Chapter 719: Chapter 475 What is Called Mother (First Update) _2

Impossible?

Even though he wanted very much to embrace his great-grandson, he felt he needed to remind their bratty lad to exercise some restraint. Just look at how worn out Linlin was, it pained him to see.

If Grandpa Jing knew of the old man’s thoughts, he would probably feel like crying but couldn’t shed a tear.

It was clear that he only had some meat soup last night, and didn’t actually eat the meat; this accusation was indeed wrongly placed.

"There is something a bit different." Song Qi shared his observation with Grandpa Jing, "I feel that Linlin seems different today, she seems... particularly happy; but I don’t know how to describe this kind of happiness radiating from her."

"Is that so?" Grandpa Jing looked at Song Qi, pondered over it, "It does seem that way." He hadn’t really paid attention earlier, but now that Song Qi mentioned it, he really could feel it; had the lass met with something happy today?

Song Qi nodded.

Without further speculations, Grandpa Jing then instructed Song Qi, "Make some good soup and other nutritious meals for Linlin tonight, seeing her so tired makes my heart ache."

"Rest assured, Grandpa, I’ve already ordered it." Song Qi was very proactive in nourishing Mu Lin’s health; it was too late to prepare last night, but today, he had a whole day to do so, especially since Mu Lin didn’t eat lunch at home.

Back in her room, Mu Lin almost fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow; perhaps it was because she had been worn out during the day.

In the evening, around five-thirty, when Jing Chen arrived home and saw Grandpa Jing, the old man hurriedly instructed him, "Xiaochen, come over here."

"Grandpa?" Jing Chen sat down next to Grandpa Jing. Originally, since he didn’t see Mu Lin, he had intended to go straight upstairs.

"Did you, in all honesty, tire the lass out last night?" Grandpa Jing asked blatantly and straightforwardly.

What does he mean?

Jing Chen was startled at first, then he realized what Grandpa Jing was asking, and he immediately shook his head, "No, we both went to bed early last night." Mu Lin had started going to bed early, making him also adopt the habit of early sleep.

However, when asked by Grandpa Jing, Jing Chen remembered being rejected by Mu Lin last night and couldn’t help but sigh unconsciously.

He wondered if he would be able to enjoy the ’meat’ today.

"Really?" Grandpa Jing’s gaze oozed doubt.

Jing Chen looked helplessly at Grandpa Jing, "Why would I lie to you?" He thought, since when did his grandpa start caring about his personal affairs?

Jing Chen felt quite frustrated.

Grandpa Jing nodded, "That’s good". But looking at Jing Chen, he asked again, "Xiaochen, don’t you feel that something has been off with Linlin these past two days?" He felt something was off yesterday too, but it seemed even more prominent today.

Jing Chen responded, "What are you referring to, Grandpa?"

"The lass went out this morning and didn’t return home until around two in the afternoon. She chatted with me for about ten minutes before going to sleep, while a nap is good, but..." Grandpa Jing turned to Jing Chen, "I don’t recall ever seeing the lass go to sleep at this hour, wouldn’t have it caused any issues to her health?" He was truly concerned.

Upon hearing this, Jing Chen slightly frowned, "I’m not sure either; but Linlin felt her pulse a few days ago and said there was nothing wrong, just some minor discomfort from the different environment?" Although, now, after hearing what Grandpa Jing said, Jing Chen began to doubt.

Was it really just discomfort from the different environment? Furthermore, Jing Chen thought about how Mu Lin refused him last night and didn’t want to talk much; and that strange expression she had when they were in E Country.

Could it really be? Jing Chen could hardly sit still at that moment.

"Discomfort from a different environment?" Hearing this, Grandpa Jing murmured softly, "You mean, the lass has been showing these symptoms for a few days now?"

"Why didn’t you take the lass to the hospital for a check-up? Even though the lass is highly skilled in medicine, sometimes physicians can’t treat themselves, don’t you understand this simple truth?" Grandpa Jing felt that he should really worry for his grandson.

He didn’t have to worry about everything, but for these types of issues, he believed the older generation was more knowledgeable.

No, they must get it checked.

Jing Chen kept silent, only to hear Grandpa Jing continue, "How about this, tomorrow you take the lass to the Military Hospital, or directly ask Doctor Mei and the others to come over for a check-up." Otherwise, he really wouldn’t feel at ease, just thinking about it, Grandpa Jing felt anxious.

Especially after hearing that Mu Lin had been like this for a few days now.

This lass, she went to see Doctor Mei today but she didn’t ask him to check on her health.

Grandpa Jing didn’t know the details and thus, was full of assumptions.

If she was uncomfortable due to the foreign environment, he could understand as she had never been abroad before, it was a common occurrence; but now, she was back home and still feeling this way.

How was he supposed to feel at ease?

Jing Chen nodded, "I understand." After saying that, he quickly stood up, "I’ll go check on her." He couldn’t sit still for even a moment longer.

"Go ahead." Grandpa Jing said, "Also, bring her down for dinner." It was already past five, if she slept too much now, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

He nodded slightly and quickly left the room, reaching the upstairs within a few steps.

By the time Jing Chen returned to the room, Mu Lin was already awake. She looked up at him when she heard the door open, the subtle curve of her lips surprised Jing Chen unconsciously.
