Chapter 1258: Miss Cousin Does Not Want to Be Entrusted to Her (3)
Jin Shichu finally sorted out the things in the storeroom. When she came out, she heard Nanny Guan say to her excitedly, "Young lady, the master just woke up for a while and said he wanted to see you. Go and see if he has fallen asleep. I have to prepare some easily digestible food for him..."
"Okay, I'll go now." Jin Shichu was also very happy. Although she was very confident in the prescription she prescribed, only when the person was really awake could she prove it.
Jin Shichu walked quickly towards Jin Xiangrong's room. Nanny Guan really took good care of him. This time when Jin Shichu came in, the strong smell of medicine and stuffy odor was no longer there.
After entering the room, Jin Shichu lowered his footsteps and slowly walked to the bed.
"Chu'er, is that you?" Jin Xiangrong's weak voice sounded.
"Dad! Are you really awake? How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Jin Shichu asked him hurriedly.
Jin Xiangrong tried to open his cloudy and bloodshot eyes and looked at Jin Shichu. Seeing that although her face looked a little haggard, she seemed to be in good spirits, he felt relieved and was ready to answer his daughter's question: "Dad feels much better now. The heavy and stuffy feeling in my chest as if it was pressed by a huge rock a few days ago has disappeared. I feel much more relaxed all over..."
"That's great! This means that Dad, your illness will be cured soon. You should lie down and have a good rest. Don't get too tired! By the way, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? You need to eat nutritious food to recover from your illness." Jin Shichu chattered on and on.
Jin Xiangrong listened to his daughter's continuous talking without any impatience. Instead, he looked at her with a smile on his face, as if he couldn't look at her enough.
When he was in a coma, he felt that his end was coming, but he was worried about his only daughter... If he died, his daughter would still be so young and helpless, how would she survive? He struggled to wake up and make final arrangements for his daughter. Even if he had to give up his dignity and beg relatives who no longer had any contact with him to help take care of his daughter, he was willing to do so...
But he didn't expect that when he really woke up from his coma, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the heaviness in his body was gone and he felt relaxed. He soon realized that his body was getting better and he didn't have to leave his daughter alone to live a hard life in this world.
Jin Xiangrong, who had walked through the gates of hell, had never been so clear-headed that he was his daughter's only support in this world. If he died early, his daughter would be alone and helpless. How difficult would her life be in the future? Therefore, he decided to take good care of his body and live longer to be a support for his daughter.
With a strong will to survive, and the right medicine prescribed by Jin Shichu, and Nanny Guan's balanced meals three times a day, Jin Xiangrong's illness quickly recovered, and three days later he was able to walk slowly with the help of Jin Shichu.
It’s just because he had been ill for too long and his body was too weak. Even if his illness has improved, his body is still very weak. He needs to rest slowly before he can recover his health. But it’s all a matter of time. As long as he eats well and takes medicine, he will be fine in the end.
Jin Xiangrong was dragged by Jin Shichu to bask in the sun in the garden. It was early morning and the sunlight was gentle, shining warmly on people, making people feel happy.
Jin Shichu made a cup of tea and handed it to Jin Xiangrong: "Dad, have some tea."
Jin Xiangrong took a sip of the tea, then looked at his daughter whose face was slightly flushed by the sun, and said, "Chu'er, why don't you go back to the pavilion and sit down? Dad can tan here by himself. Your skin is delicate, and it would be bad if you get burned by the sun and leave marks."
"Dad, no, this little bit of sun can't burn me. Besides, I have the skin care cream that Nanny Guan made for me. It feels cool and comfortable when I apply it. My face is in great condition." Jin Shichu took a sip of tea, leaned on the backrest of the Luohan bed, and said happily.
Jin Xiangrong looked at his daughter's lazy sitting posture and said nothing. If he had not gotten this serious illness, he would have scolded his daughter and asked her to study her manners again and not allow her to do anything inappropriate.
But he had a serious illness and finally came back from the brink of death. His last wish was to let his daughter live happily. He did not ask her to be well-educated, dignified, reserved, and well-mannered. As long as she was comfortable, it didn't matter if she didn't sit properly? After all, she had him as her father to pamper her!
Jin Shichu had no idea that her father's illness had changed his attitude towards her a lot, and he was already planning to let her do whatever she wanted.
She looked up at the dazzling sun and couldn't help but cover her eyes. While Jin Xiangrong wasn't noticing, she quickly said, "Dad, you've been sick for a long time and rarely see the sun. Your skin must be much more fragile. Why don't I ask Nanny Guan to make you some skin cream so you can apply it?"
When Jin Xiangrong heard her words, his expression changed again and again, and finally he said with a smile: "Dad is a man, he is already at the age of knowing his destiny, why should he apply skin care cream? He is not a little girl anymore."
Jin Shichu said unconvincedly, "Who said that only little girls can use skin cream? Dad, you are prejudiced. As long as the skin is sunburned or frostbitten, whether adults or children, they have to use skin cream, otherwise they will suffer for the sake of face - Dad, are you such a person?"
Jin Xiangrong couldn't help laughing when he saw his daughter's cunning expression. How could he refute her words? He could only say, "Dad is certainly not the kind of person who would rather suffer for the sake of face. Then I'll trouble Madam Guan to make me a skin care cream."
I have already died once, so as long as I am still alive, what's wrong with applying some skin care cream? Jin Xiangrong comforted himself and he could also make his daughter happy.
"I said that dad is not one of those pedantic people who cares too much about face and suffers in life. Dad is the most open-minded." Jin Shichu said with a smile, looking very proud of having succeeded.
The father and daughter were talking happily when suddenly a faint, heartbroken cry came from outside. Jin Shichu and Jin Xiangrong were startled. After looking at each other, Jin Xiangrong shouted, "Old Chen!"
"Master? What do you want to see me about?" Chen Shu came back quickly and asked.
"Go and see what's happening outside? It sounds like someone is crying." Jin Xiangrong ordered.
Chen Shu responded and went out to inquire about the news.
Jin Shichu listened carefully and found that the crying sound came from a neighbor's house not far away.
Since they had a house so close to Qingyang Academy, the neighbors of the Jin family were certainly not ordinary people. Jin Shichu remembered that the family was in business and their business was quite big.
