4725 Never Too Late to Love (132)
Bai Sheng had always wanted to meet the unconscious girl that Gu Chengze had mentioned. Gu Chengze had also agreed to it.
This particular evening, after the couple have had dinner, Gu Chengze took Bai Sheng to the hospital.
It was the same ward. One could look in through the door and see the caretakers. At the head of the bed were fresh flowers. The curtains were slightly drawn, obscuring the person lying on the bed.
Bai Sheng glanced at Gu Chengze and whispered, “Are we allowed in?”
“Wait, let me ask.” Gu Chengze pushed the door open and consciously knocked on it.
The caretaker immediately stood up and looked at Gu Chengze with a smile. “Young Master Gu, what brings you here today?”
“I came to see Nana.”
As he spoke, Gu Chengze nudged Bai Sheng in front of the caretaker and smiled. “This is my wife, Bai Sheng.”
“Mrs Gu. How do you do.” The caretaker greeted her politely.
Bai Sheng nodded in response.
Gu Chengze asked, “Is it convenient to come in now?” After all, he was a man visiting a woman. Natalia was lying in bed, so he should show some reservations.
The caretaker said, “Give me a moment, Young Master Gu. Let me straighten her blanket.” As she spoke, she walked around to the bed and covered Natalia with the blanket before letting Gu Chengze and Bai Sheng into the ward.
As soon as the two of them entered, the caretaker gently drew open the curtain.
At that moment, under the moonlight, Natalia’s beautiful and refined face came into Bai Sheng’s view.
Bai Sheng had never seen a more beautiful young lady than this. Natalia had exquisite facial features and beautiful hair. Even though she had been unconscious for such a long time and although she looked rather fragile, she had been given meticulous care, and did not seem to be in a sorry state. Being dressed in a hospital gown did not take away any of her beauty.
Bai Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Gu Chengze held her hand and approached the bed. Bai Sheng was dazzled.
“She’s too beautiful…” Bai Sheng had initially imagined that given an outstanding man like Yun Tianyou, his sweetheart would be an equally outstanding girl. Just in terms of looks alone, her exquisite face was indeed stunning.
Gu Chengze smiled. “She’s lost a lot of weight. Otherwise, she wouldn’t look so fragile.”
Bai Shengsheng came back to her senses and said helplessly, “That’s inevitable. After all, she’s been unconscious for a long time and has no way to eat normally. Hence even if he was energetic, there’s a limit to it. Therefore, although she looks a little thin, it’s alright. When she wakes up, replenish her nutrients and she will slowly recover.”
At the mention of the topic on waking up, Gu Chengze and the caretaker’s expressions darkened.
At first, they had some hope that Natalia would wake up, but now, the hopeful feeling was dwindling.
Gu Chengze did not know if the Yun Tianyou would see the day that Natalia would finally wake up.
Although she always looked like she’d come to sooner or later, everyone felt a little uncertain.
At first, the belief was strong that she’d regain consciousness.
As time passed, and as her comatose state extended, none of the authoritative experts dared to give an assurance. As a result, Gu Chengze gradually lost his confidence. From his initial conviction, he became confused and started to pray…
Bai Sheng looked at Natalia silently and felt a little regretful.
“She… looks like she’s just sleeping.”
