When the abusive male protagonist wakes up
Chapter 55
After Gu Xiao dropped these words, he hung up the phone.
When Xiao Jiang heard the phrase "accident and premature birth", she realized that the matter was not simple, so she didn't dare to waste any more time, so she immediately dialed the mobile phone of her immediate superior.
It's just that the phone didn't get through, and the cold mechanical shutdown prompt sounded from the speaker.
As a personal assistant, Xiao Jiang also has Gu Haoxing's personal phone, he didn't care whether calling at this time would make the boss unhappy, so he dialed it without thinking.
After a few beeps, the call was finally connected.
Xiao Jiang quickly said, "Mr. Gu, it's me."
"You don't know what time it is?" Gu Haoxing's voice was full of displeasure at being interrupted. He had just celebrated his birthday with Tang Li, and both of them drank a lot of alcohol. Wanted to try something like that with him.
Just as the two were about to have something happen, they were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.
Originally, Gu Haoxing didn't want to answer, but there was usually no urgent matter, and Xiao Jiang would not call him. After realizing this problem, he stopped abruptly.
Xiao Jiang didn't care about his boss' harsh tone, and spoke quickly: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Tao was born prematurely in an accident, and he is currently in the Provincial People's Hospital."
"What?" Gu Haoxing paused for two seconds, then suddenly raised his voice, "Please tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Xiao Jiang was startled by his voice, took the phone away, and continued: "I don't know the details, I just received a call from the young master. He is currently accompanying Mr. Tao in the hospital. The young master said..."
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't utter a few words, Gu Haoxing gritted his teeth: "What did the bastard say?"
Xiao Jiang bit the bullet and said, "The young master said that if you don't come back, he will take Mr. Tao and the child away."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Haoxing cursed a curse, and said viciously: "I think he is looking for death, you book a ticket for me to go back to China immediately, the sooner the better!"
Xiao Jiang immediately responded, "Okay, I'll book tickets now."
At the hospital, the operation lasted until the afternoon, and the lights in the emergency room finally went out.
The moment the door suddenly opened, Gu Xiao stood up abruptly, with a nervous expression on his face, as if he was Tao An's husband.
Gu Xiao stared at the doctor closely, for fear that the doctor would bring him bad news.
The doctor came to Gu Xiao, took off his sweaty mask, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, it's a boy, both adults and children are safe."
Gu Xiao felt his heart fall hard from a high altitude and landed on the cotton, breaking out in a cold sweat for no reason.
He thanked the doctor repeatedly, looked over the other's shoulder, and looked at Tao An who was pushed out of the emergency room.
Tao An was pushed out from the emergency room. He was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his face was so pale that it almost merged with the sheets under him.
Gu Xiao touched his wet hair distressedly, and followed the bed to the advanced ward.
The doctor told Gu Xiao that Tao An had several fractures on his body and needed hospital treatment for a period of time before he could recover.
Gu Xiao recalled the scene he saw during the day, he thought Tao An fell down the stairs in the dark, and didn't think too much about it.
After seeing off the doctor, Gu Xiao sat in front of the hospital bed, looked at Tao An's pale face, couldn't help but reached out and touched his cheek.
A bad thought came to him, why not take Tao An away while he was unconscious, so that his brother could never find them again.
A heartless person like his brother doesn't deserve to have someone as good as Tao An.
But Gu Xiao only thought about it in his heart, and didn't take advantage of the danger to take action. He and his brother are not the same kind of people.
Tao An woke up the next morning, he slowly opened his eyes, his body's consciousness slowly returned as he woke up, and there was pain in the joints of his bones.
In front of him was an infusion stand and a white ceiling. Just when Tao An was confused about where he was, a handsome and striking face came into view.
Gu Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had been guarding the hospital bed for a long time.
Gu Xiao stared at Tao An with sincere eyes, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, you're awake."
The image before coma flashed through Tao An's mind, his hands were subconsciously placed on his lower abdomen, and the originally high swollen pregnant belly became flat at this moment, without a trace of curvature.
A wave of panic surged in Tao An's heart, his pale lips parted slightly, "Where is the child?"
Gu Xiao comforted in a warm voice: "The child is fine and is under observation in the neonatology department."
Only then did Tao An's tense body relax slowly. He looked at Gu Xiao nervously, and said hoarsely, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Gu Xiao smiled, "It's a boy, a small one, not to mention how cute it is."
Tao An's eyes were a little sour, and his nose moved slightly, "Can I see the child?"
Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for him, and explained: "The child was born prematurely, and the current situation is still unstable, and needs to be observed for a period of time. After a few days when the child stabilizes, I will ask the nurse to carry it over for you to see." .”
Tao An nodded. Although he desperately wanted to see the child, he didn't dare to risk the child's life.
Seeing that Tao An's lips were so dry that they were cracked, Gu Xiao asked him if he wanted to drink water, and after getting an affirmative answer, he turned around and poured water on the table.
Taking advantage of Gu Xiao's chance to get up, Tao An looked around and found that there were only the two of them in the ward, and the familiar figure was not there.
Tao An looked at Gu Xiao's back blankly, and said hoarsely, "Where is Hao Xing?"
Gu Xiao paused for a moment while pouring water, but he didn't turn his head back. He slowly tightened his hand holding the water glass, pursed his lips and did not speak.
Tao An knew the answer from Gu Xiao's silent reaction.
He unconsciously grasped the bed sheet tightly, his voice trembling slightly: "Does he know...... I was born prematurely?"
Gu Xiao took the water glass and walked back to the hospital bed, helped Tao An's weak body, and carefully fed him water, just like treating a fragile treasure, "My brother's phone is turned off, I have asked Xiao Jiang to contact my brother, He should be back when he gets the news."
Tao An stared blankly at the sheets, and nodded.
He thought, Haoxing should rush to the hospital after receiving the news.
Even if Haoxing doesn't like him anymore, but their child is born, Haoxing should come and take a look.
Tao An's body was too weak, and he fell into a drowsy sleep after drinking some water. While he was asleep, Gu Xiao came outside the ward and called Xiao Jiang's phone again.
However, Xiao Jiang's phone was turned off this time, and he couldn't get through.
Gu Xiao secretly clenched the phone tightly, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
It has been almost a day since he notified Xiao Jiang yesterday. If his brother had received the news and rushed back, he should have already arrived at the hospital by this time. It is impossible for him to remain silent until now.
Gu Xiao had a vague suspicion in his heart, he kicked the trash can as if venting his anger, put his head against the wall, and swore a swear word for the first time.
Tao An slept for several hours, and when he woke up, it was already dark outside. He subconsciously searched for Gu Haoxing's figure in the ward, but he still didn't see the familiar tall figure.
Tao An looked at Gu Xiao with a complex expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Has Hao Xing not come yet?"
Gu Xiao clenched his fists where no one could see, and hummed.
Tao An's slender eyelashes trembled, he lowered his head, his voice lowered a few degrees, "He's not coming?"
Although Gu Xiao really wanted to tell Tao An not to have expectations for his brother, but Tao An was too weak, he still couldn't bear to say such hurtful words, and lied: "My brother said that there is something wrong with his visa, so I have to I won't be able to see you until a few days later."
Tao An looked into Gu Xiao's eyes, his expression was very sincere, he didn't seem to be lying, and he said dubiously, "Really?"
Gu Xiao nodded his head out of conscience, and clenched his teeth secretly, "A person like my brother, do you think I will speak for him?"
The two brothers have always been at odds, and Tao An also knows that Gu Xiao has always disliked Gu Haoxing. If Haoxing hadn't called, how could Gu Xiao know that there was a problem with his visa.
Tao An didn't doubt that he was there, so he didn't ask about Gu Haoxing's whereabouts. Maybe it was because he didn't want to believe that Gu Haoxing didn't care about him, so he kept comforting himself.
That night, Gu Xiao stayed in the hospital with Tao An.
Tao An was originally embarrassed to bother him, but Gu Xiao insisted on staying with him, saying that he would wait for his brother to come before leaving, but Tao An couldn't resist, so he had to let him go.
While the two were chatting, Gu Xiao inadvertently asked about Tao An's fall that day.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Tao An's face turned pale.
He clearly remembered that someone pushed him from behind that day, so he fell down the stairs, and he had seen that man once, the man who jumped the queue at the supermarket that day.
Seeing Tao An's expression changed, Gu Xiao wondered, "What's wrong?"
Tao An hesitated for a moment, and told Gu Xiao the ins and outs of that night.
Gu Xiao suddenly realized that something was wrong. He thought it was just an ordinary burglary, because when he asked his assistant to go to the villa to pack Tao An's things a few days ago, the valuables in the house were not lost, which meant that the other party did not go there for money.
Then it can only explain one thing, the real purpose of the person who broke into the villa was to hurt Tao An.
Gu Xiao asked patiently: "Can you remember who he called?"
Tao An shook his head, his memory before coma was too vague, he couldn't recall that voice anyway, he just remembered that it sounded very familiar at that time.
Gu Xiao didn't press too hard, he sent a text message to his assistant, asking him to check the nearby surveillance cameras when the incident happened, to see if he could find any clues.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Haoxing still didn't show up, not even a phone call.
Tao An would stare at the door of the ward at first, expecting Gu Haoxing's appearance, but then he seemed to give up and didn't ask when Gu Haoxing would come.
Gu Xiao could see Tao An's disappointment, and tried to excuse his useless brother, "My brother sent me a message this morning to tell me that there is something wrong with the visa, and it can't be processed for the time being, and it should be resolved in a few days. gone."
Tao An stared out the window with empty eyes, and after a long time, he spoke slowly, with an unexpectedly calm voice, "Actually, Haoxing didn't say he wanted to see me at all, did he?"
When Xiao Jiang heard the phrase "accident and premature birth", she realized that the matter was not simple, so she didn't dare to waste any more time, so she immediately dialed the mobile phone of her immediate superior.
