After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.
Chapter 25 The culprit
Since Lin Nan was already pregnant, I naturally couldn't stay in the villa, so I got up and left.
My brother happened to be home, and when he saw me come back, he immediately got up from his chair.
"Why didn't you come home all night? Where did you go?"
Not wanting my brother to know how absurd it was last night, I made up a reason on the spot.
"I was working overtime at the company last night and didn't come home."
When my brother heard this, he clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't pursue the matter too much.
"If you're not coming back in the future, just let me know so I don't have to look for you when I'm busy delivering food. It'll save me a lot of trouble."
"I see."
Sometimes, I even feel that my brother is more like an older brother protecting me.
I'm so glad he's here.
My brother was about to go out with his helmet in hand, and I asked him one more question.
"Want to deliver takeout?"
He gave me a disdainful look and replied, "Yes, if you have time, go to the hospital to take care of Dad."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
My dad had an accident, so I couldn't concentrate on my work and asked Lao Mo for the day off.
After quickly packing, I went to the hospital.
As soon as I reached the door of the ward, I heard my parents talking inside.
"Momo paid for my surgery, right? She suffered a lot with us and lost a lot of weight."
Hearing my dad's words, I felt even more guilty.
No matter what, I am always their first concern.
I took a deep breath and pushed the door open to enter.
When they saw me arrive, my parents immediately stopped their discussion.
My mother looked at me with eyes full of heartache and deliberately scolded me, "What are you doing at the hospital? I'm here to take care of your father."
Not wanting my parents to worry, I forced a smile, helped her up from her seat, and said softly, "Mom, you should rest for a while. I'll take care of Dad."
My mom couldn't persuade me otherwise, so she had to lie down on the cot next to me.
My dad couldn't help but sigh, and said with a hint of apology, "Momo, I'm sorry, I misjudged Fang Xiong, and that's why you've suffered..."
But what did he do wrong? He was just eager to give me a better life and protect me from being bullied.
I shook my head and replied with a wry smile, "No, Dad, it's not your fault. I was just being too dramatic. I still think I'm the young lady of the Gu family I used to be. I'm already lucky that a rich man wants me. I'll treat the next one well and not let you worry."
If I had been able to let go of my pride when negotiating with Fang Xiong, my father wouldn't have ended up like this.
Perhaps we've already received that 50 million, and our family won't have to worry about future debts.
There was a hint of relief in my father's eyes when he looked at me.
"My dear daughter, you've finally grown up."
It was noon soon, and I had just stepped out of the inpatient department to buy lunch when I saw Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan.
What a coincidence, to run into them here.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen's face was pale, and he was leaning against Lin Nan, clutching his stomach, looking like he was uncomfortable.
I followed cautiously.
I didn't write down the room number until they entered the ward, and then I secretly went to find the nurse.
The nurse told me that Jiang Yichen was having a stomach ailment flare-up.
It was then that I remembered that he got his stomach problems because of me.
After all, I was domineering back then, and whenever things didn't go my way, I would vent my anger on him.
Not letting him eat is a common occurrence.
Thinking about all this, I felt guilty.
It turned out that Lin Nan wasn't pregnant, but Jiang Yichen was sick.
The image of Jiang Yichen looking distressed flashed through my mind again, and I thought I should do something to make amends.
Not long after, I went to a nearby supermarket and bought some millet. I brought it home specifically to cook a bowl of porridge for him.
For the first twenty-odd years of my life, I had never been in a kitchen. Even the simplest thing, turning on a gas stove, took me a long time to figure out.
I've cooked that bowl of millet porridge many times.
It's either too dry or too thick.
It wasn't until the very last attempt that they barely succeeded.
Seeing the millet porridge I made myself, I couldn't help but feel excited. I specially packed the porridge in a thermos and divided it into two portions to send over.
When I went to Jiang Yichen's ward, there was no one inside.
I took the opportunity to put the porridge on the bedside table and left quickly. I gave the rest to my dad.
My dad was very touched when he saw the porridge I made myself, and he kept praising me for being sensible.
But not long after he finished eating, my dad started vomiting and had diarrhea, and he even had to be taken to the emergency room.
The doctor said it was caused by food poisoning.
I never expected that a bowl of millet porridge could cause food poisoning.
My brother didn't even have time to run his food delivery business; he rushed straight to the hospital.
Upon learning the truth, he immediately turned cold and berated me.
"Don't you have any clear understanding of your own cooking skills?"
I felt guilty for doing something wrong, so I lowered my head and didn't dare to talk back to him.
Seeing my silence, my brother said helplessly, "Don't cook anything anymore, so this kind of thing won't happen again."
Just then, it suddenly dawned on me that I had also sent the millet porridge to Jiang Yichen.
Ignoring the fact that my brother was furious, I immediately ran to Jiang Yichen's ward.
But there was no trace of him inside.
What about Jiang Yichen? Could he have been taken to the emergency room as well?
I couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly grabbed a nurse to ask, "Hello, where is the patient in this ward?"
The nurse glanced at the medical record and said, "She was taken to the emergency room just now due to a stomach hemorrhage."
I didn't expect him to be in such a serious condition, so I rushed to the emergency room.
Lin Nan looked somewhat surprised when she saw me suddenly appear.
"Gu Mo, what are you doing here?"
Without thinking, I confessed to her.
"Lin Nan, Jiang Yichen had a stomach hemorrhage after eating the millet porridge I made. How is he now?"
Upon hearing my words, Lin Nan scoffed, his gaze filled with an indescribable coldness.
"Gu Mo, don't overthink it. I will absolutely not let Jiang Yichen drink that bowl of porridge of unknown origin."
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness he didn't drink it, otherwise I would have really been guilty.
Lin Nan continued, her words carrying a hint of warning, "I hope you won't cause Jiang Yichen any more trouble in the future. You've already hurt him badly enough."
I did not refute it.
After all, these are undeniable facts.
Before marrying Jiang Yichen, he was perfectly healthy and had none of these ailments.
But ever since he started living with me, he has been suffering both physically and mentally.
I regret it!
But there's no turning back in this world.
I lowered my eyes and whispered, "I'm just worried about his stomach problem..."
Before I could finish speaking, Lin Nan interrupted me immediately, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Why didn't you do this sooner? If it weren't for you, how could he have gotten stomach problems? Gu Mo, you should remember, it's all thanks to you."
These words were like a knife, piercing my heart deeply.
She's right, I'm the one who harmed Jiang Yichen.
