You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 208

When Gu Mingchen returned to the guest room, Bai Rong had changed into a white dress and had taken a shower.

“Where are you hurt? Will the wound get infected if you took a bath?” he asked worriedly.

She didn’t want to answer.

“Schedule the meeting for tomorrow since you’re busy today, and I don’t have any energy left. But I should be fine after a night’s rest,” she responded weakly while suffering from a burning fever.

“Let’s talk after you rested well. The meeting is at 1:30 p.m., so there is no rush. But what should I do with these medicines?” he inquired again.

“I had an IV today, so this is for tomorrow. You can go now. I’ll sleep after taking the pills,” Bai Rong replied with her drooping eyelids.

When he had poured water for her, she already had all the pills ready in her palms.

She took the cup from him, took a sip, and swallowed all of the pills. Then, she shut her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Gu Mingchen sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleeping deeply. He frowned and placed his hands on her burning forehead.

At that moment, his phone rang again. When he saw that it was Hailan, he hung up and called the orderly, “Go to room 2108 at Interstellar Hotel in Jazona to take care of someone for me.”

“Yes, sir.” The orderly quickly did as told.

His phone rang once more, and it was Su Haoran this time.

His friend asked in astonishment, “Your mother said you and Bai Rong are getting married?”

Gu Mingchen stared into space while feeling stabbed in the heart. “She won’t be marrying me anymore.”

“Huh? What happened?”

“I received a notice yesterday that a mentally ill woman kept wanting to see me, so I went and found out that she was Zhou Hailan,” explained Gu Mingchen.

Su Haoran was dumbfounded. “Hailan isn’t dead?”

“Well, her face was thirty percent burned, and she has been getting skin grafts. Half of her body is ninety percent burned. She had a mental breakdown and was locked up for treatment. Fortunately, she finally escaped and was scared of being locked up again. Now she lives in extreme fear and has very low self-esteem.”

“Who locked her up? Wasn’t Xia He the only one who survived?”

“Back then, she and I were trapped in the house. She asked me to leave with the government official, but as soon as we left, the beam collapsed, and she was trapped to death. Since the enemies were right behind us, I ran out of time, so I could only send the official off to the plane. When I returned, the house was burned to ashes, and I saw her severely burned body taken out, so I thought she was dead,” Gu Mingchen sobbed.

“So she had been imprisoned by the terrorist for so many years?” Su Haoran was suspicious.

“She was detained for three years and had mental problems. Later, she was rescued by Special Forces and was under the military committee’s control. After their unanimous consent, they hid the news about her and locked her in the research center for treatment.”

“Who are they?” Su Haoran had a bad feeling.

“Your father, the commander-in-chief, and mine, Deputy Commander Gu.”

Su Haoran exclaimed in realization, “So our fathers intentionally released Zhou Hailan to stop you from marrying Bai Rong?”

Gu Mingchen fell silent.

“Then, what are you going to do now?” Su Haoran was also worried for his friend.

“I have to take care of Hailan. She has suffered for almost nine years because of me, so I can’t leave her to rot.” He was sure of his responsibility.

“What about Bai Rong?” is friend asked tentatively.

“I love her,” replied Gu Mingchen firmly.

Su Haoran understood. “Who knows, you would still fall in love with her even after your amnesia. I will support you as your good friend, of course.”

“Haoran, did you know that I raped her that year?” Gu Mingchen had no memory of that at all.

“More than six years ago, you went out on a mission and were injected with drugs by the enemies. Then, it so happened that she was also kidnapped, so both of you had sex. However, you kept brooding about it, and Bai Rong was going through tough times after that. Thus, you felt guilty, so you approached her, and you were gradually attracted to her,” explained Su Haoran.

“But did you know that we had a child?” the man asked anxiously.

“Both of you had a child?” His friend was dumbstruck. “I had no idea, but where’s the child now?”

“Bai Rong said the baby died.” Gu Mingchen’s gaze darkened.

“I really have no idea. I already joined the air force by then. Why don’t you look into it? The matter with the child is the most important! What actually happened? How did the baby die?” Su Haoran burst into a string of questions.

Gu Mingchen wanted to know more about the baby too. If not for his amnesia, he would have lots of clues about it.

“If the child is not dead, maybe you and Bai Rong are just a match made in heaven, and God doesn’t want you to be separated,” Su Haoran commented suddenly.

The man’s eyes lit up.

Alright. Let’s begin with the mission that year.

He turned on his computer, entered the confidential archives section, and typed in his name.

There were only the materials he had four years ago in the archives, and they were nothing special as he had read them before his amnesia.

His father also told him that he came here as the chief four years ago, which meant that his authority only started by then.

However, his mission was completed six years ago.

He was a colonel six years ago and should belong to the military base of ​​the old general Cai Qingyun, who had retired four years ago.

Then, he looked up Jadeborough, the hometown of Old General Cai.

Jadeborough and Jinyang City were two cities belonging to the same province, and they were two hours apart.

With that, he decided that it was about time for him to visit his senior.

Gu Mingchen wrote down the old general’s contact information and turned off the computer. Then, he came out of the room and checked on Bai Rong in the guest room.

She was still asleep, and her nose, forehead, and neck were covered with sweat.

Seeing this, he took a dry towel to wipe it off.

Since she had just been hooked up to an IV, he could only sponge her to break the fever.

He filled a basin of cold water from the bathroom, soaked the towel, and twisted it half dry. Next, he wiped her palms, forehead, and feet. Then, he threw the towel into the basin and lifted her dress.

He then saw the shocking stripes on her body, and there was a deep scar that was lapped with gauze.

With trembling hands, Gu Mingchen lifted off the gauze.

Since the wound opened again, he thought that the injury hadn’t healed. As a matter of fact, it swelled badly around the cut, which was near the heart.

His eyes swelled with tears, and he felt heavily stabbed in the heart.

How am I not aware of such severe injuries…
