Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578: Chapter 606 Fasting

Wang Guihua started crying: "Are you blaming me? I truly want what’s best for you. You can find someone better."

"I only love her. You’ve scared away the woman I love, and now you’re forcing me to find someone else? Sorry, I’m feeling down and really have no energy to persuade you anymore. Do whatever you want." Gu Juntao closed his eyes to sleep, completely ignoring Wang Guihua crying beside him.

This scene persisted for nearly five days, with Gu Juntao just lying in bed, only going to the bathroom and nowhere else, not eating and growing weaker day by day.

Initially, Wang Guihua was defiant, thinking, "Let’s see how stubborn you can be!" But seeing her son truly on a hunger strike, neglecting his work, seemingly ready to give everything up, she was completely taken aback.

She brought in a bowl of noodles, handed it to him, and pleaded in a low voice, "Please eat, I’m begging you, eat a little for your mom."

Gu Juntao said nothing, keeping his eyes closed.

"Son, mom was wrong, I truly was wrong!" Wang Guihua cried out, "I’m begging you! Please have a meal!"

Gu Junming silently remained unresponsive.

Wang Guihua was helpless, worried that her son’s continued refusal to eat would pose a life-threatening risk after enough time had passed. She could only turn to her husband, Gu Zishan, who had just been discharged from the hospital. He was now sitting by the side, studying chess records, meeting with Yang Dongfeng daily, occasionally strolling in the park or playing chess, feeling rather calm, but this peaceful life was soon disrupted.

Upon seeing Wang Guihua arrive, his expression soured: "What for? To reconcile with me? I won’t agree!"

Wang Guihua resentfully said, "I’m not here to reconcile! I came to ask you to check on our son."

"Gu Junming? He’s gone to another city, what’s happened?"

"I’m not talking about Gu Junming! Do you only have one son?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gu Zishan frowned at her, "What’s going on with you two? Did you bully your daughter-in-law again?"

Finding herself at a loss, Wang Guihua had to explain how she’d caused her son’s marriage to break up, resulting in the child being beaten.

"I didn’t mean it, that girl just doesn’t understand. You don’t know how young she is, so unruly, looking at me like she wishes she could kill me!"

Listening to her excuses, Gu Zishan suddenly erupted in anger, shouting, "Wang Guihua! That’s your son; if he doesn’t live well, what good will it do you? I get it, you saw their harmonious relationship and became envious, wanting to tether your son to you for life—how disgusting! Is it mental sickness?"

"I’m not sick... stop slandering me! I came from an intellectual background; when have I ever done such vile things? I just want what’s best for my son! I raised such an outstanding son, only to see him with a widow..."

"Regardless of whom he marries, you won’t be satisfied! You can’t bear to see your son happy with another woman!"

"That’s not true, I don’t!"

"Then what are you trying to do? Drive your son to death?" Gu Zishan coughed violently with rage: "You’re truly mad! Staying home all day, bullying your daughter-in-law, and your granddaughter, I must have been blind to marry you!"

Wang Guihua was so angry her chest hurt, clutching it as she wept: "No matter what, I never intended to harm my son. I know I’m wrong now, think of a way, or he’ll end up dead over time! I’m begging you, I’m willing to apologize to my daughter-in-law, just so he stops treating himself this way! I’ve meddled too much in his life, I’ll never do it again, but you won’t be with me, whom can I turn to?" She cried heartbreakingly, full of tears, truly pitiful.

Her son hasn’t eaten in days, how much can a mother eat under such circumstances? She was equally worn down.

Gu Zishan glared at Wang Guihua: "Now you understand?"
