Compared to the peace on Xi Xiaye’s end, things were not going as well on Doris and Gu Lingsha’s end.
In the afternoon, Gu Lingsha rushed nervously to Hospital T to visit Doris.
Early in the morning, the news from yesterday was plastered all over the media. Qi Kai Corporation was surrounded by a group of reporters too, but Gu Qiwu was nowhere to be seen.
When Gu Lingsha delivered the soup that she brewed herself, she could see quite a few bodyguards in the corridor from afar. Things did not seem right, so she tried to find out what happened. Eventually, she found out that Gu Qiwu had left angrily in the morning because he seemed to have fought with Doris.
Gu Lingsha obviously did not know about the conflict between Doris and Gu Qiwu. She did not know about all the things Doris had been doing behind Gu Qiwu’s back!
However, she felt oddly uneasy and even a little terrified right now!
She had caused the miscarriage, and from what she knew about her own mother, Doris, she would not let her off so easily! She was too familiar with Doris’s temperament.
She stood at the door and hesitated for quite a while, unsure whether she should go in. She lifted her hand and stayed there for a long while because she could not bring herself to knock.
After a while, as she was thinking about putting her hand down, there was suddenly a stern shout from inside. “You either come in or go away!”
The unfriendly voice frightened Gu Lingsha. She trembled as she pushed the door open with shaking hands.
“Mother…” Gu Lingsha stopped walking and carefully looked up at the bed.
Doris was wearing a loose patient’s gown as she leaned against the redhead. Her blonde hair spilled and complimented her frailness. There was a paleness on her face which looked a little swollen, but it did not diminish her beauty at all as she just sat there with a tablet in her hand while looking on unenthusiastically. Before she could move closer, Gu Lingsha could already feel the hostility radiating from her.
When she heard Gu Lingsha call out to her, Doris did not immediately look up. She merely took a look at the tablet screen, then her silent blue eyes shifted from darkness to light!
She did not see any speculation or scandals about her miscarriage and the child she bore! She kept thinking about it, then she realized that Gu Qiwu had not revealed this! Obviously, it was probably for the sake of whatever kinship that was left between them.
Doris knew men like Gu Qiwu well. For him to accept news like this was equivalent to killing him!
Doris was not terribly worried. Since she had made such a choice, she was ready for it all to be exposed, but right now, she was also curious to see how much Gu Qiwu would care for her!
When she did not hear Doris’s response, Gu Lingsha called out softly again, “Mother…”
Then, Doris looked up indifferently and coolly at her daughter. Her gaze instantly turned sharp and was mixed with suppressed anger.
“Why are you here? Shouldn’t be at home reflecting deeply right now? Gu Lingsha, you’re so clumsy. Were you trying to kill me?” Her cold voice was filled with disappointment as she coldly questioned her.
Gu Lingsha’s little face instantly turned a bit pale as she quickly went up to her. “I made you some soup, Mother. You haven’t recovered yet, so you can’t be triggered. I know that I was wrong. I was clumsy. You can hit me or scold me, but don’t torture your own health. Here, have something to eat first,” she said as she quickly poured the soup out and sat down beside Doris. She wanted to feed her, but—
Dang dang!
Bam!
Pa!
Gu Lingsha had just moved closer when Doris’s hand pushed the soup in Gu Lingsha’s hand away, so the bowl toppled over, and then came the sound of a tight slap!
“Argh!” Gu Lingsha cried out in pain. However, she could not care less about the pain on her face as she quickly flicked the boiling hot soup on herself away!
“Mother!”
Gu Lingsha endured the burning pain that stung her as she held her face. She gazed sadly at Doris, and her blue eyes could not help but tear up.
“Don’t call me. I’m not your mother! How could I have given birth to such a dumb daughter like you?! Do you know that your clumsiness could’ve killed me?! Lingsha, when are you going to succeed and show me what you’ve got? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this child?” Doris’s anger-ladened voice was extremely dissatisfied and furious. She glared at Gu Lingsha who stood embarrassed by the bed. When she saw that cowering demeanor of hers, she looked even worse!
“You’re just like your father. You’re all useless! You can’t do anything right, and you only mess things up!”
“Mother, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t know you were pregnant. In fact, I was just worried that Mu Lingshi was really going to hurt you. I saw that she even had a knife in her hand! Mother, I was just worried about you. I didn’t do it on purpose, Mother. Forgive me, Mother!” Gu Lingsha’s eyes were teary as she ran to the bedside and held Doris’s hands tightly while speaking sadly and pitifully.
“Enough! Get out! You spoilt child! I don’t want to see you! Get out!”
When Doris heard her soft plea, she felt even more annoyed and angry! She wanted to explode when she felt the anger, but this was her daughter. This was the first time Doris was feeling such pent-up frustration! One could not imagine how she was feeling!
“Mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Mother, don’t be angry. It’s all my fault…”
When Gu Lingsha saw Doris like this, she felt jittery, so she held her mother’s hand tightly and begged, “Mother, don’t be angry with me. I really didn’t do it on purpose! It’s all Mu Lingshi’s fault. If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. She was clearly there to ruin the wedding! Mother, is she really my sister? What’s up with Father and Mu Zi? Mother, tell me. I’m going insane from all of this. The reporters are everywhere outside, but I don’t know what’s happening…”
“Get out! I want to be alone in silence! If you want to know the truth, go and ask Gu Qiwu! He knows the truth better than anyone else! Get out. I don’t want to see you!” Doris’s expression was morose as she shouted. Finally, she lay down wearily and turned her head, refusing to take another look at Gu Lingsha.
“Mother…”
“Someone, take her out!” Doris shouted coldly.
