"Young Master …" After handing Shi Yao the money, Auntie Sun really took out a hundred-yuan bill and walked over to Lin Jiage.
Just that, before she could reach Lin Jiage, Lin Jiage's body shuddered upon hearing her voice, and in the next second, he turned around and walked away.
…
As soon as Shi Yao walked out of the hospital building, she saw Lin Jiage standing right in front of the building, looking at his phone with his head lowered.
Her footsteps subconsciously came to a halt.
The chauffeur, who had received Auntie Sun's call in advance, was already waiting in front of the building. Upon seeing Shi Yao, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door. "Miss Shi, please get in."
Lin Jiage was standing right beside the car.
Perhaps hearing the chauffeur's words, he instinctively turned his head to look at Shi Yao.
Meeting his gaze, Shi Yao's fingertips trembled slightly. As a result, her footsteps toward the car became a little unsteady after hearing the chauffeur's words.
This was his chauffeur and car, and they had already come to an agreement to annul their engagement. She couldn't even be considered as his secret fiancée anymore …
Back in the ward, she didn't mention that she was the one who proposed the marriage, not him, out of consideration for Grandpa Lin's health.
Just as she was about to reach the car, Shi Yao hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Lin Jiage.
She was just about to speak up when she recalled that the chauffeur was still standing by the side. Thus, she turned her gaze to the chauffeur.
The sharp-witted chauffeur instantly understood Shi Yao's intentions, and he tactfully walked away.
After confirming that the chauffeur was far enough away that he couldn't hear her voice, Shi Yao turned to Lin Jiage and said softly, "About that … let's talk about annulling our engagement after Grandpa Lin recovers."
Lin Jiage shot a glance at her and replied with an indifferent "Un".
Shi Yao could hear the displeasure in his tone. Afraid that he might have misunderstood her intentions and thought that she didn't want to annul their engagement, she quickly added, "I don't mean anything by it. I'm just worried that Grandpa Lin's condition might worsen …"
Perhaps it was her imagination, but after she explained herself, Lin Jiage's expression seemed even worse than before.
Shi Yao fell silent.
Seeing that Lin Jiage didn't even reply with an "Un", she pursed her lips and said, "Well, why don't you get the chauffeur to send you to the research institute? I'll take the subway back to school …"
But before Shi Yao could finish her words, Lin Jiage had already begun walking away, as if annoyed by her incessant chatter.
It was only after his silhouette had disappeared from sight that Shi Yao finally retracted her gaze.
She was really naive. When she saw him cutting fruits in the hospital room, she was still in a daze …
How could she have forgotten that Grandpa Lin was still sick?
He probably did it because he didn't want Grandpa Lin to get angry again …
…
Upstairs, in the ward.
After Lin Jiage and Shi Yao left, Grandpa Lin turned to Auntie Sun and asked, "How is my health?"
Auntie Sun: "The doctor said that he's fine for the time being, and that he'll be under observation for a day. If he's fine, he can go home to recuperate."
Auntie Sun had taken care of Grandpa Lin for many years now, and there were many things that she would nag at him out of habit, "Old Master, you really have to change your temper. You can't get so angry. You're hurting your own health!"
"It's not like I want to, but it's all because of that brat!" Grandpa Lin sighed deeply before continuing, "Well, there's no hurry to go home to recuperate. I'll have to stay in the hospital for a while longer. You've already told the doctor to tell the Young Master that my condition is very serious, very serious, and that I'll die at any moment!"
