The house where Shen Yuyan lived, though seemingly just an apartnt, was actually quite sophisticated, both in terms of decor and size.
Styled in a European manner and boasting an area comparable to so stand-alone villas, Shen Yuyan’s current residence was very much like what one might call an apartnt villa.
"Sister Shen, this must be my second visit to your place, right?"
As Shen Yuyan led Zhu Fei and personally opened the door for him, inviting him in, Zhu Fei suddenly remarked, jokingly.
He said this partly to montarily ease the solemn atmosphere between them that had hung in the taxi earlier.
What also mildly surprised him was that he discovered a pair of n’s slippers in Shen Yuyan’s ho today.
When he first visited her to ask for the three Spirit Stones, there hadn’t been any n’s slippers around.
"Hehe, so after you left last ti, I specially prepared these slippers just for you. How about that? Are you moved?"
As if knowing why Zhu Fei said this, Shen Yuyan, after changing her own shoes, turned and jokingly replied with a smile.
"Uh, okay then."
Zhu Fei suddenly felt sowhat embarrassed, with a wry smile creeping into his mind.
"What do you an ’okay then’? Is it a yes or a no?"
Shen Yuyan, smiling, brought Zhu Fei the slippers and turned to look at him again, still smiling.
"Hehe."
"What’s all this ’hehe’? Alright, no more joking around, let’s go inside."
Shen Yuyan rolled her eyes in slight annoyance at Zhu Fei and then led him towards the living room.
"Clatter—clatter—"
Just when Zhu Fei and Shen Yuyan were walking into the living room together, the sound of soone descending the stairs echoed from the nearby stairwell.
Both turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man and woman, about fifty years old, wearing aprons and coming down the stairs.
"Miss Shen, you’re back."
The middle-aged couple greeted Shen Yuyan warmly.
Then she shifted her gaze, surprised, to Zhu Fei.
In her recollection, although Shen Yuyan was a beautiful and sought-after CEO, she had never seen any man being brought ho by her—not even one!
Seeing Zhu Fei now in Shen Yuyan’s house, and observing how naturally and kindly Shen Yuyan treated him, the woman couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Perhaps sensing the couple’s confusion, Shen Yuyan couldn’t help but stand up and introduce with a smile:
"Mrs. Wang, let introduce him. This is my good friend Zhu Fei, who is also a doctor. He specially ca today to check on my grandfather."
Turning to Zhu Fei, Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "Zhu Fei, this is Mrs. Wang, who has been looking after my grandfather for many years when I was busy."
Hearing Shen Yuyan’s introduction, Zhu Fei suddenly realized.
From Shen Yuyan’s earlier words, this Mrs. Wang seed to play a caregiver role.
Because for many years, Shen Yuyan’s grandfather owed much to her care, Shen Yuyan treated Mrs. Wang with great courtesy and respect.
Realizing this, Zhu Fei also smiled and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Wang:
"Auntie Wang, hello, my na is Zhu Fei, I am Sister Shen’s friend. I ca today to check on her grandfather."
When Zhu Fei greeted her so politely, Auntie Wang did not dare to neglect him and responded promptly and genuinely:
"Ah, young man, hello to you too. I’m just a country person and there are many things I don’t quite understand. I’m afraid I might not do well and cause trouble for our Yu Yan."
"Since you’re here today, if there’s anything specific you need to do regarding taking care of the old master, just feel free to tell , and I’ll make sure to rember it."
It was evident that Auntie Wang, despite Zhu Fei’s young age, didn’t underestimate him.
On the contrary, in her heart, Shen Yuyan was soone very capable, and Auntie Wang wouldn’t neglect anyone valued by Shen Yuyan.
Zhu Fei had a good impression of Auntie Wang and couldn’t help smiling as he said, "Auntie Wang, you’re too kind, and... oh,"
At this point, Zhu Fei turned to Shen Yuyan and asked, "Sister Shen, where is your grandfather? When can we go and see how he’s doing?"
"Uh."
Shen Yuyan was stunned, not expecting Zhu Fei to want to see her grandfather’s condition so soon.
However, she didn’t refuse and rely pointed towards the staircase, saying, "He’s in the first room upstairs, let’s go have a look now."
Zhu Fei nodded, and the three of them headed towards the staircase.
As Zhu Fei and the others entered the room where Shen Yuyan’s grandfather stayed, Zhu Fei imdiately noticed an elderly man with white hair and a frail body lying quietly on the "bed."
Although he was unconscious and unable to take care of himself, it was clear that whether it was Shen Yuyan or Auntie Wang, the care they provided was impeccable.
There wasn’t a speck of dirt on him, and even his hair and nails had been ticulously grood, making him look very neat.
Zhu Fei felt touched and couldn’t help but look at Shen Yuyan and Auntie Wang with admiration.
To take care of such a comatose elderly man every day of the year without a break was truly no small feat.
Thinking this, Zhu Fei, under the slightly tense and hopeful gaze of Shen Yuyan and Auntie Wang, approached the old man’s "bedside" and gently took his wrist to check his pulse.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
After a full five minutes, Zhu Fei was still holding the old man’s hand without letting go.
Instead, his brows furrowed more and more.
This imdiately made Shen Yuyan and Auntie Wang, who were waiting by his side, display expressions of unease.
Especially Shen Yuyan, who knew in her heart that if Zhu Fei could not find a way to manage her grandfather’s condition this ti, the chances of her grandfather waking up would be very questionable.
Finally, after about ten more minutes had passed, Zhu Fei finally gently let go of the old man’s hand.
He looked at Shen Yuyan and Auntie Wang, who were full of anticipation and anxiety, paused for a mont, and then finally spoke:
"Well, Sister Shen, your grandfather’s condition..."
"My grandfather’s condition, how is it? Is there still hope for treatnt?"
Before Zhu Fei could finish, Shen Yuyan impatiently interjected.
Zhu Fei looked at Shen Yuyan sowhat speechlessly and couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Sister Shen, you have to let finish my sentence."
Shen Yuyan’s face turned slightly red, realizing she had been too anxious, and she forced herself to calm down, nodding apologetically at Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei didn’t mind and after another pause, continued, "Your grandfather’s condition, I think, I might have a 60% confidence in awakening him from his coma."
