Chapter 894 I was Disappointed with You
As soon as Mumu came out of the room, he saw Kang Ruicheng pushing Tang Yulan away.
Tang Yulan was too old to stand up to Kang Ruicheng. She lost balance and fell to the flowerbed that had only dry soil.
“Granny Tang!” Mumu ran over and helped Tang Yulan up, asking, “does it hurt? Are you injured?”
Tang Yulan stood up unhurriedly, patted the dust off her body, and answered Mumu with a smile, “I’m fine.”
Mumu looked at Kang Ruicheng and did not cry as usual. Instead, he said in an unexpectedly calm voice, “Daddy, I’m very disappointed with you.”
He talked in English.
Kang Ruicheng responded, “Mumu, don’t you know who is our enemy and who is our friend?”
“Are Granny Zhou and Granny Tang your enemies?” Mumu shouted, “they have nothing to do with you!”
Kang Ruicheng knew that Mumu meant that Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan were innocent.
He walked over to Mumu and stared at the little boy coldly, asking, “Who taught you this?”
“It was Uncle Mu!” Mumu tried hard to recall what Mu Sijue had said, “he told me that I had nothing to do with the issue between you and him, so he wouldn’t hurt me. Daddy, why aren’t you like Uncle Mu? Why do you hurt Granny Zhou and Granny Tang?”
Kang Ruicheng sneered and said, “Listen, I can be like Mu Sijue, but my enemies won’t. Even if I let them go, they will never let me go, and you will be the first person around me to be hurt. I did this not only for me but also for you.”
Mumu shook his head and said, “Daddy, I still can’t understand you.”
Instead of continuing talking with Kang Ruicheng, he helped Tang Yulan back to the room.
Kang Ruicheng looked at Mumu’s back and said nothing in the end.
At this time, Dongzi came out of the room and said, “Brother Cheng, Mrs. Zhou seems to be in bad condition. What should we do?”
Kang Ruicheng ordered, “You stay here with Uncle He. If anything happens to Mrs. Zhou, you can take her to the hospital.”
Dongzi reminded him, “If so, Mu Sijue will find us.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Kang Ruicheng said, “if Mrs. Zhou really needs to see a doctor, she will be trouble. It will be better to leave this trouble to Mu Sijue.”
Dongzi nodded and said, “I see.”
After Kang Ruicheng left, Dongzi returned to the room.
Uncle He gave Aunt Zhou an intravenous drip. The medicine was injected into the old lady’s veins through the IV infusion tube.
Mumu stood by the bed. His tears fell again when he saw the blood on Aunt Zhou’s head.
Tang Yulan remembered that the little guy had not eaten yet, so she said softly, “Mumu, why don’t you eat something first. You are still young. You can’t be hungry.”
Mumu shook his head and was not willing to leave Aunt Zhou at all.
Tang Yulan had to say, “Don’t worry, I will accompany Granny Zhou.”
Suddenly, more tears rolled down Mumu’s face. He leaned against the bed and cried loudly.
This made Tang Yulan at a loss. She stroked his back and asked, “Mumu, what’s wrong?”
“It’s all my fault…” Mumu’s voice was slowly filled with remorse, “Granny Zhou got hurt and fainted because of me. It’s my mistake…”
Only then did Tang Yulan realize that the little guy had been forbearing from crying and never stopped blaming himself.
Tang Yulan sighed and comforted him, “Both Granny Zhou and I know that you didn’t do it on purpose, and Granny Zhou won’t blame you. Don’t cry, okay?”
“Ahem… ahem…” Mumu cried so badly that he couldn’t help coughing. He sobbed and couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
Tang Yulan had no choice but to let him cry until he stopped.
Tang Yulan waited for half an hour.
When Mumu was willing to raise his head, both his eyes and nose were red, with tears welling up in his eyes. He kept sobbing, and snot bubbles kept coming out of his nose.
Tang Yulan took a tissue and wiped Mumu’s tears and snot. She said, “With the doctor here, Granny Zhou will be fine. By the way, do you know what Granny Zhou wants you to do now?”
“Wha-” Mumu choked with sobs, “wha-what?”
Tang Yulan said seriously, “She hopes you can eat well. Don’t be hungry.”
“Granny Tang,” Mumu rubbed her eyes and said, “other than knowing my mommy’s thoughts, you also know what Granny Zhou is thinking. Why are you so cool?”
“I’m the babies’ grandmother, so I can understand Granny Zhou,” Tang Yulan said, “if you don’t eat, you will feel very uncomfortable. Granny Zhou loves you so much. If you’re not comfortable, she will also feel bad.”
“All right,” Mumu finally compromised, “I’ll eat.”
Dongzi immediately asked someone to bring food. Tang Yulan accompanied the little guy to finish them.
At about ten o’clock, Aunt Zhou finally finished her IV drip. Mumu was the first person to ask the doctor, “Uncle He, when will Granny Zhou wake up?”
“Maybe tomorrow,” Uncle He answered, “when you wake up tomorrow morning, Granny Zhou will be awake.”
Mumu immediately climbed onto the bed and said, “I want to sleep with Granny Zhou here!”
Dongzi knew that this time, even Tang Yulan could not stop Mumu. So he had to ask someone to install the heating equipment. Soon, the old house was surrounded by warm air, which made it much more comfortable.
Mumu lay on his side and looked at Aunt Zhou. He was unwilling to close his eyes.
Tang Yulan poured a half cup of warm water. She then took a cotton swab, dipped it in the water, and moistened Aunt Zhou’s lips little by little. This also helped Aunt Zhou have some water.
When she wet the swab, Tang Yulan looked at Mumu and said, “Go to sleep. I will take care of Granny Zhou.”
Mumu agreed and got into bed. He hugged Aunt Zhou’s arm and soon fell asleep.
After feeding Aunt Zhou a half cup of water with cotton swabs, Tang Yulan also lay down. But she couldn’t sleep well all night. From time to time, she would get up to check Aunt Zhou’s condition.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhou did not have any abnormalities all night, and the bleeding also stopped.
At dawn, Tang Yulan finally fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she had slept. But when a brand new day came, she was awakened by Mumu.
“Granny Tang, Granny Tang!” Mumu’s immature voice was full of anxiety, “wake up, Granny Zhou has a fever!”
Tang Yulan suddenly opened her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong with Granny Zhou?”
Mumu said with red eyes, “Granny Zhou has a fever!”
Tang Yulan touched Aunt Zhou’s forehead and found her body temperature was extremely high. She subconsciously called her, “Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou?”
“…” Aunt Zhou did not react at all.
“Granny Tang,” Mumu cried so hard yesterday that his eyes were already swollen. But he couldn’t help shedding tears now. “What’s wrong with Granny Zhou? I’m already awake. Why hasn’t Granny Zhou woken up yet?”
“Don’t be afraid,” Tang Yulan hurriedly put on her shoes and said, “I’ll call the doctor.”
Uncle He and Dongzi slept in the next room. Tang Yulan directly pushed the door open, woke Uncle He up, and asked him to see Aunt Zhou.
In the end, Tang Yulan looked at Dongzi and said, “Ask Kang Ruicheng to come over.”
Dongzi didn’t care much about Tang Yulan’s words. He slowly put on his shoes and coat, saying, “It’s too early. Don’t disturb Brother Cheng. I’ll go to see what’s going on first.”
“Who do you think you are!” Tang Yulan was angry. She glared at Dongzi coldly and said, “Aunt Zhou has been in a coma for a whole night, and now she has a fever. She is already an old woman in her fifties and may have serious problems at any time. If it’s really beyond redemption, can you take the responsibility?”
“…”
Only then did Dongzi realize that the old lady of the Lu family could not be underestimated. No wonder she had not shown any fear since she was captured.
Dongzi said, “I’m going to call Brother Cheng now.”
After Dongzi left, Tang Yulan hurried back to the room and asked Uncle He, “How is Aunt Zhou?”
“She is in bad condition,” Uncle He said, “you’d better discuss with Ah Cheng whether to send the old lady to the hospital.”
Kang Ruicheng arrived soon. Tang Yulan said to Uncle He, “Tell Kang Ruicheng about Aunt Zhou’s condition!”
Aunt Zhou’s situation was really not optimistic, so Uncle He had to tell Kang Ruicheng the truth.
Tang Yulan added, “Kang Ruicheng, you should send Aunt Zhou to the hospital this time, right? If something really happens to her, Sijue will not let you go.”
“Daddy,” Mumu grabbed Kang Ruicheng’s cuff with red eyes and said, “please, let Granny Zhou see the doctor, okay?”
Seeing Mumu was about to cry again, Kang Ruicheng gave Dongzi a look and said, “Send the old lady to the hospital.”
Dongzi asked someone to prepare the car, picked up Aunt Zhoum, and went out. Tang Yulan wanted to go with him subconsciously.
Kang Ruicheng blocked Tang Yulan and said, “You stay here and follow my arrangement. Once I find you want to do something, Mrs. Zhou will die before she gets to the hospital, I promise.”
“Granny Tang, don’t worry,” Mumu said, “I will take care of Granny Zhou.”
Mumu quickly ran out and followed Dongzi to the car.
The driver asked, “Dongzi, which hospital shall we go to?”
“It looks really serious,” Dongzi said, “let’s go to the Eighth People’s Hospital. Mumu, sit well. We’re going to drive.”
Mumu acted as if he couldn’t hear Dongzi’s words. He took a blanket and covered it on Aunt Zhou. He squatted down beside Aunt Zhou and kept saying, “Granny Zhou, don’t be afraid. We’ll see a doctor soon. You’ll be fine.”
In less than 30 minutes, they arrived at the parking lot of the emergency department of the Eighth People’s Hospital. The doctors and nurses sent Aunt Zhou directly to the operating room.
Mumu was stopped at the door of the operating room. He waited in front of the door without saying a word.
Thirty minutes later, the attending doctor came out and said, “The patient needs to have a minor operation. Relatives, please pay the money and come back to sign the doc.u.ment.”
“…” Relatives?
Not knowing what to do, Dongzi did not respond.
The doctor frowned and asked, “Who are her relatives?”
“Doctor, she is my granny,” Mumu said, “I can sign!”
“You’re not an adult yet,” the doctor said, “where are your parents?”
Mumu shook his head and answered, “I have no mother, and my dad won’t come either.” He took the doc.u.ment from the doctor and signed his English name in the lower right corner. “Doctor, can you wake my granny up?”
“The old lady’s injury has dragged on for a long time, and it has become severe,” the doctor touched Mumu’s head and said, “but I will wake her up.”
Mumu’s eyes reddened again. But this time, he didn’t cry. He just nodded hard and said, “Doctor, please!”
