Chapter 55: Deformed

If she continued to stand up for Yan Yunge, it would have made Li Lihua’s blood boil again. Lu An’an had no choice but to gulp down the words.

“Mom, health comes first, okay?” she said gently, “It’s hard for me to explain everything all at once, but I promise I’ll clear things up once you discharge from the hospital.”

Li Lihua thought that she would continue to defend her husband, but she didn’t expect the sudden change in her tone. Although Lu An’an lied to her about her marriage, it was all because she needed money for her hospital bills at the end of the day.

Li Lihua took a good look at her loving daughter. Lu An’an had sacrificed so much for her. If she continued to push her further for an explanation, she would be letting Lu An’an down as a mother.

“Okay.” Li Lihua nodded in agreement, her eyes full of adoration. “I know this is all because of me. I shouldn’t have forced you.”

Lu An’an hugged Li Lihua, and she couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

“I believe things will work out. But still, you shouldn’t be putting yourself in an uncomfortable position,” Li Lihua whispered in her ear, her voice soothing.

Lu An’an remained silent, but an inner warmth rose within her.

Both of them left the topic behind them and started talking about life. From the way she spoke, Li Lihua could tell that Lu An’an seemed to be living a much better life after getting married.

Lu An’an was thrilled to see her mother today. Since Yan Yunge would be babysitting Yan Yinlan, she asked if she could stay the night at her mother’s instead. After Yan Yunge agreed, she went to bed at Li Lihua’s ward.

The next day, Lu An’an saw Yan Yunge’s text from midnight. He had to leave the hospital for work, and he had left Yan Yinlan in a nurse’s care.

A little guilt crept in. Lu An’an told Li Lihua goodbye and went back to Yan Yinlan’s ward. She was still the kiddo’s mother on paper, and he was her responsibility.

Yan Yinlan was excited to see Lu An’an here. Immediately, he had her read a picture book together. It was only then the guilt within her faded, and she broke into a smile when she saw he was back to his healthy self.

On the contrary, Yan Xiu was feeling gloom. He was so engrossed in how Yan Yunge had just gotten the position of president, completely forgetting about Gu Anning. When the man he had sent to the hospital called, only did he realize he had accidentally hurt someone.

Although Gu Anning had failed to seduce Yan Yunge, it was undeniable that she tried to cheat on him. Hence, Yan Xiu wanted nothing to do with that woman. But afraid of affecting his reputation, he still packed things up and came to the hospital to see Gu Anning. At the door, he heard her screaming.

“What did you say?” Gu Anning frowned. “How could my face be deformed? You’re all quacks!”

Yan Xiu walked into the room only to find Gu Anning yelling at the doctor.

The doctor turned to him and briefed him about the situation. “Ms. Gu is no longer in a critical condition, but the cut is too deep, and it’s safe to say that her face would be deformed.”

Yan Xiu’s eyes widened. Not wanting to stay any longer, the doctor left.

Gu Anning had almost recovered, and she shrieked at the top of her lungs, “My face. It can’t be true. It’s not over yet!”

Yan Xiu watched quietly at her side, not knowing what to say.

With a gauze wrapped around Gu Anning’s head, it looked abnormal. She was now without her fancy clothes and jewelry, and they had shaved off a section of her hair. She didn’t look like her usual self at all.
