(Hmm, several days ago, Little Dragon's novel "Dragon Son-in-Law" had already passed its new release period and is no longer on the charts. Therefore, it needs to rely on legendary word-of-mouth promotion. Anyway, if you guys think it’s good, please help promote it for Little Dragon~~順便感謝一下今天給我投票和打賞的同學們~~)
Upon hearing this news, Hao Ren finally let out half of the breath he was holding.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital," Zhao Guang said as he picked up his keys and turned to Hao Ren.
"Okay!" Hao Ren quickly got up from the sofa.
Zhao Yanzi also stood up, following Hao Ren towards the door.
With Zhao Guang driving them, they arrived at Dongfang Hospital smoothly in about 20 minutes. He contacted Zhao Hongyu and learned that Grandmother Hao's condition had stabilized; she was currently residing in a ward on the hospital’s inpatient floor.
The trio ascended the stairs and walked through cold corridors until they reached the room Zhao Hongyu mentioned.
In the病房裡有四張床鋪,另外幾張空床位也都是躺著老人。趙紅玉怕趙焰紫喧嘩,在他們進來的時候,就用手勢做一個噤聲的動作。
郝仁的奶奶平躺在病床上,手邊吊著一瓶鹽水。她閉著眼睛,呼吸勻稱,臉上的皺紋像溝壑一樣起起伏伏。
"The doctor said everything is fine now. Just rest for two days," Zhao Hongyu stepped forward and whispered to Hao Ren.
"Thank you, Aunt!" Hao Ren let out a sigh of relief and went over to check on his grandmother's condition.
“Because we had an emergency admission, your grandma is in this general ward for now. Tomorrow, I will try to arrange for her to be moved to a private room.” Zhao Hongyu whispered softly from behind Hao Ren.
"It's okay." Hao Ren turned around and looked at Zhao Hongyu, at a loss for words to express his gratitude.
"I might have to pay a lot of speeding tickets tomorrow, but I have an appointment with Philip Stark who is coming over to visit my design studio. I won't have time to take care of the tickets..." Zhao Hongyu stood beside Zhao Guang and whispered to him.
Hao Ren sat by his grandmother's bedside, observing her condition while inadvertently overhearing Zhao Hongyu’s whispers. He felt even more touched that someone who was not related to him would go out of their way to help.
"Auntie, I’ll cover the fines." He turned and said to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu was momentarily taken aback, perhaps not expecting Hao Ren’s keen hearing. She then shook her head with a smile, "It's fine, there might only be two or three tickets."
Zhao Guang stared at Hao Ren, thought for a moment and asked, “Ren, did you break through the second level of the Spirit Concentration Art”
Hao Ren nodded. He had been preoccupied with his grandmother’s collapse and forgotten to tell Zhao Guang about his breakthrough.
"No wonder I feel something different. And your five senses are so sharp." Zhao Guang seemed somewhat enlightened.
“Five senses” Hao Ren was a bit confused.
“Right, the five senses: shape, sound, color, taste, and touch; or rather, vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.” Zhao Guang explained.
Hao Ren didn’t feel any different himself, but if Zhao Guang said his senses had been enhanced, then they must have been enhanced.
Standing beside Zhao Guang, Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren in surprise. How could he break through the second level of Spirit Concentration Art so quickly She herself had struggled to reach the Rank 1 realm by consuming all the spiritual elixirs and medicines that her family provided as if they were peanuts.
"Since your grandmother is alright, you can stay a bit longer. Azi has classes tomorrow; I’ll take her home first. Oh, the hospitalization and treatment fees are covered. Additionally, I prepaid 6000 yuan for your grandmother’s convalescence here. If I have time tomorrow, I’ll drop by to check on her." Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren.
"I'll give you the money when I can, thank you so much, Aunt!"郝仁真誠地說。
"It's just a little bit of money; don't worry about it. Take care of your grandma first." Zhao Hongyu took Zhao Yanzǐ’s hand, and the family left.
Hao Ren stayed in the hospital room, waiting for his grandmother to wake up. He dozed off halfway through the night, but eventually, she stirred from her daze.
"Ah Ren!" She turned around and saw Hao Ren by her bedside, calling out softly.
Hao Ren perked up at once, rubbed his eyes, and exclaimed excitedly when he saw his grandmother awake, "Grandma!"
He then realized that there were other sleeping elders in the room and quickly covered his mouth.
"How did I end up here" She asked him.
"Grandma, you fainted at home, so they brought you to the hospital," Hao Ren replied softly.
"Oh, I remember now. I was cleaning at home and suddenly forgot everything." Her grandmother raised her bony arm and pinched her forehead, "Aren't you supposed to be in school How did you end up here"
Hao Ren recounted the situation from start to finish but referred to Zhao Hongyu as "the tutoring girl's mother" instead of his future mother-in-law.
"From what you’re saying, they seem like very kind people. Once I’m better, I’ll make sure to thank them properly," his grandmother said, feeling moved.
Weak from her illness, she spoke haltingly and Hao Ren feared she would lose consciousness again so he urged her to sleep more and rest.
The grandma looked at this filial grandson. Despite her own weakness, she felt contented.
This went on until morning, when the nurse who looked after the ward brought breakfast. Hao Ren personally fed his grandmother.
"Ren, today is Friday; you still have classes, right" His grandmother asked as she ate porridge.
"It's fine, I took a leave from school to stay with my grandma," Hao Ren replied immediately.
Originally, he had planned to go home and spend time with his grandmother this weekend. However, such an unexpected event occurred. Thinking about his grandmother being alone at home and Uncle Wang not being very good at caring for people, Hao Ren felt guilty.
But when reminded of school by his grandmother, he thought about Zhao Jiayin and the others and called them to explain the situation before having them help him take leave. Such a request amounted to explaining their absence if they were called on in class.
The grandmother still had to lie down for intravenous therapy today. Hao Ren stayed by her side, fetching towels and slicing apples, fulfilling his filial duties as a grandson should.
Afternoon arrived, and Hao Ren suddenly received a text from Xie Yujia asking about his grandmother's condition. He guessed that when Zhao Jiayin explained the situation to their teacher, Xie Yujia must have heard it and sent a message out of concern.
Despite being just an inquiring text, Hao Ren felt touched at this moment.
Seeing Hao Ren holding his phone unsure how to reply, Grandma smiled. "Girlfriend's message"
"No," Hao Ren answered with a smile and after some hesitation, sent back a couple of words expressing gratitude for her concern.
"It's normal for someone at Ren's age to have a girlfriend," said his grandmother kindly as she looked at him. She repeated the same old advice again.
Hao Ren knew that his grandmother still held onto the old rural farmer mindset, thinking boys in their twenties should be considering finding partners and even believing they ought to marry by twenty-five. However, given her advanced age wanting to see a granddaughter-in-law sooner rather than later was understandable, so he did not argue.
Oddly enough, every time his grandmother brought up such topics, Hao Ren's mind would conjure an image of Xie Yujia as if his intuition told him that the smart and sensible Xie Yujia should be exactly the type of granddaughter-in-law his grandma would love. Han had her own grievances too: these Jindragon sect disciples just barged into Donghai City without even a word and now planned to apprehend a cultivator under her nose—this was too presumptuous!The...
