After returning home, Qiao Qiqi was restless all afternoon and even burned her hand while cooking.
After finishing her meal and trying to get Xin Xin to sleep, she couldn't fall asleep because her mind was full of things that happened at the hospital.
"I wonder how the old lady is doing, whether she was saved..." Qiao Qiqi thought for a moment, then finally couldn't stay in bed any longer. She sat up and tiptoed out the door.
Fang Ke was also asleep upstairs. Qiao Qiqi thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper, left a note for her on the coffee table, and then went out.
Soon, she appeared at the hospital carrying peaches and grapes.
I asked the receptionist about the old lady's condition, but because she didn't know the old lady's name, and the receptionist couldn't just reveal patient information, she refused to tell me.
Just as Qiao Qiqi was wondering what to do, a man in military uniform walked past her.
Qiao Qiqi hadn't paid any attention at first, but suddenly realized something and turned around to chase after the man. When she ran up to him, she stared wide-eyed at his face, which looked just like Qin Huai's.
How can there be two people in the world who look so alike!
Qin Baoguo looked at the young woman who had suddenly blocked his way, raised an eyebrow in confusion, and asked, "Miss, is there something you need?"
Hearing the unfamiliar voice and noticing the man's noticeably fairer complexion than Qin Huai's, Qiao Qiqi realized that the person in front of her was not her man before she withdrew her staring gaze.
"Excuse me, I rushed over because you look like one of my relatives, but you're not..."
A knowing glint flashed in the man's eyes. As Qiao Qiqi turned to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you here to see a patient? An elderly man who fainted and was brought to the hospital around 9 a.m.?"
These were the questions he overheard Qiao Qiqi asking the nurse when he walked over.
Qiao Qiqi wasn't surprised that he overheard, so she nodded. "Yes, but I don't know the other person's name. I just met them once and wanted to come and see them."
Qin Baoguo looked at her somewhat forlorn expression and pondered for a moment.
Seeing that the man didn't speak, Qiao Qiqi realized there was no point in her staying any longer, so she lifted her foot to leave.
Just then, the man suddenly spoke up: "Perhaps I can lead you to the person you want to see. Come with me!"
"?" Qiao Qiqi looked up in surprise.
Qin Baoguo had already taken the lead and started walking forward.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the man's military uniform and suddenly remembered that the old lady was also a retired soldier...
She suddenly realized something and immediately gave chase.
Qin Baoguo went straight to the third floor, knocked on the door, and said to Qiao Qiqi, "Just come in with me."
"Okay." Qiao Qiqi nodded.
When she heard a familiar voice coming in from inside, she knew she had come to the right place.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, the old lady and Aunt Zhou were surprised to see her. "Why are you here?"
Qiao Qiqi also felt that she was being rather abrupt, but she still stepped forward, placed the peaches and grapes she had brought on the bedside table, and then told them about what she had seen that morning when the old lady was taken to the hospital.
Aunt Zhou immediately chimed in, "Yes, that girl brought her younger sister to the hospital for a check-up and to get her medication. She saw us and even helped push the gurney for a bit. I forgot to tell you earlier."
When the old lady saw that Qiao Qiqi had come so readily and even brought fruit, she immediately smiled and asked, "How is your sister's illness? Is she better?"
Qiao Qiqi nodded, "I'm all better now. I came for a follow-up appointment today. The doctor said I just need to take the medicine for another week to consolidate the treatment."
"That's good." The old lady nodded.
Qiao Qiqi immediately said, "I just came to see you. I'm relieved to see that you're alright. I'll be going now."
After saying that, she immediately turned and walked towards the door.
But the old lady quickly called out to her, "Wait a moment."
Qiao Qiqi paused, turned around in surprise, and saw the old lady smiling and saying, "Since you're here, sit for a while. I'm feeling bored and want to find someone to talk to."
Qiao Qiqi hesitated for a moment before walking to the chair next to the hospital bed and sitting down. "Madam, is your illness serious?"
The old lady smiled and said, "It's an old problem. I've had several major surgeries in the past few years, and my body is no longer up to par. If it weren't for the unfulfilled wishes in my heart, I would have closed my eyes long ago."
Qin Baoguo frowned and finally couldn't help but say his first words after coming in: "Don't talk nonsense, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
The old lady chuckled reproachfully, "Then I'll become a tortoise? But I've lived to such an old age, so it's been worth it."
Qin Baoguo's brows furrowed even deeper, clearly disliking hearing such words.
When Qiao Qiqi saw this, she immediately said, "Madam, don't be discouraged. Medicine is becoming more and more advanced. Maybe all diseases can be cured in the future. Just live well and you will definitely be able to hold on until that day."
This statement is somewhat comforting, after all, in the 21st century, medicine has not yet reached the point where it can cure everything.
Qiao Qiqi estimated that it was about time, so she got up to say goodbye.
The old lady immediately said to Qin Baoguo, "Go and see Miss Qiao off."
"No……"
Although Qiao Qiqi refused, Qin Baoguo still saw her out of the ward.
When she reached the stairwell, Qiao Qiqi quickly turned around and said, "You don't need to see me off, I can walk by myself."
Qin Baoguo looked at her and said sincerely, "Thank you for visiting my grandmother. She likes lively gatherings, and I can tell she's very happy that you came."
Qiao Qiqi could also sense that the old lady was much closer to her this time, perhaps because she was certain that she was not a bad person.
Originally, after she had suspected and ruled out that the person was not a relative of Chenchen and Xinxin, Qiao Qiqi had no need to continue contacting him.
But she didn't know why, ever since she saw the old lady in the hospital, she had been thinking about her.
Now that she's seen him and confirmed he's alright, she's relieved.
But Qiao Qiqi remembered the old lady's words about "unfulfilled wishes" and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask what the old lady's unfulfilled wishes are?"
"Well, what Grandma meant was..." Qin Baoguo was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the stairs, "Baoguo, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Qiqi had her back to the stairs, but she still recognized the familiar voice as the two small mustaches from that day.
Knowing that the other person didn't like her, she quickly said to Qin Baoguo, "Then I'll go back first, goodbye."
Before Qin Baoguo could speak, Qiao Qiqi quickly turned and left.
She deliberately turned her back to Xiao Tanghai as he came upstairs, not letting him see her face, but Xiao Tanghai still recognized her from her back.
"It's her?"
