Wen Jie wiped the sweat off Gu Tianmu’s forehead with a towel and ignored what Xiao Yuan said.

Gu Juexi found the doctor in his office and was surprised at what the doctor said to him.

“President Gu seems to have a very weak will to live, and it is one of the biggest reasons why he got infected. Having a weak will to live makes his immune system weak too,” the doctor explained.

“Weak will to live?” Gu Juexi mumbled. Were they talking about the same person? How would someone like Gu Tianmu ever have a weak will to live?

“Yes,” the doctor reaffirmed his suspicions, “I am not sure what happened, but it seems to have something to do with family. Bringing more family members to visit him should help.”

Gu Juexi couldn’t remember how he left the doctor’s office, still in disbelief that Gu Tianmu had a weak will to live.

Wen Jie was still there when Gu Juexi got back to the ward.

“What did the doctor say?” Wen Jie looked at her son and asked.

Gu Juexi had been staring at Gu Tianmu the moment he stepped into the ward and regained focus only after Wen Jie threw the question at him.

“Nothing much. He will be fine after the fever subsides. Please go home and get some rest, Mom. I will be here to look after him,” answered Gu Juexi.

Wen Jie was indeed worn out after the whole day at the hospital and took Gu Juexi’s suggestion to go home together with Xiao Yuan and Butler Kim.

After sending them off, Gu Juexi sat down beside Gu Tianmu’s bed and looked at the man he resembled.

“You owe Mom and I so much. Don’t you think it is unfair if you leave just like that?” Gu Juexi scoffed, but there was no response from the man lying on the bed.

Gu Juexi didn’t say anything else. He continued to stare at Gu Tianmu, the man he had hated his whole life, who was now lying in hospital surviving only with the help of life support.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei who had dinner at home arrived at the hospital with Gu Juexi’s dinner. Gu Juexi was still sitting beside Gu Tianmu’s bed looking at him when Ye Yuwei got to the ward.

“Have your dinner,” said Ye Yuwei as she entered and put Gu Juexi’s dinner on the desk.

Gu Juexi nodded and looked at the time. Just as the doctor said, Gu Tianmu had been running a fever for almost twelve hours with no sign of recovering.

Ye Yuwei made sure that Gu Juexi had his dinner and went to the washroom to get a fresh wet towel. She reached out to place the wet towel on Gu Tianmu’s forehead and was shocked when her hand touched his skin.

“Why is his temperature so high?” Ye Yuwei exclaimed.

Gu Juexi put down his chopsticks and held Gu Tianmu’s hand when Ye Yuwei alerted him, instantly feeling Gu Tianmu’s heated skin.

“Doctor, doctor!” Gu Juexi called out loudly before he could even start eating his dinner.

Gu Juexi punched the wall when Gu Tianmu was sent to the emergency department again. He punched it so hard that Ye Yuwei could feel the wall shake.

“Everything is going to be okay. Now that everything has finally come to an end, doesn’t he want to start over with Mom?” Ye Yuwei put her hand on Gu Juexi’s shoulder and comforted him.

“Such a coward,” Gu Juexi suddenly snarled and turned around. He turned so unexpectedly that Ye Yuwei would have been flung away if she hadn’t taken a step back.

“He is such a coward! He would rather die than face us, and a man like him doesn’t deserve forgiveness!” Gu Juexi’s voice got louder as he spoke, and his rage kept everyone away from him, even Ye Yuwei.

But Ye Yuwei wasn’t afraid of him. Instead, she felt happy that Gu Juexi had finally vented his feelings towards Gu Tianmu.

Chapter 1151: Do you still think that he doesn’t care about you?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The doctors were busy saving their patient while Gu Juexi continued to rant.

Ye Yuwei looked at the operation theatre and put her hands together to pray for Gu Tianmu to be alright. Gu Tianmu had to be alright, or Gu Juexi was going to lose it.

The operation went on from 8.30 pm to 2.00 am in the morning, and Gu Juexi had eventually calmed down as time passed.

Too worried to rest, Ye Yuwei paced in front of the operation theatre.

The back of Gu Juexi’s hand bled when he punched the wall. The blood had dried and formed scabs all over the back of his hand, making it terrifying to look at.

Ye Yuwei stopped pacing after a while. She went to Gu Juexi and squatted down to hold his hand as she murmured, “he will be fine. How can an arrogant man like him give up his life so easily?”

“The doctor said his will to live was weak. How ridiculous! Why didn’t he just die if his will to live was weak? Why trouble me to save him?” Gu Juexi rested his head on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and bit out through clenched teeth.

“Because he is your father, that’s why you should save him. And also, because he is your father, I have faith that he will not give up so easily.” Ye Yuwei squeezed Gu Juexi’s hand and comforted him.

This should be the last challenge that Gu Juexi would ever encounter. No other challenges would be as big as this one once they overcame it.

Ye Yuwei was grateful that she got to be by Gu Juexi’s side for every challenge that he faced.

The operation went on until 5.00 am in the morning. Ye Yuwei was leaning back in the chair when the operation finished, and Gu Juexi jumped up from the chair the second the doctors came out from the operation theatre.

“How is he?” asked Gu Juexi worriedly.

“We have treated the infection, but it looks like there are places where the patient would need a second skin transplant. Take good care of him during this period to bring down the fever,” the doctor answered. He looked tired after operating the whole night.

“So he is out of danger now, right?” Gu Juexi asked softly.

Ye Yuwei stood up quietly and went to Gu Juexi, holding his arm when he heaved a sigh of relief after the doctor nodded affirmatively.

Gu Tianmu was sent back to his ward. Gu Juexi did not follow Gu Tianmu and sat down on a bench outside his ward.

Ye Yuwei knew that Gu Juexi needed space now.

Ye Yuwei pushed the door open and entered the ward. Gu Tianmu was still relying on life support to survive, and the right half of his body was elevated to avoid putting pressure on his wounds.

“I know you hate me and my family, but Gu Juexi and Mom are both innocent and have been waiting for you to wake up,” said Ye Yuwei softly as she sat down beside the bed and tucked his blanket in properly. “Gu Juexi is just like you—his bark is worse than his bite. He got so worried about you that he could barely contain himself. Do you still think that he doesn’t care about you?”

Ye Yuwei stared at the person lying on the bed.

“Gu Juexi would feel guilty for the rest of his life if you don’t wake up,” said Ye Yuwei. “The school’s anniversary of the university I went to is in a few days. Gu Juexi would be very happy if you were awake by then.”

Ye Yuwei continued to speak even though there was no response from Gu Tianmu.
