gu Li, and also just like Allen.
Guli: "I had Ariel bring him here. You haven't seen him since he was born, but Hades can already call me 'Dad' and 'Uncle'."
Allen: "I've seen him. I bribed the family doctor, and while you were away, I went back to Newport Castle as the family doctor's entourage and personally dressed him in the clothes I had sewn for him."
Guli: "You went back to the castle, why didn't you see your parents? They miss you very much."
Allen: "I am no longer their son."
Guli: "Allen, are you so bothered by me taking Ariel away? I didn't take Ariel away; she came to me because of her desire for the title."
Allen: "Brother, I just hope you treat her well. Liao Qian and I are already together."
Gu Li: "I love Liao Qian, I love him more than you do. You still have Ariel in your heart."
