Chapter 251 - 251: Mr Gu Abused Lu Miao
Although Lu Miao had insisted she was fine earlier, Gu Shiyan was still worried and took her directly to the hospital.
Just as he was about to lay her down on the hospital bed, he noticed that Lu Miao was tightly clutching his clothes.
Gu Shiyan’s gaze softened, and he gently held her hand, feeling her grip tighten on his clothes in the next second.
Sensing her response. Gu Shivan finally felt a bit relieved.
After the doctor examined her and studied the results for a while, he looked at Lu Miao’s slightly worn-out robe and then glared at Gu Shiyan with an accusing expression. “Based on the examination data, the patient’s body is extremely weak, and there are signs of excessive physical exertion. Look at her complexion, as pale as paper, and her hands and feet are freezing. These are all signs of physical weakness. At her age, she’s in a critical stage of growth and needs proper nutrition. She absolutely must not overexert herself, as it will affect her physical development.”
As the doctor spoke, he gave Gu Shiyan a scrutinizing look and said meaningfully, “A daughter is her parents’ little treasure. Holding the bias of favoring boys over girls is unacceptable. Children can wear simple clothes, but mistreating them is against the law.”
Gu Shiyan’s forehead throbbed. Favoring boys over girls? Mistreating children? What on earth was this guy talking about?
Was he that old?
Did they even look like a father and daughter?
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words through his teeth, ‘We’re not father and daughter.”
Gu Shiyan rarely appeared in public media, and not many people recognized him by face. The doctor didn’t know him at all, so upon hearing his response and seeing his well-dressed appearance, he immediately jumped to another conclusion.
If they weren’t father and daughter, then he must be keeping her!
The doctor’s eyes looked even more disdainful at Gu Shiyan. “Regardless of your relationship, it’s no excuse for mistreatment. If you continue like this, next time she might not just faint!”
Gu Shiyan rubbed his forehead. It was the first time in his life that he experienced the feeling of being unable to argue back.
He estimated that the doctor wouldn’t believe anything he said unless Lu Miao woke up and explained herself.
Helplessly, he replied, “Understood.”
Ha, wasn’t that just an acknowledgment?
The doctor was now even more certain and warned, “I will come to check on her regularly.”
He acted as if he would send Gu Shiyan straight to the police station if he caught him secretly abusing Lu Miao.
Gu Shiyan’s forehead was covered in black lines. He endured and endured, finally sending the doctor away.
As he watched the door close in front of him, he looked around and thought about pulling a chair over to sit, but Lu Miao held onto his hand tightly, and the chair was too far for his other hand to reach.
He could only sit at the edge of the hospital bed.
While in a daze, Lu Miao seemed to be attracted by something. As soon as Gu Shiyan sat down, her body unconsciously turned towards him.
Gu Shiyan raised an eyebrow slightly and deliberately moved to the side.
Lu Miao’s beautiful brows furrowed, and she followed him to the side.
Gu Shiyan moved to the other side again.
At this moment, in her slumber, Lu Miao felt as if there was a huge warm stove beside her. Warm currents continuously flowed from the stove, making her whole body feel like it was immersed in a warm spring, comfortable and cozy.
Just as she enjoyed the feeling, the warm stove suddenly moved away, and she quickly followed it and snuggled up again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she settled down on one side, the rebellious warm stove moved to the other side.
In anger, Lu Miao used hand seals to cast an immobility spell and threw it at the warm stove. Then she reached out and hugged it, pressing herself against it comfortably.
Gu Shiyan wasn’t frozen by her random hand seals in her dream, but seeing the child clinging tightly to him and snuggling against him, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he stopped moving.
From the first time he met Lu Miao, she had always been aloof and indifferent. Despite her small and thin frame, she seemed to carry boundless strength and never feared anything, even if the sky were to fall.
This was the first time he had seen her display such a dependent posture. Even though it was unconscious in her sleep, it still brought joy to his heart.
He leaned slightly against the head of the bed, adjusted his position, and made her more comfortable.
When Lu Miao woke up, she felt as if she had soaked in a spiritual spring all night.
Not only did the fatigue and pain from overdrawing her body disappear, but her whole body also felt light, as if the primordial force was flowing vigorously through her body like a stream.
Earth was now in the last era, and spiritual energy was scarce, making it extremely difficult to cultivate primordial force.
Since she arrived in this world, she had been troubled by the lack of primordial force.
Unexpectedly, after absorbing the purple energy from Gu Shiyan last night, there was such a special effect.
Wait, Gu Shiyan?
Lu Miao suddenly opened her eyes and saw Gu Shiyan sitting beside her. At this moment, she had her hands and feet wrapped around him like an octopus.
Seeing her wake up, Gu Shiyan raised an eyebrow and asked in a low and hoarse voice, “Did you sleep well?”
Lu Miao returned to her senses and quicldy released her grip and moved away from him.
But she didn’t realize that they were in a hospital. The hospital bed was narrow, and her body retreated until she was hanging over the edge of the bed, almost falling to the ground.
Gu Shiyan acted quickly and reached out to pull her back.
With great inertia, Lu Miao fell into his arms.
Gu Shiyan’s strong purple energy almost enveloped her completely, and every pore on Lu Miao’s body seemed to be shouting, “Get closer to him, get closer to him.”
Without the interference of evil curses and formations, his embrace felt warm and comforting. The powerful sound of his heartbeat entered her ears through his sturdy chest.
“Why are you running away? I’m not going to eat you,” Gu Shiyan’s chest trembled slightly, and he chuckled.
Lu Miao’s ears inexplicably turned slightly red, and she was about to get up.
The door of the ward creaked open, and the doctor from last night walked in. Lu Miao quickly pushed Gu Shiyan away, and Gu Shiyan, caught off guard, was pushed off the bed.
The doctor saw the scene and thought Gu Shiyan was bullying Lu Miao, and she was resisting.
He immediately stepped forward, stood between the two, and glared at Gu Shiyan with righteous indignation. “You just woke up, and he’s already bullying you. How dare he claim he’s not mistreating you?”
Gu Shiyan:…
The doctor gave him a fierce look, then turned to Lu Miao on the bed and whispered, “Don’t be afraid. This is a hospital. He won’t dare to do anything. If he really mistreats you, I can help you call the police and be a witness, so that the police can arrest this devil..”o
