Chapter 233 Heartbreaking Pain
As they spoke, the two walked to the side of the bushes, and Si Yanxiao also saw the little head next to him: "What are you two doing here?"
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin stepped forward with serious expressions. "Father!"
"Hmm, what are you doing here?"
"How is Grandpa?" Si Zuochen didn't answer Si Yanxiao's question directly, but asked a question instead.
Jiang Ran knew the two of them were angry, so she endured the pain in her foot and half-squatted down: "Grandpa is fine now. If something like this happens again, can you discuss it with me first? Grandpa's health isn't very good right now, and he can't handle any major stress."
After saying just those two sentences, Jiang Ran broke out in a cold sweat, and her face turned noticeably paler.
Si Zuochen and Si Youlin knew about Jiang Ran's injury. They exchanged a glance and helped Jiang Ran up, one on each side: "Your foot isn't healed yet, don't you know that? You're such a grown woman, and you can't even take care of yourself, yet you're trying to take care of others!"
Looking at the two stubborn but kind-hearted little ones, Jiang Ran gave them a motherly smile: "I'm really fine."
Although he said that, he still didn't let go of the two little ones' hands. Watching the mother and her two children walk away hand in hand, Si Yanxiao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. His chest felt warm, as if it was filled with something.
Jiang Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief once she was out of Si Yanxiao's sight.
The reason she rushed to the Si family's old residence was because she had calculated the fate of Old Master Si.
Having just recovered from a serious illness, Jiang Ran's health was deteriorating rapidly. Although she had been given expensive food to nourish herself, it was all in vain. Today, Jiang Ran felt something was wrong. After calculating with her fingers, she realized that there were signs that her time was coming to an end. Therefore, Jiang Ran did not have anyone inform her, but instead had the butler send a car to rush over.
Fortunately, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin bought Jiang Ran some time; otherwise, she might have really been too late.
Jiang Ran was caught off guard by Si Yanxiao's questioning. When she saw the two children, her eyes lit up, and she quickly left after making up an excuse.
From behind, his figure looked like he was fleeing in panic.
However, at this moment, Si Yanxiao was only focused on his own strangeness and did not notice this.
The two children helped Jiang Ran to her room, and before going upstairs, they instructed the servants to bring over a first-aid kit: "Sit down!"
Si Zuochen gently tried to help Jiang Ran take off her shoes, but by then, Jiang Ran's feet were so swollen that they were almost unrecognizable, and her entire foot was tightly wrapped in the shoes. Si Zuochen looked up in surprise, and Jiang Ran smiled awkwardly, "I can do it myself!"
"Ah Lin, go and fetch a doctor."
Si Youlin had just opened the first-aid kit and was still holding gauze when he heard Si Zuochen's words. He glanced down at it, felt a little uncomfortable, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go call the doctor."
After leaving the room, Si Youlin clutched his chest, took a deep breath, and then went downstairs: "Uncle Butler, Jiang Ran's foot is injured. Go and fetch a doctor."
"The young mistress is injured?" the butler exclaimed, nodding repeatedly. "Young master, I'll go and fetch a doctor right away."
The Si family already had a family doctor, but recently the old master Si had been unwell, so the family doctor had gone to the Si family's old residence. Now the housekeeper had no choice but to send someone out to invite the doctor over.
Turning around, Si Yanxiao's figure emerged.
"What's wrong?"
"Young Master just came to report that Young Madam has injured her foot and asked me to fetch a doctor."
"Go and invite Director Liu here," Si Yanxiao said coldly.
The butler was stunned for a moment, glancing at Si Yanxiao with surprise. Seeing that the other party was not joking, he quickly lowered his head: "Yes, I'll call the hospital right away."
After making the call, the housekeeper was still a little confused. She had watched Jiang Ran go upstairs and hadn't noticed anything unusual. Now she was being asked to send Director Liu over?
Director Liu is an orthopedic expert at a top-tier hospital invested in by the Si family, who was hired from abroad at a high price.
Now it's gotten to the point where they're asking him to come to their homes for medical consultations.
When Director Liu received the notification at the hospital, he was a little confused, but as a doctor with a compassionate heart, and since he didn't have any patients at the moment, he brought his medicine kit to the Si family villa.
Si Yanxiao did not appear; the butler personally led people to Jiang Ran's room, "Young Madam."
"Young Madam, the doctor has arrived."
Upon hearing the butler's words, Si Zuochen opened the door.
"Uncle Butler!"
“Uncle Liu.” Si Zuochen’s eyes lit up when he saw Director Liu behind the butler.
"Are you Ah Chen or Ah Lin? Are you feeling unwell?" Director Liu was no stranger to Si Zuo Chen and Si You Lin; before, Old Master Si had taken them to the hospital several times.
"Hello Uncle Liu, I'm A-Lin, and this is A-Chen!" Si Youlin jumped out from behind!
“It’s not that we’re uncomfortable, it’s that she’s uncomfortable.” Si Youlin turned around and pointed at Jiang Ran sitting to the side.
Director Liu straightened up and nodded slightly: "You must be Mrs. Si."
Although they had never met, Director Liu still knew Jiang Ran's name.
After all, back then, in order to help Jiang Ran get pregnant through scientific methods, all the experts, directors, and above in their hospital had participated in that confidential meeting.
"Thank you for your help."
"Mrs. Si, you're too kind. Doctors are here to save lives!"
He put the medicine box on the ground and took the opportunity to squat down in front of Jiang Ran. Looking at her feet, which were swollen like pig's trotters, Director Liu frowned.
Is it serious?
Before Jiang Ran could ask, Si Youlin asked in a slightly hurried voice.
Director Liu did not answer Si Youlin's question. Instead, he reached out and lifted Jiang Ran's foot, placing it on his knee: "It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
"Okay!" Jiang Ran's expression remained unchanged, still indifferent.
Director Liu said, "Excuse me!" Then he pinched Jiang Ran's soles, ankles, and shinbones hard. It hurt, it really hurt. Jiang Ran gasped, but when she saw the two little ones standing to the side, she swallowed the pain that was about to escape her lips.
Jiang Ran's facial muscles were stiff from holding it in, and because her teeth were clenched so tightly, she could even taste the blood in her mouth.
Jiang Ran's reaction impressed Director Liu. He turned his head and saw Si Youlin and Si Zuochen holding hands tightly.
"There's a white medicine bottle in my car trunk, could you please go get it for me?"
Si Youlin was still worried about Jiang Ran and didn't want to leave, but Si Zuochen saw the cold sweat on Jiang Ran's forehead and the bloodstains on her white shirt, which were glaring and hurt his heart.
"Okay, Ah Lin and I will go get it!"
“Ah Chen…”
Si Zuochen stopped Si Youlin and led him out of the room. The two stood at the door: "Achen, weren't we going to get the medicine?"
"No need to go, Uncle Liu's medicine is all in the medicine box."
"Then why did we come out? That woman is definitely..."
“She was in a lot of pain. When we were around, she would just endure it, but after we left, she dared to say that she was in pain.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Ran's suppressed cry of pain came from behind the door.
Although Si Youlin and Si Zuochen were stubborn, they were still very worried about Jiang Ran, especially now that they heard her suppressed cries of pain. Their hands were clasped tightly together, without making a sound, but their hearts were clenched.
After an unknown amount of time, the cries of pain from the room subsided. Si Zuochen and Si Youlin moved their stiff arms, preparing to knock on the door and go in, but their hands were pulled back.
"Daddy, when did you get here?" Actually, less than five minutes after the two children came out, Si Yanxiao arrived behind them, but he didn't make a sound and didn't disturb the two children.
"When was she injured?" Si Yanxiao was certain that the injury was not caused by the kidnapping incident.
Based on the two kids' performance today and Gu Nan's words, he was certain, but he didn't know the exact time.
"Yes..." Si Zuochen blurted out unconsciously, but as soon as he uttered a word, he thought of Jiang Ran's injury and his father's role in it, and immediately straightened his face, ignoring Si Yanxiao.
