"Grandma, I'm here to see you."
Ethan knocked on the door. An old woman with a hunched back and thick glasses was hugged by Ethan. She was walking with a cane.
Ethan was a big fatty. He was at least three times heavier than the old woman.
"Damn it, did you drink before coming here? Let go … You're making me stink. "
The old woman saw Chen Zhao standing behind Ethan. "Ethan, you didn't tell me that you'd bring a handsome young man. Look, I'm not even dressed up."
"Ethan, you didn't tell me that we're going to meet such a beautiful lady today either."
"Young man, I like you. What's your name?"
"Just call me Chen. Do I have the honor of knowing your name?"
"You can call me Wright, or you can call me grandma like Ethan."
"It's hard to believe that you're Ethan's grandma. I'll call you Wright."
Chen Zhao and the old woman hugged each other. Ethan gave her flowers.
"This is for you." Chen Zhao gave the tablet to the old woman.
"Thank you. I need a tablet. Young man, you're so understanding. If I'm 60 years younger, no, 50 years younger, I'll chase after you like crazy."
"It's not too late now."
"I paid for it," Ethan added. "Grandma, I'm the one you should be complimenting."
A 50-year-old man had the nerve to fight for Chen Zhao's favor.
"Come in, all of you."
Her home was decorated in dark colors. The furniture looked old, but it was very clean. The lighting was also good. At least, it wouldn't make people feel depressed.
The old woman had already cut the fruits. "Young man, you're from China?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
"I was once a professor at Nanjing University. During that time, I learned Chinese. Chen is one of the most common surnames in China, but it's the most complicated among all the languages I've learned. I also have a Chinese name, Li Chuntian."
"That's a nice name, whether it's your real name or your Chinese name."
"Ethan, you should learn from Chen. You don't know how to say nice things."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Chen, what do you do? Could he be Ethan's lackey? This bastard is a scoundrel who doesn't shrink from any crime. "
It was obvious that Wright knew some of Ethan's deeds. Her impression of Ethan was still there.
"I'm a doctor."
"Have a seat first, I'll prepare lunch for you."
"Grandma, remember to make barbecue. Don't give me too many vegetables."
Even though he was a middle-aged man in his fifties, he still behaved like a child in front of his grandmother.
After Wright entered the kitchen, Ethan approached Chen Zhao. "How's my grandma? Is she okay?"
"Not very good."
"But, it looks like she is very energetic."
"She's just pretending in front of us."
"Then what should we do? What's wrong with her? "
"Some elderly diseases are common, so it's unavoidable. However, I just saw some patches on the skin under her collar."
"Is there a problem?"
"Remind me when your grandmother comes out of the kitchen."
Chen Zhao walked to the cabinet and rummaged through it. He saw the medicine stored inside.
"How is it?"
"She might have cancer. I found some special medicine that can suppress cancer cells, but I'm not sure if it's malignant or benign. It might be in her lungs or stomach."
Cancer?! Ethan's expression turned serious.
Even though he didn't know anything about medicine, he knew what cancer meant.
Wright was clearly full of energy because of Ethan and Chen Zhao's arrival.
The sumptuous lunch on the table could be compared to a luxurious banquet.
When one reached a certain age, even the most capable and independent woman would feel lonely.
Wright just didn't show her loneliness. She couldn't say it either.
However, she was clearly very happy that the two had come.
When Ethan went to the bathroom, Wright said with a smile, "Chen, did Ethan ask you to come and treat me?"
"Wright, you look so radiant. I think Ethan worked for nothing this time. But if you want to come out for coffee, you can call me. This is my number. I'll accompany you anytime."
"How did you meet Chen?"
"I was a homeless stray until Ethan took me in and gave me a job."
"Help me take care of him. He's not young anymore, but he still doesn't know how to take care of himself."
"I refused. He even charged me a dollar for a burger."
"Bastard!" Ethan had already walked out. "He charged you a dollar every time and gave me a can of Coke. You know that a can of Coke is already a dollar."
"Since you don't earn money anymore, all the more you shouldn't take my money."
"Don't even think about it."
"Wright, did you see that? Do you think I'll help you take care of a bastard like him?"
After lunch, the three sat on the balcony and chatted.
Ethan was bullied by Chen Zhao and Wright. Under Chen Zhao's encouragement, Wright told him many embarrassing things about Ethan.
Ethan was furious, but it was obvious that Wright was very happy.
Ethan had disappointed her before, but he was still her grandson.
The two didn't stand up until three in the afternoon.
Chen Zhao hugged Wright. "Wright, don't forget my number. I really want to have a candlelight dinner with you."
"Of course, handsome guy."
After going downstairs, Ethan's expression became serious. "Do you have a solution?"
"Don't rush. I can't just ask for a checkup just now, right? Your grandmother clearly doesn't want you to worry."
"Then what should we do?"
"Take it slow. I'll find a time to meet with your grandmother again."
"Alright, I hope God blesses me."
Chen Zhao could only say that he would try his best. After all, it was cancer.
"Does she still have a job?"
"She's a professor at UCLA. She's still taking classes."
"What department is she in?"
"Medical department."
"F * ck. You're letting an illegal doctor treat a medical professor? Are you sure I'm more capable than her?"
"But you're the only doctor I know."
"I suddenly realize that I'm under a lot of pressure. Can I refuse this request?"
"Then you'll never get a free burger."
"You've never given me a free burger."
"But at least the drinks are free."
"Fine. Since it's free, I'll try my best … But Ethan should know better than anyone else that there's not much I can do for her body."
