“Ming, you’re here,” Gu Shaoting said, his voice weak and strained.
“Yes, it’s me. How are you feeling?” He Ming felt a huge weight lift off his chest upon seeing that Gu Shaoting recognized him and could speak clearly.
“My leg hurts a lot,” Gu Shaoting said, now fully aware of the excruciating pain in his leg.
“It’s probably nerve damage. The doctors will run some tests soon,” He Ming reassured him.
Gu Shaoting nodded weakly and closed his eyes again. Suddenly, he opened them and asked, “Ming, does Shu Pan know?”
“No, you instructed Secretary Zhang not to tell her, so I didn’t. Do you want me to call her?” He Ming assumed that in such vulnerable moments, even a man would want his loved one by his side.
“No... don’t tell her,” Gu Shaoting forced out the words.
“Alright, I understand. Don’t talk anymore. Just rest and recover,” He Ming advised, seeing how much effort it took for Gu Shaoting to speak.
A while later, the doctor arrived.
Strangely, Gu Shaoting seemed serene, as if he had accepted the outcome.
“Yes,” Gu Shaoting responded quietly, without further comment.
“Shaoting, don’t worry. With proper rehabilitation, you’ll get better,” He Ming reassured him, repeating the doctor’s advice.
Gu Shaoting gazed out the window, lost in thought. “If I don’t recover, I’ll just be a cripple.”
“Don’t say that, Shaoting. You’ll recover.”
“Ming, do you know why the accident happened? The truck driver’s fatigue was one reason, but the other was that I was distracted. Normally, I would have avoided the collision, but I was lost in thought,” Gu Shaoting admitted.
“What were you thinking about? Did you have a fight with Shu Pan?” He Ming guessed correctly.
Gu Shaoting gave a bitter smile, appreciating how well his friend knew him.
“This time, I was set up, but I won’t let them get away with it,” Gu Shaoting said fiercely, his eyes sharp with determination.
“What happened?” He Ming was taken aback by this revelation.
“Charlene set me up. She arranged for intimate photos of Tong Fei and me to be taken and sent to Shu Pan. She misunderstood,” Gu Shaoting explained briefly.
