Ye Wan also felt nervous. Every time she saw Madam Gu, she would be beaten or scolded, so she was particularly reluctant to see her.
Seeing her descend from upstairs, dressed much better than before, Madam Gu felt displeased. Thinking about what she had to do today, she suppressed her anger and did not lash out.
"Madam," Ye Wan approached her in the living room and greeted her.
"Mm, hungry, aren't you? Butler, prepare some food for her. We'll be going to the hospital shortly," Madam Gu felt she had been generous enough, keeping her enemy's daughter in her home and raising her to this age.
After the incident back then, Ye Qingwen had simply disappeared without a trace. Ye Wan was left behind by her at the Gu family's. If the Gu family hadn't taken her in, she would have been sent to an orphanage.
Ye Wan was somewhat taken aback. She looked at Sun Ma, who was also stunned. She had been planning to call the young master if Madam Gu was going to hit Ye Wan again.
The butler also acted unusually, immediately instructing the kitchen to prepare a meal.
"A bowl of noodles will be fine. Don't delay Madam's important business," Ye Wan said quickly. She was truly famished, her stomach cramping from hunger. If she didn't eat something, she feared she would faint again.
The butler had the kitchen prepare a bowl of noodles for her, even adding two eggs. Ye Wan found this even more peculiar. Had Madam Gu changed her ways? Had the butler also changed?
Ye Wan felt uneasy, planning to fill her stomach first. She quickly finished the bowl of noodles and was then taken to the hospital by Madam Gu.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they first went to Madam Gu's attending physician. For years, Madam Gu had been undergoing rehabilitation for her hand. The doctor said her hand had a chance to recover to look as good as a normal person's, but her legs were beyond hope.
Ye Wan felt a pang of sadness listening nearby. She had personally witnessed her jumping off the building while holding her child. In truth, the difficulty in letting go over the years was not limited to Madam Gu and her son; Ye Wan was also one of them.
Leaving the doctor's office, they proceeded to the rehabilitation room. Ye Wan followed the entire time, but she truly couldn't understand the purpose of Madam Gu having her tag along today.
Rehabilitation was a painful process. Madam Gu refused to give up and worked hard. By the end, she was drenched in sweat.
The butler quickly handed Madam Gu a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Madam Gu glanced at the girl standing beside her and said, "Let's go. To the obstetrics and gynecology department."
A flicker of excitement crossed the butler's eyes. As Ye Wan's confusion grew, they arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department.
"Ye Wan, do you know your mistake!" Madam Gu finally changed her demeanor, her eyes filled with contempt and disgust.
Ye Wan's heart pounded rapidly, but her expression remained unchanged. She shook her head. "I don't know what I've done wrong again."
"Kneel!" Madam Gu angrily slapped the armrest of her wheelchair, her eyes filled with cold, terrifying hatred.
Ye Wan refused to kneel. The butler and a maid came over and forced her to her knees before Madam Gu. Madam Gu thought of her outstanding son, being toyed with by such a shameless, vile woman. She raised her hand and slapped Ye Wan across the face.
Ye Wan felt a burning pain on her cheek. She turned to look at Madam Gu. "What have I done wrong this time?"
"You still want to quibble! Get her blood drawn for a test!" Madam Gu commanded, and a nurse came to collect her blood.
Ye Wan did not struggle. She still had no idea what had happened, and she wanted to know what heinous deed she had committed.
