Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 42 Guo Xiaotong Gets a Mental Disease

The operation begins from afternoon till night, while Yan Hua just keeps motionless. Lang Hongyue comes and goes again. Lang Cha once called Yan Hua. She picked up, but could not hear what he said.

It seems that her body just stays here, but her heart has already entered the operating room.

“Milk.” It is the third time that Lang Ruoxian has delivered drink to Yan Hua. She did not take a bite of the takeaway he ordered previously.

Yan Hua does not move. Lang Ruoxian directly pulls her hands apart and put the milk into her hands.

“Don’t you want to take care of Gungun when he gets out?” Lang Ruoxian says in a cold voice, “What’s the use of eating and drinking nothing?”

Yan Hua takes the milk and sits down on the bench, taking a sip of the milk and picking up the takeaway which is already cold. Xiaokai wants to say that he can buy a new one, but Lang Ruoxian glances at him and shakes his head slightly.

“Thank you.” Yan Hua almost swallows the rice. Lang Ruoxian knows that she is just trying not to fall down. She doesn’t care whether the food is cold or hot.

Rumble! Suddenly, there is loud thunder. After the roaring and rumbling of thunder, the bean-sized raindrops hit the windows and quickly form into waterlines.

As several flashes of lighting streak across the sky, the world outside the windows is as bright as day, and the lights in the operating room... are lit up.

“Thank you.” Lang Ruoxian shakes his hands with Horton at the gate of the hospital.

But Horton shakes his head politely and says: “I owe you a favor. Besides, I am a doctor. It’s my duty.”

“I know that you have work to do. The helicopter is waiting for you in the suburbs,” Lang Ruoxian smiles. “Please convey my words to Mr. Hua that if he comes to China in the future, I will welcome him warmly.”

Horton laughs, “Your relationship is just like what the Chinese saying describes–since the Heaven made Zhou Yu, why did he make Zhuge Liang? You two will compete against each other every time you meet. I am afraid that you will fight every day if he returns to China.”

“He can’t beat me,” Lang Ruoxian makes a gesture of please. Horton waves his hands and then gets into the car.

In the ward, Yan Hua cries and sends the doctor away.

“It goes very smoothly and you just need to wait for the baby to wake up now!” This sentence is like Sanskrit in her ears, and her whole world becomes bright at this moment.

When Lang Cha knows that the operation is successful, he calls her to ask about it.

“I’ve said that everything will be OK with Gungun. Look! My grandson is exactly the perfect example of the Chinese saying: After surviving a great disaster, one is bound to have good fortune in later years.”

Yan Hua replies: “Well, Grandpa, now you should take a break because it’s almost dawn.”

The old man is really worried about Gungun, and Yan Hua is very grateful for his kindness and affection. Instead, others...

“Why Gungun has not woken up until now?” Lang Hongyue steps in on high heels. She first looks at Gungun lying on the bed and then asks Yan Hua: “What did the doctor say?”

“When the effects of anesthesia pass, Gungun will wake up naturally.” Yan Hua rubs in the middle of her eyebrows. Since there is nothing serious with Gungun, her strung-out nerves begin to relax, and therefore, she feels very sleepy and tired.

“When is that?” Lang Hongyue catches her look and begins to preach at her, “Gungun hasn’t woken up yet. How can you wear an expression of relief? He got hurt in the brain. What if he becomes a fool...”

“Auntie,” Lang Ruoxian opens the door and interrupts her chatter. “It will be OK if the doctor assures us about it. You might as well keep quiet.”

Lang Hongyue gives him a hard stare, and murmurs as she stands up: “Well, I’d better ask the doctor, because both of you are not reliable.”

“You should take a break. The doctor says that it will take at least 12 hours before Gungun wakes up.” Lang Ruoxian opens the door, and two bodyguards carry a bed and put it beside the bed of Gungun.

Yan Hua looks at him, but Lang Ruoxian steps towards the door, “I will go back to Lang’s mansion and pick up grandfather to here during the day. You can have a good rest and there are bodyguards available at the door.”

“Thank you.”

When the door is about to be closed, a low voice passes out from inside.

Lang Ruoxian smiles and whispers, “My pleasure!”

Yan Hua can’t hear it. She carefully holds Gungun’s chubby hand, lying beside him. The tubes on Gungun’s body are gone, and although the gauze is still wrapped around his head, Yan Hua can feel his steady breathing.

“My boy, please wakes up quickly. Mom will take you to the playground and buy you toy cars, robots, or whatever you like.”

The room becomes quiet and Yan Hua has already fallen into sleep. The door being quietly pushed open, Lang Ruoxian walks in.

“...” He first covers Yan Hua with the quilt, and then touches the face of Gungun. After doing these, he stands beside the bed and looks at them. It’s not clear how long he has been watching until Xiaokai pushes the door and pokes his head in.

“Young Master...”

Lang Ruoxian raises his hand to interrupt him, and turns off the headlights of the ward, just leaving a night light and then walks out of the ward.

“Young Master, the staff of the psychiatric hospital asks if they can give medicines to Guo Xiaotong for the second time.”

Lang Ruoxian says, “When does He Mingkai intend to pick her up?”

“It seems to be next week,” Xiaokai gloats. “Guo Xiaotong’s mother hypes up this thing to the company, and asks for a half of the shares. Otherwise, she will not allow her daughter to divorce.”

Lang Ruoxian raises the corner of his mouth slightly: “Go and find Wang Bing. Tell her that we can help her, as long as she sells that part of the stock to us.”

“Young Master, what’s the use of buying Guo’s small company?” Xiaokai can’t understand.

Lang Ruoxian glances at him: “It is not bought for you. You are not qualified to judge over it.”

“Ah! Oh...” Xiaokai suddenly understands something and looks at the ward, “I know, I know!”

Wang Bing does not know who is going to help her, but the price offered by the other party is very attractive. Although she doesn’t want to let off the tease and her son after listening to Guo Xiaotong, she knows that she may get nothing in the end if she continues to be a saboteur. Now there is a large sum of money which is much enough for her and Guo Xiaotong to spend in the rest of their life.

He Mingkai has the same idea, which is hinted by Lyu Yan.

“Xiaotong cannot be married into our family now, but how can her company be given to an illegitimate child?” Detesting that Guo Xiaotong had been kept in a detention center once and that she is now even in a mental hospital, Lyu Yan has already given up this daughter-in-law.

“Go and find her mother. Tell her that we are willing to help her, and let her sell the stock to us!”

He Mingkai does not expect that he is one step late, having mixed feelings of surprise and regret.

“Auntie, do you know the identity of the other party?”

Wang Bing has already received the money, so she does not care who the dealer is. What she cares about is her daughter.

“Mingkai, when can Xiaotong get out of the hospital? You know, that kind of place...”

He Mingkai grows impatient when he hears the name of Guo Xiaotong. However, he once made a promise to the mother and daughter, so he has to deal with things.

“Auntie, you can rest assured that she will get out in a few days.” He keeps an eye in the hospital and knows that Gungun is OK after the surgery.

Thinking of this, He Mingkai is a little excited, because that means he can visit the sick, and by the way, has a look at Yan Hua!

Yan Hua does not sleep well and has been dreaming all the time. In her dream, there is jubilant Gungun, and Lang Ruoxian, whose upper body is naked, waving hands at her.

“Ah!” Suddenly opening her eyes, Yan Hua is awakened.

Why would she dream of the naked body of Lang Ruoxian...

“Are you dreaming?” A clear voice sounds. Yan Hua is startled and almost squats down from the bed. Only after seeing Lang Ruoxian sitting in the sofa in a white shirt does she realize that it is not a dream.

“Why are you here...” She takes a drink to get over a shock and looks at Gungun, finding that the little guy’s breathing seems to be more powerful than last night.

Lang Ruoxian puts down the document: “The subordinates of my aunt came in and planned to have a check-up of Gungun. I stopped them.”

“What does she want to do?” The heart of Yan Hua throbs fiercely when she hears the name of Lang Hongyue, “Is it necessary to give Gungun an examination?”

Lang Ruoxian’s face becomes cold and he laughs at her: “I have told you several times that it is easier to control a fool than a normal person.”

“How dare she?” Yan Hua’s pupils are dilated suddenly as she remembers the words of Lang Hongyue last night.

She... she actually wants to turn Gungun into a fool.

Yan Hua clenches her fists, wondering what she should do in the future. She couldn’t always prevent those dirty tricks which happen under her nose.

“Be at ease. She is not stupid,” Lang Ruoxian smiles. “Grandpa still lives at home, so no one dares to play games before him.”

Yan Hua feels that his smile is sinister. Lang Ruoxian looks at her expression and knows that the small woman does not believe him. So he takes his coat and stands up.

“Since you wake up, now you can take care of it yourself.”

Yan Hua cannot wait to let him go, nodding her head and just saying “thank you” in an extremely causal way, only to find that Lang Ruoxian suddenly walks toward the hospital bed.

“Gungun is awake. Call the doctor!”

A few minutes later, the ward is full of doctors, and Gungun is carefully examined. Everyone is relieved.

“Nothing serious. Everything will be ok as long as the operative incision is recovered!”

Gungun is so hungry that he stretches his hands to Yan Hua and cries. Yan Hua’s heart is broken and her tears stream down. But she dares not to hold him, so she rushes to prepare some milk formula for Gungun. Gungun wonders that why mommy refuses to hold him, however, everything is left behind when he sees the milk bottle.

In the evening, Lang Cha and Lang Li come to see Gungun. Gungun recognizes his great-grandpa who plays with him every day, yelling at him.

“He is in good spirits,” Lang Cha carefully touches Gungun’s head. “Will he feel pains in the wound?”

There’s finally a smile on Yan Hua’s face: “The doctor says that Gungun is too small that his pain-sensing nerves are not as sensitive as adults’.”

“As of tomorrow, I will let the house maid prepare some nutritious food and send it here,” Lang Cha’s heart aches when he finds that Gungun is actually very sleepy but desperately opens his eyes, trying to play for a while. “He is thinner than before. He needs nutritional supplements.”

Yan Hua says, “Yes.” She looks down at her son who has already closed his eyes, finally feeling relieved.

A week later, He Mingkai takes Wang Bing to pick up Guo Xiaotong. However, Guo Xiaotong keeps crying when she sees them, claiming that she is Yan Hua and asks He Mingkai to marry her.

“She is in rather bad conditions,” The doctor says seriously. “We can’t let her leave the hospital, because it’s too dangerous.”

Wang Bing can’t believe that her daughter really gets a mental disease. She pushes the nurse away and tries to hold Guo Xiaotong. However, she is knocked down by her, almost having her waist twisted.

“Auntie, let’s go home first...” Finally, He Mingkai can’t stand it and helps her up. “Xiaotong was not in stable conditions since the last time we saw her. It seems that there is really a problem with her.”

Guo Xiaotong is brought into the room and locked up. After a while, her eyes gradually become clear and she shouts loudly as she thumps on the door ferociously.

“I am not sick. Let me out! Let me out... Mom! Mom, don’t leave me alone. I don’t want to stay here, Mingkai... Mingkai, please come back...”
