After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 546 I'm afraid you don't really love me

However, what left Gu Zhiyao even more at a loss was that He Yi suddenly developed a high fever late at night, which the doctor said was caused by being caught in the rain for a long time.

She was stunned when she heard this, and without thinking of anything else, she rushed to his dormitory.

Chenchen stayed by his father's bedside, constantly trying to lower his temperature with physical methods. When he saw Gu Zhiyao, he was taken aback at first, then said, "Mom, you should go to sleep. I can take care of things here."

He is only 7 years old, but he already acts like an adult and knows how to take care of his sick father.

Gu Zhiyao was both relieved and moved, her eyes filled with tears. She did not leave, but slowly walked to the bedside and stared at He Yi, whose pale face was flushed and clearly not in a normal condition.

“Mom, you’re worried about Dad too, right? Then sit down for a while. Come on, sit down.” Chenchen stood up and offered the chair to his mother.

Gu Zhiyao thanked him and then sat down.

Chenchen continued to tell her about He Yi's situation, and then comforted her, "The doctor said that Dad is fine, but because Dad usually works very hard, his body has suffered a series of damages recently, and his immunity has dropped. It's best for him to rest well and try to reduce his workload. Mom, when Dad wakes up, can you talk to him? Health is the foundation of everything, and he really can't overwork himself."

Gu Zhiyao looked intently at her mature and sensible son and nodded happily, "Okay, Mom will talk to him."

“Dad is the pillar of our family and the head of the clan. Many people depend on him, so he must be well, especially so that Great-Grandma won’t worry.”

"Chenchen is such a good boy, Mom is so happy for you." Gu Zhiyao touched her son's little face, feeling genuinely happy.

Chenchen smiled sheepishly, "Mom, you flatter me. It's what I should do."

"Why don't you go and rest? You're still young and growing, you can't stay up late. If you get sick, it will affect your growth, so go to sleep. You can leave things here to Mom." Suddenly, Gu Zhiyao said.

"But Mom, you're still in your postpartum period, your body can't take it."

"It's okay, Mommy has recovered a lot. I've been resting well during this time, and there are only a few days left until the full moon. I'm really fine. Mommy knows her own body. Mommy wants to be healthy and stay with you as you grow up. Sweetie, go and rest."

After thinking for a moment, Chenchen nodded, "Mom, you keep an eye on things first. If you really can't hold on, call Sister Xiaocui or the others over, or you can call me too. Okay?"

"Okay, Mommy knows. Goodnight, my little darling." Gu Zhiyao kissed his forehead again, seemingly unable to tear herself away.

The little one, both shy and delighted, said, "Goodnight, Mommy. Mommy, I love you!"

Gu Zhiyao immediately smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her son, and said, "Yes, baby, Mommy loves you too!"

Chenchen chuckled, turning back every few steps before finally leaving.

Gu Zhiyao turned her attention back to He Yi. She first took a thermometer to check his temperature, which was 38.7 degrees Celsius. It seemed that his high fever had not subsided. So she picked up a hot towel and started wiping him down.

As she wiped his face, she looked at his handsome features, and images involuntarily flashed through her mind—the times she spent with him when she was pregnant with Chenchen and Niuniu.

Forgive me, she still retains these beautiful memories.

“Gu Zhiyao…” Just then, He Yi suddenly murmured.

Gu Zhiyao composed herself and looked at him quietly.

Is he calling her?

"Gu Zhiyao, please forgive me? I really can't live without you. What can I do to get your forgiveness and be with you again? I'm sorry, Gu Zhiyao," he continued to murmur in his sleep.

Gu Zhiyao's senses immediately surged, and her throat tightened and burned.

“I never meant to hurt you, but I still hurt you without even realizing it. I’m such a bastard. I know I should let go and stop bothering you, but I can’t do it. The thought of not having you by my side in the future makes me feel like life has no meaning anymore. Gu Zhiyao, please give me another chance, okay?” He Yi instinctively reached out and waved his hand wildly.

His eyes were closed, and he was still asleep, but he looked very anxious and flustered.

Gu Zhiyao involuntarily reached out and held his hand, tears streaming down her face.

He Yi, why are you doing this? Everyone is telling me to give you a chance, and I've thought about whether I should give you a chance, but I'm really scared.

Thinking back on those agonizing days, I still feel lingering fear. And I don't know if you truly love me, or if it's just because you can't have me, and you feel regret and resentment. Once you truly have me, will you eventually realize that you don't actually love me that much, and then grow tired of me?

Then I really don't know if I can make it through. I'm so ordinary, I don't have a good family background, I don't have stunning looks, and I don't know how to please a man, so I'm afraid you don't really love me, I dare not!

And then there's Yifei. I don't want to let him down, I don't want to hurt him. Since I can't choose him, then I'll stay single? Maybe that way he won't be so heartbroken. So, I can't agree to your request, He Yi. Even though I might still have feelings for you, we really can't be together anymore!

He Yi had calmed down and continued to sleep, but Gu Zhiyao could no longer calm down; her heart was surging and her thoughts were like a surging tide.

Tears continued to stream down her face. After a while, she couldn't hold back any longer and got up to run out the door.

Back in her dorm room, she gasped for breath. Once she had calmed down a bit, she called Xiao Cui, "Go to He Shao's room and keep a close eye on him. If anything happens, remember to notify the doctor immediately, okay?"

Xiao Cui paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, Miss Gu, I'll be right there."

Gu Zhiyao hung up the phone and stared blankly around. She couldn't fall asleep that night.

As dawn broke, He Yi slowly woke up. He saw the figure guarding his bedside, and his eyes immediately lit up with joy. Just as he was about to call out, he realized that it was Xiao Cui!

Yeah, why is it Xiao Cui?

He clearly remembered that she was watching over him, that he saw her and talked to her a lot, and that she seemed to have replied to him.

Could it be a dream?

"Young Master He, you're awake? How are you feeling?" Xiao Cui asked hurriedly.

Once He Yi regained his composure, he said, "I'm fine. By the way, what's wrong with me?"

"You have a high fever. The doctor said it's because you got caught in the rain and have been working too hard lately, so you need to take care of yourself, Mr. He. Shall I take your temperature?"

With He Yi's permission, Xiao Cui picked up the thermometer to take his temperature.

Then she exclaimed happily, "37.8 degrees Celsius, it seems the fever has subsided, that's great!"

He Yi looked at her, who was beaming with joy, and asked, "Were you the one who stayed here all night? Was there no one else?"

Xiao Cui was taken aback, then said, "I'm not quite sure. At first, it was Young Master Chenchen who was looking after you, but later Miss Gu called and asked me to come and take care of you."

She called Xiao Cui over!

So she really did come?

Was she the one who wiped his face and body with a hot towel?

He Yi immediately jumped for joy and subconsciously got up.

"Young Master He, what's wrong? What do you need? Tell me, I'll help you."
