"Chaoyan." Duke North''s eyes were slightly opened as he spoke to Gu Chaoyan. He held Gu Chaoyan''s hands tightly, refusing to let it go.


    He was just wondering if he was really sick to a certain degree, would she not leave him alone or would she ignore him and leave directly. But Chaoyan was still checking on him. He was still of some importance in her heart, wasn''t he?


    Duke North smiled and felt moved.


    Gu Chaoyan was so startled by the sudden grip. She had not realized what was happening. It was not after a long while did she realize what happened. She withdrew her hands, and took a few steps backwards from the bed.


    She was extremely unhappy, as she walked towards Zhou Huaijin.


    Zhou Huaijin came to her as well.


    The Saint Divine Land was an opennd, but they focused a lot upon manners, especially in a ce like the capital, where manners yed an even more important role.


    No one would have expected that Duke North would do something like this.


    Including Zhou Huaijin.


    He held Chaoyan in his arms directly and said to Gu Chaoyan with a look of care. "Did you get frightened?"


    Chaoyan was startled because she was shocked by that sudden grip.


    He looked furious by this point.


    He respected the deceased Duke North and had been taking care of Duke North Mansion all this time. Duke North was offending him all the time, yet he was still taking care of Duke North Mansion. However… Duke North was not thankful at all.


    He treated Duke North and Duke North Mansion in the most respectful way, but Duke North always caused trouble for Chaoyan.


    This time, he was going to rify the whole thing.


    Zhou Huaijin wasforting Gu Chaoyan, but the others were all shocked by what had just happened, including Madame Duke North, and Mrs. Duke North.


    She had been married to Duke North for a while, and Duke North treated her with respect, yet she felt that Duke North was estranging her.


    She thought that it was probably because Duke North had never been with any girl before so hecked the knowledge in this aspect. She thought that such an estrangement would disappear very soon after they spent more time together.


    However, now… She understood everything.


    Duke North did notck the knowledge of being with girls. Duke North just did not love her, instead he loved Lady Chaoyan.


    He was still mumbling her name when he was ina.


    Mrs. Duke North looked at Gu Chaoyan who was being consoled by Lord Huai, and it made her feel even more annoyed.


    Why? Why was she consoled and remembered?


    She was so jealous.


    Gu Chaoyan felt very annoyed inwardly since she was offended in this way.


    She took Zhou Huaijin''s hands and started to walk outside, deciding to leave Duke North Mansion.


    Zhou Huaijin followed her.


    Seeing that, Madame Duke North understood that Lady Chaoyan refused to continue with the medical examination, so she caught up with her.
