Chapter 801: Miss Sorry
“… We will also arrange for the best doctors and nurses to watch over Old Master Gu, but you must be mentally prepared…”
After the doctor briefly explained the situation, Old Master Gu was wheeled to the intensive care unit.
“Later when Old Master Gu wakes up, we’ll check on him again. Please press the bell button if you need anything.” The doctor left after leaving his instructions.
Not long after, Old Master Gu, who was lying in a hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes and said in a very weak voice, “Shao… Ting…”
“Grandpa…” Shu Pan tugged at Gu Shaoting’s sleeve, probably with a little too much excitement. Grandpa had finally woken up, but he was acting strangely.
“Grandpa, it’s Shaoting. I’m here.” Gu Shaoting leaned forward and gently held the old master’s hand.
“Dad, we’re all here.” Gu Shaoting’s uncle held Old Master Gu’s other hand.
“Shaoting… Gu Feng…” Old Master Gu was still in a daze. He kept calling out to them even when they were holding his hands.
After calling out a few more times, he realized that they were already by his side. He moved his lips and said in a weak voice, “I… Am fine… Don’t worry…”
“Get well soon, okay? Xiaobao is still waiting to play with his Great Grandpa.” Gu Shaoting said anxiously.
“Grandpa, you have to get well soon.” Gu Huanhuan sounded nasal, as if she had been crying.
“Oh, it’s Huan… Grandpa… Still hasn’t attended your… Wedding dinner!” Old Master Gu was now very clear-headed and recognized everyone in the room.
“That’s right, so you must take good care of yourself. When I get a boyfriend, I’ll bring him home to introduce to you.” Gu Huanhuan said jokingly.
“Good… Good…” Grandpa Gu said “good” several times.
Gu Shaoting saw that his grandfather had just woken up but said so many things and figured that he was probably tired, so he pressed the bell button to get someone over to examine him.
Everyone moved away from the bed. Fortunately, after the doctor examined him, he said that the old master was lucid but sleepy, so it was fine to have just one person stay with him.
“Why don’t all of you go home? I’ll stay.” Gu Shaoting said to everyone.
“Let me do it.” Gu Shaoting’s uncle said while glancing at his father.
“Uncle, you can take over me tomorrow morning. I’ll call you if there’s anything.” Gu Shaoting rejected his uncle immediately. Gu Feng was also getting on in years and probably shouldn’t stay up late. He was younger and stronger, so it was better for him to stay the night.
“Then I’ll ask Auntie Li to cook something and bring it to you.” Shu Pan thought for a moment and said.
“Okay, go home quickly. You’ve been away for so long, Xiaobao is probably already asking for you.” Gu Shaoting said.
Everyone left the ward to go home and visit again tomorrow.
While waiting for the elevator, Gu Huanhuan’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at it. It was an unknown number.
Nonetheless, she pressed the answer button. “Miss Hit-and-run…”
A deep voice sounded from the other end of the phone, but the tone was teasing.
Why did Gu Huanhuan find the voice familiar? She seemed to have heard it before.
When the elevator arrived, she waved her hand and told everyone to go ahead; she would drive herself home.
“Who is this, please?” Gu Huanhuan was certain that she did not know the caller.
“Miss, you knocked into my car. I saw the phone number you left me, and you signed off as Miss Sorry.” The voice on the other end of the phone calmly explained why he called.
