The sadness and remembrance in his eyes were so thick that they couldn’t be dissolved. After a long silence, he spoke with difficulty, "Qianqian... she’s no longer in this world..."
Lin Chu’s face stiffened, and the hand holding the photo frame tightened unconsciously. She looked at the vibrant Xia Qian in the photo, then at the pale, deeply comatose Xu Qiubai, and for a moment, her throat seemed choked, with countless words caught at the back of it.
Just a second ago, she was happy for the silly boy finally figuring things out, only to be pushed to the icy bottom by the harsh reality the next second.
Nothing is okay; not at all.
Lin Chu put the photo back to its original position, pursed her lips, and apologized in a low voice, "...I’m sorry, I didn’t know..."
In the past five years, Jiang Yichen had isolated her from all news related to An City.
She was unaware of the sensation Xia Qian caused when she appeared in the public eye, nor did she know that Xia Qian rejected half of An City’s wealthy young ladies’ attempts to attach themselves to Lu Huai’an and be with Xu Qiubai.
And of course, she would not know why Lu Huai’an pursued Xia Qian as if possessed for a period of time.
Mr. Xu patted Lin Chu’s shoulder, seemingly comforting her, while also speaking to himself, "It’s okay, it’s okay..."
Where Lin Chu lived now, not a single thing belonged to her, but she remembered her bank network account.
"Uncle Xu, I haven’t saved much in these years, but I can definitely help you somewhat. Please give me the account number; I’ve been friends with Qiubai for so many years, and you watched me grow up, so you know I don’t mean anything else, right?"
Lin Chu was very aware of the Xu Family’s financial situation.
This is An City’s best hospital; besides the doctor team and medical equipment being the most advanced, the fees are also quite high.
Xu Qiubai had been asleep for three years, not three months.
"Don’t worry, Xiao Chu. Uncle can still afford it for now. Qiubai’s attending physician is Mr. Gu, who invited him back from abroad. I don’t handle the expenses, only the daily costs of the hospital."
Mr. Gu...
Gu Shaozhi?
It’s not hard to understand, actually. Gu Shaozhi and Xu Qiubai aren’t related, nor are they friends. His actions are, in no small part, because of Ji Wanxia.
It’s quite laughable, actually.
Time has passed, who is this for?
Lin Chu didn’t insist any further. After all, the one thing Gu Shaozhi lacks the least is money. If he wants to make amends this way, she can’t stop him, right?
People are like this; they don’t know to cherish what they have.
After thousands of sails have passed, still unable to forgive is still unable to forgive.

Leaving the inpatient department, Lin Chu passed the outpatient building and met an ’old acquaintance’ — Shen the Superstar, who was beyond popular.
Shen Weiyi was talking with her assistant. Upon seeing Lin Chu, the cup in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Shattered glass was scattered all over the floor, water veins running through the cracks in the floor, a scene of disarray.
Shen Weiyi seemed unprepared to see Lin Chu still in An City, her lovely face stiffening, her usually aloof and elegant eyes showing disbelief. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Lin, Lin Chu?"
Her voice was very low, just murmuring in surprise.
Because of Xu Qiubai, Lin Chu concealed the gloom in her emotions entirely upon seeing Shen Weiyi. To leave, she had to pass the spot where Shen Weiyi was.
She avoided the glass shards and water stains, the sound of high heels tapping on the floor crisp and clear.
When she reached the Superstar, Lin Chu stopped walking and nonchalantly asked, "Tsk tsk tsk, really, a noble forgets too easily. It’s only been a few years, and you don’t recognize me anymore?"
Shen Weiyi worked in the entertainment industry; she had long since learned to hide all her genuine emotions. That brief surprise and shock quickly vanished as she returned to her lofty goddess appearance.
"The glare kept me from seeing clearly," Shen Weiyi spoke lightly, then instructed her stunned assistant, "Clean up here, then get the medicine."
The assistant woke up from her daze and responded promptly, "Oh, oh, okay, Sister Weiwei, please wait here for me."
Lin Chu leisurely watched the young assistant bustling about.
No one comes to a hospital for fun.
Thinking about it carefully, Miss Shen is actually quite unlucky. Minor illnesses and pains are never-ending, bringing her back to the hospital every few days.
If she were a man, she would be greatly pitied.
Lin Chu chuckled lightly and asked, "Is this too much sinning, causing illness?"
Because she had to come to the hospital, Shen Weiyi’s outfit was very low-key, yet even so, she was still lovely.
After the initial shock subsided, her subtle features no longer had any surplus emotion, and she replied calmly, "A cold fever, not a major illness so won’t die. Sorry to disappoint you."
