Li Tingyan drove the Li Family’s car, quickly taking Nianyang to Jingyi Hospital. The light in the operating room was on, and the Chu Family, along with Aunt Dong and that nurse, were all waiting outside. Chu Tianming and Yunrou were leaning on each other, quietly shedding tears, while Chu Huan was also sobbing with reddened eyes.
Chu Zhan appeared more composed, acting like the pillar of support for everyone, his eyes fixed on the operating room.
Upon hearing footsteps, he turned around and, seeing Nianyang, looked as if he had found a savior, stepping forward, "Tingyan, Nianyang, you’re here."
Li Tingyan directly asked, "What exactly happened? Wasn’t Grandpa Chu in a wheelchair? How did he fall down the stairs? How were you taking care of him?"
Chu Huan choked up as she said, "The old man has been able to control his body and get out of bed these past few days, so he practiced walking a few steps on the ground every day. Who knew an accident would happen today, and we just happened to not be home!"
Aunt Dong said anxiously and fearfully, "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have delayed time by going to the hospital to get medication because of a headache. I thought Old Man Chu could handle it alone, after all, he managed these past few days. Who would have thought he’d go upstairs to practice walking, and probably accidentally fell."
Why is it that every time something happens, Aunt Dong is involved?
You could call it an accident once, but this is the second time. Nianyang felt a suspicion growing inside her.
She recalled the previous incident with Luo Lanzhen, which was also a case of harm from within the family. However, what was there for anyone to harm an old man like Grandpa Chu?
"Didn’t you hire a nurse? Why didn’t the nurse take care of the old man?"
The nurse said anxiously and fearfully, "Old Man Chu’s medication ran out today, so I went out to buy some. It turned out that the pharmacies in this area were out of ginseng, so I had to take a bus to another area to buy it. It took time back and forth!"
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Nianyang furrowed her brow. Everything seemed to coincide and sounded quite natural, but there’s a saying: when something is so seamlessly natural that no flaw can be found, then someone must definitely be stirring things up behind the scenes!
Chu Tianming exclaimed regretfully, "It’s all my fault. I just had to go on a business trip this morning, leaving my dad to wait on the stairs for three hours before Aunt Dong found him. He must have been in so much pain. I’m such an unfilial son!"
Yunrou couldn’t help but sob, "I shouldn’t have gone to do those cosmetic treatments either. I haven’t done it in centuries, and who knew the one time I’d do it, Dad would get into trouble. In the past two months, Dad has been recovering so well on the medicine you prescribed, Nianyang, and he could even walk again. Who would have expected something like this today!"
Someone who hasn’t done beauty treatments in centuries, why did she go today, and then this happened on her return.
Nianyang became suspicious and turned to look at Chu Huan, "What about you? Why weren’t you at home?"
Chu Huan instinctively felt a bit guilty, but then quickly said, "I went with my mom to get beauty treatments, Gu Nianyang. What do you mean by asking so many questions? We asked you here to help save my grandpa, and you’re acting like you’re accusing us, making it seem like our family harmed Grandpa Chu!"
Chu Zhan raised his voice harshly and said, "Chu Huan, shut up. Nianyang is here to save my grandpa. She’s our family’s savior. It’s because of her that my grandpa got better. Whatever she says is right. When it comes to my grandpa, none of us in the family have the right to speak. Only she does!"
