Chapter 184: Letter of Apology
Zhou Xu felt that he was on the verge of dying.
After staying up all night, he only slept for a short while in the morning. Just as he was about to rest, Yan Xi said that Gu Shen’s legs were recovering and asked him to hurry to the rehabilitation. center
Even the donkeys were not as hardworking as him.
However, it was also a good thing that Gu Shen’s legs had improved. “I’ll come over right away.”
“Remember, this matter must be kept a secret.” Yan Xi then reminded him, “Be careful on the way.”
After hanging up the phone, Yan Xi took out an anti-inflammatory medicine from her bag and handed it to Gu Shen.
“Take some medicine first. You’ll feel better that way.”
Gu Shen obediently took the medicine and asked, “Why did you say “be careful on the way” just now?”
Yan Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry. “He’s your doctor. Of course he has to be safe.”
Gu Shen nodded reluctantly. He was in discomfort now, so he leaned back in his seat and did not speak.
After a while he felt a small, soft hand on his forehead.
“Great, the fever’s gone.” The voice was soft and gentle.
“The treatment is going in the right direction. As long as we keep going, you’ll definitely recover.”
Gu Shen opened his eyes and held Yan Xi’s hand.
Yan Xi was sincerely worried about him. Gu Shen was kicking himself for treating her so harshly today.
When the two of them arrived at the recuperation center, Zhou Xu had already arrived.
Without taking a second to catch a breath, he went to prepare the checkup.
Zhou Xu wanted Yan Xi to help him, but when he remembered that Gu Shen was around, he thought better of it.
“Mrs. Gu, don’t worry too much. It’s just some routine checkup. However, it’ll take quite a while. You can wait in the lounge.”
The checkup indeed took very long. It was not until three in the morning that the checkup finished. The exact results would not be out until tomorrow morning.
Since it was too late, Zhou Xu arranged a ward for Gu Shen.
Gu Shen looked around and did not see Yan Xi. He lowered his eyes and was a little disappointed.
After a while, the door of the ward was pushed open. It was not Yan Xi as Gu Shen had expected, but a nurse.
She came to help Gu Shen change his dressing and handed him an envelope.
“Mrs. Gu asked me to give this to you.”
Gu Shen opened the envelope and found a letter of apology inside.
[Gu Shen, I wonder if you are still angry with me. I’m sorry that I forgot about our first date. I feel that I can’t justify myself with any excuse or explanation, but I still hope that you can forgive me and accept my apology. I’m standing outside your door now. If you forgive me, I’ll come in.]
Actually, Gu Shen was already appeased. After seeing this letter, he felt that being late for a while wasn’t a big deal.
He was making a mountain out of a molehill. Besides, wasn’t waiting for women what a gentleman was supposed to do? Why did he have to be so petty ?
Gu Shen smiled and said to the nurse, “Please tell her to come in.”
Yan Xi came in and walked toward Gu Shen carefully.
Gu Shen reached out to her and pulled her to his side. He squeezed her hand. “Don’t be late next time.”
Yan Xi nodded. She held Gu Shen’s hand and said, “Let’s watch another movie tomorrow. I’ll buy a big bucket of popcorn and we can eat it together.”
“Okay.”
After a while, Gu Shen suddenly asked, “Does it still hurt there?”
When Yan Xi heard that, her face instantly flushed red. She didn’t know what to say, as if neither it hurt or it didn’t hurt sounded right.
“I’m sorry.” Gu Shen said sincerely, “I was beside myself tonight. I’ll be more careful next time.”
“I must have scared you.”
Yan Xi was indeed a little scared, especially when Gu Shen put his hand on her neck.
