Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1020 - 1023: You Won’t Even Help with This?

Duan Wenchang’s eyes were also red, somewhat regretting his previous stubbornness, muttering self-reproachfully, "It’s all my fault."

Huo Gaodi stared at the tightly shut doors of the operating room, his mind blank: How did things develop to this point?

For those waiting outside, every moment felt like a year.

The moment the operating room door opened, all three rushed over, "How’s my daughter/my wife?"

The doctor took off his mask, "The adult is out of danger, but we couldn’t save the child."

Shen Qiuye grabbed the doctor’s arm, urgently asking, "Will my daughter have any aftereffects?"

Doctors usually have a bit of a cleanliness compulsion; he glanced sideways at the arm being grabbed, somewhat displeased, and said, "It’s hard to say. We’ll do more tests when she wakes up."

After speaking, the doctor quickly freed himself and left the entrance of the operating room in a hurry.

Shen Qiuye, pondering something, said, "Gaodi, Mom knows that this time Zhuangyu really went too far, but you two are husband and wife. You can’t give up on her. If not for anything else, think about Xiaoyu and Xiao Lan, those two kids. Even if it’s just Mom asking you."

For some reason, she felt extremely anxious, fearing her daughter’s health would deteriorate, causing her son-in-law to resent her.

Huo Gaodi responded coolly, "Mom, let’s talk about this later."

Shen Qiuye wanted to say something more, but Duan Wenchang stopped her, "Zhuangyu will be out soon, and son-in-law is right; whatever it is, we can discuss it later."

When Duan Zhuangyu was wheeled out, she was still unconscious.

Huo Gaodi turned to the nurse, "How long until she wakes up?"

"At least three hours."

Huo Gaodi looked at Duan Zhuangyu’s now-flat stomach, feeling heartbroken, thinking: In the end, it was that child who bore everything?

At this moment, Yunyi was completely unaware of what was happening here.

She had just received the news that Huo Jingrui was back, and at this moment he was in the commanding officer’s office reporting for duty.

Instantly, not only she, but Jiang Jingya as a mother also became excited, "Yuemei, quick, quick, add a few more dishes. My son is back."

Yuan Zining, just entering the courtyard, heard Jiang Jingya’s words, "Uncle is back, where is he?"

Jiang Jingya, in her joy, reached out and pinched Yuan Zining’s cheeks, "Yes, your uncle is back."

Yuan Zining didn’t mind the discomfort of having his cheeks pinched, his eyes shining brightly, "Great, now my martial aunt doesn’t need to worry."

As soon as he finished, he saw his martial aunt, dressed tidily, about to go out, "Martial aunt, where are you going?"

Yunyi smiled and said, "Come on, accompany your martial aunt to pick up your uncle."

Yuan Zining asked perplexed, "He’s an adult, and he knows the way, why does he need someone to pick him up?"

Jiang Jingya laughed, "You’ll understand when you grow up. Go on, accompany your martial aunt. Once you get him, you can come back and inform Grandma; there’ll be a reward."

Yuan Zining hesitated, "Can’t I just come back with martial aunt and them?"

Jiang Jingya coaxed him, "Your martial aunt has your uncle with her, what are you worried about? Run back to inform Grandma when you’ve got him, then I’ll know when to serve the dishes. Won’t you even help with this little thing?"

After all, Yuan Zining was still a child. He shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, that’s fine. Once we pick up Uncle, I’ll come back to report."

Yunyi was in a hurry, and Huo Jingrui was even more anxious, reporting everything in detail: "Sir, that’s the situation. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first."

Du Tianming naturally understood the young man’s feelings, "Okay, if there’s anything, I’ll send someone to call you. Hurry back, though your body’s here, your heart might have flown back long ago."
