Chu He was already limp and weak in his arms. In her blurry consciousness, she felt pain wash over her. She was in so much agony that she was sweating and twitching.

  Immediately, she could sense the doctors and nurses rushing over. She passed out from the pain for a few minutes, and when she woke up again, she found herself on a trolley bed. The nurses were in a hurry wheeling her towards the emergency room.

  “I’m here.”


  She heard Gu Jinglian’s voice and turned around. She saw him holding on to the edge of the trolley bed nervously with one hand and gripping her hand tightly with the other, looking very restrained.

  Chu He pursed her lips. For some reason, she felt like crying. She had experienced countless near-death situations, but even when facing death, she had never known fear.

  She didn’t know fear because she had no attachments in life. Like a cold killing machine, hovering on the edge of death, long used to the unfeeling and cold world. However, this man, and Baby Chu… they gave her a new perspective to life. Because of them, she had developed attachments.

  Gu Jinglian consoled her. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be waiting for you outside.”


  “Jinglian…”


  When they reached the door, Gu Jinglian was stopped outside by the nurse. His grip on Chu He’s hand gradually loosened.

  Chu He looked as if she was about to say something, however she was pushed into the emergency room before she could do so. Now, the cold door separated them.

  Gu Jinglian stared at it. He stood in the doorway, holding onto his sleeve, which was cold with wetness.

  When Butler Fu arrived looking frantic, he saw Gu Jinglian sitting quietly at the entrance of the emergency room. He walked over and saw that Gu Jinglian was trembling and gripping his own arms tightly. There were still traces of wetness on his sleeve.

  “What happened, Old Master?”


  Gu Jinglian, however, did not react. His gaze was fixed and he did not move.

  He had never been so frightened. Afraid something would happen to Chu He.

  Gu Jinglian knew that he had always had a heart of stone. Nothing could move him. However, now he had come to know fear. He was truly afraid…


  Gu Jinglian clasped his arms tightly. He had never hated himself more.

  Damn it.

  This matter could have been avoided!

  Seeing how dejected he was, Butler Fu felt even more anxious and guilty. “Old Master… I was too careless. I thought that Chu He was just going to meet a friend, but I didn’t expect…”


  No matter what he said, Gu Jinglian refused to listen. His mind was blank now, as was his gaze. His heart was in turmoil, and a coldness had spread throughout his body.

  Just now, he thought he saw a smear of blood on the bed where Chu He lay. It was a ghastly sight.

  She was bleeding?!

  Right now, he couldn’t think. He couldn’t think about whether the babies were safe. He was only worried that something might happen to Chu He. She had opened a door in life for him, and he did not want this door to be ruthlessly closed.

  In a daze, he started thinking again. Karma. It turned out that karma really did exist.

  When we sow seeds of goodness, we get blessings.

  When we sow seeds of evil, we come to bad endings.

  If he had not broken Black Panther’s arm back then, Black Panther would not have hated him for it.

  If he hadn’t operated a casino, there wouldn’t be all this trouble.

  In life there are no if’s…


  However…


  If only…


  If Chu He would come out of this safely, he vowed that there would be no more casinos under the Gu family!
