You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 226

Do I really want my son to follow his footsteps?

Will a marriage without love bring true happiness?

Am I happy?

Unfortunately, all Song Xiyu felt was despondency about her marriage and life.

Now, she suddenly had doubts about her views after hearing what Bai Rong said. A moment later, she hung up the phone and went to find the doctor.

Then, she followed the doctor into the ward.

Once the doctor opened Zhou Hailan’s eyelid, she woke up and grabbed Gu Mingchen’s hand, pleading in a feeble voice, “Don’t go.”

The doctor gazed at him as he explained, “The patient is in bad condition now because she had an excessive loss of blood, low blood sugar level, and a mental illness. As such, please avoid triggering her emotions.”

Gu Mingchen shifted his gaze to Zhou Hailan at the doctor’s words.

With her lips curled up, Zhou Hailan said, “I’m sorry to make you worry. Well, I’m a little hungry now. What breakfast did you and your wife bring for me? Can I have it now?”

Gu Mingchen untied the plastic bag and took out a box of buns. Then, he passed a set of cutlery to Zhou Hailan.

“Why did you buy so much food? Do I look like a glutton to you?” Zhou Hailan smiled wryly.

“Rong bought breakfast for my mom as well,” Gu Mingchen replied in a deep voice. Then, he lifted her bed so that she could sit while eating.

“Rong is really considerate,” she commended gently.

“She’s rather mature even though she’s younger than you,” he replied when he was putting the box of buns on the dining board.

Meanwhile, Song Xiyu knitted her brows and lowered her gaze.

Gu Mingchen handed over a fork and a spoon to Song Xiyu and said, “Come and have some food too. You must be hungry by now because you’ve been busy since yesterday.”

Song Xiyu grabbed a chair and sat in front of the cupboard before she started eating.

While Zhou Hailan ate the buns in silence, she glanced at Gu Mingchen from time to time, feeling insecure and helpless. At the same time, she behaved carefully to avoid irritating Gu Mingchen.

As they were eating, Gu Mingchen grabbed his phone and checked the time. Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.

Zhou Hailan’s fingers that were holding her cutlery immediately stiffened while a menacing look flashed across her eyes.

Deep in her heart, she knew that the situation was already out of her control.

Once Gu Mingchen left the ward, he called Bai Rong and asked gently, “Where are you?”

“I’m strolling around the garden at the back of the hospital,” Bai Rong answered smilingly.

“I’m coming to meet you now.” Gu Mingchen then hung up the phone and strode toward the elevator.

Meanwhile, Bai Rong sat on the bench alone in the garden, pondering over problems related to mental illness.

As far as she knew, most patients with mental illness weren’t aware that they had it. Even if some were aware of their own condition, they couldn’t control themselves during the outbursts. For instance, Bai Rong herself would only be aware of it after her outburst.

However, Zhou Hailan was seemingly different as she clearly knew what she was doing and her motive behind every action. Moreover, her thoughts seemed to be well organized as she knew when to compromise and the right words to say. Apparently, she could control her emotions very well.

In other words, she could change her behavior effortlessly based on the situation. On the other hand, a patient with mental illness wouldn’t be able to do this under normal circumstances.

Not only was she not mentally ill, but she was also very smart to be able to fool the others with her act.

Bai Rong closed her eyes and imagined herself as Zhou Hailan.

To Zhou Hailan, her most important person was Gu Mingchen.
