ah?!!!
Sheng Xuan froze on the spot, her face turning deathly pale.
Dan Jueshan said anxiously in a low voice, "Ah Xuan, what should we do? Where is Ah Lang? We need to find her quickly and ask her what's going on. My sister isn't someone who doesn't know what's important, and it's the New Year, for her to say something like that... the situation must be very serious."
Sheng Xuan took a deep breath, "Sister-in-law, I'll go find her right away!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran outside.
"Ah Xuan!" Shan Jueshan called out, but he was too fast and had already rushed out of the side door and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Helpless, Shan Jueshan hurriedly turned around—and was startled!
The old man stood behind, leaning on his cane, his face somber, his eyes fixed on him like candlelight.
Shan Jueshan swallowed hard and whispered, "Grandpa..."
The old man is the backbone of the family, incredibly insightful, and has sharp hearing and eyesight. He probably already overheard a few words.
This matter concerns A-Lang's health, even his life, so she cannot hide it from him, nor dares to.
The old man gripped his cane tightly, his deep voice trembling slightly: "Shan's wife, go and help her. Tell Alang that I'm looking for her to go back to the old house."
"Yes, Grandpa." Shan Jueshan nodded hurriedly.
...
Sheng Xuan drove straight to the pet hospital.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the weather is a bit chilly, so many people got up late. It's only a little past nine o'clock, and there aren't many cars on the road.
He drove extremely fast, almost at breakneck speed, until he reached the hospital entrance. The sudden screech of brakes startled several fat cats that were lazily sleeping inside the gate.
As soon as the car stopped, the person rushed out and burst through the gate.
Then, he ran wildly backward.
The security guard at the gate just realized what was happening and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Sir! Hey! Sir—which doctor are you looking for? What do you need?"
Sheng Xuan didn't have time to respond and ran all the way to the sterile incubator in the inpatient department, looking around nervously.
—The insulated box that Ah-Lu was waiting for was already empty!
He continued his search and found nothing but a small puppy and a sickly little myna bird.
Just then, the nurse on duty poked her head out and asked, "Sir, which pet are you looking for?"
Sheng Xuan quickly stepped forward and politely asked, "Nurse, where did that very cute and talkative parrot go?"
"Little Green, right?" the nurse asked, puzzled.
Sheng Xuan nodded hurriedly, "Didn't the doctor say it wouldn't be out for another two days? Why is it gone?"
The nurse explained, "Little Green is recovering well. Last night it kept asking to go home. The on-duty doctor said it could be discharged early if it had a greenhouse. I sent a message to its owner last night, and she just came over to complete the discharge procedures and has already left with it."
Sheng Xuan hurriedly pulled out her phone, dialing the most familiar number while anxiously asking, "Where did she take Ah Lü?"
The nurse paused for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, they must have gone home. During the Lunar New Year, who wouldn't want to be with their family?"
Hearing the message "Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached" coming from her phone, Sheng Xuan frowned, hung up, and ran away again.
The security guard, panting, chased after him and, seeing him rush away again, shouted angrily, "Hey! Sir! What are you doing running in and out like that?!"
Sheng Xuan said "I'm sorry" and rushed out of the pet hospital.
He had just gotten into the car and hadn't even started it when his phone rang!
He hurriedly answered the phone—but it wasn't her.
He was secretly disappointed and quickly swiped to answer the call.
"Hey? Sister-in-law! What?!"
