After hearing Gu Yan's words, Mrs. Gu didn't show a hint of remorse or guilt. Instead, she completely flipped out, grabbed a cup from beside her, and hurled it at Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, you ungrateful beast!"
Gu Yan was caught off-guard, struck in the forehead by the cup. The cup shattered on the ground, and she was hit so hard that she staggered back a few steps, her head spinning.
Warm liquid flowed down her forehead. Gu Yan reached up to touch it, and it was a patch of crimson blood.
Across from the hospital bed, Mrs. Gu ignored her injury and seemed poised to throw something else at her. At this moment, Gu's father woke up from the commotion, immediately sensing something was wrong in the room.
Seeing the blood on Gu Yan's forehead, he shook off any trace of sleepiness. Despite his frail condition making it hard to speak forcefully, he shouted angrily at Mrs. Gu, "What are you doing!"
Mrs. Gu froze at his roar, genuinely taken aback.
Gu Yan looked toward the bed, "Dad."
