BXBX NOVEL Chapter 158
Chapter 158: This is more like a father
That was close! If she hadn’t been careful and dealt with the old lady directly, she would have been done for. She didn’t get the money and was charged with intentional homicide. God! Just thinking about it made him feel a little scared.
Since there were surveillance cameras, he wondered if there were any recording devices installed.
Li Lijuan began to deliberately say words of concern,
“Grandma, you’ve suffered a lot. Don’t worry, your illness will slowly be cured. Wake up quickly.”
Grandma’s eyes were closed and she was in a deep sleep.
Li Lijuan and Chi mingjiao sat down for a while. They felt bored and didn’t dare to move or talk. They looked at their watches and saw that more than twenty minutes had passed.
The caretaker stood to the side in silence.
Li Lijuan thought that she had to have a good relationship with this nurse, so she smiled politely.
“You’ve worked hard! We still have things to do, so we’ll have to leave the old man in your care. Thank you!”
“You’re welcome, it’s what I should do. ”
Li Lijuan tugged at Chi Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the side playing with her phone. “Let’s go. We’ll come to see grandma again next time.” The two of them went out.
Just as he turned the corner and had yet to enter the elevator, he saw Chi Luoxi walking out of the elevator with a takeaway box and what seemed to be nutrient solution.
Chi luexi was shocked to see her stepmother and younger sister alone. Her father, Chi Jianming, was not with her.
“Why are you guys here? When did you arrive?”
Li Lijuan had a flattering smile on her face.”Luo Xi, you’ve worked hard. We’re here to visit grandma.”
“Visit grandma? What’s there to see when grandma is unconscious? I didn’t see you guys being so kind? You guys aren’t here to find trouble again, are you?”
When Chi Jiaojiao heard the hostility in Chi Luoxi’s words, she also wanted to argue with her loudly. Just as she was about to speak, li Lijuan pinched her arm hard. It hurt so much that she frowned and held back her voice.
Upon hearing Chi Luoxi’s words, li Lijuan said calmly,”
“Luo Xi, why do you have to say such unpleasant things? we are indeed here to visit grandma. Don’t accuse a good person.”
Wrongly accused a good person? Chi yaoxi glanced at li Lijuan in disgust. This stepmother only knew how to do things that were disadvantageous to her. There were many things that she had yet to settle with her. She would talk about it after she was done with this.
Chi yaoxi couldn’t care less. Li Lijuan and Chi Jiaojiao had just entered the ward and she had to hurry in to see if her grandmother was alright.
Chi luexi jogged all the way to her grandmother’s ward 609. The moment she entered, she saw the caretaker sitting by the bed.
“Sister Qiu, is my grandma alright?”
The caretaker called sister Qiu saw Chi Luoxi’s anxious and worried look. She was a little puzzled and immediately said,”
“I’m fine. I woke up for more than ten minutes in the morning and then fell asleep the whole time.”
Chi luexi touched her grandmother’s hand and then her forehead. She looked the same as usual.
“Did the two of them say anything when they came? Did you do anything to grandma?”
Sister Qiu was at a loss from Chi yaoxi’s question. She shook her head and said,”
“Nothing much, I think. They bought fruits, oranges, bananas, and so on. They came in for 20 minutes and just left.”
After hearing the nurse’s words, Chi luexi still felt that something was amiss. Would people like her stepmother li Lijuan and her younger sister Chi Jiaojiao be so kind as to come and visit her grandmother?
It sounded like the sun had risen from the West. It was very puzzling and simply unbelievable.
They must have some ulterior motives for taking a bus all the way to the hospital to visit grandma.
Chi luexi analyzed the situation for a while but was still worried. She decided to check the surveillance cameras and turn them on to see if there was anything strange.
In the security room, Chi Kexi carefully checked li Lijuan’s every move.
She even touched her grandmother’s hand and stood up to pull the blanket over her. She didn’t do anything suspicious.
“Fortunately,” Chi leixi consoled herself,”there’s no need to worry too much. There’s nothing wrong with the surveillance camera and everything is normal.” Chi leixi finally felt a little relieved.
After staying in the hospital for more than half an hour, her grandmother was still in a deep sleep. Later on, Chi Luoxi went back for lunch and an afternoon break, as she still had a mission in the afternoon.
Chi luexi had not seen her grandmother when she was awake today and planned to come back to take a look after work in the afternoon.
When Chi Luoxi arrived at the ward in the evening, her grandmother happened to be awake. Upon seeing Chi Luoxi, her grandmother smiled.
“Grandma, you’re awake? I’ve been eating well recently. You see, I’ve gained weight and become more energetic. You have to eat more and recuperate well, understand, grandma?”
Although grandma was conscious, her voice was weak. She replied softly,””Okay, I’ll eat more. I just don’t know when I can be discharged.”
“Don’t worry, grandma. We’ll go home after you’re better and discharged.” Chi luexi held her grandmother’s hand and consoled her.
Grandma raised her arm and looked around. She said in a soft voice,”Chenchen, has Chenchen arrived yet?”
Chi luexi hurriedly explained to her grandmother,”grandma, you’re talking about little Chenchen. He comes to visit grandma almost every day. You miss Chenchen, right?”
Grandma blinked her eyes and nodded.
While her grandmother was still awake, Chi Luoxi asked the caretaker to make a bowl of Chinese yam soup. She put some glucose in it and fed it to her grandmother with a spoon.
Grandma ate more than half a bowl at a time and felt tired. After rinsing her mouth, she fell asleep again a few minutes later.
Chi luexi sighed silently. She did not know when her grandmother’s condition would improve. The brain tumor expert said that there was still one more indicator that she had not reached. She had to take a few more days of injections before they could decide if she could undergo surgery.
However, seeing that her grandmother’s appetite was still alright, Chi luexi knew that her body was still in good condition. It was just that the problem with her brain could not be solved for the time being. This was something that made her anxious and she did not know if it would develop into a serious problem.
Chi leixi was planning to sit for a while before heading back when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It’s already so late and there’s still someone here?
Chi yaoxi walked to the door. When she opened the door, she saw her father, Chi Jianming. When she looked back, there was no one else. Her father had come alone with some gifts in his hands.
“Dad, you came at this time.”
Seeing her father’s no longer straight figure and even carrying a gift to visit her grandmother, Chi luexi opened the door to let him in without much thought.
After entering the ward, Chi Jianming looked around and said,””The environment here is quite good. You must have to spend a lot of money every day, right?”
“It’s alright. I hope grandma gets better as soon as possible.”
Chi Jianming didn’t say much. He walked directly to the bed, looked at his grandmother’s face, and said anxiously,”
“His complexion looks fine. If it’s just a tumor, it’s not easy to treat at his age.”
Chi luexi had never heard her father say such caring and heartwarming words to others. She felt that it was a little sudden and at the same time, she was also a little emotional.
This was what a father and family should say!
However, Chi leixi could not understand what he was trying to achieve. Did he really care about grandma? Or do you have other thoughts?
