Chapter 279: That’s just my nature

“Fond of children?” Gu Si shook her head, dismissing the idea.
To her, children were the most bothersome creatures in the world, especially the likes of Gu Yin, a primary school student who knew nothing but how to cry and whine.
Gu Si was certain that Gu Dai’s decision to adopt Gu Yin was part of some scheme against her.
She thought how Gu Dai had become smarter and more difficult to deal with than three years ago.
Yet, Gu Dai’s move was still a mistake in Gu Si’s eyes, for she cared nothing for a child born from a man she neither cared about nor loved. Even if Gu Dai harmed Gu Yin, Gu Si wouldn’t blink an eye.
However, Gu Si saw this as an opportunity to meet Gu Dai and remind her of her insignificance, like a bug that could be squashed with ease.
Sipping her tea, a satisfied smile curled on her lips.
After arranging her stay at a hotel, Gu Dai received a call from Su Ting.
“Sis, Lawyer Shang Sui has sent the lawsuit and custody application to your email. You can check them when you have time,” Su Ting informed her.
Surprised at the speed, Gu Dai raised her eyebrows, “This fast?”
Su Ting chuckled and nodded, “Mhmm.”
“There’s also evidence of Wen Ye’s domestic violence as an attachment. We’ll surely win with that in court,” Su Ting added.
Gu Dai opened her mailbox and, seeing the neatly arranged files, smiled and said, “Thank you for hiring the lawyer.”
Su Ting replied softly, “It’s always my honor, Sis. I never find it bothersome.”
Su Ting, fearing that Gu Dai might still be too formal with him, quickly added, “Sis, I’m off to work now. Once I’m done, I can return to see you.”
Gu Dai responded, “Alright, I look forward to your early return.”
After she hung up the phone, her gaze settled intently on Gu Yin. She gently brushed away the hair from the child’s forehead, her fingers lightly resting there.
A moment later, she withdrew her hand, her voice relaxed, “A few more treatments, and you should be fully recovered.”
When Song Ling arrived at the location Zhao Xuan had told him about, he saw Gu Dai tenderly looking at the child on the bed.
He felt as if Gu Dai emanated a kind of light at that moment, mesmerizing him.
Song Ling felt all the gloom that had weighed on his heart these past days vanish at the sight of Gu Dai.
Upon turning and seeing Song Ling, surprise flickered in Gu Dai’s eyes, and her brows unconsciously furrowed as she asked in a lowered voice, “What are you doing here? Are you healed?”
Song Ling came back to his senses, his gaze sweeping over the ward. Seeing no other men, he relaxed.
He nodded, “I’m healed. Don’t worry about me.”
Gu Dai responded indifferently, “I wasn’t worried, just asking out of courtesy.”
She was only concerned that Song Ling’s injury might be severe, implicating her brother.
Song Ling said, “I heard from Zhao Xuan that the Legendary Doctor visited the hospital and even performed surgery on a little girl.”
His eyes intently fixed on Gu Dai, hoping to discern some detail, but unfortunately, she remained calm and composed.
“Yes, the Legendary Doctor saved Yinyin,” Gu Dai stated calmly.
Then, recalling Song Ling’s inquiry, she added, “President Song seems very interested in the Legendary Doctor.”
Five years ago, the Legendary Doctor had saved him, and upon waking up, he had been searching for her, wanting to thank her in person and, if possible, befriend her for future assistance.
But as the Legendary Doctor was a woman, Song Ling feared Gu Dai might misunderstand his interest, especially since their relationship had already become strained over the Jiang Yue incident.
After much deliberation, Song Ling decided not to reveal his true reason to Gu Dai.
“I’ve long heard of the Legendary Doctor Aurora’s superb medical skills and have always wanted to meet her,” said Song Ling.
Gu Dai was surprised by Song Ling’s interest in her alternative identity, though indifferent to her disguise being discovered, she didn’t want to reveal it to Song Ling that easily.
Looking up, Gu Dai shrugged, “Unfortunately, I don’t know the Legendary Doctor.”
Song Ling’s gaze deepened as he pressed, “If you don’t know her, why would she perform surgery on the child?”
Pausing for a second, he continued, “And when you talk about the Legendary Doctor, you seem very calm, not at all excited about having seen her. Your attitude makes it seem like you’re quite familiar with her.”
Gu Dai met Song Ling’s gaze firmly, “That’s just my nature..”
