Chapter 178 I’m back
Chapter 178 I’m back
Wenren Chen remained silent.
In the past, her soft, sweet voice was always accompanied by a smile, like a little sun; wherever she was, there was always laughter and joy.
She never cried. Even when she heard about her grandmother's accident that night, she didn't cry with such despair.
The phone was quiet, so quiet that only the sound of crying could be heard—hoarse, fearful, and helpless.
Wenren Chen listened to her crying for a long time before saying, "I'm on my way back."
There was no comforting words, no sweet talk, just this very ordinary sentence.
But that's what made Zhou Yi's tears stop instantly.
Realizing the meaning behind Wenren Chen's words, Zhou Yi quickly shook her head and wiped away her tears: "No, no, no, sir, please don't come back, everything is fine here."
"There are doctors, nurses, and bodyguards in the hospital. Everything is fine here. You don't need to come back."
"No need to come back."
Zhou Yi said twice that she didn't need to come back, which showed how anxious she was.
What brings you back, sir?
My husband is very busy. After coming to this small county, he not only has to work, but also take care of Yu Yu.
She has already caused her husband a lot of trouble, and she cannot trouble him any further.
"Busy working."
Zhou Yi wanted to add that she hoped Wenren Chen would go back to her work and not let her affairs interfere with her.
But when she heard those three words, her voice went hoarse.
Are you done with your work, sir?
In an instant, Zhou Yi recalled what Wenren Chen had said when he left this morning.
I'll be back tonight.
Yes, sir said he'd be back tonight. Is it evening now?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi immediately took out her phone to check the time.
It's five o'clock.
Five o'clock is considered late in Yunzhou City, because it gets dark there at five o'clock.
So it's time for Mr. to come back.
Instantly, Zhou Yi relaxed.
I'm afraid my husband will come back because of the hospital.
Fortunately, the gentleman finished his work and she didn't delay him, otherwise she would have caused him trouble again before she could repay him.
"That's fine, that's fine."
Zhou Yi relaxed completely, and in that relaxation, she thought of her grandmother again.
However, she stopped crying and became incredibly calm.
Gripping the phone tightly, she said firmly, "Sir, Grandma will be alright, really, don't worry."
Previously, Zhou Yi needed others to comfort her, but now, she's the one comforting others.
The clarity and composure in that voice were worlds apart from the desperate cries just now.
It seems that just a moment ago it was thunderstorming, but now it's sunny.
Wenren Chen listened to the change in the voice on the phone, which became extremely powerful, as if what she said was true.
I'm quite certain.
"I know."
Instead of "um," the three words "I know" acted like a reassuring pill, instantly soothing Zhou Yi's stomach.
The last bit of unease and fear in my heart disappeared.
"Yes, sir, it's five o'clock now. You can have dinner at the hotel. I'll come back once Grandma's condition stabilizes."
"Not in a hurry."
Hearing this, Zhou Yi was instantly moved and wanted to cry.
Knowing the situation, the man told her not to rush back, as her grandmother's situation was more important.
Sir, you are so kind.
"Okay, sir, you must be tired after a long day. Please rest in the car. I'll stay with Grandma at the hospital."
"Ah."
"Give the phone to the bodyguard to charge."
After receiving his response, Zhou Yi was about to hand her phone to the bodyguard when she heard this sentence. Zhou Yi was stunned and then realized that her phone was out of power and had not been charged.
Instantly, she grabbed her phone and held it to her ear: "Okay, sir!"
She forgot.
No wonder the gentleman called the bodyguard.
She was just too careless.
"Ah."
"Give the phone to the bodyguard."
"Ok."
Zhou Yi immediately handed the phone to the bodyguard: "The sir wants to talk to you."
The bodyguard took the phone: "Sir."
The canvas bag was still in Zhou Yi's hands; she had been holding it the whole time and hadn't let go of it.
She immediately took out her phone and handed it to the bodyguard after he finished his call, saying, "Could you please charge my phone? I'll stay here and watch over Grandma."
"Okay, Ms. Zhou."
The bodyguard took Zhou Yi's phone and left, and Zhou Yi's gaze fell on the ward door again.
At that moment, she was no longer afraid.
Grandma will be alright.
The gentleman was also certain that his grandmother would be alright.
She doesn't need to be afraid; she just needs to wait for the doctor to come out.
Bad guys will not succeed.
Zhou Yi clenched her fists, her eyes no longer filled with tears, but with determination and unwavering conviction.
Extremely bright.
Not long after the bodyguard took the phone, the ward door opened and the doctor came out.
Zhou Yi immediately asked, "How is it?"
The doctor took off his mask and looked at her: "The old lady has been saved."
Zhou Yi instantly went limp, her body almost collapsing to the ground.
Fortunately, the bodyguard reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from falling.
As the bodyguard helped her up, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
She stood up straight, trying to keep her balance.
But my whole body was still trembling slightly, which I couldn't help.
There was a feeling of exhaustion, like surviving a disaster.
The doctor looked at her until she calmed down, and continued, "But we can't let this happen again."
"If... there is a next time, the old lady might not survive."
Zhou Yixin tensed up instantly, then her face changed, turning very pale, but extremely firm and resolute.
"There won't be a next time."
She looked into the doctor's eyes and said, slowly and deliberately, "This is the last time."
The doctor nodded: "Although the old lady has been rescued, her condition is still not very stable. Miss Zhou, please do not go in for the time being."
"it is good!"
"I'm not going in."
"Whenever you say I can go in, then I'll go in."
She listened to the doctor.
The doctor glanced at his watch and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow morning."
"Let's see how things go tomorrow morning."
"Ok!"
Zhou Yi's eyes were bright, and he showed no sign of relaxation.
The doctor left, leaving the nurses in the ward to watch over the patient.
As the doctor came out, the door opened and closed again. Zhou Yi looked inside and saw Xu Fengzhen lying on the bed.
Whether it was because it was evening and the lighting was off, or because Xu Fengzhen's complexion was really bad after the recent emergency treatment, it's unclear.
The moment Zhou Yi saw Xu Fengzhen's expression, his heart clenched, and worry uncontrollably welled up in his eyes.
Grandma, Yiyi is here, Yiyi is alright.
Don't worry, just focus on getting better.
The ward door closed, cutting off Zhou Yi's view. Zhou Yi was still worried, but no longer as fearful as before.
Grandma has survived the danger and is alright.
However, there can be no next time.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and her eyes and face showed a resolute determination.
Father, she is gone.
From this moment on, Zhou Yi no longer had a father.
Zhou Jianye is a stranger.
It has nothing to do with her.
She had nothing to do with Zhou Jianye.
At this moment, there was no longer any emotion in those clear eyes.
She was cold.
It's so cold that no one can get close.
As the sun began to set, the bustling atmosphere of the small county town gradually filled the air.
Qin Shi and Sun Huilan left the hospital, got into a taxi, and went to a small coffee shop where they sat down.
"go back."
