However, some animals make various sounds due to pain caused by injury or surgery.
Gu Wei tiptoed to the end of the corridor and saw Gu Jianguo smoking one cigarette after another.
In the darkness of night, his body, which had become somewhat plump due to improved living conditions, was hunched over, filled with pain and anxiety.
When Gu Jianguo saw Gu Wei approaching, he raised his head to hide his tears.
"Why are you out here too? Go back to sleep."
Gu Wei whispered to comfort him, "I'm not sleepy. Grandpa, don't worry too much. When it's light, we'll transfer Grandma to a hospital in the city. You're the pillar of the family, so don't get sick from worrying too much right now."
Gu Jianguo knew that Gu Wei was right, but having already almost lost his wife once, how could he not worry so easily?
"Oh, don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy, I'll definitely be fine. But I really regret not taking your great-grandmother to the provincial capital for a check-up after things got a little better."
Gu Jianguo's voice choked with emotion as he finished speaking.
Gu Wei felt almost exactly the same way as Gu Jianguo.
"Grandpa, don't regret it or blame yourself. When your heart condition isn't acting up, even if you go for a checkup, they won't find anything."
"That's true." Gu Jianguo took another puff of his cigarette.
The two remained silent for a long time, each with their own thoughts in mind.
“We’ve been out for half a day, let’s all go back. If your great-grandmother wakes up and finds you’re not here, she’ll be worried.”
"Okay, let's go back."
When they returned to the ward, Li Guizhi had indeed woken up.
"Where have you been?"
Gu Jianguo stared intently into his wife's eyes and asked, "How did you feel after going out for a while?"
"I'm much better," Li Guizhi said weakly. "Don't look so worried. I know my own body; it shouldn't be anything serious. It's just that it's been getting cold lately, and I haven't been paying much attention. A little injection at the hospital will do the trick."
Gu Jianguo gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Of course we know it's nothing serious, but the Forestry Bureau Hospital isn't as good as the one in the city. Let's go there tomorrow."
"No need! Why go through all that trouble? It's a waste of money and time," Li Guizhi strongly objected.
Gu Wei then spoke up to persuade her, "Grandma, just listen to Grandpa this time. We have plenty of money and time; getting the illness treated properly is the real priority. As for the shop, we can manage."
Li Guizhi didn't actually want to go to the city hospital, and that was part of her consideration.
Hearing Gu Wei say this, and seeing her husband's red eyes, she said in a low voice, "Then let's go take a look."
Gu Jianguo and Gu Wei exchanged a glance, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Several hours later, it was broad daylight.
Gu Wei found a car and drove Li Guizhi and the others to the city hospital...
