Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby! Chapter 78: The Grandfather Says He’ll Come Back to See His
Military District General Hospital, outside the ward.
The corridor was crowded with people, the atmosphere so tense it was almost solid.
Wang Xiu’e held onto Sister Zhou, her eyes red and fixed intently on the tightly closed hospital room door.
The Commander and Political Commissioner Chen stood to the side, their faces equally somber.
Gu Yanshen stood closest to the door, his right arm in a sling on his chest, his left hand pressed against the door, motionless.
His blood-stained military uniform was still on, and he seed like a statue on the verge of cracking.
"Creak—"
The door opened.
Dean Wu removed his mask, his face showing fatigue, but his eyes were bright.
Everyone instantly gathered around.
"Dean Wu, how is Wanwan?"
Wang Xiu’e’s voice was trembling.
Gu Yanshen didn’t move, but the tension in his back said it all.
Dean Wu waved his hand.
"Rest assured, both the mother and the child are safe."
He paused, his tone becoming heavier.
"However, she was greatly frightened, which triggered the fetus. From now on, she must absolutely rest in bed and recuperate! There must be no more mishaps!"
Wang Xiu’e’s legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.
"Thank God... thank God..."
The Commander and Political Commissioner Chen also let out a long breath.
Gu Yanshen seed like all the strength had been drained from him, his body swayed, and he supported himself against the doorfra with his left hand.
He then pushed the door open and went inside.
Lin Wan Yi lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, eyes tightly shut, with a needle in the back of her hand.
Gu Yanshen walked to the bedside, bent down, and gently held her cold hand with his uninjured one.
"Wanyi."
His voice was extrely hoarse.
"I’m here."
At that mont, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor outside.
"Brother! How is sister-in-law!"
Gu Lan rushed in, and upon seeing Lin Wan Yi on the bed, began to cry on the spot.
"Sister-in-law!"
She threw herself by the bedside, crying even harder when she saw the bloodied marks on Lin Wan Yi’s wrist.
Lin Wan Yi was awakened by the noise and slowly opened her eyes.
"Don’t cry."
Her voice was very weak.
"I’m alright."
Gu Lan cried and laughed at the sa ti.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, you scared to death!"
Lin Wan Yi looked at Gu Yanshen.
"Did you get your injury treated?"
Gu Yanshen shook his head.
"Just a superficial wound."
Lin Wan Yi frowned.
"Go get it treated."
Gu Yanshen didn’t move.
"You sleep first."
"I can’t sleep if you don’t go."
The two looked at each other.
Finally, Gu Yanshen conceded.
"Alright."
He called a nurse and treated the wound on his shoulder, behind the hospital screen.
The bullet had grazed him, leaving a fierce wound.
Gu Lan watched her brother, who seed to obey his wife, and finally stopped crying.
She leaned close to Lin Wan Yi’s ear.
"Sister-in-law, what about Zhou Wenxiu? Just let her off?"
Lin Wan Yi shook her head.
"No rush."
Her voice was still soft.
"First, I need to recover."
"We’re not going back to Beijing for the ti being."
Gu Lan nodded.
"Right, recovering is most important! Leave the rest to my brother!"
She said, picking up the thermos from the table.
"The water’s out, I’ll go get so hot water."
Gu Lan took the thermos and walked out of the ward, turning around the corridor.
She heard so whispering next to the nurse’s station, where two military wives were chatting.
"Did you hear? That Lin Wan Yi, the wife of Mr. Gu, was kidnapped."
"How could I not know, it caused such a stir. You say she’s a capitalist’s daughter, why is she always in trouble?"
"Who knows, I’ve heard she looks like a vixen, probably offended soone outside."
"Exactly, ever since she ca to our compound, it’s been one thing or another. Either fainting or being kidnapped, really a troublemaker."
"Shh, keep it down, her husband is Mr. Gu."
"So what about Mr. Gu? I say she’s just unlucky, a curse to her husband!"
"Bang!"
The thermos hit the ground heavily, spilling hot water all over.
The two military wives were startled, looking back to see a furious face.
"Comrade Gu Lan..."
Gu Lan walked over step by step, her eyes cold as ice.
"What did you just say?"
"Didn’t... say anything..."
"I heard you."
Gu Lan’s voice was not loud, yet it made them both tremble.
"We... we were just talking nonsense..."
"Talking nonsense?"
Gu Lan took a step closer.
"Do you believe I’ll go tell my brother right now to have your husbands transferred from logistics to the toughest border posts?"
"So you can taste what nine deaths and one life are!"
"No... please don’t!"
One of the military wives went weak in the knees and started crying.
"Comrade Gu Lan, we’re sorry, we won’t dare again!"
"Scram."
Gu Lan said just one word.
The two military wives, as if receiving amnesty, scrambled away.
Wang Xiu’e ca out of the ward and witnessed this scene.
She walked up and patted Gu Lan’s shoulder.
"Well done."
"That’s how to deal with such gossipy won!"
Gu Lan picked up the thermos from the ground.
"Aunt Wang, I’m just outraged that those won talk about my sister-in-law after all she’s been through."
Wang Xiu’e sighed.
"Rest assured, if anyone dares to speak nonsense again, I’ll be the first to tear her mouth off."
The two went back into the ward.
Dean Wu happened to co in with a new report.
His expression was even more surprised than before.
"Dean Wu, is there any other issue with Wanwan’s health?"
Wang Xiu’e’s heart was once again on edge.
Dean Wu shook his head, then nodded, looking at Lin Wan Yi with a peculiar expression.
"It’s not a problem."
He handed an ultrasound report to Gu Yanshen.
"It’s so good, it’s almost abnormal."
Everyone was stunned.
Dean Wu pointed to two small dots on the report.
"Look, these two little ones have a strong, powerful heartbeat and are developing very well."
Adjusting his glasses, his tone was filled with disbelief.
"To exaggerate a bit, they’re more solidly developed than many full-term singleton babies!"
"It’s simply a miracle in dicine!"
"In my decades of practicing dicine, I’ve never seen a case where after such a major trauma, the fetus remains so stable and healthy!"
The ward fell silent.
Wang Xiu’e and Gu Lan stared at Lin Wan Yi’s belly as if looking at a rare treasure.
Only Lin Wan Yi knew.
It was the spiritual spring.
It was the spiritual spring water from the space that protected her children.
At this mont, the Commander also strode in.
In his hand was a telegram, and his face was filled with unconcealed joy.
"Good news!"
He first looked at Lin Wan Yi to make sure she seed alright before continuing.
"The first good news, we’ve received a ssage from Beijing; your father, Lin Guodong, has been safely rescued by our people!"
The burden in Lin Wan Yi’s heart finally lifted.
"Qian Weiguo’s informants within the Lin Family, along with your stepmother Zhou Wenxiu, have all been apprehended! The evidence your father provided is enough to put her behind bars for the rest of her life!"
"That’s great!"
Gu Lan exclaid excitedly.
The Commander smiled, then looked at Gu Yanshen, before turning his serious gaze to Lin Wan Yi.
"The second piece of good news concerns your family."
He cleared his throat and, mimicking another person’s tone, spoke slowly.
"Chief Gu just personally called to convey a ssage to you."
Everyone held their breath.
The Commander looked at Lin Wan Yi and repeated,
He said, "My daughter-in-law has suffered, and after her postpartum recovery, I will personally co to see my grandson!"
