Chapter 575 Acting
Zheng Lianxue reached out and took out a tissue to wipe the tears from her face. She felt so wronged that she choked up and said, "Grandpa asked me to leave you like I did five years ago and gave me some money. I felt so wronged at the time that I begged him not to let me leave with Nian Nian, but Grandpa was very determined."
Having said this, Zheng Lianxue paused for a moment and continued, "Sihan, five years ago, it was Grandpa who asked me to leave you. I had no choice. Now he still wants to do it. He said that my existence affects your and Xiaojiu's lives. I think if I leave, everyone will be happy, so I will leave."
"I admit that I took the money my grandfather gave me this morning. He told me to take it and leave. Although I was reluctant, I thought I would still have to support Nian Nian after I left, so I took the money and left."
"Was my dad okay when you left?" Gu Wei asked.
Zheng Lianxue nodded: "Yes, when I left, he was still sitting on the sofa."
Everyone was puzzled. Could it really be an accident? When the old man stood up, he suddenly fell down and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and a stroke?
If that's the case...
On the other side, it was already past three in the afternoon when Fu Jiu woke up. He was awakened by hunger. The bedroom was quiet. The girl slowly sat up and got out of bed, then went to the living room. There was no one there.
Fu Jiu felt something was amiss and was about to take out her phone to call Gu Sihan when Su He rushed in from outside.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake!"
"Where are all the people? Why can't I see anyone?"
"They all went to the hospital."
Fu Jiu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Grandpa fell and is in the hospital now. I came back to get some things and will go back later."
Fu Jiu was a little shocked: "What? Hospitalized? How could he be so careless?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll talk to you later. There's no point explaining now." After saying that, he went upstairs to pack up, then hurried back downstairs. Fu Jiu quickly said, "Xiao He, I'll go with you!"
"You're injured now, why are you going out? My brother asked you to rest at home."
"I'm worried. You're all in the hospital taking care of grandpa, so how can I rest at home? Besides, I'm really worried about grandpa's condition!"
"Take it away. When my brother scolds me, you'll have to explain yourself!"
Fu Jiu nodded.
It was around four in the afternoon when the two arrived at the hospital. Zheng Lianxue had already left. As they reached the door, they heard Gu Wei say, "Xiao San, do you really believe that this matter has nothing to do with Zheng Lianxue?"
"Auntie, don't worry, I will find out everything!"
Su He pushed the door open and the first thing he said was, "How is Grandpa? Is he awake?"
When Gu Sihan looked up and saw Fu Jiu standing at the door, his brows furrowed. "Why did you bring her here?"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door. He directly picked up the girl like a princess and placed her on the sofa beside him. He said with a serious face: "You are injured and you still don't let me worry about you. Why are you running around everywhere?"
Although the words are reproachful, the tone is full of care and pampering!
"I came here on my own, it has nothing to do with Xiao He. How is Grandpa?"
"Still unconscious, don't worry, it's okay!"
"How did you fall?" As soon as the girl finished speaking, her stomach growled. Fu Jiu said awkwardly, "I didn't eat, so..."
"Let's go, I'll take you out to eat!"
Fu Jiu shook her head: "No, Grandpa is in the hospital. How can I... This is not good!"
Su He on the side said: "I'm going to buy food for my sister-in-law!"
After saying that, he left the ward.
Gu Sihan sat beside her and reached out to hold the girl's hand. Fu Jiu knew that although Gu Sihan looked cold and strong on the surface, he was still very fragile inside. She reached out to hug Gu Sihan's waist and rested her head on his chest: "Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine, don't worry!"
Gu Sihan hummed.
"I'll be with you, don't be sad!"
Gu Sihan still hummed.
Seeing the loving couple, Gu Wei felt relieved. She gave Su Huaijin a look, and the two of them quietly left the ward.
"Xiaojiu, I still have you, right?"
Fu Jiu nodded: "Of course, you still have me, your aunt, your uncle, your grandfather, and oh, my grandmother!"
Hearing the word "grandma", Gu Sihan's expression changed slightly, but he never said anything, just hugged the girl tightly in his arms.
Gu Sihan and Fu Jiu stayed with the old man in the hospital for as many days as he was in a coma. Fu Jiu happened to be injured as well, so it was convenient to change the dressings in the hospital.
Gu Wei suggested that the couple go home and rest, as it was New Year's Day and it wasn't good to stay in the hospital every day, but Gu Sihan insisted.
Fu Jiu also felt sorry for Gu Sihan. These past few days, Gu Sihan had been the one taking care of him. Gu Huai hadn't been seen since New Year's Eve, and no one knew where he had gone.
"Third Master, why don't you take a rest? I'll wipe Grandpa's face!"
"Let me do it!" Gu Sihan tried to get up, but was held down by Fu Jiu. "I'll do it. You rest. You didn't rest last night!"
Hearing this, Gu Sihan smiled and felt very sweet in his heart.
Fu Jiu stood up to fetch some water to wipe the old man's face. The nurse had been helping out with the matter over the past few days, but yesterday she said something happened at home this morning and she might not be back until the afternoon, so this matter now fell on Fu Jiu's shoulders.
As she washed the old man's face with a towel, she whispered, "Grandpa, you have to get better soon so we can go home!"
But all she got in response was the steady breathing and the ventilator beside her.
After Fu Jiu washed her face, she wiped the old man's hands and noticed that his right hand was still tightly clenched and he couldn't pry it open no matter what he did. Fu Jiu spoke again, "Grandpa, I'm Xiaojiu. I'll help you wash your hands. Please let go of your hands!"
The old man seemed to have heard the girl's voice and slowly loosened his grip. Suddenly, something fell from his palm. Fu Jiu picked it up from the ground and saw that it was a pearl button.
Because I've been holding it tightly these past few days, there are already serious marks on the palms of my hands.
Fu Jiu was filled with doubts. She put away her buttons and continued wiping the old man's hands, then his feet.
By the time he finished all this, Gu Sihan had regained consciousness. Seeing Fu Jiu carrying the water, he stepped forward and said softly, "Let me do it!"
Fu Jiu nodded: "Third Master, how could Grandpa fall down?"
Gu Sihan glanced at the old man lying on the hospital bed and said lightly: "It should be caused by high blood pressure!"
"But……"
"What's wrong?"
"Did Grandpa meet someone the day he fainted? Or did he fall down in the bedroom alone?"
Gu Sihan thought about it and did not tell anyone about Zheng Lianxue's visit. He just said that the old man fell alone in the bedroom.
I didn't say it out loud because I didn't want Fu Jiu to have any wild thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Fu Jiu became even more confused.
