Such a chilling statement, spoken by Ann no less, instantly sent a shiver down the spine of Old Madam Ye.
She followed Ann’s gaze towards the small window in the sick room, but there was no head to be seen at all.
She immediately moved closer to Ann, her eyes fixed on the small window, and instructed Lucy, "Go outside and take a look."
Lucy, also trembling with fear and cold sweat, reluctantly moved towards the entrance of the sick room.
It was said that children’s eyes were exceptionally clear and could see things that adults couldn’t.
Could it be that Young Lady had seen some kind of ghost or spirit?
Lucy’s mind conjured up countless scenes from horror movies, and with a trembling hand, she grasped the doorknob and cautiously opened the sick room door to take a look outside.
When she saw the figure standing by the side of the sick room door, she startled herself for a moment, trembling slightly.
Only then did she recognize who it was. She breathed a sigh of relief and weakly said, "Old Sir, it’s you..."
Upon hearing Lucy’s words, Old Madam Ye felt a wave of relief wash over her.
However, she also felt a bit angry and unhappily addressed the figure at the door, "Ye Yanzhi, if you’re here, why are you lurking outside?"
As soon as Ye Yanzhi heard the anger in her tone, he quickly walked into the sick room, saying, "I didn’t want to startle you."
Old Madam Ye furrowed her brows, "Your silence was what truly startled us!"
Ye Yanzhi walked towards the living room, noticing the expression on her face, which clearly showed that he had indeed startled her.
He promptly apologized, "It’s my fault, it’s my fault."
Lucy, having recovered from her fright, asked, "Old Sir, do you need me to rearrange lunch?"
Ye Yanzhi casually glanced at the remaining one-third of the food on the table and waved his hand, "No need."
"All right." Lucy tactfully left the sick room, gently closing the door behind her.
Even though he was in his daughter’s sick room, Ye Yanzhi behaved as if he were a guest in a strange place.
He stood stiffly, occasionally stealing glances at Ann sitting on the sofa, hastily averting his gaze, afraid that his eyes might frighten her.
Seeing this, Old Madam Ye helplessly glanced at him and said, "This is Ann."
"I know," Ye Yanzhi quickly replied.
She asked, "Then why are you acting so distant?"
Ye Yanzhi pursed his lips and, after a while, turned towards Ann, speaking cautiously and carefully, "Ann, I am your grandfather."
Compared to his awkwardness, Qin Sui’an didn’t have such complex emotions.
Her round, big eyes stared at him incessantly.
In a childish voice, she called out, "Hello, Grandfather!"
"Ah, hello," Ye Yanzhi’s face instantly lit up with a smile, no longer showing the nervous and solemn expression from a moment ago.
Qin Sui’an asked the question that had been on her mind, "Grandfather, why did you stand outside for so long without coming in?"
She had thought she had misheard, but it turned out there really was someone outside!
Old Madam Ye looked at Qin Sui’an in astonishment, "How did Ann know that you stood outside for a long time?"
She hadn’t noticed anyone approaching the sick room, so when Ann mentioned seeing a head on the window, it startled her.
Qin Sui’an touched her little ear, "Ann heard footsteps."
Ye Yanzhi’s expression was even more surprised than Old Madam Ye’s.
He walked so lightly, almost without making any sound, yet Ann had heard him!
Seeing his expression, Old Madam Ye understood that Ann’s words were not mistaken.
"Well then, explain to Ann why you stood outside for so long."
"Well... I...," Ye Yanzhi looked embarrassed, feeling quite awkward, "I didn’t dress up along the way, and I was afraid I looked too sloppy, so I borrowed a mirror from Jie Hansi at the last minute."
Old Madam Ye suddenly realized that he had been outside tidying up his appearance.
She chuckled, "That’s quite rare."
Ye Yanzhi blushed at her words, feeling a bit embarrassed, but luckily, his old face didn’t show it much.
Qin Sui’an understood.
Grandfather was just like a grandmother.
When her grandmother arrived at the hospital parking lot, she also looked in the mirror for a while before getting out of the car.
With the answer to the question in her heart, Qin Sui’an smiled, pursing her lips, and pointed to the food on the table.
"Grandfather, let’s eat."
"Very well," Ye Yanzhi quickly sat on the sofa and ate the food on the table.
Old Madam Ye handed over the half-eaten bread that Ann had left, placing it in front of him.
"This is what Ann didn’t finish eating. If you’re still hungry later, you can have this."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yanzhi decided that even if he was full, he would finish eating this bread.
"A post-meal snack, not bad."
This was no ordinary bread; it was his granddaughter’s bread!
Old Madam Ye saw through it but didn’t reveal it, not stopping him.
Qin Sui’an looked at her grandparents, leaning comfortably against the big white goose.
Grandfather and Grandmother were similar to her paternal grandparents, not in appearance, but in a way that she, at her age, couldn’t comprehend.
After sleeping for three or four hours, the big white goose, now refreshed, finally felt strength returning to its body.
Not only strength but also a noticeable weight pressing down on it.
It was about to wonder who dared to press it when it saw clearly and instantly lost its anger.
Ah! It turned out to be Ann! That’s all right then!
Qin Sui’an felt the slight movement of the big white goose and turned her little head, just in time to see the goose stretching its long neck, as if it were a human stretching lazily.
With her round eyes curved, she happily rubbed its back.
"The big white goose is awake!"
"Ga! Awake!"
The big white goose, full of energy, glanced at the other two humans in the ward.
One was Ann’s grandmother, whom it had seen in the morning, and the other...
Just as it was about to use its spiritual sense to perceive, it heard Ann’s joyful voice saying, "Big white goose, this is Ann’s grandmother! This is Ann’s grandfather."
Qin Sui’an introduced her family to it.
Then, she looked at her grandparents and touched the little head of the big white goose, saying, "Grandmother, Grandfather, this is the big white goose."
Old Madam Ye was prepared and knew that this goose was not a toy.
With a calm expression, she politely glanced at the big white goose. "Hello."
The big white goose readily responded, "Ga! Hello, Ann’s grandmother."
Ye Yanzhi, with his hand holding the utensils, paused in mid-air, his mouth slightly open, looking astonished at the big white goose that seemed to understand human language.
He snapped out of it, following his wife’s lead, and greeted the big white goose. "Hello, big white goose."
"Ga! Hello, Ann’s grandfather," the big white goose also responded to him.
Ye Yanzhi blinked in confusion. It was quite intelligent indeed.
