As night fell, the father and son seemed to have endless topics to talk about. Shen An seemed to want to tell Shen Jun everything he had not said to him in the past few years, and even told Shen Jun his bank card password.

Shen Jun listened silently. He felt something was wrong but couldn't tell what it was. However, since Shen An was willing to talk, he just listened silently.

The patient was not in a good spirits the whole time. Shen An actually fell asleep while talking. Shen Jun listened to Shen An's breathing slowly becoming steady and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart.

It happened that Gu Jingzhou sent a message at this time. Shen Jun looked at the time and it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. Is Gu Jingzhou still not asleep?

Creditor: I will not be home tomorrow. The password at home is 0415.

Shen Jun was looking at the message and accidentally clicked on the message box. It seemed that the other party was typing, so Gu Jingzhou immediately followed with another message.

Creditor: Why aren't you sleeping yet?

Shen Jun: I can’t sleep.

Creditor: What? The bed that Secretary Zhao bought is not comfortable?

Shen Jun: No...I just feel a little scared.

Creditor: What are you afraid of?

Shen Jun: I feel like...my dad isn’t doing very well.

Creditor: Come downstairs in twenty minutes.

Gu Jingzhou didn't say anything else after he finished saying this. Shen Jun stared at the seven words on the screen in a daze. Then, his heart began to beat uncontrollably, and he began to frantically guess what Gu Jingzhou meant by this sentence.

Is he coming? Is he coming to see me? Just because I said I was scared? Is he coming at three in the morning?

Shen Jun's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He couldn't believe that Gu Jingzhou was actually coming. In an instant, he was surrounded by a huge surprise. Shen Jun was almost jumping for joy. He quickly got up, put on his clothes, then quietly opened the door and walked out.

On a midsummer night, the heat had almost dissipated, and the occasional breeze in the air was cool. There was a lush and leafy sycamore tree in front of the hospital gate. Shen Jun stood under the tree and looked at the quiet street from afar.

Not long after, a black Maybach broke through the darkness and appeared in front of Shen Jun. As the distance got closer, Shen Jun's heart beat faster and faster. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he knew that he was very eager to see Gu Jingzhou in his mind.

The car stopped steadily in front of Shen Jun. Gu Jingzhou opened the door and got out. He was still wearing the black silk pajamas and didn't even have time to put on slippers.

This usually meticulous Alpha actually drove across half the city to find him in the middle of the night just because of a word from him...

For a moment, Shen Jun really didn't know what to say. Seeing him standing there in a daze, Gu Jingzhou sighed helplessly. He walked up to Shen Jun and gently held him in his arms.

"Why didn't you say so earlier if you were afraid? You're so stupid." Gu Jingzhou still scolded him for being stupid in a cold voice, but Shen Jun seemed to hear nothing at this moment except his own wildly beating heart.

He was held in Gu Jingzhou's arms, at the hospital entrance late at night, in the midsummer breeze, in the faint scent of gardenias soaked in mountain spring water.

It was unknown when the kiss started. By the time Shen Jun reacted, he and Gu Jingzhou were already kissing each other in the back seat of the Maybach.

Gu Jingzhou gently held the tip of Shen Jun's tongue in his mouth and slowly sucked it, as if he was eating some delicious candy. The strong scent of gardenia blossomed between his lips and tongue. Shen Jun was wrapped in this fragrance for a long time before he tasted a hint of sweetness from the fragrance of the flowers.

That was Gu Jingzhou's blood. He bit the tip of his tongue to release the rich pheromones in the blood in an attempt to comfort his uneasy partner.

Realizing that Shen Jun was distracted, Gu Jingzhou freed one hand and gently placed it on the back of Shen Jun's head, then pressed Shen Jun's head forcefully to deepen the kiss.

In the secret back seat of the car, Alpha and Beta hid in the unknown dark corner and released themselves to their heart's content.

When it was over, Shen Jun was sweating and panting. Gu Jingzhou held him in his arms and patted Shen Jun's back gently from time to time to help him calm down.

Shen Jun just sat silently on Gu Jingzhou's lap and listened to Gu Jingzhou patting his back. After a long time, Gu Jingzhou finally spoke.

"Tell me, why are you afraid?"

Shen Jun held Gu Jingzhou's clothes and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Today in the ward, Dad talked to me a lot and talked about the past. He said that he felt very sorry for me and that he didn't pay attention to my emotions in time when I was in kindergarten. He also said... there are still 40,000 yuan left in the bank card, and asked me to withdraw it to pay you back..."

"So, you feel that your father is confessing to you and saying goodbye to you, and you are afraid that he will leave suddenly, right?"

Gu Jingzhou's calm voice sounded above his head. Shen Jun remained silent, but Gu Jingzhou was right, he was very scared. Although Shen An should be a person of little relevance or even a stranger to him now, Shen Jun would feel a dull pain in his heart whenever he thought that he might die.

The bond hidden in the blood made it difficult for Shen Jun to accept Shen An's departure. Even when Shen An mentioned the good times in the past to him, Shen Jun could still recall those scenes in his mind.

Some unreal, intermittent memories that touched Shen Jun's nerves. Shen Jun didn't know whether these were the memories of the original owner left in his body, but he was sure that whenever he thought of these things, his heart would hurt like being pricked by needles.

Is this really the emotion that a time traveler like him would have? Shen Jun couldn't figure it out.

Gu Jingzhou was keenly aware of Beta's depressed mood. He clenched his arms and hugged Shen Jun even tighter.

"Don't be afraid," Gu Jingzhou said, "As long as it is within my ability, Uncle Shen will get the best treatment. I can't guarantee that he will survive, but as long as we work together..."

Gu Jingzhou really couldn't bear to say the rest of the words. In fact, the situation that Dr. Pang had told him tonight was far more serious than it was now. Shen An was already old, and his body was seriously overdrawn due to years of hard work.

Although he seemed to have regained consciousness, this might be a warning of something worse. Shen An might fall ill and die at any time, and the existing medical resources in the country are not enough to keep him going through the summer.

At that moment, the first thing Gu Jingzhou thought of was how Shen Jun would cry if Shen An left.

He thought of his childhood. Whenever Shen An was around, Shen Jun would pretend to be very well behaved. Once Shen An left, Shen Jun would stare in the direction where Shen An left for a long time in a daze.

At that time, Gu Jingzhou, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was spoiled since childhood, didn't understand at all why he had to show that expression when he could see him when he returned home at night.

It was a long time before Gu Jingzhou realized that even after Shen An returned to the Gu family, he had no time to care about Shen Jun. He was always busy. As the servant and driver of the Gu family, Shen An was almost too busy to do anything. Unlike Gu Jingzhou, his parents were already successful in their careers at that time and had plenty of time to accompany him.

Gu Jingzhou understood that Shen Jun longed for Shen An's love very much, but now, his life was coming to an end before he had the chance to feel Shen An's love.

If he cries... it will be hard to comfort him... after all, where can he find another father for Shen Jun? Gu Jingzhou now only hopes that the legendary expert can come quickly so that Shen An can live longer.

Let his lover feel a little more love...
