Grandpa An chuckled, “It’s quite good. Director Tao’s medical skills are excellent. He has performed acupuncture on me twice, and I feel somewhat lighter now.”
Tian Yi, hearing their conversation, couldn’t help but say, “Miss Nan Yan, how about letting Grandpa stay in the hospital for a while longer? With Director Tao’s treatment these past few days, his condition has improved. It might not be wise to discharge him so soon.”
Before, they had never tried traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Dr. Lu, their usual physician, specialized in Western medicine. He had been treating Grandpa An using Western medical methods, which had shown positive results, but couldn’t completely eradicate the root of the problem.
Due to Grandpa An’s frail constitution, his condition frequently relapsed.
These past few days, Director Tao frequently visited Grandpa’s room, even discussing various traditional Chinese medicine and health-related topics. Tian Yi felt it was quite beneficial!
If they allowed Director Tao to continue treating Grandpa for a bit longer, perhaps his health could improve more fundamentally!
Even Grandpa An had considered staying in the hospital a bit longer. Today, Nan Yan had come to discuss it with him.
However, Nan Yan shook her head, “No need. Going back home would be more effective than staying here.”
Tian Yi’s expression stiffened. He hadn’t anticipated that despite discussing how much Director Tao’s treatments had improved Grandpa’s condition, Nan Yan would still insist on discharging him.
He had always believed that Nan Yan genuinely cared for Grandpa and treated him kindly.
Now, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
His tone grew a bit more serious, “Miss Nan Yan, do you not understand how weak Grandpa’s body is? His condition really can’t afford any setbacks!”
Seeing this scene, Qin Lu speculated.
Did the An family, including Grandpa, not know about the young lady’s medical skills?
With a little genius doctor in the family, there was no need to keep Grandpa in the hospital.
“Uncle Tian, I’m well aware of Grandpa’s condition,” Nan Yan saw through his thoughts. She didn’t display any displeasure, speaking gently, “That’s why I intend to personally help him recuperate.”
“You?” Tian Uncle didn’t quite grasp Nan Yan’s meaning.
Grandpa An, however, didn’t mind anything else. Upon hearing Nan Yan’s words, he was deeply moved and told Tian Yi, “Tian, listen to Yan Yan. Pack up, we’re leaving the hospital.’
“But, Grandpa…” Tian Yi wanted to argue a bit more.
Grandpa An favored Nan Yan, and he was willing to listen to whatever she said.
But she was just a child. How could she understand the dangerous state of Grandpa’s health?
At that moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Tao Qingming arrived.
Tian Yi saw him as if he’d encountered a savior and hurried over.
“Director Tao, could you please persuade Grandpa to stay in the hospital a bit longer? With your acupuncture treatment these past few days, he’s improved significantly. Discharging him now would be undoing all the progress!” Tao Qingming’s expression froze upon hearing Tian Yi’s words, then he looked at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan nodded to him, “Director Tao.”
Tao Qingming immediately understood the situation.
He chuckled, “Did Miss Nan not tell you that she’s skilled in medicine?”
“Grandpa An, I envy you. Having a little genius doctor in the family, already proficient in medicine at such a young age. With time, her achievements might even surpass her mentor, Divine Dr. Hua!”
“If it weren’t for Miss Nan’s timely arrival this time, I’m afraid your situation, Grandpa An, wouldn’t have been looking good. Miss Nan practically rescued you from the gates of death!”
“Yan Yan… about what Director Tao said…”
Grandpa An was taken aback, not quite believing it. But coming from Tao Qingming’s mouth, it couldn’t be false.
Nan Yan comfortingly patted his hand, “Grandpa, your health isn’t that dire yet. You can still recover. I’ll stay at the old mansion for a while and thoroughly help you regain your health.”
“Yan Yan, having a granddaughter like you, Grandpa is truly blessed for ten lifetimes.’
Grandpa An was speechless, unsure what to say. He was amazed by the abilities of his granddaughter, who had suffered so much mistreatment and torment at the hands of her adoptive parents in the countryside.
And she even saved his life!
Grandpa An’s heart was filled with a profound sense of gratitude.
Tian Yi was also dumbfounded by the revelation.
He finally understood why when Grandpa was in the emergency room, the doctors had declared his condition critical, and after Miss Nan arrived, bursting into the room, they hadn’t updated them on his condition again.
So, it was Miss Nan who saved Grandpa!
Once Tian Yi realized this, he felt ashamed for doubting her emotional attachment to Grandpa. He walked up to Nan Yan, deeply bowing.
“Miss Nan Yan, I apologize!”
“I misunderstood you. I thought you didn’t care about Grandpa. I’m truly sorry.”
Nan Yan helped him up, her gaze gentle, “Uncle Tian, it’s my fault for not informing you earlier.”
Tao Qingming joked, “Grandpa An, I’ll probably be bothering you more in the future. I hope you won’t find me too annoying.”
Grandpa An hurriedly replied, “Not at all. We can’t ask for more than having
Director Tao visit our An family!”
“Yan Yan, did you not inform them about your medical skills?”
By “them”, he naturally meant those from the An family.
“I didn’t.” Nan Yan’s tone grew lighter, “My relationship with them isn’t that deep, and there’s no need for me to share everything about my life with them.” “Very well, if you think so. As long as Grandpa knows, that’s what matters.
Whenever you’re ready to share, you can.”
Grandpa An understood that Nan Yan was disappointed in the An family.
This obstinate girl, in his position, would also feel unfavorable toward this family. He wouldn’t force her to forgive them for their despicable actions.
When the time came for Nan Yan to let go of her grievances and be willing to accept them again, that would be the time to address it.
Nan Yan didn’t want to bring up those people. She helped Grandpa An sit up and said, “Grandpa, get ready. Let’s leave the hospital.’
“Yes, yes. Alright, let’s get discharged.”
With Qin Lu’s assistance, he and Tian Yi quickly got everything ready.
Seeing Qin Lu, who had no airs, Grandpa An’s gaze toward him also grew a bit more satisfied.
Since Grandpa An couldn’t walk on his own, Tian Yi had planned to carry him, but Tao Qingming arranged for a wheelchair to be brought in.
Nan Yan personally pushed the wheelchair, and Tian Yi opened the door. The An family members who had been waiting by the door finally saw Grandpa
“Father, you’re leaving the hospital?”
“Grandpa…”
“How’s your health?”
“Maybe it’s better if you stay a few more days in the hospital.”
Several people crowded around Grandpa An, talking over one another, giving Grandpa a headache.
“Enough, everyone be quiet.” Despite his weakness, Grandpa An’s presence was still imposing.
With that one sentence, the An family members temporarily fell silent.
“I’m glad you’ve been waiting outside my ward, but I’m comforted enough by
Yan Yan’s presence. You don’t need to stay on my account. Do whatever you need to do.”
“During this period, don’t visit the old mansion and disturb me.”
Lu Lehua said, “Father, what are you saying? You’re seriously ill, how can we, your sons and grandsons, not care for you by your bedside?”
Grandpa An’s voice grew faint, “It’s unnecessary. Yan Yan doesn’t want to see you all, and I don’t want to upset her..”
