Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this point, Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao didn’t try to persuade him anymore. After asking for a small bed from the medical staff, he placed it beside Grandma Gu’s bed so that Grandpa Gu could rest at night.
As for Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao, they certainly wouldn’t leave. Su Han got a simple lounge in the hospital for them to stay in. Gu Wencheng asked Meng Nianyao to wash up first. When she came out, Gu Wencheng was nowhere to be seen in the lounge, so she hurried to look for him.
Meng Nianyao thought that Gu Wencheng had gone to see Grandma Gu, but Grandpa Gu was the only one in the ward reading the newspaper to Grandma Gu. She closed the door and looked elsewhere until she eventually found Gu Wencheng smoking in the emergency exit.
The corridor was filled with the choking smell of smoke. Meng Nianyao fanned herself and covered her nose as she walked over. Gu Wencheng turned his head when he heard her voice. “Why are you here?” You haven’t rested yet?”
“I just finished washing up and realized you weren’t there, so 1 came to look for you. “She stepped forward and pressed her hand against Gu Wencheng’s furrowed brows. “Don’t be afraid,” she whispered. “Grandma will be fine.”
“Meng Nianyao…” Gu Wencheng pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder.
He smelled strongly of tobacco, but Meng Nianyao didn’t care at that moment. She could sense Gu Wencheng’s panic. Grandma Gu was a very good elder; Meng Nianyao had known her for less than two months, but she was already so worried, so it had to be worse for Gu Wencheng, who had grown up with Grandma Gu.
“It’ll be fine. It’ll definitely be fine.” Meng Nianyao patted Gu Wencheng’s back. Any words seemed powerless at this moment, but it was better than nothing. At least there was still hope.
Gu Wencheng nodded and let go of her, his face not so gloomy anymore.
“Go and rest.I’ll be sad to see you so haggard tomorrow,” Meng Nianyao said as she looked up at him.
Gu Wencheng nodded, and the two returned to the ward. However, Meng Nianyao did not feel sleepy at all as she lay on the bed. She couldn’t fall asleep either, but her eyes were closed.
“Go to sleep. I’m fine.” Gu Wencheng planted a kiss on her head. Meng Nianyao closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. She didn’t know how long she had slept for, but when she woke up again, the room was still dark, yet the bed was already cold.
Meng Nianyao got up and put on her coat. She walked to Grandma Gu’s ward and quietly opened the door. Gu Wencheng sat inside, holding Grandma Gu’s hand without moving. Beside him, Grandpa Gu, who was sleeping, coughed, so Gu Wencheng got up and went to cover Grandpa Gu with the blanket.
Meng Nianyao gently closed the door and returned to the lounge.
In the morning, Meng Nianyao went to see Grandma Gu first. Then, she called the servants to ask them if breakfast was ready. After that, she measured Grandpa Gu’s blood sugar and gave him an insulin shot.
After the food arrived, Meng Nianyao let Grandpa Gu eat first. She washed the towel, wiped Grandma Gu’s face, and tidied her messy hair. Looking at Grandma Gu, who was usually amiable but now had a pale face, her eyes began to tear up again.
After Meng Nianyao finished wiping Grandma Gu’s face, Grandpa Gu had also returned from dinner. Grandpa Gu looked at her and said gently for the first time,”Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not hard. “Meng Nianyao shook her head.
Grandpa Gu didn’t say anything else and just told Meng Nianyao to go eat. Meng Nianyao responded and went outside. Gu Wencheng wasn’t there, however, and only one portion of breakfast was left untouched. She walked out of the ward and saw him standing at the corner of the corridor making a phone call, so she stood still and waited for him to finish the call before going over. “Let’s go eat first,” she said.
Gu Wencheng nodded and returned to the ward.
After breakfast, Su Han brought a few brain specialists over. They examined Grandma Gu and adjusted the treatment plans, all while Grandpa Gu listened from the side. When they were almost done discussing, he asked, “When will my wife wake up?”
The experts did not dare to speak up.
Su Han smiled and said to Grandpa Gu,”Grandpa, Grandma’s condition is not bad. Don’t worry too much.”
“I just want to know when she’ll wake up,” Grandpa Gu said.
Su Han didn’t know how to answer. Grandma Gu’s condition wasn’t very good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called Gu Wencheng yesterday and told him to inform his parents.
“Grandpa, Grandma will wake up in two or three days,” Gu Wencheng answered.
When Meng Nianyao heard this, she didn’t know why, but her intuition told her that something was wrong. However, Grandpa Gu did not seem to suspect anything. He nodded. “Alright, then let her rest for a few days. She’s exhausted.” After saying that, he sat on the bench and continued to accompany Grandma Gu..
