The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy
chapter-1149

Xixi ran over to cling to Gu Juexi’s leg the moment they reached home. Happily, she told him that they were inviting Yuan Mo over to their house tomorrow.

Yuan Mo had been in B City for more than a week now. His parents were both in the air force. His father was a Major, and his mother was a Captain. Being combat controllers in the air force left them with very limited time to take care of their son.

The air force had arranged for Yuan Mo to attend an elementary school affiliated with it. Xixi had been asking to go with Yuan Mo but the idea was rejected by Gu Juexi almost instantly. Firstly, the school was some distance away from where they stayed, and would be rather inconvenient for Xixi to commute daily. Secondly, a military school was not going to be as good as an elite school.

When Ye Xicheng mentioned that he would like to go with Yuan Mo, Gu Juexi agreed almost instantly, but rejected the idea when he realized that Xixi would follow her brother for sure.

In conclusion, his daughter was always his main concern.

“Auntie Qian, is my mother not back yet?” Gu Juexi reached out to carry his daughter and asked after looking around the house.

“The hospital called today. Master’s fever won’t go down and they suspected that he has an infection after the surgery. Mistress went to the hospital after she got the call in the morning,” said Auntie Qian quickly.

“Is it very serious?” asked Ye Yuwei after exchanging looks with Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi dialled Butler Kim’s number. “How is it?” asked Gu Juexi straightforwardly.

“They just finished operating. He is out of danger now but the fever is still there,” Butler Kim replied from the other end of the line.

“Why is there an infection all of a sudden?” Gu Juexi loosened his tie and asked impatiently.

Ye Yuwei knew that Gu Juexi did care about his father, but was too egoistic to let it show.

“The doctor said that getting infected after surgery is rather common, so we should pay more attention to his symptoms,” Butler Kim repeated the doctor’s exact words.

“I can look after him. You can take Mother home,” Ye Yuwei suggested.

Gu Juexi didn’t want Ye Yuwei to spend the night in the hospital taking care of his father, but he didn’t want his mother to do the same either.

“I will go. You take care of the kids,” Gu Juexi said while taking off his tie as he went upstairs to change.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi going upstairs and felt happy. She knew that Gu Juexi still cared about Gu Tianmu.

Gu Juexi went to the hospital without having his dinner. Ye Yuwei didn’t make him stay for dinner, but took care of the kids and helped them with their dinner instead.

The truth was that anything about Gu Tianmu should be taken care of by Gu Juexi and only Gu Juexi.

Gu Juexi arrived at the hospital and found Wen Jie sitting beside Gu Tianmu’s bed. Gu Tianmu’s face was unnaturally flushed, and it was not hard to tell that it was because of the fever.

“Mother,” Gu Juexi called out softly.

Wen Jie turned and got up from the chair when she saw Gu Juexi. “You don’t have to come, I will stay here and take care of him,” said Wen Jie.

“I will check with the doctor about his condition. Please go back with Butler Kim, Mother,” Gu Juexi gestured at Butler Kim and said.

“You can go back,” Wen Jie looked at Gu Tianmu and said, then let out a sigh as she continued, “his fever won’t go away and my mind won’t be at ease if I don’t stay here.”

Gu Juexi hesitated when he heard what his mother said. He didn’t insist on her going back, and left the ward to look for the doctor.

“Why don’t you go home and get some rest since Young Master is here, Mistress?” Xiao Yuan tried to convince Wen Jie to go home too.
