After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

The man on the stretcher pressed his right hand tightly against his abdomen, his brows furrowed, and his handsome face was almost bloodless.

Shen Yao happened to be standing on the outermost edge, so she had the clearest view when the medical staff carried Gu Tianyou out.

Gu Tianyou felt that the people around him were too noisy, so he asked his assistant Chen Jie to send them away. When he looked up, he saw Shen Yao looking at him.

Just when he thought the woman was paying attention to him, she merely glanced at him indifferently and then turned away, no longer looking at him.

The ambulance sped away from the Spinner Hotel and was taken to the hospital. Lying on the hospital bed, Gu Tianyou's mind was filled with Shen Yao's cold gaze.

This woman doesn't even care when she has a stomachache.

Does she really not love me anymore?

Gu Tianyou felt a pang of panic. The pain intensified, and his consciousness grew increasingly blurred...

After examining Gu Tianyou, the doctor looked serious. "Acute appendicitis. He needs immediate surgery. Are the patient's family members here?"

Assistant Chen Jie quickly stepped forward and raised his hand.

The doctor glanced at him and handed him the surgical consent form: "The patient needs surgery immediately. Go and prepare."

Chen Jie shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no, doctor, I'm not a patient's family member, I'm just his subordinate."

The doctor frowned. "Then get the patient's family here immediately; they need to sign the surgical consent form!"

After receiving the call from the hospital, Grandpa Gu immediately asked his housekeeper, Uncle Wang, to take him to the hospital by car.

When Gu Tianyou finished the surgery and opened his eyes, he saw Old Master Gu with bloodshot eyes looking at him with a worried expression.

Upon seeing his grandson awake, Grandpa Gu's worried expression immediately changed.

"You're such a grown-up, don't you know how to take good care of yourself?"

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Gu Tianyou had just woken up from the anesthesia and his mind was still a blur.

Grandpa Gu said irritably, "I didn't want to come either, but I'm your immediate family member. If I don't come, who will sign the consent form for your surgery?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianyou finally understood what had happened.

He turned his head, his icy gaze like a knife, and shot it at his assistant Chen Jie. "Grandpa is old, how could you let him come! Don't you know to call the young mistress over to sign?"

Feeling deeply wronged by the scolding, Chen Jie murmured softly, "Mr. Gu, have you forgotten? You and the young mistress are divorced!"

Divorced? Hearing Chen Jie's words, Gu Tianyou felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and finally remembered what had happened in the past two days.

Chen Yao, who had been harassing him for years, actually divorced him.

It all felt like a dream, so unreal.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Chen Jie's exclamation drew Gu Tianyou's attention.

Old Master Gu's face turned deathly pale. He clutched his chest and collapsed into Chen Jie's arms.

"Grandpa!" Gu Tianyou tried to sit up, but the anesthesia in his lower body hadn't completely worn off, so he couldn't get up at all and could only stare anxiously.

Just then, Uncle Wang, the Gu family's butler, walked in and, together with Chen Jie, helped Old Master Gu lie down.

Shen Yao received the call from the housekeeper, Uncle Wang, at one o'clock in the morning.

"Young Madam, something terrible has happened! The Old Master has fainted!"

Shen Yao had always regarded Old Master Gu as her own family, so when she heard that Old Master Gu had fainted, she immediately asked Uncle Wang to send her the specific address. Therefore, she did not notice at all that the old housekeeper Uncle Wang still addressed her as "Young Madam".

Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Grandpa Gu undergoing emergency treatment, Shen Yao's heart immediately jumped. She hurriedly asked Uncle Wang, who was standing nearby, what had happened.

Uncle Wang told Shen Yao everything. He explained that when Grandpa Gu learned that Gu Tianyou was hospitalized and needed surgery, his heart was already upset. He had also stayed at the hospital all night and caught a chill, which was why he was in this state.

After understanding the whole story, Shen Yao realized that Old Master Gu acted this way because he was worried about Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou's mother passed away early, and his father settled abroad, so it was Grandpa Gu who raised Gu Tianyou.

"Yaoyao, what brings you here? Did Uncle Wang tell you?"

Grandpa Gu was naturally very happy to see Shen Yao when he woke up.

However, he also felt that since Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou were divorced, Uncle Wang shouldn't bother Shen Yao anymore.

Shen Yao knew what Grandpa Gu was thinking, so she took his hand and gently comforted him, "Grandpa, you've treated me like your own granddaughter all these years. Now that you're sick, it's only right that I come to see you and take care of you!"

Grandpa Gu sighed deeply, "Ah, Yao Yao, you are such a good child. It's just that Tianyou is unlucky!"

Uncle Wang sighed, "Well, it's no wonder the young master has no one to take care of him now."

Old Master Gu snorted, "He certainly deserved it!"

Although he said that, Old Master Gu still sent Uncle Wang to take care of Gu Tianyou.

Uncle Wang didn't move, but looked at Shen Yao with a serious expression and said, "Master, I've gotten used to serving you all these years, and I don't know how to serve the young master anymore. Besides, the young master doesn't like being served by an old man like me."

Grandpa Gu rolled his eyes, about to get angry, when Shen Yao stood up and advised, "Grandpa, Uncle Wang has been with you since he was in the army, so he definitely knows how to take better care of you. I'll go take care of Tianyou."

Once Shen Yao's figure disappeared through the door, Old Master Gu looked at the butler meaningfully, "Things have come to this point, why do you still try to bring them together? Tianyou's heart is full of Ye Yingying, it will only make Yao Yao more heartbroken."

Uncle Wang smiled mysteriously, "Master, I think the young master actually likes the young mistress. He just hasn't realized it yet. Give them more opportunities to spend time together, and perhaps sparks will fly."

A spark did indeed fly between Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao, but it wasn't a spark of love.

"What are you doing here? Get out!"

When Gu Tianyou opened his eyes and saw that it was Shen Yao wiping his face, he immediately flew into a rage and yelled at her.

Especially when he thought about how this woman had abandoned him when he had a stomachache, he became even more furious and knocked over the basin of water in Shen Yao's hands.

The warm water soaked Shen Yao's skirt.

She paused for a moment, then stopped her from hysterically begging Gu Tianyou not to be angry, as she had done before.

Instead, she calmly called the caregiver to clean the house.

"Brother Tianyou, what happened? Why do you look so pale?"

A gentle, slightly surprised voice came from the doorway.

Shen Yao knew who it was without even turning around.

A tall bodyguard pushed Ye Yingying, who was in a wheelchair, into the room.

When Ye Yingying saw Shen Yao, who was soaking wet, she showed exaggerated concern.

"Yaoyao, why is your skirt wet? Are you alright?"

Shen Yao curled her lips into a cold smile, glanced at Ye Yingying indifferently, and thought to herself, "This woman is truly a master of manipulative tactics; her acting is always on point."

However, Shen Yao was too lazy to act with her anymore.

"I don't need your fake concern. Now that you're here, I'll leave this baby-like man, Gu Tianyou, to you to take care of."
