430 The Countdown Begins (2/2)
”Darling, what's wrong?” Tang Mo'er replied quickly as she rushed to wash the blood off her hands.
She was afraid he would come in and see it.
”Mo'er, something urgent has come up, I need to work overtime tonight. Go and sleep earlier, I'll be home tomorrow,” the man said calmly.
”Alright,” Tang Mo'er replied.
Gu Mohan left.
Hearing the footsteps gradually getting softer, Tang Mo'er heaved a sigh of relief. However, she could not seem to stop her nosebleed. She hurriedly put on her nightdress and entered the room.
Her delicate hands reached for her phone and she carefully opened her contacts. She could remember the order of the contacts in her phone. She dialed one of the numbers.
A string of melodious tones rang and before long, the person at the other end of the line picked up. ”Hello.”
Lu Yan deep voice could be heard.
Tang Mo'er grabbed her cell phone tightly in one hand, and used a tissue in the other hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.
”Master Yan, how much time do I have left? My nose is bleeding non-stop.”
The other end of the phone remained silent for a few seconds. ”It seems that half of the antidote is useless. Tang Mo'er, the love pea toxin has already spread to your blood. When your nose bleeds non-stop, that's when the countdown begins. You're left with… one month.”
One month.
The countdown begins.
Bang. The cell phone in Tang Mo'er's hand dropped onto the floor.
She was going to die soon.
She was really going to die soon.
Tang Mo'er's legs turned weak as she collapsed onto the carpet with her knees curled up. Her tiny face was extremely pale.
Why was it so fast?
Why couldn't she be given more time?
She had just gotten together with Mr Gu. The period of time spent with him had been so blissful and sweet. She wanted to live on.
She wanted so badly to live.
However, her life was going to end soon.
She was not mentally prepared.
What would happen to Mr Gu when she died?
A melodious ringtone sounded, she had an incoming phone call.
She reached for her cell phone on the carpet and answered it.
”Hello.”
”Hello, Miss Tang. It's me.”
It was Old Master Gu.
”Hello, Old Master Gu.”
”Miss Tang, is Gu Mohan next to you?”
”No, he's working overtime.”
”Oh,” Old Master Gu chuckled. ”He's lied to you then, he's not working overtime. After all, I'm the one who landed him in the police station.”
Tang Mo'er's pupils contracted as she grabbed on tighter to the cell phone and shouted, ”Old Master!
”Miss Tang, if you continue being with Mohan in the future, believe me, this is only the beginning. In the future, his mother Huo Yanmei, his sister An'an and every other family member will suffer. He won't be able to start up his new company because I'm suppressing him every step of the way. Believe me, Miss Tang, against me, he won't be able to do a thing.”
