What if My Brother is Too Good?

Huo Wu initially thought that Gu Wei might have depression, but she didn’t expect that her situation was so serious. “She… How did she end up like this?”

Gu Yan remained silent for a long time before he answered, “After Aunt gave birth to you, she got mentally troubled. She is now in a good state, sometimes bad, but she has trouble recognizing people most of the time. A few days ago, a few nurses were around her, discussing the incident after you were mistakenly taken out of the private hospital eighteen years ago. At that time, she suddenly became emotional and insisted that you were her child. She rambled on and on for a long time that day, saying that she had abandoned a child in a private hospital back then, who was carried away by a janitor cleaning the toilets. Her caregiver notified Grandpa about this matter, and it was immediately taken seriously.”

Gu Chi then added, “After Grandpa learned about this matter, he cautiously investigated the events that very year and found out that you are Aunt’s child. Aunt’s attending doctor said that your presence may be helpful to her condition. I can’t say for sure if Aunt can slowly return to normal if you try talking to her more, but it can’t hurt in the end.”

When Gu Chi said this, Gu Yan immediately interrupted him sternly, “Gu Chi!”

After that, he immediately turned to comfort Huo Wu and said, “Cousin, Grandpa found you and brought you back just because you are his granddaughter, with the family’s blood flowing in your veins, which has nothing to do with Aunt’s condition. Don’t take what Gu Chi just said to heart.”

Huo Wu pursed her lips and said with a smile after a while, “I don’t mind. If my presence can help improve her condition in any way, I’m happy to help.”

Gu Yan forced a smile. “Aunt’s condition has been recurring for years. Curing her is easier said than done. The damage that person did to her back then is too great.”

That person?

Huo Wu immediately thought that that person should refer to her biological father.

Gu Yan didn’t mention anything much about those years or that man. He smiled down and restored his sunny smile at the beginning.

“Cousin, if you have a boyfriend in the future, I will definitely conduct a thorough check on him.”

Gu Chi also immediately followed suit and declared his position, “Me too, me too. If your boyfriend doesn’t treat you well, we’ll beat him to death.”

Hearing the word “boyfriend,” Huo Wu got lost in thought before she thanked her two cousins for their good intentions.

She gradually returned her attention to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei looked in bad shape. She was haggard, and her hair was waxy yellow. She was only 35 this year, but she resembled someone over 40.

Huo Wu hesitantly said, “Can-Can I chat with her alone?”

Gu Yan nodded. “Of course.”

After Gu Yan and Gu Chi left the room, Huo Wu squatted in front of Gu Wei, stared at her, and said softly, “I am Huo Wu, your daughter.” Gu Wei still had little reaction after she said that. Huo Wu pondered for a moment and went on to say, “I am the child that you abandoned in the private hospital eighteen years ago.”

Huo Wu’s real intention was to tell the poor woman in front of her that she was her child and wanted to get closer to her. However, she didn’t know which word in her sentence touched a nerve. Gu Wei suddenly became frantic and on the verge of insanity. “Eighteen years ago? My child, my child! Hahaha! He doesn’t want you! He doesn’t want you, ha!”

Gu Wei stood up all of a sudden, grabbed the glass beside the table, and slammed it on the ground viciously. Shards of glass shattered when it hit the ground. With eyes flushed, she then grabbed something else.

Huo Wu was startled by Gu Wei’s sudden outburst. She was just dodging a glass when a group of doctors rushed to the door. One of them immediately gave Gu Wei a shot of sedative. In a short while, the sedative took effect.

Huo Wu looked helplessly at Gu Yan and Gu Chi who both had rushed in together with them. “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect it to happen like this.”

Gu Yan shook his head, checked Huo Wu, and said, “It’s okay. You’re not hurt, right?”

“No.”

Seeing how lost Huo Wu looked, Gu Chi comforted her and said, “You don’t need to blame yourself. Speaking of which, it’s us who didn’t think it through enough just now. We left you alone with Aunt and that almost got you hurt.”

Only now did Huo Wu figure out that the Gu family had fully intended to have her try out her influence on Gu Wei first. Otherwise, how could they have willingly let her stay alone with Gu Wei just now when she has only come here for the first time today?

At present, it seemed possible that her presence might have some influence on Gu Wei. But for this influence to turn into a positive one, it would take time and positive guidance. If there was no accident, Gu Wei’s attending doctor would look for her soon.

Huo Wu wouldn’t feel disappointed about this.

The Gu family gave her asylum. So she would do her best to help treat Gu Wei’s mental illness.

It was mutually beneficial to each other. In this way, she, in turn, would be more at ease.

After leaving Gu Wei’s ward, Huo Wu told Gu Yan and Gu Chi that she wanted to be alone for a while. She temporarily said goodbye to her two cousins, walked alone to the artificial lake, and sat down on a stone bench nearby.

Speaking of which, Gu Wei was also a pitiful woman. She gave birth to a child at sixteen and went crazy shortly after.
