Lu Tian’s car sped through the bustling streets of Imperial. He had run a few red lights without any intentions of slowly down until he arrives at Imperial Military Hospital.
He parks his car in front of the hospital entrance and shuts the engine off before stepping out. As he close the driver side door, his head did not forget to look left and right in search for Grandfather Ji or Zhong Yang.
He had co here due to his assistant’s words, but neither of them knows if the two old n had already entered the hospital or were also arriving.
However, not seeing either n, he takes out his phone and press the speed dial number for Xu Long.
The tracking device on Zhong Yang’s phone indicated that they were headed this way, but what if it was all a coincidence? What if they drove to a different hospital or another place?
["Boss, how is everything?"]
"Where is their location now?"
Xu Long’s voice chis in from the other line as Lu Tian answers with a question. At the sa ti, his eyes subconsciously glance in the direction of the drop-off area. He sees a taxicab but doesn’t think much as it was normal for patients to take a cab to the hospital.
["I just confird Uncle Zhong’s phone. They are inside."
From the other line, Xu Long answers the question right away as Lu Tian proceeds towards the entrance.
"Got it."
He ends the call and put his phone inside the pocket of his suit jacket. Just as he was a few feet away from the door entrance, he caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure and calls out.
"Ji Jingxu."
Ji Jingxu had only taken two steps away from the taxicab he had gotten off of. When he suddenly heard his na called by a deep voice, he stops and glance to look at his surroundings. It took a short minute before he finally turns around and sees the tall figure of a man.
"Brother-in-law... I an, Mr. Lu, why are you also here?"
He was surprise to see Lu Tian at the hospital. However, a dreadful feeling rise inside him and his eyes search the areas near the man. Could it be that sothing happened to his sister too?
Seeing Ji Jingxu’s reaction upon seeing him, Lu Tian kept a calm expression, but he knew what the boy is looking for.
"Your sister is fine. I’m here for your grandfather."
Ji Jingxu felt himself relax a little when he heard that is sister is fine. However, his eyes shook as he looks at Lu Tian when he thought about what the man said.
"Y-You know about grandfather?"
He thought that it was only him, Zhong Yang and Housekeeper Hu who knew. Lu Tian said he is here for his (Ji Jingxu) grandfather then does that an he (Lu Tian) knows about the old man’s illness? What about Yue Ling? Does she know too?
Lu Tian doesn’t give an answer right away but stares at Ji Jingxu. He is soone who can easily read a person, so he was quick to understand the situation.
"I received a call from your grandfather. He didn��t say anything, so I ca to check."
Ji Jingxu nods his head in response. He thought he had done so in a calm way, but in the eyes of others, he was nodding his head vigorously.
How could he forget that this man is Lu Tian? If he wanted to find person, all he needed to do was press a number.
Brushing the thought away, Ji Jingxu turns away as he felt he had spent too much ti speaking with Lu Tian. Right now, he needs to go and find the old man to check how he is doing.
"Grandfather is inside. I can take you to him."
As he enters through the sliding glass doors of the hospital, he couldn’t help but think back to the incident that led to him coming to the hospital.
When he was about to leave for school, he went to find his grandfather to tell the old man he was leaving.
He knew the old man wouldn’t be in his study room as it was ti, he (Grandfather Ji) took his dicine, so he (Ji Jingxu) went straight for the kitchen.
After he inford the old man that he was leaving, Grandfather Ji offered to drive him to school. However, before he (Grandfather Ji) could even finish his dicine, everything that happened next was like a flash of lightning.
One minute, he was smiling and laughing, then in the next minute, it was like the wind had blew inside the house and swept him away.
He (Ji Jingxu) watched as his body froze in place. He saw the old man’s eyes slowly close as the cup in his hand falls and his (Grandfather Ji) body seems to lose its strength.
It was like in that very mont, the entire world turned dark and his (Ji Jingxu) heart was stuck in his throat.
He didn’t know how, but as he blink of the eyes again, he was already standing next to Grandfather Ji and caught the old man before his head hit the floor.
In a panic state of mind, Housekeeper Hu suggested they call an ambulance, but Zhong Yang was against it. The assistant said it would take the ambulance at least an hour to get to the Ji Mansion then the sa amount of ti to the hospital.
Instead of waiting, he decided it would be faster to drive to the hospital. They couldn’t afford to prolong the wait as anything could happened to Grandfather Ji.
Ji Jingxu returns from his mories of the tragic incident that occurred almost an hour ago. He ran through the corridors of Imperial Military Hospital as he already knew which room his grandfather had been taken to.
The reason why he arrived in a taxicab was because Zhong Yang and Housekeeper Hu told him to not worry and go to school. He knows that they only said it because of his grandfather, but how can he not worry when one of the most important people in his life is in the hospital?
As Ji Jingxu’s figure disappears through the doors, Lu Tian remained unmoving from his current position. He ponders in thoughts for a quick second before striding after the boy.
He wasn’t bother by the fact that Ji Jingxu left without further explaining the situation. He didn’t need to know because he could already see everything written on his (Ji Jingxu) face.
He only hopes that Grandfather Ji is alright.
