Her condition was severe this time, and it took her a whole night in the hospital to regain consciousness.
Upon opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the stark white ceiling.
Then she heard her grandfather’s concerned voice: “Yufei, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?”
Turning her head, Jian Yufei saw her grandfather sitting by her bed, and standing behind him was Ruan Tianling.
Their gazes met, one deep, the other serene like water.
She withdrew her gaze, smiled at her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I’m fine, I’ve made you worry.”
Ruan Anguo kindly smiled and said, “It’s all right if you’re fine, the doctor also said that you’ll be okay after resting for a few days. Your health is the most important. ”
“Hmm, I know.” Jian Yufei nodded.
Her grandfather chatted with her for a little while longer before she urged him to go back and rest. She felt guilty for troubling her elderly grandfather to visit her.
“That’s fine, Aunt Li is outside, she’ll be taking care of you these next few days.
Your grandpa will come and check on you tomorrow. If you need anything, call Tianling. If he doesn’t do what you ask, you just tell me.” The old man said, while giving Ruan Tianling a pointed look to make sure he understood he was backing Yufei.
The latter’s face darkened with frustration.
It was only in front of his grandfather that he would back down.
Jian Yufei nodded: “Um, I know, grandpa, you can go now.”
“Okay, then I’m going.” Ruan Anguo chuckled as he was about to leave, just when a couple pushed open the door to the ward.
The two middle-aged people entered.
The woman rushed to Jian Yufei’s bedside immediately after entering and asked with concern, “Yufei, how did you get sick? What’s wrong?”
“Mom, how come you’re here?” Jian Yufei asked in surprise, then she turned to the middle-aged man and gently said, “Uncle, you’re here too.”
Her stepfather, Sun Zhaohui, nodded with a smile, holding a bag filled with apples in his hand.
“Yufei, these are the fruits that we bought for you, remember to eat more.” He placed the fruits on the table, then went over to greet Ruan Anguo and Ruan Tianling.
Wang Daizhen, Jian Yufei’s mother, also greeted the grandfather and grandson.
Both Ruan Anguo and Ruan Tianling were very courteous to them, showing no signs of looking down on them.
Since Jian Yufei’s parents had arrived, Ruan Anguo decided to postpone his departure and stay a little longer with them.
Sun Zhaohui enthusiastically engaged Ruan Anguo and Ruan Tianling in conversation on the sofa, while Wang Daizhen sat next to Jian Yufei asking about her condition.
Jian Yufei answered all her questions, but she concealed the reason she got sick, only saying she fell ill because she was feeling unwell and had caught a chill.
Seeing that her face was pale, Wang Daizhen said affectionately, “Yufei, why don’t I stay and take care of you these next few days.”
Even if there was someone else to take care of her, no one could be more meticulous than her biological mother.
Before Jian Yufei could reply, her stepfather suddenly objected, “No, we’re busy at home. If you stay, the house will be in chaos. Moreover, there is a maid taking care of Yufei here. It would be of no use even if you stayed.”
Wang Daizhen was taken aback, she didn’t dare contradict her husband, and could only guiltily say to Jian Yufei, “Yufei, your uncle is right. We’re really busy at home these days. Besides, your brother needs someone to look after him too.
I’m sorry I can’t take care of you, don’t take it to heart.”
“Mom, what’s keeping everyone so busy at home?” Jian Yufei asked, unconcerned about the fact that her mother couldn’t stay and take care of her..
