Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Granny, we’re here.”
Ethan opened the door and imdiately hugged the old hunched woman with a cane and thick glasses. Ethan was fat and at least three tis the size of the woman.
“D*mmit, did you drink before coming here? Let go... The sll is getting to .” The old woman looked to Chen Zhao, standing behind Ethan. “You didn’t tell that you’ll bring a handso boy here. I didn’t even dress up.”
“Ethan, you didn’t tell we’re eting such a beautiful woman either.”
“Lad, I like you. What’s your na?”
“Just call Chen. Do I have the honor of knowing your na?”
“You can call Wright, or you can call Granny like Ethan does too.”
“It’s hard to believe that you’re Ethan’s grandmother. How about I just call you Wright?”
Chen Zhao hugged the old woman, their faces pressing against each other. Ethan offered up the flowers.
“This is for you.” Chen Zhao gave the tablet to the old woman.
“Thank you. It’s just what I need. Lad, you really understand people. If I’m 60 years younger—no, 50 years younger, I’ll definitely flirt with you crazily.”
“It’s not too late yet.”
“I paid for that,” Ethan added. “Granny, you should complint .”
A 50-year-old man was shaless enough to fight with Chen Zhao for complints.
“Co in, co in.”
The ho’s interior design had a darker tone. All the furniture looked quite old, but they were all clean. The lighting was quite good too and wouldn’t make them feel stuffy.
The old woman had already prepared so fruit. “Lad, are you Chinese?”
“Yes. How did you know?”
“I was once a professor at Nanjing University. During that ti, I learned Chinese. ‘Chen’ is one of the most common surnas in China, but Chinese is the most complex language I’ve ever learned. I have a Chinese na too. Li Chuntian, or Spring Li.”
“It’s a beautiful na, both your birth na and your Chinese na.”
“Ethan, learn from Chen. You don’t know how to say nice things.”
“I only speak the truth.”
“Chen, what’s your job? You aren’t Ethan’s lackey, right? This bastard is the worst of the worst.”
Clearly, Wright knew so things about Ethan too and her impression of Ethan was stuck on that.
“I’m a doctor.”
“You two sit. I’ll go prepare lunch for you two.”
“Granny, rember to make at. Don’t give too many greens.” Even a 50-year-old middle-aged man would act like a kid before his grandmother.
When Wright went into the kitchen, Ethan went to Chen Zhao’s side. “So is my granny alright?”
“Not really.”
“But she looks spirited.”
“She’s just pretending for us.”
“Then what can we do? What’s wrong with her?”
“It’s just so conditions common for seniors. They’re unavoidable. However, I saw her skin below her collar. There seems to be so spots.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Remind when she cos out of the kitchen.”
Chen Zhao walked to the shelf on the side and looked around. He saw the dicine there.
“How is it?”
“She might have cancer. I found so dicine used for suppressing cancer cells, but I can’t be sure if it’s malignant or benign. It might be in the lungs or stomach.”
Cancer?! Ethan’s expression turned serious. Even if he didn’t have any dical knowledge, he still knew what cancer ant.
Wright was clearly excited because Ethan and Chen Zhao were here. The sumptuous lunch was practically a feast.
At a certain age, even hardened and independent won would start feeling lonely. Wright just didn’t express it. She couldn’t say it out loud, but she was clearly happy that the two were here.
When Ethan went to the bathroom, Wright smiled and said, “Chen, did Ethan bring you here to help diagnose ?”
“Wright, seeing how vibrant you are, I think Ethan did all this for nothing. But if you want coffee, you can call . This is my number. I’ll be at your beck and call.”
“How did you et Ethan?”
“I was a holess stray until Ethan took in and gave a job.”
“Watch him for . He’s not old now, but he still doesn’t know how to take care of himself.”
“I refuse. He even charges a dollar for a hamburger.”
“F*cker!” Ethan had co back out. “I charge you a dollar, but I have to give you can of soda. You know that a can costs more than a dollar.”
“Since you’re already not making money, you shouldn’t take my money even more.”
“In your dreams.”
“Wright, do you see? You think I’ll take care of a bastard like this?”
After lunch, the three chatted on the porch.
Chen Zhao and Wright tead up to bully Ethan. Under Chen Zhao’s urging, Wright revealed many embarrassing things about Ethan, which pissed him off. It was obvious that Wright was happy though.
Ethan had disappointed her before, but he was still her grandson.
The two didn’t get up and bid farewell until three p.m.
Chen Zhao hugged Wright. “Wright, don’t forget my number. I’d love to have a candlelit dinner with you.”
“Of course, handso boy.”
After going downstairs, Ethan grew serious. “Have a plan?”
“Patience. I can’t just require her to get a checkup, right? She clearly doesn’t want you to worry.”
“Then what should we do?”
“Get closer to her. I’ll find so ti to et her again.”
“Okay, God bless.”
Chen Zhao could only say that he would try his best. It was cancer, after all.
“Is she still working?”
“She’s a professor at UCLA and still insists on lecturing.”
“What departnt?”
“dical school.”
“F*ck. You want an unlicensed doctor to treat a dical school professor? Are you sure I’m more skilled than her?”
“But you’re the only doctor I know.”
“I suddenly feel so much pressure. Can I reject this request?”
“Then you’ll never get free hamburgers.”
“You never gave free ones before.”
“You at least got free drinks.”
“Fine, I’ll try my best because of the free drinks... But Ethan, she should be clearer about her own body than anyone else. I’m afraid I can’t do much.”
“I know. Just try your best.”
