The next morning, Yao Wan woke up to find Gu Nanchen asleep in front of her bed.

On his forehead was a wet towel that he had placed for her.

She felt the temperature of the towel. It seemed that he had just changed it.

Then what was he doing?

Had he been here all night?

Yao Wan found it hard to believe.

She was confused by Gu Nanchen. He was the one who wanted revenge, the one who tortured her, but he was the one who distracted her mother and took care of her when she was sick.

What could he do to let her go?

Yao Wan got off the bed and took her temperature with the thermostat. Her fever had subsided.

It was probably because she had been keeping her body temperature down all night.

Although Gu Nanchen was the one who had forced her father to his death, Yao Wan still knew how to differentiate between kindness and hatred.

Seeing that he was taking care of her, Yao Wan went downstairs. Before the maid arrived, she wanted to cook some porridge and a few side dishes for him.

It could be considered as a report of his night.

Hearing the noise, Gu Nanchen rubbed his sleepy eyes and came downstairs.

Seeing Yao Wan busy herself in the kitchen, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Your fever has just subsided. Why are you in the kitchen?"

Yao Wan was shocked by him. The egg in her hand fell into the oil pot, splashing hot oil all over her hand.

"Ah!" Yao Wan screamed in pain as her fingers were scalded.

Gu Nanchen hurried over, grabbed her small hand, and shouted, "From now on, you are not allowed to enter the kitchen without my orders! You are not allowed to do any housework!"

"I just want to make you breakfast..."

"That won't do either!" Gu Nanchen held Yao Wan's hand and kept pouring water into it. Fortunately, it was not too hot.

It was just that the blisters were very painful. Gu Nanchen took out his silver needles and prepared to help her remove the blisters.

Yao Wan was so scared that her entire body trembled.

Her eyes were tightly shut, and she bit her lips tightly.

"I've never seen you look like this when I slept with you."

"How can this be the same! It hurts to soak in water."

Taking advantage of Yao Wan's inattentiveness, Gu Nanchen pricked her with a needle. In an instant, the bubble burst, and Yao Wan groaned in pain.

"Don't make such a loud noise. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it in..."

Yao Wan was in so much pain that she was on the verge of tears. How could Gu Nanchen say such a thing at such a time?

And he even said that he wasn't a beast!

After the blisters burst, he used the ointment to carefully apply the medicine to Yao Wan.

Although Gu Nanchen had yelled at her, Yao Wan couldn't help but be taken aback by the intensity with which he was applying the medicine to her.

She couldn't help but admit that Gu Nanchen's face was even more exquisite than that of some of the celebrity models.

He had a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and thin lips. The dark circles under his eyes made him look lazy and friendly.

Compared to his usual suit and leather shoes, he was more handsome now.

His phone rang at an inappropriate time.

Gu Nanchen looked at his phone and went to the kitchen to answer it.

What phone call was so mysterious?

He had to hide it from her to answer it?

Not long after, Gu Nanchen hung up the phone and took his coat, preparing to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Gu Nanchen looked at Yao Wan hesitantly. "I'm going to take care of some things at the company. When the nanny comes, I'll ask them to make you some porridge. Take a good rest. I don't want to see you sick again when I come back."

Yao Wan nodded obediently.

She seemed to have gotten used to being ordered around by Gu Nanchen.

Late at night.

Gu Nanchen still hadn't returned home.

After a day of rest, Yao Wan's body had almost fully recovered.

Within an hour, she had checked her phone ten times.

There was no phone call, no message.

It was almost midnight. If Gu Nanchen didn't come back soon, she couldn't help but call him.

Instead of waiting for a call from Gu Nanchen, the hospital called her.

Yao Wan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the number of the hospital.

"Hello?"

"Yao Wan, I'm in your mother's ward right now, and you're trying to steal my man. I'm telling you, you won't have a good ending if you offend me, Liang Luoyan!"

It was Liang Luoyan's voice on the phone!

This crazy woman!

She actually ran to her mother's ward?!

She was just in time. What was Liang Luoyan trying to do?!

"Liang Luoyan, don't bring trouble to your family. This is a grudge between you and me. Don't touch my mother!"

"You think I won't touch you just because you said so? Isn't Gu Nanchen your darling? Then I'll torture your most precious person. Only then will it be fair!"

With that, Liang Luoyan hung up the phone.

Yao Wan put on her coat and left Gu Nanchen's villa, rushing all the way to the hospital.

Nothing must happen! Nothing must happen!

By the time Yao Wan arrived at the hospital, Xu Yishu was already gone.

Her illness was so serious that she couldn't afford to be tortured.

Yao Wan hurriedly called Liang Luoyan.

"Where are you? Where did you take my mother?"

"Hehe, if you want to take her back, then get out of Bin City. Get out of my life with Gu Nanchen!"

"Liang Luoyan, even if I leave, you won't be in Gu Nanchen's heart! Don't you understand?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If he really loved you, there wouldn't be me, and no one would be able to replace you so easily!"

Yao Wan wanted Liang Luoyan to recognize the truth.

However, she didn't expect that these words would completely enrage her.

"Alright! Even at this point, you're still stubborn! If you don't want to scram, I'll send your mother to see your father!" Liang Luoyan hung up the phone again.

This time, Yao Wan was completely flustered!

Why did she say those words just now?

Now that Liang Luoyan was enraged, she would never tell her mother where she was!

Yao Wan hurriedly called Gu Nanchen, but he didn't answer for a long time.

Yao Wan had no choice but to call his assistant, who said that Gu Nanchen had left the company a long time ago.

If he didn't answer the phone, no one would be able to find him.

Thinking about her mother's life and death, Yao Wan had no choice but to call the police.

After the police's investigation, they found that Xu Yishu was still in the hospital at night. It was less than an hour before Yao Wan arrived.

The closed-circuit television in the hospital showed that Xu Yishu had not been discharged from the hospital. That meant that she was most likely still in the hospital.

Yao Wan followed the police to search the wards one by one, but she couldn't find her anywhere in the hospital.

Just as Yao Wan was about to break down, a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

"Nanchen... why are you here?"

Tears streaming down her face, Yao Wan looked up at the cold man in front of her and threw herself into Gu Nanchen's arms.

"Liang Luoyan kidnapped my mother. I can't find her anywhere. What should I do? I have already lost my father. I can't lose my mother again."

Gu Nanchen looked at Yao Wan expressionlessly. "Who told you to run away?"

"Liang Luoyan just called me... So..."

"Didn't I tell you not to go out? If the sky falls, I'll be here. Will you be able to solve the problem?"

Gu Nanchen's cold expression made Yao Wan's entire body tremble in fear. She choked up a few times before looking at him with a wronged expression.

"But my mother..."

"I've already found her. Come home with me." Gu Nanchen grabbed Yao Wan's hand and left the hospital.

Seeing this, the two policemen had no choice but to leave.

When they got home, Yao Wan saw her mother sleeping soundly in the second bedroom.

She covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that her crying would wake her up.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Yao Wan hurriedly left the bedroom and went to the living room.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong today. I shouldn't have run out on my own, but you didn't pick up my phone when I called you. I had no choice but to do this." Yao Wan tried her best not to anger him.

Even though she knew that he was already very angry.

However, Gu Nanchen clapped his hands, and a bodyguard dragged Liang Luoyan out of the small room where the nanny used to live...
