Chapter 490: Raised An Ingrate
Time seemed to have been deliberately slowed down. Every minute and every second seemed so long.
Su Wan clenched her hands tightly, not knowing what to do.
It was time for dinner. Whether it was those in the ward performing surgery or those waiting anxiously outside the ward, none of them had eaten dinner yet. Therefore, Jiang Xuecheng went out to buy dinner first.
Only Su Wan and Xu Ziyao were outside the ward.
When Su Wan saw Xu Ziyao pacing up and down anxiously at the door of the ward, she subconsciously walked up and reached out to hold Xu Ziyao’s hand.
Xu Ziyao was thinner than she looked. Su Wan could feel the bones when she held Xu Ziyao’s hand.
Su Wan held Xu Ziyao’s hand, her eyes full of sincerity.
“Mother, don’t worry. Grandmother is such an optimistic person. She will be fine.”
Xu Ziyao did not expect Su Wan to pull her back. She felt the warmth in her palm. Xu Ziyao could feel the strength coming from her skin.
Xu Ziyao did not say a word. She just looked at Su Wan’s sincere face. For the first time, she felt that her daughter-in-law was not bad.
Xu Ziyao’s expression eased up. She nodded at Su Wan and finally stopped pacing aimlessly.
Su Wan pulled Xu Ziyao to a chair at the side and sat her down.
Not long after, Jiang Xuecheng came back from outside. Considering that everyone was not in the mood to eat, Jiang Xuecheng bought four sets of plain congee.
Jiang Xuecheng put down the plastic bag of food and asked Xu Ziyao indifferently.
“Mother, I bought congee. Do you want to eat it?”
Xu Ziyao raised her eyes and waved at Jiang Xuecheng. “I have no appet.i.te. You and Wan can eat first.”
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng turn his head and point at the food on the stool, Su Wan immediately shook her head.
“I can’t eat now either. Xuecheng, you can leave it for now. I believe grandmother will wake up very soon.”
As soon as Su Wan finished speaking, the red light outside the emergency room suddenly turned green!
The three people waiting on the seats were shocked and immediately stood up.
The surgery was over?!
Su Wan did not expect her words to be so effective. She held Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve tightly and waited for the surgeon to come out.
Su Wan’s beautiful face was full of anxiety. Her heart was in a state of turmoil.
Soon, a few doctors and nurses in white coats came out.
The doctor at the front slowly took off his mask. Because he had just gone through a long surgery, it was inevitable that he looked a little tired.
Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng, and the others quickly stepped forward and surrounded him.
“Doctor, how’s my grandmother?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze was fixed on the doctor. Although his expression was as calm as a lake, anyone with a heart could feel his urgency.
The doctor knew that these people in front of him were not ordinary people, so his att.i.tude was somewhat respectful.
“The patient’s anxiety attacked her heart, causing her to suddenly suffer a stroke. Fortunately, you were able to send her in time, and she has been resuscitated.”
Hearing this, everyone present let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Luo Xiuxiu was fine.
Su Wan pursed her lips and asked the doctor, “then, doctor, can we go in to see the patient now? Is there anything that we need to pay attention to during this period of time?”
Hearing Su Wan’s question, the doctor smiled and answered them one by one.
“The patient has also woken up. You can go in to see her now. However, the patient’s body still needs to recuperate. It is recommended that she stay in the hospital for a few days. In the future, you must let the patient maintain a calm mood and not suddenly become overjoyed, sad, or angry. Otherwise, her body will be easily injured.”
Su Wan nodded and smiled back at the doctor. “Thank you, Doctor.”
The doctor replied that they were welcome. Then, he held the things in his hands and quickly walked towards the corridor.
Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng, and Xu Ziyao quickly opened the emergency room’s door. They all wanted to see Luo Xiuxiu’s current state.
As the doctor said, Luo Xiuxiu had already woken up. She was lying on the sickbed, and her body was still connected to an oxygen tube.
Her face, which had always been full of energy, was now a little pale. She looked extremely weak and did not have much energy.
Seeing Luo Xiuxiu, who usually liked to be lively, become like this, Su Wan’s heart ached and her eyes could not help but turn red.
It turned out that when a person was old, their illness would come like a landslide. Even if Luo Xiuxiu loved to exercise, she would still fall sick just like that.
A tree wishes for quiet, but the wind does not stop. The child wishes to be nurtured, but the family does not wait.
Su Wan did not want to lose any family around her anymore. That feeling was too painful.
She wanted everyone to be well, safe and happy.
“Grandmother…”
Su Wan sat beside Luo Xiuxiu and gently placed her hand on Luo Xiuxiu’s hand.
Luo Xiuxiu tried her best to open her eyes wider. She carefully looked at the three people in front of her and a loving smile appeared on her face.
“You’re here. I’m old and useless. I’ve made the three of you worried, haven’t I?”
“Grandmother is spouting nonsense. Grandmother will definitely live to be a hundred years old.”
As Su Wan said this, she tightened her grip on Luo Xiuxiu’s hand.
When she heard Su Wan’s words, Luo Xiuxiu’s gaze became gentler, but there was still a hint of disappointment on her face that could not be ignored.
“Good child, good child…”
Luo Xiuxiu repeated these three words, and then she suddenly noticed the conspicuous white gauze on Su Wan’s shoulder.
“Little Wan, are you hurt?”
Luo Xiuxiu’s expression showed anxiety. In her agitation, she suddenly coughed, and her face flushed red.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Luo Xiuxiu’s appearance, his eyes were shocked, and he immediately reminded her.
“Grandmother, don’t be agitated. Just now, the doctor ordered you to control your emotions.”
Su Wan was shocked by how agitated Luo Xiuxiu was. They quickly explained to her from behind.
“Grandmother, I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury. The doctor said I’ll be fine soon.”
Luo Xiuxiu’s eyes darkened when she heard that. She stared at the white gauze on Su Wan’s shoulder and sighed wearily.
“An’ning hurt you, didn’t she? Is Haoxuan okay?”
“Haoxuan was also slightly injured, but don’t worry, grandmother. He just needs to rest like me.”
Luo Xiuxiu nodded, looking extremely haggard. When she spoke again, she suddenly sounded very sad.
“I always thought that the Jiang family was extremely kind to An’ning. I really didn’t expect that…”
At this moment, Luo Xiuxiu finally understood what it meant to have raised an ingrate.
After the birthday banquet, the Jiang family did not pursue the matter. Instead, they sent Sheng An’ning back to B City and did not say a word about what Sheng An’ning had done. However, Sheng An’ning had repaid them in this way!
Hearing Luo Xiuxiu’s words, Su Wan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings and she did not know what to say.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuecheng calmly sat down and reached out to touch Luo Xiuxiu’s other hand.
“Grandmother, these things are all in the past. Sheng An’ning has also paid the price for what she did. Grandmother, don’t be sad anymore.”
