Reborn Girl's New Life Chapter 588 - Protect the Children

Chapter 588 Protect the Children

Song Yunxuan didn’t buy it at all. Zang Linger wasn’t here to catch up with her.

She had a feeling that Zang Linger was up for something else, something way more important than that.

But what was it? Zang Linger didn’t raise the subject. Song Yunxuan couldn’t just ask it.

It was better not to talk about it.

Song Yunxuan rubbed her forehead and turned to Zang Linger, “I’m tired. I’m going to get some sleep. You can look around yourself.”

Zang Linger nodded, “Fine. That’s how you show hospitality to your guest, telling them to look around by themselves.”

Song Yunxuan smiled. She didn’t answer and went upstairs.

She felt that Gu Changle would wake up in a few hours.

She just couldn’t imagine what Gu Changle would look like when she woke up.

Song Yunxuan was surprised that she actually wanted to see that, to see how her ill sister would go crazy while growing weaker and weaker.

As Song Yunxuan had expected, Gu Changle woke up at noon.

Shao Tianze saw her awake at the bed. He leaned forward to touch her cheek, calling her gently, “Changle?”

Gu Changle’s eyes widened, but she still looked numb.

She looked at Shao Tianze for a while, and then she blinked, “Tianze.”

Shao Tianze nodded heavily. Then he called the nurse to find a doctor for Gu Changle.

The nurse rushed to find a doctor for them.

Gu Changle realized that Shao Tianze had been with her all the time. She blinked and said, “Have you been here for me this whole time?”

Shao Tianze nodded, “Yes.”

They had been with each other for a long time. At the very least, Gu Changle was with him much longer than Gu Changge.

Soon after Gu Changge’s death, Song Yunjia was also gone.

People who knew how Gu Changge died left Yuncheng one after another. Some of them were dead, too.

Fewer people knew this secret. Shao Tianze did not know why he had this feeling. When he saw Gu Changle lying in bed with a pale face, he had a bad feeling as if he had seen his own death.

He had been there for Gu Changle all the time precisely because of such an illusion.

The first thing Gu Changle saw was him.

Gu Changle was pleased. She pursed her lips and said, “You are here for me all the time. I have no regrets even I die now.”

Shao Tianze set his face against her immediately. He frowned and said, “What are you talking about? You won’t die.”

Gu Changle lowered her eyes with sadness and said, “I can feel it, even though you didn’t say anything. I’m growing weak. I’m afraid I won’t be able to live long even I have the surgery. Tianze, if someday I am gone, then…”

Gu Changle tended to say more, but Shao Tianze interrupted her and frowned, “Don’t talk nonsense. You’ll be with me till the end. We only have each other in this world, do we?”

Shao Tianze rarely said such sweet things.

Once he had done it, he was glamorous and no women could resist his charm.

Gu Changle stared at him obsessively. She was in a secret smug satisfaction.

She had lived all her life in the shadow of Gu Changge, but what did that matter?

Gu Changge was dead, and everything she had belonged to Shao Tianze and Gu Changle.

Not to mention that now Shao Tianze only had eyes for Gu Changle.

She had lived, Gu Changle thought. She could die without regret because she won Gu Changge.

It was enough for her as long as she won Gu Changge.

Gu Changle pursed her lips and tended to continue that topic.

At this moment, Tan Yi, following a nurse, opened the door and walked inside the ward.

The nurse led Tan Yi to the bed while talking, “Miss Gu has just woken up. Doctor Tan, you should take a look.”

Tan Yi nodded and came to the bed.

Shao Tianze saw the doctor come and took a step back for his convenience.

Tan Yi examined her using a stethoscope. Shao Tianze watched them nearby.

When Tan Yi was done, Shao Tianze asked him and frowned, “How is she?”

Tan Yi looked calm, “Not good.”

Shao Tianze trusted him because he was an expert in cardiology and he was familiar with every aspect of Gu Changle’s case.

Tan Yi was telling the truth. Gu Changle was pale. She was getting worse recently.

Shao Tianze started to worry, “She’s got the surgery done.”

Tan Yi understood that he referred to the surgery that took Gu Changge’s life away.

“She has. But her body has been relying on anti-rejection drugs. That heart is not as stable as it is expected.”

Shao Tianze bit his lips.

Gu Changle narrowed her eyes and could not help cursing Gu Changge silently when she heard that.

Gu Changge was dead. Gu Changle owned her heart.

But that heart refused to serve her.

No matter where the heart came from, it was beating in her chest, so it was her heart.

What was the point of being a rebel?

“Will it threaten her life?”

Shao Tianze asked Tan Yi.

Tan Yi looked at Shao Tianze and pondered for a moment, “It depends on her condition.”

Hearing Tan Yi, Shao Tianze frowned.

“What if she can’t handle it?”

Although he put all his hope in that she could survive by herself, he had to prepare for the worst. If she couldn’t handle it, he needed a plan to save her in advance.

Tan Yi pursed her lips and said to Shao Tianze, “You may want to do it again, like last time you saved her.”

Shao Tianze knew that might be the only chance to save her life.

But it was not easy to conduct it one more time.

Because Gu Changge had only one heart.

She was dead. There was no other available heart for Gu Changle.

Shao Tianze was silent.

Listening to them, Gu Changle knew that she also had to prepare for the worst.

She pursed her lips, “Doctor Tan, will you give us a moment?”

Tan Yi was done with everything that he needed to say.

Hearing Gu Changle, he nodded, “Sure. I’ll be out.”

He knew that Gu Changle wanted him out by saying this.

Tan Yi didn’t mean to stay. He left after he was done talking to Shao Tianze.

Not until Tan Yi was out of her sight did Gu Changle purse her lips and say to Shao Tianze, “Is what he said true?”

Shao Tianze looked at her and answered, “I hope it’s not.”

But Tan Yi had no reason to lie.

Gu Changle frowned and placed her hand on her chest where Gu Changge’s heart was beating, “I can’t believe that her heart can only work less than a year.”

Shao Tianze did not reply. Gu Changle looked at Shao Tianze and continued, “What do you think? Other people who have the same surgery can live for a few more decades as if they had got a new lease on life. Why can I only live for a year?”

Seeing Gu Changle became excited, Shao Tianze comforted her, “Changle, if you need another heart, I will help you. Calm down.”

Gu Changle reflected fast, and then she looked at Shao Tianze and said, “Another heart? Where can you get it for me? From Miaomiao, or Gu Yi?”

Shao Tianze changed his face immediately. He frowned, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

Gu Changle grabbed Shao Tianze’s hand and looked up at him, “Believe it or not, Gu Yi overheard our conversation that day. He’s already known that we killed his mom. You need to do something about…”

“Changle, calm down.”

Shao Tianze put the other hand on Gu Changle’s hand, looking at her, “You know it. Miaomiao and Gu Yi are my children. They are my daughter and son. I can’t hurt them.”

Gu Changle got emotional as soon as she heard him, “Yeah, yeah, you can’t. Have you ever thought that if Gu Yi knew those things and he talked, we’d be doomed?”

“He didn’t know it. You can’t a.s.sume that.”

Shao Tianze tried to persuade her.

But Gu Changle refused to listen. She frowned and said, “You haven’t thought about where this would be headed at all. You’re their father, but Gu Changge was their mother. You have made such a mistake. Even now they aren’t against you, what will happen in the future? When they grow up and are out of your power, they will be our enemies.”

Gu Changle was being hysterical.

However, Shao Tianze let her words wash over him. He tried to console her, “It’s not as bad as you think. I won’t let Yi and Miaomiao inherit the Shao’s. After they grow up, I won’t let them be with us. So you’re worrying about things that will never happen.”

Seeing he protected his children, Gu Changle snapped with resentment, “Shao Tianze, are you the one who keeps lying to yourself, or am I the one?”

After saying that, Gu Changle got out of bed.

Seeing this, Shao Tianze tried to stop her, “You’re still sick. What are you doing out of bed?”
