“Yea.” Xiao Chun replied. She walked towards Bai Yufang and held her mother’s hand affectionately. Coquettishly, she asked, “Mom, what delicious food did you make for me today?”

“I made all your favourite dishes.”

Bai Yufang nudged the tip of Xiao Chun’s perky little nose affectionately. “Wash your hand, then we shall eat.”

“As you wish.”

They sat at the dining table, face to face. Bai Yufang eyed her daughter and placed a piece of beef cutlet into Xiao Chun’s bowl with her chopstick. “Eat more. You’ve lost weight.”

Xiao Chun pinched her cheeks and retorted, “Mom, my face grew rounder recently. How would I have lost weight?”

She continued after a pause, “However, it’s rare to get to eat your cooking. I will still finish all the food even if I get rounder.”

Bai Yufang smiled in satisfaction. “Don’t just talk about it.”

Xiao Chun did not say another word. She continued picking up the dishes in front of her with her chopsticks and dug in, showing her sincerity through her actions.

Bai Yufang’s eyes were filled with smiles when she saw Xiao Chun eating appetizingly. She too dug in, but seemed to not be having a good appet.i.te as she ate little.

As they ate, they chatted about the happening in life and work. Then she casually mentioned, “Oh yea, I heard that the Grandpa Gu has already woken up. Did you know about that?”

Xiao Chun’s movements paused, then she nodded and replied casually, “I know. I went to see Grandpa with Weilai earlier this morning.”

“Is that so?” Bai Yufang put down her chopsticks and elegantly wiped the corner of her lips. She looked concerned. “How is Grandpa’s body? Has he really awakened? Did he tell you anything?”

“Of course.” Xiao Chun swallowed the piece of beef she was chewing. “Mom, Grandpa just woke up. His consciousness and memory have not fully recovered yet. We have to take it slow. But the Doctor said that he’s in a pretty good condition.”

“It’s good to hear that.”

Bai Yufang sighed. “I too, wanted to visit Grandpa Gu. But as you know, Yu has tight security at the hospital guarding him and allows no visitors. I feel much at ease when I hear from you he is doing well.”

“Mom, don’t worry. You will see Grandpa Gu at Yu’s wedding anyway if you wish to see him. He’s likely recovered by then when the time for the wedding comes.”

“Okay.”

Bai Yufang replied. Her smile seeped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Chun continued to chat with Bai Yufang for a little longer after dinner. She got up and left when she received an invitation to go for shopping spree by her best friend.

The warmth on Bai Yufang’s face disappeared as gloomy expression took over as she watched Xiao Chun’s car left.

Xu Weilai had been staying by the hospital bed with Grandpa Gu the entire night. He had just awakened. He was very weak and had been resting with his eyes closed the entire time, other than a short wake time in the morning.

Worried that Xu Weilai would be exhausted, and it was late into the night, Mrs. Lin asked Xu Weilai to leave. “Miss Xu, please go back and rest. I’ll stay with Mr. Gu Sr. here.”

She couldn’t help sighing as she said that. “Miss Xu, it’s all thanks to you. You were the one who woke Mr. Gu Sr. up. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have woken up so quickly. I wonder what the Young Master is thinking…”

Xu Weilai interrupted her. “Mrs. Lin, I won’t be leaving tonight. Doctor mentioned that Grandpa Gu needs to recuperate well these two days. These two days are a critical period for him. Let’s take turns to watch over him. You’re too exhausted to do it alone.”

Mrs. Lin was the only watching Grandpa Gu currently, as she did not trust other nurses.

Mrs. Lin did not object since it was for Mr. Gu Sr. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

It was late into the night and Xu Weilai was leaning on the sofa, asleep. The door to the ward gently pushed open from the outside out of a sudden.
