You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 209

No wonder she was at Second People’s Hospital’s entrance.

“Are you done looking?” Bai Rong spoke coldly.

She put down her dress, sat up, and looked at Gu Mingchen frostily. “Isn’t it rude to uncover my wounds without my permission?”

“How did you get injured?” he asked worriedly.

Bai Rong got up from the bed without looking at him. “I’m not the one you should care about as we have nothing to do with each other any longer.”

He stood behind her. “We have mutually agreed to be married, but now you won’t even discuss the divorce with me?”

“We agreed that you wouldn’t oppose my request of divorce before our marriage, so I’m just fulfilling your promise.” She pulled off her diamond ring and handed it to him.

However, he took the ring and threw it out the window. Glaring at her with bloodshot eyes, he said with certainty, “I won’t divorce you.”

“But we already have,” she told him the hard truth.

Gu Mingchen held her arm. “I’m obligated to take care of Zhou Hailan! Her injury and mental sickness were because of me!”

Nonetheless, Bai Rong didn’t want to go over the same problem.

“Then, take care of her for the rest of your life,” she spat coldheartedly.

He frowned helplessly. “Can’t you be more understanding?”

“There are many women in the world who can forgive you, tolerate you, support you, and honor your decisions, but I am not one of them. You can hate me and even blame me, but you’ll realize that I’m not the one you’re looking for eventually. So, just let me go,” she responded decisively.

His gaze turned cold. “Am I not worthy of you?”

She looked up at the man. I had enough with hopeless marriages. It will be like hell if it lasts for one more day. I’m already on the brink of a mental breakdown, and I have to protect myself.

This is my defense mechanism.

“Just regard me as a selfish woman.”

Gu Mingchen dropped his hand. “Alright. I’m taking you to the hospital since you’re severely injured.”

“There’s no need.”

He blew his top. “Is that all you say to my face from now on? Let me tell you something, I won’t divorce you. If you can ask Su Xuyan to destroy the records at the Civil Affairs Bureau, I can recover them too.

She finally broke down. “I want a divorce! I want freedom! I don’t want to be trapped in utter despair. Where was my husband on my wedding night? Do you think the only sick person is Zhou Hailan? Do you think she’s the only one who fainted and needed a doctor? She fainted when you were there, but I fainted on the road! Ask yourself if you really care about me at all.”

“I really have no idea about all these. Is it fair to blame me when I don’t know what your sicknesses are?” Gu Mingchen looked at her worriedly.

She paused. Being impulsive will only make me act irrationally and say hurtful words that I will regret later. However, it’s often easier said than done.

“Gu Mingchen, I’m knackered. Let me rest while you take care of your business,” said Bai Rong softly.

When he looked at her pale face, his gaze gradually softened. “Let’s not force each other to marry or divorce. Extreme methods will only hurt us.”

“Fine,” she responded feebly.

“Get some rest. I’ll make you something to eat.” Hearing this, she felt sad and lay in bed while he covered her with a blanket.

She shut her eyes to avoid facing the man. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Rong, don’t sleep yet. We still need to treat your wounds. Have you applied any medicine yet?” Gu Mingchen asked tenderly.

Bai Rong opened her eyes. “Yes. I applied it once in the morning and at night, so you can leave now.”

After leaving, he soon came back in with a kettle and poured some water into a cup.

“I’m not leaving… I’ll be in the kitchen. Just holler if you need anything,” he said solemnly. Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.

However, she felt reluctant to see the stalwart figure leave.

She had already heard the story of Gu Mingchen and Zhou Hailan, and there was nothing wrong with him wanting to take care of that woman.

Unfortunately, she minded Hai Lan’s existence.

Since she didn’t want him to give up on his responsibilities, she decided to let him go instead.

But at the same time, she felt upset that he couldn’t see that woman because of her condition.

Women were conflicting creatures. They were quickly moved and blinded by emotions.

Besides, she had seen too many cases like that.

A young, beautiful, and kind-hearted female graduate student saw an old lady collapsed and helped her up. She wanted to find her son, but couldn’t, so she wanted to go home.

Therefore, this girl sent the old lady back to a mountainous area but was detained and forced to marry a disabled man. The girl was also compelled to give birth to a defective child and stuck there for life.

There was also a young and beautiful nurse who helped a pregnant woman to go home. However, she did not expect that the pregnant woman was helping her husband hunt down virgins. In the end, the nurse was brutally killed by the couple.

Kindness and compassion were good qualities, but being rational and having awareness of danger were even more important in life.

Bai Rong closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep with a heavy head.

It was 10 p.m. when she woke up.

Growling in hunger, she got out of bed and walked out of the room.

When Gu Mingchen saw her, he stood up from the couch. “Are you hungry? The food’s ready. I just need to heat it up for you.”

She looked up and thanked him.

However. he disliked her thanking him as it felt formal and distant.

He walked toward her and put the diamond ring on her finger again. “Don’t take it off first. I won’t force you to get marry me. Let’s wait for three months before making a decision. If you made up your mind after that, I wouldn’t push you anymore.”

She glanced at the shimmering diamond ring under the light.

Then, she looked at Gu Mingchen rationally.

Forcing things won’t work. Given his position, divorce is forbidden in a military rule. Maybe we can’t even have a divorce as we are married. I only need to persevere for another three months, after all.

“Fine,” she agreed.

“Wait for me at the dining table. It’ll be just a few minutes.” He finally seemed more relaxed and went into the kitchen.

He made fish chowder, carrots, and omelets.

“The fish chowder and the vitamin C from the carrots help repair the wounds,” he explained.

“Alright.”

He served two plates for both of them.

She glanced at him. He hasn’t taken dinner yet?

Gu Mingchen looked at her, too. “Well, can you tell me about our child? Who does the baby resemble more? Me or you?”
