The people who had come along had very solemn expressions as well. Lin Che could only ask, “Excuse me, where are you taking me? How is Gu Jingze doing now? Is he in the hospital?”

“Madam, none of us know Sir’s condition. We just received instructions to protect Madam and escort her safely to her destination. As for Sir’s condition, you’ll probably have to ask the people involved after you arrive there to find out.”

Lin Che became even more anxious when she heard this. She instinctively clasped her hands tightly together in front of her. With her hands clasped, she only worried if she would encounter any unpleasant situation later or receive some terrible news.

However, she could not allow herself to add to Gu Jingze’s troubles again. She had to be fine. She definitely had to be fine.

Nothing would happen to Gu Jingze. He would definitely be fine too.

Gu Jingze was so powerful and so impressive. How could anything happen to him?

The place that she arrived at was not the hospital nor the Gu residence either. The place looked more like a sanatorium.

After getting out of the car, Lin Che walked in hurriedly. She immediately saw that a tight blockade had been imposed inside. When Lin Che entered, the person who stopped her at the door looked at her, matched her face to her photo, and also inspected her eyes before saying, “Madam, please go in.”

Lin Che breathed in deeply and walked in large strides. She saw doctors walking around inside and it looked like not one person was not in a hurry.

Lin Che instantly caught sight of Qin Hao standing at the entrance and quickened her steps.

“Qin Hao,” Lin Che called out as she walked in.

Qin Hao turned his head. There were others who turned their heads at the same time. However, when they saw Lin Che, they asked fiercely, “Who is this? Why did you casually bring someone here?”

Qin Hao said hastily, “This is the Madam. How dare you block just anyone? Where are your eyes?”

They froze when they heard this. They did not expect Gu Jingze to have already married in secret without anyone knowing.

They bowed their heads respectfully to Lin Che. Qin Hao said, “Madam, don’t be afraid. These people are from the military and don’t know you.”

“I’m fine, Gu Jingze…:

“Madam, don’t be anxious. Sir barely escaped death and is still in critical condition right now. But nevertheless, Sir is fundamentally alright.”

He was still in critical condition…

Lin Che’s heart softened immediately. “Then, how exactly is he now? Where is he injured?”

Qin Hao looked at Lin Che with a troubled expression. “It’s good that you’re here now. When Sir woke up just now, the first thing he thought of was you and he instructed us to quickly move you to a safe place. He fainted again and is now unconscious. This place is a sanatorium owned by Gu Industries and is equipped with everything. The situation outside will be turbulent for the time being, so it’s better for you to stay here instead. As for Sir… it’s better for you not to visit him since it’s a little scary.”

“No, I want to take a look. It doesn’t matter. Nothing scares me at all. Just let me see him!”

“But…”

“No buts. He is ultimately still my husband. I want to see my husband, can’t I?” Lin Che lifted her head up assertively and gazed at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao paused and looked inside awkwardly.

However, Lin Che had already started walking in. “I want to see how he’s doing.”

Seeing that he could not stop her, Qin Hao hastily followed her.

The doors opened and Lin Che saw that the person inside seemed to have tubes inserted all over his body. The area beside him was filled with red bandages and there was even an oxygen mask over his mouth, which covered half of his handsome face. His deathly-pale face made her heart ache. Lin Che walked in hastily and looked at Gu Jingze. On the bright side, his breathing was regular and he already looked much better.

Qin Hao said, “Although he looks frightening, it’s actually alright. His vitals are still very stable. Madam, you don’t need to worry too much.”

“I’m fine. Is he in a coma?”

“Yes. The doctor said that he will probably regain consciousness tomorrow. He’s only like this because he was administered anesthesia.”

“Okay.”

That night, Lin Che sat at the side as she looked at Gu Jingze. She had not at all expected such a thing to happen out of the blue.

The people outside continued bustling around in unrest for the entire night.

Lin Che sat there watching Gu Jingze. Her eyes kept tracing the contours of his perfect face for the entire night. She did not sleep at all.

From time to time, someone came in to check on his condition. There were also people walking around and inquiring about the incident. However, she could not clearly hear them from inside the room. Lin Che kept holding Gu Jingze’s hand and did not know how much time had passed before she heard a sudden groan from Gu Jingze.

“Lin… Lin Che?”

Lin Che instantly sobered up. She sat up from where she was beside him and quickly looked at the man on the bed in joy.

“You’re awake?”

Gu Jingze frowned and looked at Lin Che. He looked down and caught a glimpse of her hands presently placed in his.

He still had not forgotten how she had angered him to death before this, causing him to leave the Gu residence directly thereafter.

He asked, “Why did you come here?”

Lin Che had been so glad earlier because he had finally woken up, but she suddenly heard such a cold line from him.

She angrily pushed his hands away, stood up directly, and said, “Since you clearly didn’t want to see me, then I’ll just leave.”

“Hey…” Gu Jingze was really about to die of anger because of her.

“Lin Che, you dare to leave?” When Gu Jingze sat up, the apparatus on his body started beeping immediately.

Lin Che quickly turned her head to see him getting up hastily and pulling at the apparatus and the wounds on his body as well. He frowned as his badly mutilated shoulder froze in its place. Shocked, Lin Che ran back to him in a hurry.

“Don’t move. Why are you moving around?” Lin Che quickly held Gu Jingze down.

Gu Jingze was in so much pain that his complexion turned slightly paler. However, he swallowed his pain down forcibly and refused to let out any sound.

He merely raised his head and looked at the woman before him with his teeth clenched together.

He was absolutely sure that he would sooner or later die in this woman’s hands one day.

He said, “Fine, go. If you walk out this door, then don’t come back again for the rest of your life!”

“I’m only doing this because I’m afraid you’ll get irritated when you see me,” Lin Che yelled.

“You mean, because you’ll get irritated when you see me,” Gu Jingze said.

Lin Che said bitterly, “I- When did I ever get irritated from seeing you?!”

As he looked at Lin Che, Gu Jingze no longer wanted to waste another word on her. He simply pulled her down forcefully, took her directly into his arms, and landed a hard kiss on her small and infuriating mouth.

He gnawed at her lips as if venting all the resentment he felt towards her inside.

This time, however, Lin Che stopped evading him at last. She tasted the hint of bitterness from the medicine in his mouth, but he was still as captivating and smelled as good as ever. Even at his lowest moments, this man always retained his top-notch elegance and charm. How could she resist him?

Panting faintly, Lin Che’s arms had instinctively wound around his neck long ago.

This continued until they stopped. She breathed in deeply and felt as if she was already in a complete daze.

However, when she registered what was happening, she realized that she had at some time already seated herself on him.

Her body was now resting on his shoulder, which had been bandaged the night before.

She let out a shout and frantically said, “Your injury…”
