Chapter 2383: An Accident
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In fact, it was already a well-known secret that Mo Xiaonian liked Jing Zhannan. However, ever since Jing Zhannan failed to confess to Huo Yijing, he had never talked about his feelings. Therefore, Mo Xiaonian only stayed by his side silently. Their relationship was not really established.
Nuo Nuo called her “grandaunt.” Mo Xiaonian blushed and said to Helian Qingyu, “Actually, I’m not in that kind of relationship with your uncle. But now that the child is calling me, I can’t pretend to be a coward. I didn’t prepare a red packet so I’ll give this robot bear to the child!”
Mo Xiaonian gave the little bear robot she carried with her to Nuo Nuo. Nuo Nuo liked the little bear, but she was too embarrassed to take it. In the end, Mo Xiaonian stuffed it directly into her pocket. He turned to look at his mother.
Li Ruochu smiled. “It’s a gift from your grandaunt. Just accept it! Don’t forget to thank me!”
“Thank you, Grandaunt,” Nuo Nuo said happily.
Mo Xiaonian smiled. She had never thought that her seniority would suddenly become so high. There were even people who called her Grandaunt.
Helian Qingyu and Nuo Nuo were talking to Jing Zhannan in the ward. Li Ruochu went outside to wait. In the corridor, she accidentally bumped into a man.
“Uncle Hong?”
Li Ruochu immediately recognized that the other party was the famous lawyer, Hong Jin. He used to be her father’s most trusted professional lawyer. She had not seen him for a few years and he had not changed at all.
He wore black-framed glasses and had a square face. He was carrying a black briefcase and looked like a strict and experienced political elite.
“Are you… Miss Li?”
“Yes, I’m Li Ruochu.”
“Miss Li, did you receive news of Mr. Li’s illness and rushed back to see him? You came just in time. Mr. Li even asked about your whereabouts just now.”
Hong Jin was relieved to see her.
Li Ruochu did not feel relieved at all. When she suddenly heard that Mr. Li was seriously ill, her heart tightened. “My father… What happened to him?”
“Mr. Li has been sick for a while. He asked me to help him write his will. He’s holding his breath now because he’s waiting for you to come back. Please follow me!”
Hong Jin took her to the ward.
It was only then that Li Ruochu learned that her father had been hospitalized and was also in this hospital. If she had not come here today, she might not have known about what had happened in the Li family, much less the news of her father’s illness.
She followed Hong Jin to a ward and saw a skinny old man lying on the bed. Li Ruochu could not believe that it was her father.
It had only been a few years since they last met. The once high-spirited middle-aged man now had sunken eyes, high cheekbones, and an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. He was already sick and dying.
Seeing her father so sick, Li Ruochu could no longer hold back her tears.
It was just so sad!
She had not been able to stay by her father’s side for the past few years to take care of him. He was so sick that he did not even know that she was an unfilial daughter.
Seeing that she was crying, Hong Jin patted her shoulder and walked in first. He called out to Li Qingsong softly by the bed, “Mr. Li, Mr. Li… Look. Look at who’s here?”
Li Qingsong was woken up by the call. He opened his eyes and looked at Hong Jin. He followed Hong Jin’s gaze and looked at the door. When he saw the woman who had appeared at the door, he opened his mouth in surprise. He wanted to get up but his body was too weak.
“Chuchu…”
Li Qingsong called out weakly.
