Chapter 396: Chapter 396 I will return to the country immediately

Leng Jing and Nana remained inseparably by the hospital vigil.

By evening, Grandfather Gong’s condition was still not optimistic.

Han Yingnai had gone out to buy dinner, while Leng Jing continued to keep watch outside the ward, leaning wearily against the bench to rest with closed eyes.

Just as she was in a state of blurry consciousness, a sudden flurry of footsteps came, followed by a young nurse’s panicked cry, "The patient is not going to make it..."

Leng Jing’s soul scattered in fright, and she staggered to her feet. Mu WuXie came over, "You go in! Talk to him, try to stimulate his will to live!"

Leng Jing stumbled into the room and leaned over the hospital bed, "Grandfather Gong, hold on, Xiaoqiao... she..."

Watching Grandfather Gong’s vital signs grow weaker, Leng Jing finally made up her mind, "Xiaoqiao has been found, she’s on her way here! She’s very worried after hearing about your illness! You wouldn’t want Xiaoqiao to worry about seeing you like this when she arrives, would you? Please, you must get better soon!"

Mu WuXie looked at Leng Jing, not particularly surprised, assuming she said those words to stimulate Grandfather Gong’s will to live.

Throughout, Leng Jing kept talking to Grandfather Gong non-stop. Thankfully, in the end, the old man pulled through another crisis.

Leng Jing, wiping the tears from her face, walked out, then hurriedly ran to the restroom and with trembling hands, dialed Xiaoqiao’s phone number.

"Hello, Xiao Jing..."

"Xiaoqiao, don’t talk, just listen to me."

"What’s wrong?"

"There’s something I need to tell you, but don’t worry too much. Your grandfather is sick..."

From the other side of the phone came the sound of something shattering on the floor. Leng Jing quickly asked, "Xiaoqiao, what’s wrong with you?"

"I know, I’ll come back to the country right away." Xiaoqiao answered directly, her tone already calmer.

"But Gu Hangshen... Xiaoqiao, please don’t panic, Grandfather Gong is no longer in danger, you..."

"Xiao Jing, there’s no need to say more, I understand everything. If grandfather wasn’t seriously ill, you wouldn’t have called me at all! And... I’m sorry! I’ve also been keeping something from you!" Xiaoqiao paused, "You don’t have to worry about me being discovered by Gu Hangshen on my return because, he’s already found me."

"What did you say?" Leng Jing was astonished.

"I’ll explain it to you later. I’ll get there as soon as I can, please take care of grandfather!"

"Don’t worry!" Leng Jing was full of suspicion.

To think, in the end, she still had to tell Xiaoqiao...

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoqiao immediately called Long Yan.

"Where are you now?"

"I’m getting ready to go to the airport!"

"Can you manage to come pick me up? I want to go with you!"

Long Yan’s side was filled with a severe fit of coughing, "You want to go with me? Xiaoqiao, have you finally come to your senses and decided to elope with me?"

"My grandfather is sick, I must go back. Otherwise, I might... not even see his face for the last time!"

On that end, Long Yan fell silent for a moment, then put joking aside, "It may not be safe for you to return with me. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up."

"I was too anxious, I didn’t consider this and just thought of you first. I understand, there’s no need for you to send someone, I can ask Xiaowen to take me to the airport!"

"Thinking of me first... Xiaoqiao, your words today are truly pleasing to the ear!" Long Yan said, teasing with a light chuckle, trying to alleviate some of her tension.

Comforting people was not exactly Long Yan’s forte, he coughed lightly, only managing to say, "Don’t worry too much, your grandfather will be fine!"

"Thank you."
