Chapter 703: Mysterious Person (3)

After Gu Qingyao entered, the old butler bowed respectfully at a man on the sofa. “Sir, Miss Gu is here!”

A man was seated back-facing Gu Qingyao on the sofa. He leaned against the chair with a blanket spread across him, appearing to have fallen asleep.

Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes and looked at Gu Qingyao, where his icy expression warmed up a little instantly. “Miss Gu, please take a seat!”

He pointed at the seat opposite him.

Gu Qingyao did as told. Looking at him, she realized that his complexion was much worse than she thought and said with a frown, “Did you not listen to me, Sir?”

The young man remained silent for some time before sighing. “I did not wish to either, but there are too many matters to deal with in the family. There’s simply no chance for me to rest.”

He became the family head at such a young age. During the struggle for the position of the family head back then, he had already spent an immense amount of energy.

His health had been in ill shape since he was young and worsened even further these past few years. At present, his body was completely incapable of sustaining his high workload. All the doctors he had seen said that he would not be able to live longer than two years.

More so, he could not reproduce either!

This was still a secret as of now. The family must not go without a successor, and although he was ill, he was still alive. However, once the news that he cannot reproduce is leaked, chaos would really ensue in the family.

There were actually some guesses in the outside world in the past two years. However, as there was no concrete news, no one dared to make any conclusions or talk about it openly.

But he knew that he could not keep this as a secret any longer!

He desperately needed to recover!

Gu Qingyao checked his body, and her expression was not pleasant.

“Sir, your body has been severely ill since you were young, and you worked too hard in your early years. It has long handled more than what it could. If you still fail to have sufficient rest, even the best medicine would not be able to save you!”

The person before Gu Qingyao was just like a working machine.

He was the successor of an extremely wealthy family. Having been born into such a family and possessing such an identity, he had to fight in his early years in order to live!

Afterward, he finally rose to become the family head, but his body could not support him any longer.

He had seen many famous doctors all over the world, and all of them said he only had a few years of lifespan left. In a coincidence last year, he encountered her!

Truthfully speaking, this person was actually very healthy from the start. He was not ill, but he sustained injuries once and again which ultimately took a toll on his body.

Car accidents, kidnappings, overly demanding workload, all sorts of scares. Gu Qingyao guessed that his inability to reproduce was not because of natural health reasons but the later injuries throughout his life that resulted in a decline in the functioning of his entire body. He was still alive now only with the usage of medicines.

If this fellow was not born in a wealthy family and had the best treatment conditions in the world, he would have died long ago!

She actually had a way to save him, but the powers behind him were too frightening, and she dared not cure his illness too easily.

The man opposite her laughed bitterly. “Miss Gu, I will do my best to cooperate, so please cure me. I invited you over today because I hope... I have had a lot of matters to handle recently. I hope you can stay by my side to look after me.”

Gu Qingyao: “...”

Mo Beihan definitely would not agree!

Moreover, she did not wish to stay here either.

No one wished to die. He had seen countless doctors throughout the years and only saw some hope from this young lady, Gu Qingyao. Although it felt unbelievable, he couldn’t care less!

As long as the person could save him, even if the person was a child, he had no reason to suspect them.
