Six o’clock.
Gu Tong, who had just rested for three hours, finally got up from the bed. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her whole being still in a semi-conscious state-----
But given the special circumstances, she couldn’t continue to laze in bed. After thinking about it, she hurriedly got up and started washing up.
Fortunately, the facilities at the Provincial Hospital were excellent, with a full range of supplies and even a private bathroom, which solved many problems.
Gu Tong poured a basin of water to quickly wash her face. As she picked up a towel to wipe away the excess drops, a rapid knock resounded on the door-----
She furrowed her brow slightly!
But she didn’t say much, rather she walked leisurely to the door and opened it!
The door opened, revealing a familiar face that made Gu Tong sowhat surprised.
"Why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than Yan Xiaolan, who had co with them from the Academy earlier.
At this mont, she stood particularly dejectedly at the doorway, looking down and out with traces of sadness hidden on her face...
"I wanted to talk to you..." Yan Xiaolan bit her lower lip, speaking softly, "You must be very busy..."
"It’s alright, co in!"
Even if Gu Tong was busy, she wouldn’t lack a bit of ti, not to ntion, she had many questions she wanted to ask Yan Xiaolan, mostly about her relationship with Qiu Xue.
She stepped aside, inviting Yan Xiaolan into the room, and after signaling her to sit, she poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the table.
"Are you resting well lately?"
Previously, Yan Xiaolan pretended to be mad and silly to follow them to the hospital due to special reasons.
Moreover, it was mainly to avoid sothing dangerous of unknown origin!
"I haven’t rested this well in a long ti..."
Yan Xiaolan picked up the cup of hot water and took a sip, feeling the warmth in her throat spread through her body, making her feel noticeably comfortable.
"Resting well is good!"
Gu Tong replied calmly, then said, "Now, can you tell what exactly are you hiding from?"
She went straight to the point, without any hint of politeness.
And moreover, felt it was unnecessary!
Because, in so sense now, Yan Xiaolan had turned to Gu Tong, and they were in the sa boat.
So -----
A mutual heart-to-heart was inevitable!
"You want to ask why I helped you harm Qiu Xue?"
Yan Xiaolan was fully aware of this matter; Gu Tong was perhaps a normal human being!
After all, at the beginning, she stood on Qiu Xue’s side, but in a critical mont, she suddenly switched sides.
She beca the main culprit wanting to kill Qiu Xue!
Yet, even so, Yan Xiaolan had no regrets.
Thinking of Qiu Xue’s current downfall left her heart filled with nothing but satisfaction!
"I guess so!"
Gu Tong’s answer was ambiguous.
"I have always lived in the Academy Courtyard, and everyone knows as the baroness Yan Xiaolan, but no one truly knows my husband..."
Yan Xiaolan drank another sip of hot water, yet the initial warmth was gone, replaced by more coldness, "But there are always those inford, they know my husband was crippled due to a work injury and is still recuperating in the Academy Hospital."
"So even curse , calling a bad wife, heartless and lazy, unwilling to care for my husband, indulging in the Academy Courtyard’s life, continuing to stay there as the baroness... But... who knows how much pain is in my heart, do you know, my husband was not crippled by a work injury, but was hard by soone..."
