BXBX NOVEL Chapter 607: Really My Mother
Song Ling recalled the indifferent look on Gu Dai’s face as she glanced at him, his expression darkening to an unsightly degree as an unceasing chill emanated from him.
The shrill ring of a cell phone shattered the silence within the villa.
Staring at the unfamiliar number, Song Ling hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.
A deep male voice reached his ear, “President Song, if you fancy Gu Dai, you should act swiftly. If you delay any further, Su Ting will completely snatch her away, and you will never have the chance to be together in this lifetime.”
A dark glint flashed in Song Ling’s eyes as he asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who lam,” the voice replied, “just know that if you help me with a favor and cooperate with my plan, I can take care of Su Ting for you, ensuring he vanishes from this world, and you will have your chance with Gu Dai.”
Song Ling’s hand tightened around the phone.
The voice came again, “The task I need your help with is simple for you, and I can also take care of Su Ting, whom you despise, so there’s absolutely no reason to hesitate.”
Song Ling’s heart stirred.
If Su Ting were dealt with, then the biggest obstacle to his pursuit of Gu Dai would be removed, and he could take advantage of her vulnerability to forever win her heart.
“I won’t rush you,” the voice added, “whenever you make your decision, you can call me.”
“Send me the address,” Song Ling said.
The man chuckled twice, admiringly remarking, “I didn’t expect President Song to decide so quickly without any hesitation. You’re indeed decisive!”
At the hospital.
Gu Dai looked towards Fu Jing, who had just returned, and spoke softly, “Fu Chuan has awakened.”
Fu Jing’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “Miss Gu, thank you. If it weren’t for you, my son…”
Gu Dai gently shook her head, “It’s nothing. You should go see Fu Chuan in his room.”
Fu Jing hesitated and asked anxiously, “Will Fu Chuan accept me?”
Gu Dai couldn’t provide a definite answer.
Realizing how foolish her question was, Fu Jing took a deep breath and said, “I’m going in.”
Gu Dai nodded gently and watched as Fu Jing entered the room. She then turned to Su Ting to inquire, “How is he doing?”
Understanding that Gu Dai was asking about Fu Chuan’s friend from the orphanage, Su Ting recalled what his subordinate had just reported and replied softly, “He’s still alive.”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding.
It was hard enough for Fu Jing to find his son, let alone see him treated this way. Although they wouldn’t kill him, a bit of torment was inevitable.
As Gu Dai and Su Ting walked into the hospital room, they saw Fu Jing with tearful eyes standing aside, while Fu Chuan sat on the hospital bed, his face pale and his eyes guarded.
Seeing Gu Dai, Fu Chuan eagerly asked, “Miss Gu, is she really my mother?”
Gu Dai nodded affirmatively, “Yes, she is your mother.”
Fu Chuan’s pupils dilated in shock, “You’re really my mom?”
Fu Jing nodded vigorously, “Yes, I am your mother.”
As Fu Chuan studied Fu Jing’s face, noting their resemblance, he lowered his eyes, his voice choking up as he asked, “I’ve been in the orphanage as long as I remember. Why haven’t you looked for me all these years?”
As his words trailed off, his voice grew louder and his eyes reddened.
Fu Jing tried to wipe her tears but eventually withdrew her hand, her voice weak, “Fu Chuan, there were complications.”
Fu Chuan nodded, “I’ll listen to your explanation. I want to know your reasons.”
Fu Jing pursed her lips, struggling to find the words to explain her years of absence, her eyes pleadingly seeking help from Gu Dai.
Receiving Fu Jing’s look, Gu Dai sighed softly and began to describe the whole situation simply.
Fu Chuan wouldn’t doubt the sincerity in Gu Dai’s words. His eyes welled with tears as he tentatively called out, “Mom?”
Fu Jing’s pupils widened, and she quickly responded, “Yes! Fu Chuan, are you willing to accept me?”
After saying this, she hurriedly added, “I know I haven’t shown much care over the years, and I owe you a lot, so even if you can’t forgive me, I will understand..”
