ignored her question, his hands in his pockets as he walked straight ahead.Fu Xiaoyao pouted and huddled behind him."Hey, hero saved the damsel in distress back" Seeing Lu Hanzhen leading Fu Xiaoyao i..."According to Mr. [Name], he doesn't seem to be awake yet."

"Is he still asleep" Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hands, her heart filled with worry. "No, I have to go see for myself."

Saying that, she was about to walk towards the entrance hall.

Auntie Song grabbed her hand, "Madam, don't worry, there's no use worrying. Let's eat breakfast first, and then we'll go to the nursing home to see Master after breakfast."

"Has grandpa already been sent to the nursing home" Fu Xiaoyao asked.

"Yes, I sent it over this morning. The master is still there with him, so Madam, you should calm down and have breakfast first. Don't worry about going over later when the old master hasn't woken up yet and you end up starving yourself." Song Yi persuaded her.

Fu Xiaoyao listened to this, bit her lip, "I understand."

She loosened her clenched fist with a resigned sigh and followed Aunt Song to the restaurant.

After breakfast, Fu Xiaoyao set off for the sanatorium with Aunt Song.

The address of the nursing home, Lu Hanchuan had already mentioned it on the phone before, it's located in the suburbs of City C, still quite far from the city center.

By the time Fu Xiaoyao arrived, two hours had already passed since they were supposed to leave.

She carried a thermos and, accompanied by Auntie Song and the nursing staff from the convalescent home, successfully found her grandfather's ward.

Lu Hanchuan was leaning against the outside of the ward smoking, she saw him at a glance and quickened her pace to run over, "Hanchuan."

Lu Hánchuan's hand paused mid-smoke, he turned his head to look.

Seeing her run so fast, and in such a hurry, he frowned slightly, "Slow down."

The ground was so slippery, yet she wasn't afraid of falling.

Lu Hanzhan's reminder was heard by Fu Xiaoyao. She obediently slowed her pace to come before him, "Grandpa, are you alright"

"Not awake yet." Lu Hanchuan snuffed out his cigarette and tossed it into the nearby trash can.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at the hospital room door behind him, her face full of worry, "How did Grandpa faint"

The other day it was still perfectly fine, but suddenly...

"I've been provoked." Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples and replied.

"Stimulating" Fu Xiaoyao's pretty face crinkled.

"My grandfather learned by chance yesterday that something had happened to the Lu Corporation recently, and his blood pressure has been a bit high lately. He just suddenly collapsed." Lu Hanchuan closed his eyes wearily.

Fu Xiaoyao understood, looking at him with some worry, "So you went to the old house last night because of grandpa's accident, right"

"Not bad."

Fu Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment, "No wonder I felt vaguely uneasy last night, it turns out..."

Having said that, she paused, then changed the subject, asking, "Besides being stimulated and fainting, is there anything else wrong with Grandpa"

Lu Hanchuan gently shook his head. "Not for now."

"That's good then." Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath.

After questioning the old man, she turned her attention to Lu Hanchuan, “And you, did you stay up all night last night”

She looked at his dark circles and the faint blue stubble on his chin, her eyes filled with a hint of pity.

In just one night, his beard grew out, which shows how much pressure he was under last night.

Lu Hanchuan opened his eyes, a dark light flashing in them, "How can I sleep with my grandfather like this"

"Also." Fu Xiaoyao nodded, feeling that she had asked a very stupid question.

"Grandpa, from now on..." Lu Hanchuan adjusted his posture.

Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly asked, "What will happen next"

"He may have to spend the rest of his life in bed or in a wheelchair. This time, although the incident didn't cause any physical harm to him, it did affect his brain. His control over his body is more sluggish than before..."

He suddenly hugged Fu Xiaoyao tightly, his voice choked with self-blame. "It's my fault that I let grandpa down. It's also my fault that I didn't bring grandpa here sooner. If I had, maybe grandpa wouldn't have become like this."

"Hánchuān..." Fù Xiǎoyáo dazedly returned to his embrace.

This was the first time she'd seen him so vulnerable.

She was used to his domineering nature and his indifference, but she really wasn't used to him being like this.

And she wanted to say that it wasn't his fault, but for some reason, she couldn't find the words.

Click!

The door to the ward behind him suddenly creaked open.

Fu Xiaoyao gently pushed Lu Hanzchuan away and turned to look, "Fu Bo."

Fu Bo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Young mistress, you're here too."

"Well, come here, Grandpa." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

"Fu Bo's smile broadened. "Just in time, the old master has woken up."

"Grandpa woke up" Lu Hanchuan's dark eyes lit up, and he didn't wait for Fu Bo to reply. He strode towards the ward directly.

Fu Xiaoyao reached out her hand to stop him, but it was too late; he had already gone in.

"Really, why the rush" Fu Xiaoyao muttered.

Fu Bo chuckled twice, "Master has woken up. It's normal for the young master to be so anxious. Madam, you should go in and see Master too."

"Alright, then I'll go in." Fu Xiaoyao replied to him, and then walked into the ward.

The ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, and as soon as she entered, she subconsciously took a sharp breath. After she got used to the unpleasant smell, she let out a soft sigh and finally relaxed.

"Grandpa," Fu Xiaoyao sat down, putting the thermos on the bedside table, then looked at the bed and softly called out to her grandfather.

The old man slowly turned his neck, "Xiao Yao is here."

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao pulled over a chair and sat down by the bedside. "I came to see you."

"Very well, Grandfather is pleased." The old man smiled kindly.

Lu Hanchuan pointed at the thermos Fu Xiaoyao had just put down. "What's in there"

"It's the soup that Aunt Song made for grandpa."

Saying that, she got up and opened the thermos, ladling a bowl of soup out from inside.

"Hanchuan, help Grandpa sit up."

"Hmm," Lu Hanchuan replied, helping the old man to his feet.

The old man, looking at the well-matched young couple, was very pleased. "Seeing that you two get along so well, I'm truly happy," he said.

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao subconsciously looked at Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan felt her gaze and the corners of his thin lips curled into a slight arc, but it disappeared quickly. "Grandpa is happy, that's all that matters. Xiaoyao, you feed Grandpa the soup, I'll go out and find out about Grandpa's condition."

"Alright, go ahead then." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Lu Hanchuan got up and went out.

When he came back, it was already half an hour later.

Fu Xiaoyao carried the rinsed thermos out of the bathroom and saw him. She hurriedly put down the thermos and asked, "Hanchuan, what did the doctor say"

Lu Hanchuan kept his composure, shaking his head without answering.

Fu Xiaoyao saw his expression so serious, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He's like this, could it be that grandpa's situation has something to do with...

"Xiao Yao!" Lu Hanchuan interrupted Fu Xiaoyao's guess.

>

"You go out first. I have something to talk to Grandpa about." Lu Hanchuan said to her, looking at the old man.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't really want to go out, she just stood there without moving. The old man smiled at her, "Xiaoyao, be a good girl."

"But..."

"Get out!" Lu Hanchuan repeated, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Fu Xiaoyao helplessly could only grit her teeth, taking hesitant steps backward with each turn of her head. Her pace was heavy and slow, mirroring the tightness in her chest filled with worry for her grandfather.

After leaving the ward, Fu Xiaoyao waited quietly outside the wall, just like Lu Hanchuan did before, waiting for Lu Hanchuan to come out.

After a while, footsteps suddenly sounded on the right side. Aunt Song came over with her bags and when she saw her, she was slightly surprised, "Madam, what are you doing here"Xiaoyao could also see that he was serious. She was stunned, and after a long while, she moved her lips and said, "You...why are you so good to me""Didn't I say that I like you You never believe me, b...
