You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335 I Am Fine

Gu Yan wailed even louder when Wu Nian asked him to go home.

Wu Nian patted his head gently with a comforting smile on her face. She knew the boy must have understood what she meant.

“No… I want to send you to the hospital…” Gu Yan insisted.

Gu Mingchen eyed Wu Nian, taking in her bleeding arm and back.

He knew he had gone overboard just now. Lost in his rage, he had not controlled his strength at all.

If it had not been for her, Gu Yan might have been seriously injured.

The boy would have stood no chance against the merciless lashing.

“I’ll send you to the hospital,” Gu Mingchen offered.

Wu Nian wanted to say no, but she finally caved when she saw Gu Yan’s worried face.

Her body felt numb at first.

But as she slowly recovered from the shock, the burning sensation throbbed and intensified over time.

Since she had not rested well yesterday, her fatigued body gave in to sleep not long after they got in the car.

With Gu Yan’s voice ringing in her ears, she slowly fell into a long and surreal dream.

In her dream, she was stroking her huge tummy as she stood by the window. Some music was playing in the background and she was humming a tune to the baby inside her.

Back then, things had been really bad between her and Su Xuyan. She was lonely and felt helpless. The child became her only support and beacon of hope.

She knew this child would be the end of her and that it would be difficult to raise this child. And yet, she still kept him.

Unfortunately, the child was taken away after she gave birth to him.

She was broken when they took him away. She thought she would rather die if the child was dead.

Then she asked herself, what if the child was alive?

Where would he be?

The dejection and pain in her dream felt so real she was moved to tears. By the time she woke up, the pillow was already soaking wet.

“Nian, are you in pain?” Gu Yan’s voice beckoned her back to reality.

Wu Nian blinked her eyes weakly and saw the boy by her hospital bed. Her wet eyes curved in a faint smile. “Yanny, why are you here?”

“Daddy and I brought you to the hospital. You were unconscious when we arrived. The nurse already put on some medication on your wounds. I’m so sorry. And Daddy feels sorry too,” Gu Yan apologized as he stood beside her.

“It’s okay; you don’t have to apologize. I did it because I wanted to. Some things are just not within our control. You just need to do as I said, alright? You must grow up well,” Wu Nian answered. She did not even realize she was tearing up again.

“It must be really painful. Let me blow on your wound.” The boy leaned forward and lifted the back of her shirt.

The warm breaths from his mouth glided over Wu Nian’s wounds. Although it did not alleviate the pain she felt, it made her heart feel warm.

“Yanny, I’m really fine. You should go home, it’s late already,” Wu Nian reminded him of the time.

“No. I’ve already told Daddy I’ll be staying the night to look after you,” the boy insisted.

“Speaking of, where is he?” Wu Nian looked around the room but could not find Gu Mingchen.

“He went out to get us dinner. He’ll be back in a bit.” Gu Mingchen appeared at the door with a bag of food just as his son was speaking.

He walked over with an inexplicable expression on his face. “I just asked a caretaker to come over. I’ll pay for all the medical expenses and also compensate you for emotional damages. How much do you want?” he asked, putting down the bag beside her bed.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I was the one who went in between the two of you. Also, I don’t need a caretaker. I’ll call my friend to come over. You can bring Yanny home and rest,” Wu Nian replied with a hint of detachment in her voice.

“Alright then. I’ve bought some fish chowder, some vegetables and an omelet. Rest well,” Gu Mingchen answered formally as he reached for Gu Yan’s hand.

The boy put his hands behind his back instinctively. “No! I’m staying to take care of Nian. She got hurt because of me.”

“So you know it’s because of you? Shouldn’t you give her time to rest then? I’ll bring you here again tomorrow if you want.”

“Yes, I want to come tomorrow,” the boy replied without losing a moment.

“Then say goodbye to Ms. Wu now,” his father demanded.

Gu Yan went closer and looked at her reluctantly. “You know you can tell Daddy if you want me to stay.”

A blissful smile lit up Wu Nian’s face as she looked at the boy. “You should go home and get some rest, then you’ll be all energized to take care of me tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Gu Yan pouted and went to Gu Mingchen without objecting any further.

Gu Mingchen held his hand and the boy did not fight back this time.

After the two walked out of the ward, Gu Yan tugged on his father’s hand. “Daddy, could you be nicer to Nian? I want to marry her when I grow up. She risked her life to protect me. I’m sure she’ll love me more when I grow up.”

Gu Mingchen looked down at his son before replying coldly, “No way. She’s older than you by twenty years. She won’t make a suitable wife.”

Gu Yan giggled and cocked his head aside. “It’s okay. I’m just informing you. It’s not like you can stop me when I grow up.”

Gu Mingchen did not know what else to say.

Somehow, he felt Gu Yan was not any more obedient than Gu Ruoxin.

…

Wu Nian did not call Liu Yan after Gu Mingchen and Gu Yan left.

Liu Yan had to take care of Bao at night, so Wu Nian did not want to add to her burden.

After all, it was just some minor wounds. It would heal in no time.

She finished off the food Gu Mingchen bought and went to wash up. After getting ready for bed, she hit the hay and slept through the night.

By the time she woke up, the sun had already risen. The warm rays of sunshine tickled her eyes as her eyelids twitched uncomfortably.

“Look at how serious your injuries are! Why didn’t you tell me?” Liu Yan’s voice echoed beside her ears.

Wu Nian’s eyes flew wide open in shock. “Why are you here?”

“I called you in the morning, but you didn’t pick up. The nurse took the call instead, so I rushed over. What happened to you?” Liu Yan asked.

“It’s nothing. I fell,” Wu Nian gave her a random excuse.

Liu Yan pursed her lips in dismay.

“I saw a piece of news today. A university student killed herself. She’s a performing student academically, and she’s also optimistic and sociable. She hung out with her friends often and got along well with everyone. Her suicide caught everyone off guard. It wasn’t until her mother tidied up her room that she found a piece of paper with the words ‘I’m fine’ written all over it. The disheartened mother turned the piece of paper around and saw ‘save me’ on the other side. Wu Nian, the reason why I’m telling you this is because I want to know if you’re really fine. Your son went missing and the man you love chased you away without even giving you a chance. Then, someone injured you so badly that you fell unconscious. Are you seriously telling me you’re fine?”
