"How do you think I knew you were at the Gu Residence?" Gu Liancheng threw a question at her.
Eleven was taken aback, "Wasnât it... Feiâer who called you?"
She certainly thought so, Feiâer and Ye Mo knew they were at the Gu Residence. If they couldnât reach her, they would either come to the Gu Residence themselves or notify Gu Liancheng. Even if he didnât care about her, he couldnât ignore his two beloved children, right?
So during the meal, Eleven comforted herself a bit, believing that Old Master Guâs plan wouldnât work.
Seeing Gu Liancheng arrive later, she felt completely relieved and didnât bother thinking about these matters anymore.
"They did call me, but by the time I received it, I was already in the car."
"You mean... you knew before you received the call?"
Gu Lianchengâs gaze shifted to the backseat, and Eleven was puzzled: "Jiujiu?"
Fang Jiujiu lifted up his electronic watch and said, "Did you think that this watch is only used for telling time?"
"Ah? Can I see? Can it also send messages?"
"Yeah, Jiujiu sent me a message. Ai Lin picked it up and called me. Thatâs when I knew something had happened," Gu Liancheng finished and glanced at Eleven, "Donât do this next time. If the kids go missing, even if I have to crawl, I will."
"What are you talking about..." Eleven couldnât help but laugh, "Do you think youâre a ghost, crawling around in the middle of the night to scare people?"
The car returned to the villa in the Western District. The two kids didnât need anyone to call them. They went to take a bath themselves and didnât let anyone help.
When Eleven turned around, she saw Gu Liancheng wobble, barely standing, and leaning back against the railing.
"Hey, be careful!" Eleven held him up, immediately noticing that he was still burning up. She raised his head to touch his forehead, "Youâre still burning up. Your fever hasnât subsided yet?"
Adding to the wound on his hand, Eleven immediately decided: "No, you have to go to the hospital in your condition. If the wound gets infected, youâll lose your hand!"
After dealing with the children, it was now his turn.
"Jiujiu, Iâll take your dad to the hospital. You two get some sleep after youâre done with your bath. Take care of your little sister."
"We understand."
After this incident, Eleven gained more trust in the two children.
Eleven called the driver over and accompanied her to the hospital.
In the car, Eleven wasnât sure how to deal with the wound. She only knew she had to apply pressure on it. She took off the scarf from her neck that covered her own scars and wrapped his hand with it.
"Hss--" He hissed in pain.
"Bear with it, I have to put pressure on the wound. Or else, excessive blood loss is not a good thing."
With the fever and the bleeding, even the iron-willed Gu Liancheng seemed a bit at his limit, leaning his head back on the headrest, his eyes closed.
Eleven switched on the carâs roof light to monitor his wound. When she looked up, she saw his pale face and was startled. "Are you okay? Donât fall asleep, weâll be at the hospital soon. Hang in there."
He was so domineering at the Gu Residence, no one could tell there was anything wrong with him. He sure could play the part! If he wasnât such a good actor, she wouldnât have been fooled, only to discover his condition once on the road.
With his eyes closed, Gu Liancheng murmured, "I feel dizzy..."
"Youâve lost so much blood and youâre running a fever, how could you not feel dizzy? Here... lean on me." Eleven gently cradled his head onto her shoulder.
