Nanxi shook her head, not wanting to think about him again, she shouldn’t reminisce!

Nanxi came out of the washroom, ready to leave.

Looking at herself, she couldn’t go anywhere else but back to school, plus she had to tell Yang Su and Lan Qiqi to keep their mouths shut about her appearance!

What about work tomorrow?

Would she be fired if she took another day off?

Nanxi worried.

Moreover, she remembered that the school graduation photos were to be taken on the 23rd.

Their timing was close, and if her facial rash didn’t subside by then, this graduation photo would surely be one she’d never forget!

Nanxi was walking along the corridor of the hospital with a headache when she saw an elderly woman in a gown, walking unsteadily with a cane.

Promptly supporting the elder, Nanxi asked, “Ma’am, where are you going?”

“Just to the bathroom!” said the elderly woman.

“I’ll help you…

Why didn’t you call the nurse?”

At her age, going to the washroom alone could be dangerous.

The elderly woman explained, “The nurse just stepped out, so I didn’t call.

I thought I was fit enough to use the washroom myself.”

“Ma’am, you’re really not taking your health seriously!”

The elderly woman smiled without replying.

After helping the elderly woman out of the washroom, which took about five minutes, Nanxi grinned and said, “Ma’am, it’s my duty to assist you!”

Having a grandma at home, Nanxi always felt a kinship whenever she encountered elderly people of a similar age.

Nanxi helped the elderly woman into her bed.

Seeing that no one was in the room, she pulled over a chair and kept the woman company by chatting with her.

Through the conversation, Nanxi found out to her surprise that the elderly woman was a widow.

She had a son who was a soldier, but he died on duty over a decade ago.

She was then placed in a nursing home by the government, where she lived till now!

As she grew old and fell frail, she was admitted to the hospital.

Due to the absence of any relative, the nurses’ care sometimes slackened, which resulted in the instance of her going to the bathroom alone.

The woman took a liking to Nanxi.

Looking at the rash on Nanxi’s face, she squinted and said, “What happened to this clean and clear face of yours?”

Nanxi stuck out her tongue, “I blame myself for eating something I wasn’t supposed to, and it caused an allergic reaction!”

The elderly woman began to admonish her, saying that young people were too reckless when it came to their health.

They ate what they shouldn’t, and nowadays children were too spoiled.

Back in their days, they could eat anything…

Hearing her words, Nanxi felt even more embarrassed.

The elderly woman asked, “Have you seen a doctor?

What did they say?”

Nanxi replied, “Yes, I did.

The doctor said it would take about three days to recover.”

Hearing this, the elderly woman frowned, “Three days…

tsk tsk, how can you work during these three days?

As a young and lovely girl…

how will you do it?”

Nanxi smiled, “It’s okay, I’ll endure it until it’s over!”

“You can’t just endure it.

Young girls love to look pretty.

Even one day seems hard to endure, let alone three!”

The woman sighed, as if remembering something, she said, “Oh yes, I know an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who specializes in treating difficult illnesses, even ones that hospital doctors are unable to cure.

Maybe if you take some medicine from him, it won’t even take three days for you to get better!

He treated a former illness of mine!”

As she spoke, she pat her side, “I remember I have his phone number in my wallet, just wait a moment…”

Nanxi wanted to stop her, but she didn’t have the heart to interrupt the elderly woman’s enthusiasm.

Finally, the woman found her wallet from under her pillow and handed Nanxi a small piece of paper:

“Here it is!

Remember it on your phone, young girl.

I’ll need to keep this piece of paper as my memory isn’t too good.

I carry it with me to remind myself.”

Having no choice, Nanxi wrote down the number, thanked the elderly woman, who replied, “Don’t thank me, I should be thanking you for chatting with me today!”

A flicker passed through Nanxi’s eyes as she was reminded of her own grandmother.

Due to her uncle’s work, her schooling, and her cousin Liang Qiaoqiao’s job, her grandma, who lived on the fourth floor of the family home, was often left alone!

Though her grandma was rather robust for her age, she still had trouble climbing the stairs, which resulted in her mostly staying indoors!noveldrama

The twilight years of elderly people, at heart, all they expect is taking care of their descendants!

They hoped that Liang Youquan would marry Xu Mei soon, and that Liang Qiaoqiao and she would soon find their own partners…

Her grandma was always extremely happy each time she and Liang Qiaoqiao returned home.

She was also particularly pleased each time there was mention of a potential match for anyone in the family…

Nanxi suddenly realized that the time she spent with her grandmother was really too short, and she resolved to spend more time with her in the future!

…

When Nanxi was young, she often heard her mum mentioning her grandma.

In the name of love, her mum had left home unconditionally, but never in her heart!

Her mum would say, “Your grandma is a very kind person.

Although I got scolded and hit a lot when I was young, and during my ignorant youth, I even complained and blamed her…”

“But looking back now, all I feel is a gentle nostalgia!”

There are some people who you only realize the depth of their love for you when you’re far away from them—only then do you truly know they care for you.

After the nurse arrived, Nanxi bid goodbye to the elderly woman, reminding her to take good care of herself.

The elderly woman laughed heartily and reminded Nanxi to seek treatment from the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

Nanxi agreed!

When Nanxi received Lu Yinchu’s call, she had just left the ward.

Over the phone, he asked her, “Why haven’t you come out yet?”

Nanxi paused.

What did he mean by not coming out?

Go where?

“Mr Lu…”

“I’m at the hospital entrance, come out first then we’ll talk!”

After finishing his sentence, he hung up.

Hearing his voice, Nanxi noted that he sounded a bit cold.

She frowned.

She hadn’t done anything to annoy him.

Or perhaps he was venting on her after being annoyed elsewhere?

Nanxi was a little bit frustrated!

No, she was very frustrated!

Just before leaving the hospital, Nanxi suddenly realized something.

She stopped in her tracks, looked at the rash on her arm, bit her lip, and wondered how she could meet Lu Yinchu looking like this.

If he saw her like this, a lecture was the least of her worries; what embarrassed her more was the loss of face!

Nanxi wouldn’t go out.

She definitely couldn’t go out!

About five minutes later, her mobile phone rang again.

It was Lu Yinchu.

“Where are you?”

“…”

“I can see you!

Don’t walk around, just stay there and wait for me!”

“…”

“Lu….”

With a “beep”, the call ended.

Staring at her phone, Nanxi was stunned for a while.

Lifting her eyes to the exit, as expected, she saw a tall figure striding energetically towards her!
