Chapter 42 Forgot to let them know I was safe
In the ward, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting bright spots of light on the floor.
Gu Baobao sat on the stool next to Gu Dongguo's hospital bed, her brows slightly furrowed, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on her knees, her mind racing as she devised a treatment plan tailored for Mr. Tang Zhengnan.
You definitely need to add spiritual spring water, but not too much; you have to do it gradually!
The "Gentle Strengthening Formula" in the Merit Mall, a modified version of the ancient method, looks pretty good. It costs 80 merit points, and most of the ingredients can be replaced or explained by herbs from this era!
It also needs to be combined with specific dietary therapy, preferably using ingredients that are easy to obtain on the island!
Breathing exercises also need to be taught, but they should be simplified into movements that are easy for older people to understand...
The more she thought about it, the more engrossed she became. Her expression shifted between seriousness and absentmindedness as she became completely absorbed in the world of medicine, radiating a professional and serene aura.
Gu Dongguo, who was sitting opposite her, and Lu Zhanming, who was on the next bed, were both involuntarily drawn to her.
Gu Dongguo was filled with pride and honor.
Look, this is my sister!
Although I don't know how she suddenly became so amazing, amazing is amazing!
No wonder he's such a precious family boy!
Lu Zhanming's eyes were even more profound and complex.
Watching her eyelashes tremble slightly as she focused on thinking, watching her alluring lips purse slightly as she became absorbed in thought, watching her small, fair hands unconsciously dart across her knees…
The unfamiliar stirring in my heart and the desire to get closer grew wildly like vines.
His little girl, when she gets serious, is someone you can never get enough of looking at.
He wanted to keep watching her like this, to etch every subtle expression of hers into his mind.
Just as the two men, each with their own thoughts—one proud, the other infatuated—were staring at Gu Baobao,
Gu Baobao's fingers, which were tapping her knee, suddenly stopped. The focused expression on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a blank stare, as if she had suddenly remembered something extremely important.
She blinked, then blinked again, and then suddenly looked up at Gu Dongguo. Her originally clear and bright eyes instantly became misty and teary.
"It's all over, all over, all over!!!"
She let out a small, pitiful, and frustrated moan.
This sudden turn of events startled both men, who were lost in their own emotions.
Gu Dongguo's heart skipped a beat, thinking his sister was unwell. He quickly sat up and asked anxiously:
"What's wrong, baby? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you thinking about something difficult?"
He couldn't bear to see his sister looking like she was about to cry.
Lu Zhanming's heart jumped instantly. His sharp eyes swept over Gu Baobao's entire body to confirm that she had no external injuries or signs of pain, but her panic was genuine.
He instinctively wanted to get out of bed and go over, but the movement aggravated his injury, causing a sharp pain that made him pause. He frowned, but his gaze remained fixed on Gu Baobao.
Gu Baobao didn't notice Lu Zhanming's actions; at that moment, she was filled with panic over the important matter she had forgotten.
She looked at Gu Dongguo, her voice trembling with tears, soft yet urgent:
"Brother! I...I spent several days traveling to get here, and when I arrived I was busy treating your injuries, and then...I saved someone, and I even took on the job of helping Grandpa Tang recover...I...I forgot to let home know I arrived safely!!"
She became more and more anxious as she spoke, her little face scrunched up in a frown:
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Uncle and Aunt... they must be so worried! They must think something happened to me on the way!"
And my uncles and grandparents… they kept reminding me to call or send a telegram when I arrived! I completely forgot!
Thinking of her family members anxiously waiting, probably unable to eat or sleep, Gu Baobao felt extremely guilty.
Although she was the heir of a large family in her previous life, she had little family affection!
She finally has so many family members who truly love her in this life, yet she is so careless!
But that wasn't the end of it; even greater panic ensued.
"And...and there's more to come!"
Gu Baobao sniffed, trying hard not to let the tears fall, but the panic in her voice was even stronger.
"I... my letter of introduction! The captain gave me a letter of introduction, and it has an expiration date on it! I think it's two months?"
How long? I was so focused on treating patients that I completely forgot about that!
"When the time comes, I have to go back to the village! Otherwise... otherwise, wouldn't I be considered a vagrant? What if I get arrested as a bad guy?"
She had heard that in those days, running around without a letter of introduction could have serious consequences!
At best, they'll be deported; at worst, they might be investigated!
She had been so focused on her medical skills and the wounded that she had completely forgotten about this matter!
Even now, thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dongguo breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he wasn't feeling unwell; he had simply forgotten about these things.
But then he started to get anxious.
It's really important to let them know I'm safe; my family must be worried sick.
Letters of introduction are an even bigger problem!
His sister is now a highly valued talent by the hospital and higher authorities. If she were sent back to her hometown because her letter of introduction had expired, the loss would be enormous!
He was about to comfort his sister and try to find a solution.
