Page 774 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In this world... could there actually be such a coincidence?

...

Gu Mochen’s dark eyes were filled with gloom, warding off strangers. The atmosphere outside the quiet emergency room was so silent that the drop of a needle could seemingly be heard. His phone rang—it was a call from Jian Ran.

Gu Mochen’s thin lips pressed together, and after hesitating for a long time, he chose to answer.

"Gu Mochen... where’s Tang Bao... uh, I just came to the office and didn’t see her anywhere?"

Jian Ran’s voice was very soft. Since she had come clean to Gu Mochen about everything and had left Wang Wu’s matter for Gu Mochen to handle, her guard had dropped, and her emotions weren’t as tense anymore.

Meanwhile, the expression on Gu Mochen’s handsome face was severely alarming.

Jian Ran lifted the corners of her lips slightly, saying softly, "Gu Mochen... you can’t keep taking her out to play anymore. Although our daughter is spoiled, there’s a limit to everything. If it gets out of control, I won’t be able to manage."

Jian Ran didn’t know what had happened, so her tone was coquettishly charming and very moving.

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Mochen’s lips tightened, and his throat choked up with a hoarse severity. After a long while, he said softly, "We are... at the hospital... Jian Ran, Tang Bao’s diabetes... has relapsed."

Jian Ran: "..."

Until then, Jian Ran was holding the phone in her small hand while helping to tidy up Gu Mochen’s desk.

The feeling of a wife organizing things for her husband... was still very heartwarming, a sense of being a diligent and capable helpmate.

However... after hearing Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran’s hand stiffened, and the phone fell straight onto the floor.

With a thud, Gu Mochen heard the sound of the phone hitting the floor through the call and signaled Secretary Zhou to send someone to pick her up.

Secretary Zhou immediately rushed to Gu Family’s location.

Jian Ran turned ashen, realizing the phone had fallen, and with trembling hands, she stooped down to pick it back up, her voice shaking.

"Gu Mochen... what did you just say? Relapsed? Tangbao... her illness has relapsed? Diabetes?"

"Yeah..."

Jian Ran: "..."

Jian Ran’s tears were almost uncontrollably spilling out upon hearing Gu Mochen’s words, forcing herself to quickly calm down.

"Where are you right now... I’m coming to you... how’s the situation now? Is it serious? Is she in danger?"

"I’ve already arranged for Secretary Zhou to pick you up. We are here at the First Hospital. Jian Ran, don’t panic... rest assured, I’ve arranged the best medical team to take care of Tang Bao."

How could Jian Ran not be anxious?

Ever since Tang Bao was born... how many times had she tread along the line of death.

Only in the past year or so had her condition stabilized somewhat, requiring only routine check-ups and insulin injections at home.

Jian Ran felt as though her chest was being viciously torn asunder. Hearing Gu Mochen’s words, she forced a smile.

"Gu Mochen... I can’t... I can’t let anything happen to her... I really can’t lose her."

"I know... I can’t either, don’t worry, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure she’s safe and sound."

Only now did he realize that the little loli was indeed his own Angel.

Heaven in one thought, hell in another.

Today, too much had happened.

Gu Mochen also felt he was at his wit’s end.

After soothing Jian Ran’s emotions and confirming that Secretary Zhou had returned to Gu Family to pick up Jian Ran, Gu Mochen hung up, anxiously waiting for the results outside the operating room.

...

Because Gu Mochen had personally come, the whole hospital’s dean, including the chief, were all trembling with trepidation.
