Gu Monian paced anxiously outside the hospital room.
Gu Shiyan had been inside for over an hour, yet there was still no sign of him coming out.
Several times, Gu Monian wanted to push the door open, but the words of Gu Qinnian rang in his ears: Gu Shiyan had repeatedly instructed that no one was allowed to enter until he came out.
For the umpteenth time, Gu Monian glanced at his watch. Just as he lowered his head, the door suddenly opened.
Gu Monian hurried forward. "How is it?"
Gu Shiyan's face was ghastly pale. He glanced at Gu Monian, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "When did you come back?"
"I landed this morning. What did the matriarch say?"
Rubbing his temples in exhaustion, Gu Shiyan replied, "The situation will be brought under control by tomorrow at the latest."
Gu Monian let out a breath of relief.
He noticed Gu Shiyan's slouched shoulders—a sight nearly impossible to imagine.
