In the car.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the scenery flowing by outside the window, thinking about how good Grandmother Yuan had been to her over the years, and she was genuinely worried.

Popping her little head out from the middle of the car seat, she asked the driver in front, "Uncle Gu, is Grandma okay? Has she been to the hospital? Did Uncle Yuan examine her?"

The Yuan Family was a Medical World Family, and for so many years, Grandmother Yuan had been healthy and had seldom been ill. Why had her health suddenly declined?

Ruan Jiaojiao was both anxious and uneasy.

The longer she stayed in this world, the more attached she became, hoping everyone would be well.

"Miss Jiaojiao, don’t worry, the old lady is not in any serious trouble. She went to the hospital for a check-up. Her mood might have been affected by something, which is why she hasn’t been eating much. The eldest young master asked you to come and keep her company."

Hearing the driver say this, Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, somewhat reassured.

From home to the city, then to the Yuan Family’s house, it took over an hour. The car stopped in the Yuan Family’s courtyard, and Ruan Jiaojiao immediately got out. Not seeing Aunt Liu waiting for her, she knew that Grandmother Yuan must not be doing well.

For the past two years, every time she came, Aunt Liu would greet her at the door. Her absence this time surely meant Grandmother Yuan wasn’t doing well.

Ruan Jiaojiao quickly walked towards the house and encountered Mrs. Yuan—Xu Wan—at the door, whom she rarely saw.

Xu Wan loved to play cards, and usually, on the days she visited, she would go out to play. Over the years, they had met no more than ten times.

This time, Xu Wan didn’t look at her with the usual disdain but paused at the door, giving her a meaningful glance, then walked away, hips swaying. She seemed to be muttering something, but Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t catch it clearly.

"Miss Jiaojiao, you’ve finally arrived." Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of bird’s nest soup, and she sighed in relief when she saw Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Grandma Liu, how is Grandma Yuan?" Ruan Jiaojiao quickly asked as she approached.

Aunt Liu sighed, "She hasn’t eaten anything for three days now. Even her strong body can’t withstand this. Miss Jiaojiao, our miss likes you the most. You must persuade her."

"Okay," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.

Seeing the bird’s nest soup in Aunt Liu’s hands, she said, "Grandma Liu, give me the bird’s nest soup—I’ll go in and accompany Grandma."

"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you, Miss Jiaojiao." Aunt Liu handed the bird’s nest soup to Ruan Jiaojiao, and stood at the staircase after watching her go in, looking at a painting of Yuan Manman, her eyes flickering.

Grandmother Yuan’s room was right next to the staircase. When Ruan Jiaojiao entered, she smelled a strong medicinal scent. Before, the room had always been filled with the aroma of incense from the Incense Burner, but this was the first time it was overwhelmed by the smell of medicine, and her heart sank.

Entering the room and seeing Grandmother Yuan’s condition made her heart clench even more.

At ninety-one, Grandmother Yuan had always looked after herself and seemed remarkably spirited. But now, lying in bed, she looked like a frail old woman, propped against the headboard, her eyes lifelessly fixed in one direction, and even her once lively white hair seemed to have lost its vitality overnight.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt a deep ache in her heart.

"Grandma," she called softly, afraid that a louder voice might startle her.

At the sound of Ruan Jiaojiao’s voice, Grandmother Yuan immediately turned her head. The lifeless look in her eyes seemed to be instantly injected with vitality, filling them with life.
