Chapter 10 The Only Chance

• He hesitated for a moment, looking at Gu Jinyan's profile and said, "It rained heavily all night. Miss Jiang didn't leave for a moment and was soaked all night. When the servants found her, she had already fainted on the ground from the fever."
• His tone was neither cold nor indifferent, just stating the facts.
• Gu Jinyan's deep eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the position of the window and hummed lightly, "You seem to know it well."
• The butler responded, "Miss Jiang collapsed near the front gate. All the servants passing by saw it. If the young master feels it's inappropriate, I can send Miss Jiang away now."
• If she was sent away, there would be no need to see her and be bothered by her.
• Everyone understood that if Gu Jinyan really didn't want to deal with it, he wouldn't let her stay at the gate of the Gu family.
• That's why the old lady hinted for the butler to come.
• Sure enough, Gu Jinyan snorted coldly, his icy gaze falling on the butler, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me?"
• "I dare not, young master."
• The butler bent his back, showing his submission.
• Seeing this, Gu Jinyan didn't hold on any longer and said coldly, "In that case, bring her in. Don't let outsiders laugh at us."
• "Alright, young master."
• The butler responded and prepared to personally bring Jiang Yue into the Gu family.
• Seeing the butler leave, Gu Jinyan finally relaxed his furrowed brows. He looked at the gloomy sky outside and his fingers on the wheelchair moved slightly. What exactly was this woman's purpose?
• ------------
• The butler stood at the door, looking at the unconscious Jiang Yue. His calm eyes showed a hint of fluctuation.
• Then he stepped forward and supported her, bringing her in front of Gu Jinyan.
• Without Gu Jinyan speaking, he couldn't bring Jiang Yue back to her room.
• Jiang Yue had finally entered the Gu family's gate, but she was completely unaware of it.
• The high fever made her dazed. She didn't even know that she had been taken away from the front gate. She just instinctively leaned on the nearby table and chair.
• The servants placed breakfast on the table and quickly left.
• Gu Jinyan caught sight of the woman with his peripheral vision. He saw her flushed face and pale lips, making her look fragile. Even in her unconscious state, she furrowed her brows, showing her unease.
• The butler stood by and asked, "Young master, should I call a doctor for Miss Jiang?"
• If her condition was left unattended, her fever might damage her brain.
• If that happened, Jiang Yue would become worthless.
• Gu Jinyan subconsciously turned his head to look. Seeing that she was still not awake, only murmuring in her unconscious state, her voice was not loud, but it was clear enough in the quiet environment.
• "Mom..."
• The murmuring voice entered Gu Jinyan's ears. The hand holding the chopsticks tightened involuntarily. For a moment, he thought of his own mother.
• The woman who had passed away a long time ago.
• The younger version of himself seemed to whisper "mom" in the same way, but he could never get a response.
• The murmuring didn't end there. It gradually turned into a sob, filled with countless grievances.
• Gu Jinyan looked at the half-dead Jiang Yue, his gaze fixed on her closed eyes.
• He knew how clear those eyes were when they opened.
• They reminded him of the woman from that night...
• Forget it, it's better to keep this woman by his side and take care of her.
• Ignoring the strange feeling that flashed through his heart, Gu Jinyan lifted his eyelids and glanced at the butler. He said, "Take her away. Don't ruin my appetite."
• The butler instantly understood and took the initiative to bring Jiang Yue back to her room, then called for a doctor.
• After some twists and turns, her body temperature gradually subsided.
• The cold liquid flowed into her body through the needle, making her feel a chill all over. Jiang Yue slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still somewhat unfocused.
• Just as she was about to sit up, her wrist was held down.
• "Miss Jiang, please don't move." As soon as the words fell, the fingers on her wrist quickly let go.
• Hearing the butler's voice, Jiang Yue realized that she was still in the Gu family. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and saw the IV needle on the back of her hand.
• At first, she was stunned, but then she reacted.
• The Gu family hadn't completely abandoned her!
• That was great, her mother still had a chance!
• "Thank you." Although she didn't know how she returned to her room, based on the actions of the butler just now, she should say thank you.
• The butler saw that Jiang Yue had regained consciousness and said, "You're welcome."
• "Miss Jiang, please don't relax too early. Tonight is your last chance. If you fail again, you won't have the qualification to stay in the Gu family."
• These words instantly chilled Jiang Yue. Gu Jinyan's cold expression flashed through her mind. She simply couldn't do it!
• "But... Mr. Gu probably doesn't want to see me now." Even if she was willing to take the initiative, what could she do if Gu Jinyan didn't cooperate?
• The butler had anticipated this and reminded her, "It's okay, the old lady will help you. But you only have one chance, so you must seize it."
• Jiang Yue didn't understand, "How can the old lady help me?"
• In this matter, how could an outsider be of any help?
• The butler shook his head gently, his calm gaze falling into Jiang Yue's eyes, making her give up on asking further questions and quickly nodded in agreement.
• She had no other choice now.
• What method would the other party use and how was it related to her?
• "Miss Jiang, take care of yourself." The butler knew that Jiang Yue had understood and got up to leave. But when he reached the door, he stopped and added, "After the medicine is finished, you can call someone to remove the needle for you."
• Jiang Yue nodded instinctively. After the butler left and she was alone in the room, she revealed a bitter expression, her brows filled with anxiety.
• It seemed that tonight was the real trial.
• To stay or leave, it all depended on this moment.
• As the night fell, Jiang Yue's heart sank like the sky.
• Her body had recovered, but she still felt weak. After taking her medicine on time, she was fine.
• Following the butler's instructions, when it was almost dark, she suppressed her restless thoughts, took a bath, and sat at the door in a bathrobe, waiting for something that never came.
• After all, she didn't need anything.
• The waiting time was unbearable.
• Fortunately, the butler soon knocked on her door, startling her as she quickly got up.
• Outside the door, the butler saw that she was ready and nodded in satisfaction, "Everything is arranged. Just go directly to the young master's room."
• After saying that, he seemed to have completed his task and turned to leave.
