Gu Shao and Gu Xi rushed to the hospital, and Grandpa Gu was lying in the intensive care ward.
"How could this be? Is Grandpa okay?" Looking at Grandpa Gu lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless, Gu Xi lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his anxious inquiry.
The doctor beside him saw that Gu Xi was about to scratch the glass of the ward with anxiety, and looked inside with a worried face, then said: "You can go in and see your grandfather."
Hearing this, Gu Xi was stunned.
"Can I?" Gu Xi turned his head uncertainly to the doctor and asked, "Will my going in affect Grandpa's treatment?"
"It's okay, you can go in," the doctor said gently. After a pause, he muttered as if to himself, "Maybe if you go in, your grandfather will wake up earlier."
Gu Xishi had only heard stories of miracles where people with closed minds and long-term unconsciousness were awoken by their family members, but had never heard of a situation like Grandpa Gu's that required waking up. Nevertheless, since the doctor had said so, Gu Xishi nodded and put on special clothes to enter Grandpa Gu's sickroom.
Carefully walking up to Grandpa Gu's bedside, Gu Xishi sat down. Her movements were so light that it was as if she was afraid of disturbing Grandpa Gu. At this moment, the voice of the doctor came from the intercom in the sickroom, "You can talk to your grandpa, it's okay."
Gu Xishi nodded and looked towards Grandpa Gu on the bed. After a few days of not seeing him, Grandpa Gu was still the same as before. At this moment, Grandpa Gu was lying in bed, as if he was asleep.
Seeing the various medical devices on Grandpa Gu's body, people felt heartache.
Knowing Grandpa Gu, Gu Xic felt that he was normally a practical person and it must be a big blow for him to end up like this.
Gu Xic's worry deepened.
"Grandpa?" Gu Xic called out.
Grandpa Gu showed no response.
Gu Xic paused and then said softly, "Grandpa, please wake up soon."
"My brother and I, along with Sheng Xiuyan, won third place in our competition, but I haven't told you about it yet."
"Grandfather, didn't you say that if we got a prize, you'd give me a big red envelope? Don't break your promise!"
"There's still so much I haven't shared with you..."
Once, in the Lin family, Mr. Lin was just a vague impression to Gu Xi. Neither Xu Jiaofeng nor Zhang Cui had ever given her the kind of care she felt from her elders until she was taken to the Gu family by Gu Shao.
Gu Xi didn't know what grandpas were like in other families, but in her eyes, Grandpa Gu was the best.
"Thank you Grandpa for accepting me, not minding my presence, not resenting me, and preparing so many things for me..."
Halfway through, Gu Xi suddenly froze: she felt like Grandpa had just moved!
"Grandpa, you're awake?!" Gu Xi called out to Grandpa Gu in surprise.
The result left Gu Xi disappointed.
Grandpa on the sickbed remained motionless.
——So, was it just her misconception just now?
Gu Xixin's heart secretly thought that his eyes were full of disappointment. Thinking of this, Gu Xixin's grip tightened on Grandpa Gu's hand. Even though this time the Lin family, Gu Yaobai, and Xie Hongbo have all finished, Gu Xixin still couldn't help but worry about Grandpa Gu. Outside the hospital room, Gu Shao asked the doctor in a low voice, "What is the condition of the old master now?"
