Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 338 - 208 Great Doctor Gu
Turnarounds always come when one falls into despair, rekindling hope once again.
Bei Ran heard what he said, and she has never been so excited before, because she cares, that’s why she cares.
Gu Qingchen’s voice was still in her ear, he said: "Zong Zheng has woken up!"
Perhaps, the recent events have been particularly oppressive!
For both Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen, a series of incidents were interconnected in myriad ways, yet there was no clue to them all.
But the awakening of Zong Zheng made both her and him feel it was the most wonderful thing.
After Bei Ran said these few words, she couldn’t speak anymore.
She was quietly crying, and she was also controlling her emotions.
"Be good, don’t cry anymore, I’m coming to pick you up!" Although Gu Qingchen’s tone was anxious, it was also much gentler.
"No..." Bei Ran said, "I’ll come over right away..."
"Alright, let Wu Kang drive safely!" Gu Qingchen said, and waited for her to hang up the phone.
Bei Ran replied: "Okay..."
After Bei Ran put down the phone, she called out inside the church: "Wu Kang... Wu Kang..."
Wu Kang didn’t know what was happening, he ran out, "What’s wrong?"
Especially when he saw her delicate face with tears streaming down, he was totally frightened: "Ran sister..."
"Quick, drive, back to the hospital!" Bei Ran said, "Zong Zheng woke up..."
"Really?" Wu Kang also got excited, "I will start the car right away! Let’s go, back to the hospital."
So, Wu Kang quickly drove the car to the hospital.
Bei Ran rushed to Zong Zheng’s ward and saw that he had woken up and was smiling at her.
"Ran sister..." Zong Zheng called her.
"Zong Zheng..." Bei Ran walked in quickly, her high heels tapping the floor with a hurried and anxious mood, "It’s so good you’ve woken up..."
Zong Zheng gently nodded: "I have woken up, thanks to Doctor Gu..."
Bei Ran’s eyes welled with tears, yet she didn’t see Gu Qingchen’s figure.
Where did he go? What was he doing?
Nurse Yang Ting, who had been close by, hurriedly said: "Doctor Gu went to pick up Doctor Zong’s grandmother!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Bei Ran’s heart tensed, Gu Qingchen was a particularly careful person; he knew how hard this time must have been for the elderly, and now that Zong Zheng had awakened, his first action was to bring the elderly to see her grandson who had come to.
At this moment, Zong Zheng’s grandmother had already walked in; she couldn’t control her emotions, and when she grasped Zong Zheng’s hand, she was already tearfully overwhelmed.
"Grandma..." Zong Zheng was also tearing up.
"Awake... finally awake..." The grandmother was overjoyed, "Grandma is so happy, Zong Zheng, good child..."
Zong Zheng also held grandma’s hand, "Grandma, I’m sorry to have worried you..."
"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Grandma looked at him, "We should be thanking Doctor Gu, if it weren’t for his relentless study of your condition, you wouldn’t have woken up so soon..."
Yang Ting also said: "Yes, Doctor Gu often stayed after hours, always researching Doctor Zong’s condition..."
Zong Zheng looked towards Gu Qingchen at the door, gratefully and appreciatively said: "Doctor Gu, thank you..."
Bei Ran also looked over, watching the man standing at the door; in that moment, she suddenly felt how great his figure was!
Her admiration for him, her respect for him, her love for him, had actually always been there.
She walked out of the ward to let the grandmother and grandson talk.
Bei Ran approached Gu Qingchen, and at this moment she also realized how much pressure Gu Qingchen was under!
On one hand, he had to deal with Song Xuyao’s provocation, on the other, to root out the mastermind behind the scenes, and he had always been striving for Zong Zheng’s awakening. How much energy did it take for him to achieve all these?
"Qingchen..." Bei Ran looked at him with concern, "You have lost a lot of weight..."
Words of thanks were unnecessary.
He did all these, partly due to a doctor’s duty, and partly because of her.
To say thanks would just seem distant.
She and he should be intimate by nature.
Gu Qingchen’s eyes also tinged with a smile: "Then how will you help me put on some weight?"
Bei Ran blushed, this is the hospital, yet he spoke so seriously, but for some reason, she found it ambiguous!
"No overwork tonight, go home early to rest, okay?" Bei Ran said softly.
"Good!" He extended his hand to embrace her into his arms.
Zong Zheng has not woken up, and the pressure he endures is immense.
He followed medical ethics, prioritizing to save Gao Yang first due to his higher survival rate, yet Gao Yang did not reflect on himself and instead became even more intense.
He abided by medical ethics, but it ended up hurting Bei Ran.
She is a sensible woman who understands right from wrong, she wouldn’t mention this matter in front of him, yet her heart had reservations!
Now that the knot in her heart has been untied, he can focus entirely on confronting whoever is the mastermind behind this. Who is it that has been undermining him?
Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen walked towards the parking lot together, Wu Kang had not yet left, he watched them come out together: "Ran sister, Doctor Gu, let me give you a ride!"
"No need, I’ll drive! You should also rest early, you have a wedding case to work on tomorrow!" Bei Ran smiled, full of joy.
Seeing her cheerful spirit, Wu Kang nodded then got out of the car and left on his own.
Bei Ran got into the car, "I’ll drive!"
Gu Qingchen did not refuse either and sat in the passenger seat.
Bei Ran played a soothing English song, and Gu Qingchen slightly closed his eyes.
When they were almost at the Lakefront Villa, Bei Ran looked at him; he had actually fallen asleep.
Bei Ran parked the car by the lake, an exceptionally serene place suitable for resting.
Bei Ran cracked open the window slightly, turned off the engine, then turned her head and gazed at this strikingly handsome man.
Possibly because he had set aside his great concern, Gu Qingchen slept exceptionally deep.
Bei Ran listened to his regular breathing, his faint breaths in the silent car, within her field of sight.
Perhaps at this moment, her heart had truly been set free.
Because of Zong Zheng’s awakening, she also had a burden lifted from her heart.
Therefore, at this moment, her heart could be as calm as a lake.
The next morning.
When Gu Qingchen woke up, he found himself in the car, and Bei Ran had adjusted the passenger seat so he could sleep in a reclining position.
However, he didn’t see Bei Ran’s figure in the car.
Gu Qingchen checked his watch; it was already six o’clock in the morning of the next day.
The daylight had just begun to break, the serene lake surface had a thin layer of fog.
Gu Qingchen stepped out of the car and saw Bei Ran coming over with breakfast.
"You’re awake?" Bei Ran looked at him, "I bought breakfast, wanna eat together?"
She placed the breakfast on a table by the lake, she walked over to him, wondering how exhausted he must have been to have slept so deeply and for so long.
Like everyone else, she always knew only that the halo above his head was so dazzling but didn’t realize how much hardship he had endured.
But as his confidante, she understood him more than others.
"Why didn’t you wake me up?" Gu Qingchen had indeed been extremely tired recently, especially after Zong Zheng woke up under his treatment; he indeed had a long sigh of relief.
Bei Ran gazed at him, her eyes brimming with compassion, "Sleeping by the lake is also very comfortable. Here, I bought chocolate coffee, firstly to replenish calories, secondly because drinking it on an empty stomach won’t hurt the stomach..."
Gu Qingchen looked at her vibrant expression and nodded.
The two sat down to eat breakfast, basking in the morning light, before returning to the Lakefront Villa. By then, the children had already gone to school.
Only the two of them were left at home, Mrs. Wu had also gone out to buy groceries.
Bei Ran pulled Gu Qingchen to sit down, then she also sat on the sofa, "Come, sit down, try my handiwork!"
She gently massaged his head, urging him to close his eyes and enjoy.
Bei Ran was happy about Zong Zheng’s awakening, and so was Gu Qingchen.
She knew, he had worked hard during this time!
Gu Qingchen closed his eyes, enjoying her delicate fingers gently massaging his head.
Bei Ran’s delicate fingers moved from his full forehead, handsome eyebrows, straight nose, and thin lips, all the way down to his chin...
Finally, she placed her hand on his Adam’s apple, caressing that symbol of manhood, she actually found it particularly charming.
"You little thing, are you preparing to dissect my body?" Gu Qingchen couldn’t help but laugh.
While he spoke, his Adam’s apple vibrated continuously, and Bei Ran’s fingertips immediately sensed it.
She leaned forward, "Great Doctor Gu, how would you like me to dissect you? With my fingers? Or with my lips..."
