Chapter 417: Chapter 417 Unforgiven (4)_1

"I’m going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy an electric fan. You stay here, and my younger siblings will come later," said Ruan Jianguo’s voice.

"Mm," Shu Jiao replied softly, paused, and then added, "When you come back, bring a chicken. I’ll go to the hospital kitchen later to stew it. Both Jiaojiao and Mom need to be nourished."

"Okay," Ruan Jianguo responded, followed by the sound of footsteps, which must have been him leaving.

Jiaojiao didn’t want to face Shu Jiao, so she could only continue to pretend to sleep, thinking that she would probably not stay in the ward for long. Then she could open her eyes, and that way, she wouldn’t have to face her.

But since Ruan Jianguo left, she never heard any footsteps indicating someone leaving.

Instead, even with her eyes closed, she could feel a pair of emotion-filled eyes steadily on her.

Jiaojiao started to get agitated, feeling indescribably uneasy.

Just as she was about to open her eyes and directly ask her to leave, she suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance approaching her, causing her whole body to tense up. She realized it must be Shu Jiao getting closer, and she subconsciously adjusted her breathing to be even lighter, afraid that Shu Jiao would realize she wasn’t asleep.

As she held her breath, wondering what Shu Jiao was about to do, she felt a pair of trembling lips land on her sticky forehead.

"Jiaojiao..." followed by the warmth of teardrops.

Jiaojiao knew these were Shu Jiao’s tears, and her heart twinged with pain.

She slowly opened her eyes, and immediately met Shu Jiao’s gaze.

Shu Jiao was startled, and almost immediately stepped back, her hands moving awkwardly in front of her: "Jiaojiao, don’t be scared, don’t be scared, Mom didn’t do anything, really didn’t do anything," she said in a very panicked tone.

During these days in the hospital, Jiaojiao hadn’t allowed Shu Jiao to come close. Bathing had always been taken care of by Zhao Li, Du Qing, and Wu Le in turns. Today, Wu Le hadn’t managed to come yet, and Zhao Li hadn’t arrived either, which provided Shu Jiao with the opportunity to get close to her daughter.

What she didn’t expect was that as soon as she touched her daughter, she immediately woke up.

Fearing that she might burst into hysterical screaming, she hastily explained.

Watching Shu Jiao like this, Jiaojiao’s heart felt an inexplicable sting once more.

She turned her gaze away, looking at the Ruanlin Family matriarch beside her, who was still sleeping with her eyes closed.

"Has Grandma woken up?" she asked.

At this question, Shu Jiao was taken aback, unsure if Jiaojiao was speaking to her. But there was no one else in the room, and with some cautious delight, she carefully answered, "She has, she ate lunch before sleeping." Saying this, she added with some distress, "Are you hungry, Jiaojiao? Mom saved some porridge for you. Would you like to eat some?"

Jiaojiao reached out to touch her stomach, indeed feeling a bit of hunger.

Because of headaches and dizziness these past few days, she had hardly eaten anything and had little appetite. But now that she felt hungry, she naturally wanted to eat something.

Only—

With no one else in the room, would she have to be fed by her?

She didn’t want that.

Jiaojiao pouted a little petulantly.

"You’re hungry, aren’t you? Mom will go get it for you right away. Just wait, okay? Just wait," Shu Jiao said, seeing that expression and knowing Jiaojiao was indeed hungry. She quickly turned and left the room, her speed causing Jiaojiao’s eyes to well up once more.

Shu Jiao was fast. Jiaojiao had been to this hospital’s cafeteria; it would take at least five minutes to get there and back, but Shu Jiao returned in just over a minute, clearly having run.
