Chapter 983: Better Than His Birth Mom

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi and Su Li rode back in the Gao family’s car, just as they had arrived earlier. Once seated, Gu Zi felt a twinge of embarrassment and turned to the driver.

“I told you earlier that you didn’t need to wait for us. You could have gone back first. This is too much trouble for you,” she said apologetically.

The driver kept his eyes on the road, his tone respectful but firm.

“Mrs. Su, you are someone our madam holds in very high regard. Since she specifically instructed me to bring you to the hospital, it’s only natural that I see it through to the end. Don’t feel bad about it. It’s no trouble for me at all. The Gao family has done so much for me, after all.”

The Gao family was indeed prestigious, but not every member of the family carried the same weight. The driver was well aware that his position as the Gao family’s chauffeur was thanks to his distant relation to the Gaos. It was a good job—one he had no intention of jeopardizing.

Given how highly Mr. and Mrs. Gao regarded Gu Zi and her family, he, too, knew better than to show any sign of negligence or displeasure.

Seeing that the driver was adamant, Gu Zi didn’t press the matter further. Instead, her gaze shifted to Su Li, who sat unusually quiet beside her.

He hadn’t said a single word since they left the hospital—a stark contrast to his usual chatty and lively demeanor. Gu Zi couldn’t help but wonder if the events earlier had stirred up some unpleasant memories for him.

Reaching out, she gently rubbed his forehead and spoke softly.

“Don’t dwell on unhappy thoughts, sweetheart. Let the bad memories stay in the past, okay?”

Su Li finally lifted his eyes to meet hers. His expression was solemn, and after a long pause, he spoke in a low voice.

“Mom, it’s not that I’m unhappy. It’s just… I feel like this whole thing might be my fault.”

Gu Zi blinked in surprise.

“Your fault? What makes you think that?”
