Chapter 790: Day Before the Wedding (2)
In her drowsiness, Xu Weilai heard footsteps. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she felt a sharp pain in her arm like it was being poked. Her eyes became heavy as she fell back into slumber.
Before she completely lost consciousness, she heard footsteps walking toward the hospital bed.

That person wrapped a huge coat around Grandpa Gu, then put on a hat and a mask on him. Grandpa Gu was then carried to a wheelchair prepared by the person and was pushed out of the wards.
He met with no obstruction at all when he carried Grandpa Gu to the underground parking lot. After placing Grandpa Gu in the back seat of the car, he got on to the driver seat and drove away.
They drove to another private hospital in the dark of the night. Grandpa Gu was brought to the psychological department of the hospital quietly.
He walked to the door of the first consultation room and knocked. It was Bai Yufang, dressed in a doctor’s robe, that answered the door.
She asked cautiously, “Did anyone see you?”
The man whispered. “No.”
“Very well, come in.”
Bai Yufang stood aside to give way to the man and let him walk in. She immediately closed the door and locked it.
The man placed Grandpa Gu on the recliner chair and tied his hands and feet with rope. He then stepped backward and looked towards Bai Yufang. “You can start now.”
Bai Yufang nodded. Her phone beeped when she was about to walk towards the recliner chair.
A message from her precious daughter, Xiao Chun, flashed on the screen of her phone: [Mom, rest early. Goodnight! *heart emoji*]
The corners of her lips curved up into a faint smile. She thought for a moment and replied to the text message: [You rest early too, baby. ]
The man frowned when he saw that Bai Yufang was not working on Grandpa Gu yet. “Doctor Bai, get to business. Don’t delay any longer.”
The warmth on Bai Yufang’s face immediately disappeared. She glared at him coldly and replied him in a chilly tone, “You don’t need to tell me what to do. Mind your own business.”
She walked straight towards the recliner chair without a glance at that man and skillfully took out a syringe from her robe pocket. With a familiar movement, she injected the content into Grandpa Gu’s arm. She snapped her fingers in front of him and said, “Grandpa Gu, wake up now.”
Grandpa Gu slowly opened his eyes. His pupils constricted when he saw the person in front of him. “You…”
Corner of Bai Yufang’s lips curled upwards when she saw his reaction. She held a swaying pocket watch in front of him and swayed the pocket watch in an uniformed movement in front of his eyes. Her chilly voice became gentle, hoarse, and bewitching.
The hypnosis process ended after an hour or more. Bai Yufang waved her hand at the person standing at the side. “Take her away.”
That man nodded and stepped forward. He picked up Grandpa Gu with the wheelchair and left.
Silence enveloped the consultation room again. Bai Yufang rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She took out her phone again and re-opened the message Xiao Chun sent earlier. All her weariness seeped away from her face.

Xu Weilai slept until daybreak.
She opened her eyes wide, as if she was shaken from her sleep. Her first reaction was to look towards the hospital bed. Grandpa Gu was still lying quietly on the bed.
She got up and walked up to him. She adjusted his quilt after she checked that his breathing was even and his expression normal. Then she turned around and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
Grandpa Gu lingered between being asleep and awoke for the next two days. His mentality gradually recovered, although he talked little in the two days.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Yu and Zuo Si had their wedding held in the Gu Garden Country Club today. Gu Yu sent a car to pick up Mr. Gu Sr., who was going to preside over the wedding, early in the morning.
