"Guo Fang, you have always been very brave. When you first entered our the Guo Family, I heard that you were burdened with millions in debt, yet our family did not refuse you as a daughter-in-law."
"Your father doesn't want me to say this, but today I must."
"The first time I saw you, I thought to myself, who is this young girl? She is truly lovely. Later, when I saw you caring for me, washing fruits and peeling seeds, I felt that you were a good girl."
"Please stop..."
"Then I learned about your background. This child has endured hardships. How could our Guo Huai fall for someone like you?"
"Please, don't say anymore."
"Child, tell me, Guo Huai is sick now. Have you given up on us?"
"I haven't. I haven't given up on you."
"Then why do you want to sever ties with us?"
"Because I am not worthy of him."
"Worthiness is not for you to decide."
"I..."
"Guo Fang, let's pray for Guo Huai together."
"Pray?"
"We are family; praying together can bring about miracles."
"Alright."
For some reason, I had a premonition that a miracle would indeed happen.
The surgery was very successful.
I rushed outside to buy the wontons that Guo Huai loves the most, hoping that when he woke up from his nap, he would be the first to taste the wontons I personally bought.
When I returned to the hospital room, I saw Chu Lanping standing by Guo Huai's bedside. Guo Huai was already awake. Chu Lanping stood next to him, looking utterly aggrieved.
"Guo Huai, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have treated you that way. I just love you too much," she said.
"You loving me has nothing to do with me," he replied coldly.
"Guo Huai, don't you understand? Dong Guofang doesn't love you at all! If she did, why would she divorce you?"
"Chu Lanping, it’s useless for you to say anything here. Please leave."
"Guo Huai, what do I have to do for you to love me?"
"Miss Chu, no matter what you do, I will never love you."
"Guo Huai, look at this."
Chu Lanping pulled out a photo showing me happily chatting with a male college student. He was clearly from a wealthy family.
"Guo Huai, see? After breaking up with you, Dong Guofang is already with another man."
"Chu Lanping, you are truly despicable."
Just then, I returned to the room and snatched the photo from Chu Lanping's hand.
"What are you doing here?"
"Dong Guofang, why are you back?" she asked, surprised.
"That's what I should be asking you. What are you doing here? You're neither Guo Huai's family nor his friend. What right do you have to come in?"
"I, I am..."
"Who is she?" Guo Huai said coldly.
"I, I..."
"Miss Chu, please leave," he continued.
"You all conspired against me!"
"Miss Chu, please leave. The patient needs rest, and loud noises are prohibited in the ward."
"You all wait for me!"
I sat down next to Guo Huai and teased him. "What's wrong? Not calling her Miss Chu anymore?"
"When did I ever call her Miss Chu?"
"Guo Huai, are you playing amnesiac?"
"I don't know her."
"Then what's with the lipstick stain on your shirt and the scent of perfume?"
Guo Huai smiled mysteriously and leaned closer, as if he had something to say.
I leaned in, but Guo Huai kissed my cheek instead.
"Guo Huai, you..."
"Guo Fang, you're blushing."
"Don't change the subject; answer my question."
"Why should I answer your question?"
"Guo Huai, if you keep this up, I'm leaving."
"Alright, alright. Let me show you something."
