Chapter 99: Chapter 89: The Medicine (Second Update) – Part 2
Lord Gu clenched his fist tightly: “She is my wife, I will protect her, you need not to worry!” fгeewebnovёl.com
“Lord Gu…”
Lord Gu’s eyes blazed: “I will not let anything happen to her again!”
Nanny Fang did not refute anymore, she bowed to Lord Gu: “I take my leave.”
Lord Gu blocked the news about the Yao Family’s Courtyard, and did not let Gu Yan and Gu Jinyu know.
An hour later, Lady Yao stirred weakly to consciousness.
Lord Gu sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, and asked softly, “Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Yao Family’s lady shook her head weakly, staring fixedly at him: “Where is my child? Where is my child?”
At this point, Lord Gu had nothing to conceal anymore. He tightened his grip on her hand, took a deep breath and said, “She came earlier, right here.”
Yao’s lady was agitated again.
Lord Gu, fearing that she might faint again, hurriedly supported her shoulders and said, “Don’t get excited, listen to me. She is fine, I have found her. Once you have fully recovered, I will take you to see her.”
Lady Yao unhesitatingly responded, “I am fine!”
Lord Gu said, “I know, I know, but it’s too late today, and visiting her would only disturb her rest. In the morning, I promise you.”
Only then did Yao’s lady lie back down.
She looked at him perplexly, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Lord Gu remained silent.
Lady Yao’s brow furrowed, “Did you not want to acknowledge that child?”
Lord Gu was startled, a wave of dread making his heart pound. His strong will to survive led him to make a firm decision between honesty and deceit – “No such thing! Don’t overthink it! She’s my own flesh and blood. How could I not want to acknowledge her? It’s just … I’ve made a mistake once. I don’t want to be wrong a second time.”
Lord Gu told Lady Yao about the issue with blood fusion.
“…I was considering waiting until her blood was integrated with Yanyan’s and then telling you. However, Yanyan got along extremely well with her. I think, if they were not connected by blood, Yanyan would not like her so much.”
Lady Yao appeared startled, “Yanyan has seen her too?”
Lord Gu nodded slowly, “…Yes, she is the young medicine girl from Huichun Hall.”
“Do you have a portrait of her?” Lady Yao after all was eager to see her daughter.
Lord Gu hesitated, “This ……”
“I implore you, Lord Gu,” Lady Yao pleaded with him for the first time.
