Chapter 616: Chapter 627: Sorrow and Joy, Life and Death

Miss Xie from the Jie Family never understood why her second brother loved Concubine Du so much and disliked Miss Du, who was obviously much more beautiful, so much. Later, a granny by her side explained, "The young master and Concubine Du sympathize with each other. They lost their mothers the same year, and every year when they pay respects, they do it together."

She didn’t understand at the time, but having heard what Miss Du just said, she vaguely grasped something.

Xie Qinyun snatched the sachet from the dispirited second master Xie’s hands and said, "This is the only wish she has left, you should return it, shouldn’t you?"

He watched as the sachet returned to Miss Du’s hands.

In his memory, it was that hand that had placed the sachet in his, wasn’t it?

Only it was much too thin now.

"My dear!" Concubine Du timidly tugged on the sleeve of the second master Xie.

Second master Xie turned his head woodenly, and looking at Concubine Du, he only felt a blur.

Why did he have the impression that he had never really seen her clearly?

The divorce paper Miss Du wanted was obtained, as was the ’token of love’ that Concubine Du and the second young master of the Jie Family believed they shared. Gu Youyou thought the time was just about right and whispered to Lin Qianqing, "It’s our turn to come forward."

Lin Qianqing responded with a smile and stepped forward to ask, "Does Miss Du have any other wishes?"

Miss Du was clearly stunned, and even the heartbroken Master Xie and the dispirited second young master were taken aback.

It made sense for them to ask Miss Du if she had any unfulfilled wishes, but what did it mean for you, a stranger who popped out of nowhere, to ask the same?

Miss Du was a bit dazed, never having imagined that her imminent death would look like this, completely different from when her parents died.

She looked past Lin Qianqing and said, "As for wishes, I have none left, only regrets that I understood too late."

If only she had understood sooner, perhaps things would not be like this.

She was speaking to Gu Youyou, who then smiled at her and said, "If I gave you another chance at life, what would you want to do?"

"What?"

No sooner had Gu Youyou said this than all eyes in the room turned to her.

The second master Xie was visibly excited and exclaimed, "Doctor Gu, didn’t you say there was no hope?"

Lin Qianqing replied, "Do you wish for Miss Du to be beyond help? We just thought you wouldn’t save her."

"What do you mean?" asked the second master Xie, still baffled.

Master Xie, agitated, stood up and stared intently at Gu Youyou, asking, "Doctor Gu, what is going on here?"

Gu Youyou produced a medicinal pill and said calmly, "Just now, Miss Du was a woman of the Jie Family; her life and death were in the hands of the second young master Xie. Her maid has told us more than once that the second young master Xie could hardly wait for Miss Du to die, so I couldn’t bring out this life-saving medicine.

Now that she is a free woman, I truly cannot bear to see Miss Du die so young, which is why I have decided to save her."

A mix of joy and sorrow, life and death, left Miss Du feeling as if she was living in another world.

Overcome with emotion, she fainted once again.

"Miss!" Cuiya, crying again, rushed to her side.

"What’s going on now?" It wasn’t just Miss Du who experienced a roller coaster of emotions; everyone else in the room did too.

"Doctor Gu, please save her quickly," Master Xie urged anxiously.

Gu Youyou nodded slightly and hurried to Miss Du’s side, helping her sit up and inserting the medicine into her mouth, then pressed her philtrum. Soon after, she woke up again.

"I’ll prescribe you some medicine; after resting for a few days you should recover," Gu Youyou said softly.

Miss Du held her chest, struggling to even her breath.
