Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Miscarriage 6

He Zhilan shook her head; she knew well that He Teng was a man of his word—if he said she could not touch work, then she wouldn’t be allowed to touch work. She also understood that He Teng had many responsibilities in the military and couldn’t possibly stay with her in the capital for an entire month.

But the thought of leaving He Teng to stay in the capital for a month was something He Zhilan was unwilling to do.

"I’ll return to the military with your brother," He Zhilan said. "I’ll rest for a few days, then I can bring the work home and do it slowly. Don’t worry about me; I’m okay."

"You’re going back to the military with brother?" He Dongxue glanced over at He Teng; she was in fact worried that with He Teng’s many military duties, he wouldn’t be able to take good care of He Zhilan.

However, she also understood that at this time, what He Zhilan needed most was not the company of her, as a sister, nor Lin Chan, as a brother, but the companionship of He Teng, her husband. What she needed was for He Teng to be by her side through this most difficult time.

"Then come back to the military with me." He Teng made his decision on the spot. Rather than letting He Zhilan stay in the capital, where he couldn’t see her and would worry about her, it was better to have her with him. That way, whatever happened, they as husband and wife could face it and shoulder it together.

Seeing that He Teng had made up his mind, He Dongxue did not try to dissuade him further. He Zhilan said that she should rest in the hospital for two more days before returning to the military. Then, taking on the authority of a doctor, she began to instruct He Teng about how to take care of He Zhilan after returning to the military.

Before He Zhilan was discharged from the hospital, the Gu Family, who had been busy with the funeral of the old master, surprisingly came to visit He Zhilan at the hospital.

So many days had passed since the incident, and everyone had thought that the Gu Family would treat the matter of the Gu mother causing He Zhilan’s miscarriage as irrelevant and simply turn the page.

"He Zhilan, I’m sorry, these past few days we’ve been preoccupied with the old master’s funeral, so we didn’t have the chance to visit you. I heard from your doctor that you’re preparing to be discharged in the next couple of days. How are you feeling? Are you doing better?" As women, they all knew that a miscarriage signified tremendous harm to a woman.

Both a physical and an emotional double blow.

Thus, as the grandmother of the Gu Family spoke to He Zhilan, her tone was exceptionally gentle. For a moment, He Zhilan even felt a bit dazed, as if within this caring demeanor, she saw glimpses of her younger self.

The same person, the same concern, only the times had changed. But all of it had become so different and so bitterly ironic.

He Teng had stepped out to fetch hot water for He Zhilan, so he was not currently in the ward. He Zhilan leaned on the hospital bed, simply casting a faint glance at the few members of the Gu Family; then, with no further action, not even a facial expression of acknowledgement.

He Zhilan’s indifference to the grandmother’s concern was as if unseen. Even her eyes did not flicker once. She sat there, like a wooden figure, incapable of laughter, tears, or speech.

She merely quivered her eyelashes, blinking, promising evidence she was a living being.

He Zhilan’s non-response left the grandmother somewhat embarrassed. The Gu Family had anticipated that He Zhilan might have caused a scene or possibly even have gone berserk like that time when she was drugged with sleeping pills by Gu En, but they never imagined she would be this terrifyingly silent.

"He Zhilan, I have a question I want to ask you, if you might tell me?" The grandmother slowly walked over to the hospital bed and whispered, "When the old master passed away, it was you who accompanied him. Did he say anything to you? Or maybe, did you say anything to him? He passed away so peacefully and happily. I won’t lie to you, after so many years, I never imagined that I would see him smile so contentedly, only for it to be his last. Regardless, I am very grateful to you for letting the old master pass away with no regrets."
