Chapter 1070: 1081 Slumber (1)
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily out of service, please try again later."
Gu Jizhou took a deep breath. Was this meant to be?
Upon hearing "Sorry! The_subscriber_you_dialedcannot...", he hung up the phone and glanced at Qin Huan again.
Her complexion was getting worse, showing no signs of waking up.
Seeing Qin Huan’s belly moving intensely, he raised his hand and placed it on top. He felt something bump against where his hand landed, froze for a moment, and then looked down at her belly, moving his hand away.
Moments later, seeing the belly still moving, he gently lifted the clothing on Qin Huan and saw two bulges on her white stomach, one larger and one smaller, slowly wriggling.
Touching lightly with his fingertip, the small bulge suddenly disappeared, then reappeared after a while.
It was an experience he had never had before, an indescribable feeling, as if his fingertips were electrified, and his previously anxious heart strangely calmed down.
Just like that, Gu Jizhou watched the small bulge quietly. Was this the legendary fetal movement?
Was it the child’s little hand or foot?
One on each side, could it be the hands and feet working together, lying horizontally?
Thinking of Huanhuan’s last pregnancy, he hadn’t paid attention.
Thinking of Huo Minhan, would this little creature turn out as fair and pretty as Huo Minhan, pretty enough to be annoying!
However, now he seemed not to have that annoying feeling.
After a pause, he whispered, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you."
After the words fell, he saw the small bulge resting there for a long time without moving, seemingly quietly listening to him.
Gu Jizhou stared blankly, could the little thing inside not dislike him?
Returning to his senses, he saw Qin Huan still in a coma and hesitated for a few seconds before calling the old man.
The old man answered, not daring to reprimand him, nervously swallowing and short of breath, asking, "Jizhou, where are you?"
Gu Jizhou told him the location.
The old man quickly and cautiously asked, "Huan...Huanhuan, is she with you?"
Gu Jizhou responded with a "hmm," thinking of what Huo Jinnan had previously told him, that it’s because of the mother, Qin Huan’s mother lost her parents and left her lover while pregnant—
He took a deep breath, "She passed out, said she’s looking for someone named Ye Bai."
Upon hearing this, the old man’s walking stick slipped from his hand, falling to the ground, his body collapsing.
Passed out?
Wouldn’t something happen?
Uncle Guan hurried to support him.
Gu Jizhou heard the commotion, furrowed his brows. Would great-grandfather be alright? Great-grandfather has hypertension!
Thinking again about the full concern great-grandfather had earlier in his tone for Qin Huan and the child within her, not asking him a single question from start to finish, recently even having Uncle Guan find someone to replace him, perhaps now he didn’t plan to take care of him at all? Had he already given up hope on him?
He stood there lost, a wave of melancholy in his heart.
Not knowing how long it had been, gunshots and the barking of dogs resounded in the corridor.
It wasn’t until the door was slammed open that Gu Jizhou snapped back and reflexively picked up his gun and aimed at the door.
Seeing someone enter, he immediately pulled the trigger and fired at them upon recognizing they were Xiang Xiran’s men.
This was his first time killing a person, his arm weakened, and the gun fell to the ground.
Xiang Xiran’s promised doctor still hadn’t arrived; perhaps she actually hoped Qin Huan would die?
In his daze, another person entered, still one of Xiang Xiran’s men.
