"I just feel... since it started because of me, let's not complicate things any further..."
"Right," he suddenly thought of something, took out his phone, and made a call to Aunt Fang, telling her Eleven was awake and to make some nourishing ginseng soup to bring over.
He then called Su Qing to go buy a bowl of lean meat porridge to bring back.
"These past couple of days you've been sustained by nutritional fluids. Having just woken up, you probably don't have much of an appetite, so eat something light and don't be picky."
When Eleven remembered, Gu Liancheng helped her sit up.
Holding her hand, he wrapped his arms around her, letting her lean gently into his embrace.
"I'm sorry..." Gu Liancheng said.
"Why apologize all of a sudden?"
"I failed to protect our child..."
Everything had happened so coincidentally, at that very moment, perfectly timed.
Eleven thought that perhaps life is just full of such surprises.
She had thought it was all over.
