Chapter 1042: We do not owe each other anymore.

“Sure…”

Noting his solemn expression, the woman nodded and slowly recounted how she had met the elderly mentor.

Thereafter, she discovered her best friend and the man looking at her with shock.

“D*mn! You didn’t join that highly exclusive study group of Harvard, did you?”

“Huh? What’s that?”

Her best friend’s words caused her to blink in confusion.

She only realized then that she had shallow knowledge of the mentor and chatmates in that study group!

“Gosh! Are you telling me that you actually have no idea about the group?”

Tang Xiaoyu gave it to the other woman. Trusting a group of people without knowing their backgrounds—this was really her best friend’s style!

“Your mentor happens to be a great man. Go to Harvard. Your life shouldn’t be as sad, and tumultuous, as it is right now. You deserve the best.”

Compared to his girlfriend’s shock, Gu Zhengrong was rather calm following his initial surprise after he heard the recount of the woman in bed.

“Huh? En…”

Even though she did not know much about the so-called highly exclusive study group that this pair spoke of, she could still tell from their reaction that her professor there was a formidable fellow.

As for her chatmates, they were likely formidable individuals as well.

“Let me just say once that your luck is really high for you to have such a fortuitous encounter while only surfing the net…”

Her best friend remarked with a modicum of shock regarding her chanced encounter.

“This isn’t all about luck but also her ability. If it’s just luck, how could she catch the eyes of that professor? You should know that that professor isn’t…”

The man paused and raised his brow as he recalled the rumors at Harvard Business School.

That educator was not called ‘king’ for nothing; on top of having a high status and special identity, he was famous for how he operated.

Therefore, Pei Ge could be said to have something special, which caught that figure’s eye!

At this thought, feelings of pride rose in him.

This was his ‘angel’—the girl in his heart.

“Heh… What kind of good luck is that? If it could be counted as luck, I’d rather use all of it to trade for mom’s life…”

At once, the air in the room, which was rather light-hearted, became grim, and the relaxed expression on the couple’s faces froze.

“Don’t worry. Auntie’s condition will be treated. Dr. Conrad is one of the best neurosurgeons in the world, so don’t worry…”

“I know.”

She nodded in response to her best friend’s comforting words before raising her head to look at the man.

“When can we arrange for mom to be transferred to Germany?”

She wanted it to be sooner so that her mom could receive treatment fast. That way, the latter could recover and wake up from her coma as soon as possible.

“The fastest would be the day after tomorrow.”

Seeing the woman’s gaze fixed on him, a sense of happiness rose in his heart.

While he managed to prevent his mouth from curling upward, he failed to hide his emotions from his girlfriend, who had been watching him closely.

Looking at how happy he was just from her best friend’s attention, Tang Xiaoyu felt her chest tighten. It was as if a large stone were clogging her throat.

Even though she had told herself not to get upset and that she should set her feelings aside, as well as be more understanding toward him, she would be filled with jealousy still every time she saw the man smiling because of her best friend.

She only managed to suppress her indignance after taking in a few deep breaths.

“The day after tomorrow…” Frowning a little after she heard his reply, Pei Ge mumbled to herself as if in contemplation.

“Do you think that it’s too slow?” The man spoke apologetically when he saw her frown. “That’s already the fastest speed we can muster. After all, your mom can’t take just any regular plane due to her condition. She needs to take an aircraft for transporting people that need medical assistance while being accompanied by physicians to reduce health risk.”

Seeing how serious the man looked as he explained this to her, she felt warm inside.

“Thank you, Zhengrong.”

When he heard her thank him while calling his name, the man felt an unprecedented heart palpitation.

Pound, pound!

He looked tenderly at her as his heart beat uncontrollably. “It’s nothing…”

“I didn’t think that it’s too slow; I just…” The woman paused a little. It definitely was not because of her mother but because… “I was just thinking that it doesn’t leave me a lot of time to say goodbye to my friends.”

The day after tomorrow… left her with two days at most…

She was really about to leave this place that she loved…

People who loved her, disliked her, hated her, and did not love her… There were also those she loved and hated. She had to say goodbye to them for the time being…

“Ge Ge, you’re not thinking of telling that jerk about your plan to leave, right? I think that you need not pay any attention to him!”

Looking at the reminiscing look on her face, Tang Xiaoyu frowned deeply.

“No matter what, I did trouble Ji Ziming with my mother’s condition.”

She lowered her face, her long lashes covering the sadness in her eyes.

“What did trouble him! You should keep in mind that you don’t owe that jerk anything! In fact, he’s the one indebted to you!”

Even though her boyfriend did not say anything, it was clear from his expression that he agreed with her.

“No matter what, we… don’t owe each other anything…”

Even though he lied to her, she would leave with his child, so they did not owe each other anything anymore…
