After Nanny Zhang walked Qin Zhi 'ai out of the ward, she stood in the corridor and stared at her until she disappeared before returning to the ward.
…
Old Master Gu woke up at half past eight. After a checkup, the doctor recommended that he stay in the hospital for another two days.
After the doctor left, Nanny Zhang served Old Master Gu his meal and handed him a glass of water to rinse his mouth. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't help but say, "Old Master, I was frightened when I saw your fever last night, so I called Young Master …"
"Young Master went on a business trip, and it was Miss Qin who answered the call. She came to the hospital last night and took care of you all night before leaving in the morning. Breakfast was also prepared and delivered to you by Young Master's butler …"
As Nanny Zhang spoke, she observed Old Master Gu's expression. Seeing that he didn't show any signs of displeasure, she continued, "Miss Qin said that she would only come over after you fell asleep … I think she left before you woke up and came after you fell asleep because she saw that you didn't like her and was afraid that she would upset you and affect your condition …"
Old Master Gu frowned but didn't say anything.
Nanny Zhang didn't dare to continue. After Old Master Gu rinsed his mouth, she took the glass of water and went to the bathroom.
After Nanny Zhang came out, she glanced at Old Master Gu, who was leaning against the headboard and staring out the window with a thoughtful look on his face.
…
Old Master Gu stayed in the hospital for three consecutive days, and Qin Zhi 'ai came to visit him three nights in a row.
On the morning of the third night, Old Master Gu woke up before dawn.
Qin Zhi 'ai, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking down at her phone, sensed movement and immediately raised her head. When she met Old Master Gu's gaze, she became nervous. "Grandpa, you're awake?"
Qin Zhi 'ai thought that Old Master Gu would question her why she was there or ignore her as usual. Unexpectedly, after staring at her for a while, Old Master Gu actually grunted and struggled to sit up.
Qin Zhi 'ai reached out and helped Old Master Gu up.
Qin Zhi 'ai knew that Old Master Gu didn't like talking to her, so she sat quietly beside him.
In order to ease the tension in her heart, Qin Zhi 'ai washed two apples, peeled them, cut them into small pieces, and placed them in a glass bowl. Then, she took a toothpick, stuck it into an apple, and handed it to Old Master Gu. "Grandpa, have some fruit."
Old Master Gu glanced at Qin Zhi 'ai and then at the apple in the bowl. Instead of taking it, he gestured to the bedside table and said, "Put it there."
Qin Zhi 'ai did as told.
The ward fell into silence again, but this time, not long after, Nanny Zhang came over with breakfast.
Nanny Zhang asked Qin Zhi 'ai to stay for breakfast, but Qin Zhi' ai made up an excuse and left.
After sending Qin Zhi 'ai home, Nanny Zhang helped Old Master Gu prepare breakfast.
Breakfast had been brought from home and was exceptionally sumptuous, but Old Master Gu seemed to have no appetite. He pointed to a bowl of apple slices on the table and motioned for Nanny Zhang to pass it to him.
Why is he eating fruit so early in the morning?
Nanny Zhang tried to persuade Old Master Gu to eat the porridge, but he pulled a long face, so Nanny Zhang handed him the apple. Old Master Gu picked up a fork and ate it piece by piece.
