Chapter 501: Gu Dai Saved Him Then
Translator: _Min_ |
When Wang Lan awoke, she was greeted by the stark whiteness of the ceiling above her. The pungent smell of disinfectant steadily filled her nostrils. With a soft cough, she turned her head to survey her surroundings, only to find Song Ling and Song Yu lying on either side of her.
She immediately attempted to rise from her bed, but was promptly halted by a nurse nearby. “Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Please refrain from moving about,” the nurse cautioned.
Wang Lan settled back onto the bed, her mind racing with the events that led to her fainting. The grip on her hands tightened as she looked towards the nurse and inquired, “How did I end up in the hospital?”
“Mr. Su had someone bring you here,” the nurse informed.
Su Ting…
Wang Lan’s thoughts were in turmoil. She hadn’t anticipated that Gu Dai would actually come to their rescue.
Song Yu’s eyelashes quivered slightly before she slowly opened her eyes, weakly calling out, “Sis-Sister Gu Dai.”
Ignoring the nurse’s objections, Wang Lan rushed to Song Yu’s side. “Yuyu, you’re awake. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?”
Song Yu shook her head. “I’m fine.”
She raised a hand to rub her head and asked, “Mom, how did we get out?”
Wang Lan pursed her lips. “It was Gu Dai and Su Ting who got us out.”
A glint of gratitude flashed in Song Yu’s eyes. “Sister Gu Dai saved me again. I owe her another debt of gratitude.”
She sighed. “Now, it’s not just this lifetime I won’t be able to repay her; perhaps even in the next, I won’t be able to settle this debt.”
Wang Lan was taken aback by Song Yu’s words and asked with curiosity, “Gu Dai saved you before?”
Song Yu nodded affirmatively, “Yes.”
Remembering the serious expression on Gu Dai’s face during her surgery brought a smile to Song Yu’s face.
Wang Lan wanted to inquire further about how Gu Dai had saved Song Yu previously, but her question was interrupted by Song Ling’s coughing.
Seeing Song Ling awake, Song Yu quickly mentioned something she had overheard but hadn’t had the chance to say before.
To avoid being interrupted again, she spoke rapidly, “Older brother, I overheard Jiang Yue saying that the person who saved you wasn’t her. She’s actually a thief who stole someone else’s credit!”
Song Ling responded in a subdued voice, his expression unchanged, “I already know.”
Upon hearing Song Yu’s revelation, Wang Lan was immediately enraged. “Jiang Yue isn’t the person who saved Song Ling? That despicable woman is just like her aunt Jiang Lin; neither of them are good people.”
She paused before adding, “But Yuyu, even though Gu Dai saved us, don’t forget what she did to us after regaining her memory. She’s not any better…”
Song Yu interrupted Wang Lan firmly, “Mom, Sister Gu Dai is the person that saved me, and you have no right to speak ill of her. If you continue to target her, then we’re no longer mother and daughter. You will no longer be my mother!”
Wang Lan was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at Song Yu. “Yuyu, you would go to such lengths for Gu Dai!”
She then turned her gaze towards Song Ling, pleading, “Song Ling, you need to talk some sense into your sister!”
Song Ling lowered his gaze, agreeing with Song Yu, “She’s right.”
Wang Lan took a deep breath, how did she momentarily forget Song Lings affection for Gu Dai.
Song Yu’s face lit up with a smile as she eagerly approached Song Ling, barely containing her excitement. “Brother, since you know, have you thought about how to repay Sister Gu Dai? If you have a plan, share it with me so I can learn and also express my gratitude to Sister Gu Dai.”
Song Ling frowned slightly, “expressing gratitude to Gu Dai?”
“Yes,” Song Yu affirmed eagerly.
Suddenly realizing something incredible, she exclaimed in disbelief, “Sister Gu Dai was so young when she risked herself in a fire to save you. And you’ve been searching for the person that saved you all these years, only to decide not to repay her now?”
Song Ling’s shock was evident as he stared wide-eyed, gripping Song Yu’s arm tightly. “Who did you say saved me back then?”
Song Yu, puzzled by Song Ling’s question since he already knew the truth, still responded earnestly, “It was Sister Gu Dai who saved you.”
Song Ling remained in a daze on the bed, Song Yu’s words echoing in his mind.
He threw off the covers and strode out of the ward.
Song Yu, watching Song Ling’s actions and his subsequent departure, turned to her mother in confusion. “Mom, what’s gotten into brother?”
Wang Lan, her mind a whirl of confusion and not in the mood to delve into the matter, simply shook her head. “Never mind him..”
