Indeed, being a grandfather was not a first for him—Ou Yuze was his grandson.
However, he didn’t truly like Ou Yuze, not for any other reason than the fact that his mother had entered the Ou Family using him as leverage. And if there was one thing Ou Qichang loathed the most in life, it was being blackmailed by someone.
That was precisely why he had disliked him all these years.
But this child was different!
Not only was this child’s father his favorite son, but the child himself had been secretly born by his mother. If it weren’t for this incident coming to light, he wouldn’t have even known that the Ou Family had gained such a big grandson.
The old gentleman’s affection grew stronger, and holding the child, he saw that the "office" door was slightly ajar, so he pushed it open and entered, "Where’s your father?"
Ye Xiaobao blinked, "He should be inside with Mom. Do you want to talk to him, Grandfather? I’ll call him out."
The ICU required a sterile environment, one needed to wear sterile clothing, and even go through an air shower before entering. Outsiders were not allowed to enter so casually.
The old man understood this and thus didn’t insist on entering. Instead, he picked up the phone and dialed the inside line to the room, "Hello, Mucen, it’s Dad..."
"Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
The person on the phone rejected the offer emphatically and squarely.
The old man sighed, hugging his grandson, "Alright, then I’ll take Xiaobao back home for dinner, and we’ll bring yours to you later in the evening."
"You’re taking Xiaobao back?"
"Yes, since you’re not coming back, right? But I miss him. What’s the matter? Can’t a grandfather have a meal with his grandson?"
"It’s not that..." The voice on the phone paused for a moment.
Just when the old man thought he would agree, suddenly, the phone on the other end hung up. Then, there was the sound of footsteps inside, and momentarily after, the sound of the air shower began, and shortly after, a figure emerged from within.
"Alright, I’ll go back with you both!"
What a peculiar man. He just said he wasn’t going, but now he said he would?
Only Bai Tingfang, standing to the side, knew that her son was worried the child would be afraid and uncomfortable alone at Blue Mountain Villa, and that’s why he had left to accompany them.
Thinking about this, Bai Tingfang felt all kinds of discomfort and unease in her heart!
After changing, Xiaobao heard that his father would take him, and his little hand reached out, wanting to be carried by his father. And so, the grandfather, grandson, and two other family members left the ICU as dusk fell.
The moment the group left, the floor that had been cleared specifically for Ou Mucen to care for the patient became even quieter. The corridor was empty except for the lone figure at the nurse’s station, devoid of any other human presence.
From his office on the third floor, Ji Chengzhi saw everything on the monitor and dialed the phone to their location, "Is the young master not there anymore?"
The nurse nodded promptly, "He’s not here anymore. Just now, Chairman Dong came and took them all away, said they were going to have dinner."
That meant they were going to Blue Mountain Villa!
Hearing this, Ji Chengzhi immediately emerged from his office and quickly arrived at the floor, entering the ICU.
There was no other way; during this period, thinking that man would be here watching closely every day, he hadn’t been able to conduct any other examinations on the person in the ICU.
