Aunt Jiang was not around, the ready-made water was out of reach, and there was no one else here to help him. Uncle Jiang felt very regretful and shed a few tears in regret.
At this point, everything can only be explained as retribution.
If he had not helped the Jiang family to commit atrocities, Jiang Xiaoluo would not have ignored him now, and he would not have fallen into such a miserable situation.
It’s all retribution…it’s all retribution!
Whenever he closed his eyes now, he could see Jiang Xiaoluo as a child, hugging her knees and looking at him pleadingly, but he ignored her time and time again.
It’s all retribution… all of it!
Uncle Jiang couldn't bear the inner torment anymore, so he got out of bed, stumbled out of the ward, and disappeared into the night.
The nurse on duty was dozing off and no one noticed he had left until the nurse was woken up by another patient's family member.
"Nurse, please go and check on me. The old man in the bed next to mine hasn't come back all night."
The nurse rushed to check, and her face turned pale with fright when she saw the empty bed. She quickly notified others to get up and look for the patient.
At the same time, notify Aunt Jiang and other contacts.
The hospital couldn't contact Aunt Jiang, so they had to contact Tiezhu. He had accompanied Aunt Jiang at the time, and all the information left were his.
Zhao Tiezhu received a call in the middle of the night. He subconsciously comforted Jiang Xiaoluo before answering the call.
"Who?"
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhao Tiezhu?"
"I am."
"This is XX Hospital. I want to ask you if the patient you brought here today went home without permission? The surveillance showed that he left the hospital alone half an hour ago."
Zhao Tiezhu was so frightened by this that he lost all his sleepiness. "Are you saying that he left on his own?"
"Yes, so we want to ask, has the patient arrived home safely?"
"No! Send someone to continue looking, I'll be there soon."
Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang stayed in a hotel when they came here, so they couldn't have gone back to where they lived before.
Zhao Tiezhu decided to go there in person. If something really happened, it would be difficult to explain to Jiang Xiaoluo.
However, Jiang Xiaoluo had been awakened by his movements. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhao Tiezhu thought that he was going out and couldn't hide it, so he told the truth: "Your father is missing."
“What? How could this happen!”
Jiang Xiaoluo's sleepiness disappeared and she sat up in surprise, "Isn't he accompanied by someone?"
"I don't know the specific situation. I have to go over and take a look. I'll go over now. You stay at home with your daughter."
Zhao Tiezhu wanted to change his clothes but was stopped by Jiang Xiaoluo.
"I'll go, you stay home with your daughter."
Zhao Tiezhu was worried, but Jiang Xiaoluo insisted on letting her go.
"He's my dad after all. If he's missing, I have to go find him." Jiang Xiaoluo bit her lower lip. "If you're worried, I'll ask my sister to go with me."
Jiang Xiaoluo found Liu Jin. Although Liu Jin was asleep, he agreed to go to the hospital with her to find someone when he heard the reason.
Zhao Tiezhu stayed at home with Qiqi.
They rushed to the hospital quickly and saw Aunt Jiang, who was in a state of panic.
Jiang Xiaoluo stepped forward, grabbed her hand and asked, "Where's my dad? Where did my dad go?"
"I don't know!" Aunt Jiang answered confidently, "I was sleeping in the hotel, how would I know where he went!"
"You left him alone in the hospital and went back to the hotel to sleep. Do you still have a conscience?"
Jiang Xiaoluo was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She looked at Aunt Jiang with red eyes, "It's not enough that you abused me, you also abused my dad. Don't you know how serious his cerebral hemorrhage is?"
There were several nurses and security guards watching around. Aunt Jiang felt a little embarrassed, but also very angry.
"You're blaming me? It's because you refused to take care of us in our old age that your father felt there was no hope in life and passed away! If anything happens to your father, you won't have an easy life either. You are the culprit."
Aunt Jiang put all the blame on Jiang Xiaoluo, clearing herself of all blame, and even mentioned the 100,000 yuan.
"I see. Your father must have been mad at you and left. He's going to find you to argue with you."
Seeing that Aunt Jiang's words were getting more and more outrageous, Liu Jin immediately interrupted them.
"That's enough. It's useless for you to keep quarreling. The person won't come back. It's more important to find him first."
Liu Jin pondered for a moment and analyzed, "He hasn't recovered from his cerebral hemorrhage yet, and he has difficulty moving, so he must be near the hospital. Let's go look for him in the alleys nearby first. If we can't find him, we can call the police."
"good."
Aunt Jiang was planning to slack off and was about to go to sleep when Jiang Xiaoluo grabbed her and asked her to look for someone together.
"You go with me!"
They split into two groups. Jiang Xiaoluo and Liu Jin looked for an area with many alleys, while Aunt Jiang only looked for a small area.
Walking on the dark road, Jiang Xiaoluo couldn't help but say to Liu Jin: "I regret it so much. I should have replied to the message when I saw it. It only takes me less than a minute to reply. But I didn't want to..."
Jiang Xiaoluo shed two tears, and Liu Jin quickly comforted her: "You didn't expect that he would disappear at that time. Don't think too much about it, let's find someone first."
"Um……"
It was still dark at that time and the alley was pitch black. Jiang Xiaoluo was scared when she saw it. She couldn't imagine where Uncle Jiang would stay with his sick body.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard a gasp in the alley.
There would be no noise without reason in the middle of the night, so they held each other's hands and walked in to check, and it turned out to be Uncle Jiang!
Seeing Jiang Xiaoluo coming, Uncle Jiang quickly covered his face and said, "Why are you here? Go away, I don't need you to care about me."
"I don't want to care about you, but the hospital called us, can we still care?"
Jiang Xiaoluo tried to pull him up in frustration, but found that he was covered in mud and his clothes were soaked.
"How could you—"
Jiang Xiaoluo looked at him in astonishment at his miserable appearance. Uncle Jiang wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
"I just wasn't paying attention when I walked. You guys should go quickly. I can go back by myself."
As if to prove that he could do it, Uncle Jiang tried to take a few steps to show her, but he fell straight to the ground.
If Liu Jin and Jiang Xiaoluo hadn't quickly helped him up, he would have fallen and had a bloody head.
"Stop making trouble and come back to the hospital with me."
Jiang Xiaoluo couldn't bear it, but didn't want him to see it, so she sent him back to the hospital with a cold face.
"Xiao Luo, please don't worry about me. I am in this state because of my own fault. I don't want to drag you down. Please go back."
Uncle Jiang was so anxious that he tried to pry Jiang Xiaoluo's hand away, but Jiang Xiaoluo growled, "If you really don't want to burden me, don't come to me! Now that you've come to me, what's the point of saying these things? Go back to the hospital and get treatment. Only when you're cured and leave here, you really don't want to burden me!"
Uncle Jiang had never seen her lose her temper so badly, and was immediately frightened, so he followed them back to the hospital obediently.
Aunt Jiang had already looked around and came back. When she saw Uncle Jiang with them, she immediately glared at him.
"Why are you running around? Don't you think you're trouble enough?"
