Hua Fei was deeply moved; Gu Fanyan had always been so kind.
“My friend has her own methods,” Hua Fei shook her head. “If nothing unexpected happens, her plan will be realized step by step.”
“Miss Gu,” she brought the topic back, “your condition is not incurable; I can treat you.”
Gu Fanyan was stunned in surprise, unable to believe it, "Are you serious...?"
"Don't you believe me?" Hua Fei retorted.
"No, no, it's just that I've asked many doctors... Sigh, I'm just too excited, I can't even speak clearly." Gu Fanyan said, then laughed again, but tears rolled down her cheeks as she laughed.
"Don't get agitated. Your situation is indeed quite complicated and will require a long treatment period. You need to be mentally prepared."
After Hua Fei finished speaking, she asked someone to bring her paper and pen, quickly wrote a whole page, and handed it to Gu Fanyan.
"These are the medicinal herbs needed for treatment. Have someone go and buy them."
Gu Fanyan immediately handed the prescription to the housekeeper.
The steward knew what was going on and didn't dare to delay, so he immediately sent someone to handle it.
A few minutes later, most of the medicinal materials were delivered via telephone.
“Miss Gu, Dr. Hua,” the butler hurried over, “of the seventeen medicinal herbs, sixteen have been confirmed. There is one more herb that we have not been able to find in any pharmacy in the city.”
“Then send people to search in other places,” Gu Fanyan said. “There’s no rush. We can start treatment whenever we find them.”
Hua Fei glanced at the prescription; the missing ingredient was circled by the butler.
“I know where to get it,” Hua Fei stood up. “I’ll go get it right now. Miss Gu, I’ll start your treatment tomorrow.”
She wasn't sure how much longer she could stay there.
If treatment had been started a day earlier, perhaps Gu Fanyan could have been cured before she passed away.
"Where are you going to get it?" Gu Fanyan asked. "Are you going outside the city?"
“No need, let’s go to the suburbs,” Hua Fei replied.
“I’ll go with you,” Gu Fanyan replied without hesitation.
Facing Hua Fei's questioning gaze, she smiled slightly and said, "I was supposed to buy these medicinal herbs myself, but I'm already very grateful that you helped me. How could I let you go and buy them all by yourself?"
The answer she didn't say was that she could tell Hua Fei and Huo Beichen seemed to be having a disagreement, and she was a little worried about Hua Fei.
Hua Fei, unsuspecting, nodded, "That's fine. With Miss Gu accompanying us, it might be easier to get the medicine."
Gu Fanyan drove Hua Fei towards their destination.
"How did you and Huo Beichen get married so quietly?" Gu Fanyan chatted with her during the journey. "None of us knew. Huo Beichen didn't even tell me."
Hua Fei asked in confusion, "Miss Gu, are you and Huo Beichen on good terms?"
Gu Fanyan nodded, "When I accidentally miscarried, I fainted in the heavy rain. Fortunately, Huo Beichen took me to the hospital."
"I didn't dare tell my parents about this, and it was Huo Beichen who helped me keep it a secret and even found someone to take care of me."
It turns out they have such a connection.
“Huo Beichen didn’t help you very well,” Hua Fei complained, “otherwise you wouldn’t have developed this chronic illness.”
Gu Fanyan smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile. "It's really not his fault. He hired two nannies to take care of me. It was my own fault for torturing myself and not taking good care of myself."
In fact, Huafei can deduce these things by diagnosing the symptoms.
She said this with hatred for Huo Beichen.
Unexpectedly, this brought up Gu Fanyan's painful past.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought this up,” she apologized immediately, “it reminded you of something sad.”
“I went there a long time ago,” Gu Fanyan shook her head. “But you seem to have some misunderstanding about Gu Fanyan.”
Huafei remained silent.
Gu Fanyan gave her a meaningful look and then said, "I've also met Huo Beichen's ex-girlfriend."
"Miss Sun, is that right?"
“I never thought he and Sun Xiaowei would end up together,” Gu Fanyan shook her head. “The girl I’m talking about is named Sheng Nanyin.”
Hua Fei's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like a startled butterfly flapping its wings.
“Sheng Nanyin, I know,” she said, trying to remain calm, “Huo Beichen once mistook me for her.”
“You do have similarities,” Gu Fanyan said, “but I remember that Sheng Nanyin had deep feelings for Huo Beichen, so she was also in pain.”
"Falling in love with Huo Beichen must be a very painful thing," Hua Fei said softly.
"I think they just couldn't be honest with themselves."
"Sheng Nanyin believed long ago that she and Huo Beichen would not have a future, so she sealed away her feelings and never let Huo Beichen feel her love."
"Huo Beichen always thought that he should marry a woman like Sun Xiaowei, but when he actually met Sun Xiaowei, he realized that his heart could not hold anyone else."
"However, although he realized it, he didn't face it and never confessed it to Sheng Nanyin."
"Impossible!" Upon hearing this, Hua Fei immediately denied it outright. "He could not possibly truly love Sheng Nanyin. He just lacks someone to keep him company when he's bored."
Gu Fanyan shrugged: "If he only needs a companion to pass the time, he has so many women to choose from. Why has he only had Sheng Nanyin by his side all these years?"
“But he drove her away,” Hua Fei retorted immediately, her heart pounding with a sense of urgency, “He forced her into a corner, making her face death several times. Even now, if he finds out where Sheng Nanyin is, he will still try to kill her!”
The car suddenly stopped.
Gu Fanyan gripped the steering wheel with both hands, looking at Hua Fei in surprise.
She didn't understand what Hua Fei meant.
"Who are you talking about? Are you talking about Sheng Nanyin? What kind of life-or-death experience did she go through?"
"I...I only heard it from one of my masters, I don't know much." Hua Fei was annoyed that she kept saying the wrong thing today.
"I'm thirsty, I'm going to buy a bottle of water." She saw a convenience store not far away and made an excuse to get off the bus.
She came to the convenience store, where the light was dim and few people would notice her.
She took a cigarette out of her bag, lit it, and the smell of tobacco helped relieve her tension.
After standing there for a while, she suddenly noticed two men standing at the entrance of a small alley across the street.
They were staring at Gu Fanyan's car with ill intentions.
You can't see these two people from inside the car.
However, from Huafeng's current perspective, it is feasible.
They probably didn't see Hua Fei get out of the car.
Or perhaps they thought Hua Fei was the only one in the car, and when they saw Gu Fanyan's figure, they assumed she was in the car.
Who could it be?
What do you want to do?
The images of Huo Beichen and Sun Xiaowei immediately flashed into her mind.
My intuition tells me that nothing good is coming.
She thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Gu Fanyan. "Ms. Gu, there are two people following me, but they probably think that the person sitting in your car is me."
Having experienced countless situations, Gu Fanyan remained calm and asked, "Why?"
