Chapter 637 That Rose
The cold, incandescent lights shone down in the hospital corridor, and the smell of disinfectant permeated every nook and cranny.
Following the address given by Fan Qianqian, Ge Jing stumbled and ran in.
A large scarf and mask covered most of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.
Even though it was wrapped up so tightly.
The skin around Ge Jing's forehead still couldn't be completely concealed.
The uneven burn scars were faintly visible, looking shocking.
Fan Qianqian was originally waiting in front of the emergency room.
Hearing footsteps, I instinctively looked up.
For a moment, he didn't even recognize that the woman right in front of him was Ge Jing.
It wasn't until they met each other's eyes that Fan Qianqian opened her mouth in surprise.
Is this really her?
Dressed in black, white, and gray, with messy hair.
He wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling, looking timid and hesitant.
The former brightness and liveliness have now been replaced by exhaustion and fear.
"My mom... how is my mom?"
Ge Jing ignored Fan Qianqian's probing gaze.
Her voice trembled with a sob, and her face was full of anxiety.
Fan Qianqian came to her senses.
Looking at the flustered Ge Jing, I suddenly recalled the scene when Ge Jing and I were standing on opposite sides.
When they first joined forces with Gu Sili and his group, weren't they quite full of vigor and ambition?
How did things end up like this?
Fan Qianqian said sharply, "Oh, I thought it was someone else. It's Researcher Ge. Didn't you join Yun Ning's lab and vow to be a good person? What's wrong with you now?"
Ge Jing was stunned. Her already wounded heart was now twisted with pain: "Fan Qianqian, I am grateful to you for saving my mother, but that is no reason for you to trample on my self-respect!"
"Self-respect? You still have self-respect? Look at yourself, what kind of person have you become!"
Fan Qianqian crossed her arms, circled Ge Jing, and mocked, "Look at your mother, you've completely ruined her. She's so depressed that she wanted to end her life with sleeping pills! And you, you're just wallowing in your own pain, not caring about anything else. A selfish person like you, do you even have the right to talk about self-respect?"
"Why can't I have self-respect? Just because I'm neither human nor ghost right now, does that mean I can't have self-respect?"
Since her disfigurement, Ge Jing has been like a fragile glass, living in constant fear and trembling.
Now, being so bluntly mocked by Fan Qianqian, he instantly broke down.
The grievances, pain, and fear that had been building up for months finally burst forth at this moment.
She ripped off her mask, revealing a face covered in hideous scars, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "What right do you have to judge me?! Fan Qianqian, do you know what I've been through? That fire! It ruined my face, my career, everything! Why can't I even have pain? Why do I have to constantly pay attention to others and care about others? Who cares about me? Do you think I don't want to end my own life?"
"..."
Large, deep scars came into Fan Qianqian's view.
Even though she had seen many wounds, she was still startled by Ge Jing's appearance.
Her mood is very complicated.
I used to really dislike Ge Jing.
But the crime doesn't warrant this.
Fan Qianqian took a deep breath, reminding herself that now was the best time to get Ge Jing to switch sides.
We must seize this opportunity!
Suppressing her pity, she continued to provoke Ge Jing: "You deserve it! Who told you to be so blinded by greed and stand on Gu Sili's side? You chose the wrong path, so you should bear the consequences! Now, you're acting like a coward, venting all your negative emotions on your mother, making her suffer twice as much pain for you! Ge Jing, you're the one who's a vengeful ghost clinging to your mother!"
"Changgui..."
Ge Jing murmured the two words repeatedly, her body trembling violently.
Her last line of psychological defense was completely shattered.
Correct!
She's a vengeful spirit!
She failed to protect herself, and even more so, she failed to take good care of her mother!
She's a burden to everyone!
Ge Jing could no longer hold on and slid down the cold wall to the ground, bursting into tears.
The cries, filled with despair, injustice, and helplessness, echoed mournfully in the empty corridor.
Just then, the door to the emergency room opened with a "whoosh".
The doctor removed his mask, a hint of relief on his face after his exhaustion: "The patient has been saved, and his vital signs are temporarily stable."
The crying stopped suddenly.
Both Ge Jing, who was on the ground, and Fan Qianqian, who was standing, were startled at the same time.
Ignoring their earlier heated argument, the two rushed to the emergency room without prior arrangement.
……
Inside the villa halfway up the mountain.
The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft golden glow over the living room.
Dressed in her pajamas, Yun Ning bent down and carefully added water to the red roses in the crystal vase.
That rose is in full bloom.
The velvety petals were still covered with glistening dewdrops, each petal unfolded perfectly.
The rich red is like solidified deep affection.
These flowers were given to An'an by her son at her birthday party.
Even now, Yun Ning still remembers the scene clearly.
The little girl knelt on one knee, her eyes sparkling as she handed her the rose: "An'an's birthday is Mommy's day of suffering. Mommy, you've worked so hard. I hope Mommy will always be as beautiful as a rose."
Whenever she thinks of this, Yun Ning's heart melts.
They also cherished this rose immensely.
Just as she was engrossed in watching, a warm and firm chest pressed against her back.
The familiar, crisp scent instantly enveloped the woman.
Gu Sili wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, rested his chin gently on the crook of her neck, and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at so intently?"
Yun Ning leaned against him, relaxed, and nuzzled her cheek against him, a gentle smile spreading across her lips: "I was looking at the roses An An gave me, they're so beautiful."
Gu Sili chuckled softly, his warm lips lightly brushing against her sensitive earlobe, his voice even lower: "The flowers are beautiful. But you should still remember An'an's birthday wish, right? He said he wanted a little sister..."
The man tightened his arms, holding Yun Ning even closer in his embrace. "Wife, let's help him fulfill his wish as soon as possible, okay?"
Yun Ning's cheeks flushed instantly, as if the rose in her hand had stained them with color.
She nudged him gently with her elbow, her voice barely audible, "You...you shouldn't move..."
Just then, Gu Wei led An An out of the children's room.
The little baby was wearing adorable overalls and carrying a small backpack. A tuft of soft hair stuck up, making him look like a delicate little doll.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm taking An'an to kindergarten!"
Gu Wei greeted him cheerfully.
Following behind her uncle, An'an waved cutely to her parents, saying, "Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"
However, for some reason...
An An suddenly felt as if her head had been gently pricked by a fine needle.
A sharp, stinging pain came for a moment, then vanished without a trace.
It happened so fast that he was somewhat bewildered.
A hint of confusion flickered in those large eyes that resembled Gu Sili's.
