Chapter 3 - She Is Awake (2/2)
”Steward Gu...Steward Gu..” The young woman screamed excitedly as she ran out of the room without looking back, ”Steward Gu, Miss Yu is awake.” Han Mei could still hear her shouting and yelling as her voice got slowly distant.
Han Mei helplessly glanced in the direction of the door. Why did she run without explaining the situation to her? Just who exactly saved her? And where is her brother? How long has she been unconscious? She must thank her savior and…wait!
”M-Miss Yu?” Her calmed heart raced yet again as her eyes turned wide.
…
”What?” Steward Gu was stunned as he heard the news, ”Miss Yu is awake?” he asked as if trying to confirm that there were no problems with his hearing.
It has been one month since her accident, her condition seemed to be worsening every second as every medical institution confirmed that she won't be able to make it.
”Yes, she is awake,'' The nurse replied, much to his astonishment.
The man took a few seconds to compose himself as he turned around to look at the female servants standing behind him, ”You...Go and inform Master about it right now.”
The female servant's face scrunched up, ”Master doesn't care..”
Stewards Gu coldly interrupted her, ”It is not our business. No matter what, she is his legally wedded wife.”
The servant girl frowned as a disgusted look appeared in her eyes, ”But..”
”Do what you are told to,” the man warned the servant.
The other female servant asked, ”Shall we inform Madam and Miss Yu's family about it?”
Steward Gu contemplated it for a few seconds before shaking his head, ”We should wait for Master's order.”
”Yes,” Both the maids retreated as Steward Gu glanced at the nurse, ”You know what to do,” he said.
The nurse meekly nodded her head. She knew how to deal with the information she came to know by chance.
It should be buried as the deepest secret in her mind or else she won't be spared from being buried underground in the large space around the grand mansion.
”Is Miss Yu all alone by herself in the room? Or have you asked the servants to take care of her?” Steward Gu was suddenly reminded of it as he asked the question.
The nurse swallowed her saliva, ”No...She is all alone…I left in a hurry.”
Steward Gu frowned before walking upstairs, ignoring the terrified nurse who followed behind him.
…
”Mi...Miss Yu?” Han Mei stopped her thoughts from running wild as she shook her head, ”She must have confused me for somebody else. Yeah, that must be it.”
She pulled the pink duvets off her body while trying to stand up from the bed, but the moment her feet touched the ground, she staggered before falling back on the bed. Damn! Why did her body feel so heavy?
Although it was painful everywhere, but what was the weird feeling that came along with it?
”Ahh..” she cried out in pain before looking at her hand, it was a bloody mess caused to the syringe being tugged wrongly.
But what she noticed was not the blood, nor it was her pain that grabbed her attention.
