When he saw the name on the caller ID, Gu Yansheng hesitated for a few second before he walked out of the ward to answer the phone call.
“Yansheng, are you with Weiyi now?”
Gu Yansheng had a heavy feeling in his heart as soon as he heard Zuo Yi’s voice.
Even though he did not know what the relationship between Zuo Yi and Zuo Weiyi was, he knew that Zuo Yi really cared about Zuo Weiyi.
He really did not know how Zuo Yi would react when he found out about this.
“Yes.”
As soon as Zuo Yi heard Gu Yansheng’s reply, he started to relax a little.
After that, he said sadly, “I just saw the news. It seems as though something had happened to Shi Yuting. Please look after Weiyi and make sure that she does not see the news. I do not want her to be worried.”
Gu Yansheng could not help but feel his heart getting a little heavier.
Grandpa Zuo was so worried even with these kinds of little details. How would he react if he found out that Zuo Weiyi was injured and lying in the hospital right now?
Would an ordinary person care so much about someone else?
Gu Yansheng could not comprehend the situation at all.
After that, Gu Yansheng replied with a heavy tone, “Grandpa Zuo.”
“Yes?”
“Weiyi is… injured. She is now in the hospital.”
As soon as he heard Gu Yansheng’s words, Zuo Yi felt his heart beating frantically as he got up from the sofa in shock. “What did you just say?”
“It’s the news that you saw on television. Weiyi was also at the scene and she… was hit by a bullet in her back.”
Zuo Yi could feel his chest tightening as soon as he heard Gu Yansheng’s words. He could not stand straight. His walking cane slipped out of his hand.
As soon as Uncle Yu saw the drastic change in Zuo Yi’s expression, he rushed over to him before he hurriedly held onto Zuo Yi who was about to collapse as he exclaimed, “President!”
Gu Yansheng seemed to have noticed Zuo Yi’s reaction over the phone, and this made him even more confused.
“Grandpa Zuo, are you okay?”
Zuo Yi, who was in the living room, quickly asked, “Which hospital are you at?”
After Gu Yansheng informed Zuo Yi of the name and location of the hospital, Zuo Yi hung up the phone immediately.
Gu Yansheng could not help but feel puzzled as he stared at his blank cell phone screen after the call was cut off.
He felt that Grandpa Zuo’s concern for Zuo Weiyi was a little too unusual.
Back in the intensive care unit, Zuo Weiyi’s eyes were still closed and it seemed as though she was in deep sleep. Everyone in the ward was very worried about her.
It was the first time that Shen Lanzhi had ever seen her son looking so lost and depressed. He was not even as devastated as this when his father, Shi Xiaotian, passed away. When she saw the look on his face, she could not help but feel very distressed.
He did not eat dinner either.
“Son, please have some dinner, okay?” Shen Lanzhi asked with eyes filled with worry and distress as she handed him the dinner that she had bought for him.
Shi Yuting simply raised his eyes to look at his mother when he heard her voice. However, this time, it seemed as though he was looking at a complete stranger.
However, Shi Yuting did not say anything to his mother.
Shen Lanzhi could tell that Shi Yuting was blaming her.
If she had not left Zuo Weiyi all alone in Country Z, if she had not secretly returned to Country C with Shi Nuannuan, then perhaps this would not have happened today.
She did not only hurt Zuo Weiyi, but she had also hurt her most beloved son.
As she thought about this, Shen Lanzhi could not help but feel pain in her heart.
“I am sorry. I have done you and Weiyi wrong.”
Even though Shi Yuting did not say anything, even Shi Nuannuan could see that he was looking at his mother with reproachful eyes. Shi Nuannuan quickly spoke up for her mother as she thought about her mother’s difficulties.
“Brother, Mommy had no choice but to do what she did. She was forced to do so by Grandpa. If Mommy refused to bring me back to Country C, then Grandpa will drive her out of the family again. Brother… I really do not want to be separated from Mommy…”
