Chapter 758 Great Rivers and Mountains, Keep You Safe (1)
Zhang Ma escorted Qin Zhi'ai out of the ward and stood in the corridor, staring at her back as she disappeared before returning to the ward.
...
Mr. Gu woke up at 8:30. After the doctor's examination, he suggested staying in the hospital for two days.
After the doctor left, Madam Zhang waited for Mr. Gu to finish his meal, brought a glass of water, and handed it to Mr. Gu to rinse his mouth. After hesitating for a while, she still couldn't help but said, "Mr. Gu, I saw you last night. It burned so badly that I was terrified, so I called the young master..."
"...The young master is on a business trip, Miss Qin answered the phone, and she came to the hospital last night... After taking care of you all night, she left in the morning, and she specially ordered the housekeeper at the young master's side to prepare and bring breakfast to you of……"
As Zhang Ma said, she observed the old man's face and saw that he had no signs of displeasure, and then continued: "...Miss Qin said that she will come here at night when you are asleep...I think she is waiting for you to wake up." I left before and came after sleeping, probably because I saw that you didn't like her, and I was afraid that she would be an eyesore, which would make you feel bad and affect your condition, that's why..."
Mr. Gu frowned and said nothing.
Zhang Ma didn't dare to continue talking. After Mr. Gu finished rinsing his mouth, he took the water glass and went to the bathroom.
After Mrs. Zhang came out, she glanced at Mr. Gu, leaned on the head of the bed, stared out of the window, looking thoughtful, wondering what she was thinking.
...
Mr. Gu stayed in the hospital for three consecutive days, and Qin Zhi'ai came for three consecutive nights.
On the morning of the third night, Mr. Gu woke up before dawn.
Qin Zhi'ai, who was sitting by the hospital bed and looked down at her phone, noticed the movement and immediately raised her head. After meeting Mr. Gu's sight, she still felt nervous: "Grandpa, are you awake?"
Qin Zhi'ai thought that she would hear Mr. Gu question why she was here, or just ignore her as usual, but she never expected that Mr. Gu would stare at her for a while, then say "um", then struggled, wanting to sit up.
Qin Zhi'ai stretched out her hand and helped Mr. Gu.
Qin Zhi'ai knew that Mr. Gu didn't like to talk to her, so seeing that he didn't speak, she just sat beside her and remained silent.
The atmosphere was unavoidably awkward. In order to relieve the tension in her heart, Qin Zhi'ai washed two apples, peeled them, cut them into small pieces, and put them in a glass bowl. Then she took a toothpick and stuck it on one of the apples. , and handed it to Mr. Gu: "Grandpa, please eat some fruit."
Old Mr. Gu glanced at Qin Zhi'ai, and then at the apple slices in the bowl. He didn't pick it up, but raised his chin at the bedside table beside him: "Put that first."
Qin Zhi'ai followed suit.
The ward fell into silence again, but not long after this time, Mama Zhang came over with breakfast.
Zhang Ma asked Qin Zhi'ai to have breakfast before leaving, but Qin Zhi'ai randomly made an excuse and left.
After Zhang Ma sent Qin Zhi'ai back, she helped Mr. Gu arrange breakfast.
The breakfast was brought from home, and it was extraordinarily rich, but Mr. Gu seemed to have no appetite, and pointed to a bowl of apple cubes on the table beside him, motioning for Mama Zhang to pass it to him.
In the morning, what fruit do you eat?
Mrs. Zhang wanted to persuade Mr. Gu to drink porridge, but Mr. Gu turned his back on him. Mrs. Zhang had to pass the apples over. Mr. Gu took the fork and ate them one by one.
