At that thought, Shi Guang found no other excuse she could use to blame him anymore. Turning away, she headed toward the kitchen right away. One might as well forget it—she’d just explain things to grandma personally after going to the hospital later on.
Just as her soup was still boiling, her phone rang.
Shi Guang freed a single hand and took her phone out from her pocket.
The moment the call connected, her aunt’s worried voice sounded out, “Shi Guang, hurry and come to the hospital! Grandma took a fall and she’s in the emergency room right now!”
Clang!
The thermal flask she was holding in her other hand fell onto the ground, and the soup spilled all over the place. Shi Guang’s face was frightfully pale. Unable to care about anything more, she sprinted outside as fast as she could.
Lu Yanchen had just started the car outside the villa when Shi Guang rushed over and slapped on his window. The lock of the car opened when Shi Guang bolted in right away and pleaded, “H-Hospital! Please send me to the hospital now!”
The moment Lu Yanchen saw the way she was right now, he knew without asking that something must have happened to grandma.
But, hadn’t grandma just said that it was a routine check-up when he sent her back yesterday?
“What happened to grandma?” He asked as he pressed on the pedal and drove off.
“She fell. It seems serious,” Shi Guang was really stressed right now as she frowned, her emotions all mixed up.
Grandma was getting on with age, and her body was not exactly in the best condition. For her to fall now… Things would usually get really serious if old people were to fall over. And by the tone of her aunt, it was clear that the injury wasn’t light.
Please, God! You must bless grandma and let nothing happen to her!
The moment the car stopped, Shi Guang rushed to open the door and bolted right into the hospital. Lu Yanchen looked at her back view. Sitting in the car silently for a split moment, he opened his door and chased after her.
The long corridors were filled with the smell of antiseptic. With the red light still on above the doors of the emergency room, Shi Guang was speaking to her aunt—Mo Ziying—outside.
“How did grandma fall?” Her expression was totally frantic as her voice quivered, “When you called me, didn’t you say that she had gone to bed?”
“I went out to call you. The moment I went back in, I found her lying on the floor of the bathroom unconscious.”
Shi Guang’s body convulsed in an intense jerk.
She could not fathom how… her grandma, who was always careful while walking, would suddenly fall out of the blue!
She must have been worried sick and not in the right state of mind after thinking about the words of Qiao Yuwei, and thus…
Shi Guang’s nails dug deep into her palm as her face turned white as a sheet, tears brimming around her reddened eyes.
She was feeling so guilty that she wanted to bang her head on the wall and commit suicide!
The sounds of footsteps drifted by her ears. She turned around—Why had he come too?
He met with her gaze once before shifting it away. Looking at Mo Ziying, he stepped forth and greeted softly, “Auntie.”
Mo Ziying nodded her head. “You’re here too.”
Shi Guang wanted to thank Lu Yanchen for bringing her to the hospital, but when she saw her auntie by the side, she contained herself and merely explained, “He brought me here.”
At that moment, the doors of the emergency room were pushed open—the doctor was out.
Shi Guang rushed forth right away. “Doctor, how is my grandma?”
The doctor removed his face mask while looking at her solemnly. “This fall by her was rather… severe. Other than fractures in her legs, there’s also a huge blood clot in her brain. We must operate on her immediately to remove it. But, because she’s old, and coupled with the fact that she’s got other illnesses and problems to begin with, the chances of her tiding through it are simply way too low…”
Shi Guang asked about another possibility, “What if we don’t operate?”
The doctor replied darkly, “Then… you guys can head in to see her one last time.”
*Oh. My. God. I didn’t expect this at all… wow… this is painful. *
