She tried to catch up with Qiao Chong’er and plead on behalf of her family, but Qiao Chong’er had already walked far away.
Xiao Yingying, not giving up, hesitated for a mont before quickening her pace to follow her.
As she reached the hospital room door, she saw Old Master Qiao’s chief physician, along with another expert, talking to Qiao Chong’er and Qiaoxu.
By the ti she arrived, the doctors had finished speaking, and she hadn’t heard the entire conversation.
However, she noticed the delighted and relaxed smiles on Qiao Chong’er and Qiaoxu’s faces, and guessed that the old man’s condition must have improved.
"Thank you, doctor!"
After seeing the doctors off, the smiles on Qiaoxu’s faces did not fade.
With an uneasy heart, Xiao Yingying entered the room, glancing fearfully at Qiao Chong’er before turning to Qiaoxu and asking softly:
"Cousin, is Grandpa about to wake up?"
Qiaoxu, in a good mood at this mont, didn’t show any anger toward Xiao Yingying, but simply inford her:
"Hmm, Dr. Chen and Dr. Green said that the hematoma in Grandpa’s skull has been completely cleared, and if all goes well, he should wake up tomorrow morning."
As Qiaoxu finished speaking, she saw Xiao Yingying’s face turn deathly pale, and even her lips lost their color.
The next second, as if afraid of being discovered, she quickly adjusted her emotions and glanced at Qiao Chong’er and Qiaoxu’s faces.
Seeing that the two of them didn’t seem to have noticed anything, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her gaze fell slowly on the still unconscious old man in the hospital bed, and Xiao Yingying’s eyes gradually beca more subtle.
"Second Aunt, since the doctor said that Grandpa should wake up tomorrow, you should go ho and get a good night’s sleep tonight. Even though the hospital room is well-equipped, it can’t compare to ho."
Qiaoxu encouraged, "When you go back, let Chen Ma cook you a delicious al, so you can regain your energy. When Grandpa wakes up tomorrow, he won’t be so distressed about you."
Qiao Chong’er thought for a mont and agreed, "All right."
"There’s an on-duty nurse at the hospital, so you don’t need to worry about anything."
Subrged in the joy of her father waking up, Qiao Chong’er didn’t show the sa coldness towards Xiao Yingying as before, but still didn’t give her much of a friendly expression either.
Qiaoxu stayed in the hospital until 4 pm, and then left because she had to pick up Qiao Yi from kindergarten.
Qiao Chong’er stayed in the hospital room until dinner ti before leaving to prepare to return to the Qiao Family.
Walking out of the hospital building, Xiao Yingying, who had been following her, carefully murmured, "Mom."
Qiao Chong’er looked at her with indifferent and distant eyes.
"You don’t have to follow anymore. It’s benevolent and righteous of not to report you."
Her gaze at Xiao Yingying was like looking at a stranger—
"You’re already a thirty-year-old adult; you should take responsibility for your actions. Take care of yourself."
Qiao Chong’er’s words extinguished the last glimr of hope in Xiao Yingying’s heart.
"If I find out that you’ve done anything unforgivable behind my back, be prepared to go to prison with your accomplices."
Having said that, Qiao Chong’er turned and walked away without looking back.
Xiao Yingying was stunned on the spot by Qiao Chong’er’s words.
Because Qiao Chong’er left resolutely, she didn’t see the viciousness flashing across Xiao Yingying’s defeated face in an instant.
At night, the on-duty nurse slept sowhat groggily.
At this mont, the door to Old Master Qiao’s hospital room was gently pushed open.
