“Dad…”
Xie Xuning said warmly, “Isn’t it so? Don’t worry, my dear.”
The door of the operating room opened again, and the medical staff pushed her grandmother out. The bed was covered with a transparent isolation net.
Through the isolation net, Ye Tianxin saw her grandma’s face. She wanted to reach out and touch her, but she couldn’t.
Her grandma was already old. What if Ye Tianxin accidentally infected her grandma?
The three of them watched her grandma get sent into the intensive care unit. They stood outside while watching the medical staff working in the ward of the intensive care unit.
The cold medical instrument made a beeping sound.
The tension within Ye Tianxin’s heart was gradually relieved.
The next 72 hours were what mattered. She hoped her grandma could hold on and wake up.
“Little Uncle, brother, Tianxin, you all go back first. I will personally watch over Grandma.”
Qie Wenyang saw that Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning’s bodies were covered in blood, though Xie Xuning’s dark clothes didn’t make him look as if he had just murdered someone.
Ye Tianxin’s dress looked very bloody; the blood dried up and dyed the dress into a dark brown color.
Her hands and face were also covered with traces of dried blood.
“Especially you, Tianxin. You must at least go back and change your clothes first. If not, grandma will worry when she wakes up and sees you like this.”
When Xie Xuning saw this, he turned around and said to Tianxin, “Alright, Yangzi, thank you very much.”
Wenyang was a little tired, so he said, “Little Uncle, we’re all a family. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Let’s go.”
Xie Xuning took Ye Tianxin’s hand, wanting to take her out of the ward.
How could Ye Tianxin want to leave if her grandma’s fate was uncertain?
Her feet seemed to be filled with lead. She just stood there while quietly looking at her grandmother through the glass wall.
“I want to stay and see grandma through the glass wall. Can I?”
Xie Xuning, who has always been doting, suddenly yelled at Ye Tianxin, “Tianxin, aren’t you being willful? Grandma’s body is important, but is your body not important? Have you ever thought about if grandma wakes up and sees that you’re not feeling well? How do you think she’d feel? Xiao Cang, carry her away…”
Ye Tianxin was no longer a child. Even if Xie Xuning was her biological father, it wouldn’t have been appropriate for him to carry his daughter.
Li Qingcang hugged Ye Tianxin, then lowered his head and kissed Ye Tianxin’s eyebrows.
“Be good and do as he says. Your grandma is important to you, but you are also very important to us.”
Ye Tianxin closed her eyes deeply. Listening to Li Qingcang’s heartbeat helped her gradually calm down.
“I want to see Gu Yancheng.”
“Now?”
“Yes.”
“Alright.”
By the time they left the hospital, it was already late at night.
Li Qingcang went to the police station with Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin stood outside the detainment room. She looked at Li Qingcang and whispered, “Brother Li, can I speak to Gu Yancheng alone?”
After being silent for a while, Li Qingcang turned around and walked outside.
“Gu Yancheng.”
Gu Yancheng heard someone call his name. He opened his eyes and saw Ye Tianxin with her hair disheveled and covered in blood. He almost thought he was hallucinating.
“Ye Tianxin, what are you doing here?”
“I heard that it was you who ran my grandma over. Is that true?”
