She immediately felt sorry once more . "Doctor, how is my grandfather?"
"He's alright, but he'll need some time to recuperate," the doctor cautioned her once more . "Remember, he'll need to abstain from smoking and drinking during this recovery period . "
Xuxu nodded and promised that she would . "Yes, I'll take note of it . I'll make sure he doesn't smoke or drink . "
He had almost frightened her to death, so she would personally supervise him during his recovery .
The old man was being pushed out of the operating theater, and when he saw Xuxu, he pretended to be fast asleep .
Compared to the pain in his leg, he was even more fearful of his granddaughter's incessant nagging .

He was transferred to the bed when they reached his ward . His eyes remained tightly shut .
Xuxu crossed her arms as she stood by the bedside . She looked at the old man who was still pretending to be asleep and spoke calmly . "Stop pretending . There's no way you'll be able to drink in the future . "
The old man heard her, and his eyelids fluttered open . He glared at Xuxu and scolded her, "You wretched lass . Can't you show me some concern before lecturing me about my mistakes?"
Xuxu smiled and replied, "Grandfather, so you're aware and conscious of your mistake . "
"I . . . You . . . "The old man was left tongue-tied against her accusation, and he started sputtering .
Feeling anxious, he decided to change the topic entirely .
"Third Yan, why are you here?"

He stared at Yan Rusheng in shock .
" . . . " Young Master Yan's face fell . What does the old man mean by asking why I'm here?
Old Wen didn't wait for him to respond and he glanced at the door . He sounded rather resentful . "Why isn't Ah Heng here? Didn't you tell him that I was injured and asked him to visit with some gifts?"
The doctor was right, this old fellow couldn't be any better . . .
Yan Rusheng gnashed his teeth furiously as he thought in his head .
He was still thinking of gifts when he was already injured . Furthermore, it was already late at night, wasn't he afraid that he'd get indigestion after eating?
There was a long pause . . .
Wen Xuxu was dumbfounded as she looked at the energetic-looking old man who was lying in bed . "Rest well now . You almost frightened me to death . "
She knew that he didn't want her to be worried about him . And so he was putting on an act by trying to be his usual jovial self .
But she wasn't a gullible three-year-old kid who would be duped so easily .
She had learned traditional Chinese massages before . So she knew how painful bone fractures can be .
"Shit!" The old man suddenly recalled something, and he yelled . "I forgot to lock the clinic when I left . Hurry back and lock the door . "
Xuxu's mouth twitched as she thought in her heart . I've underestimated this old man's health . He'd drunk so much and fractured his leg due to a fall . Despite everything that had happened tonight, he could still remember that he'd forgotten to lock the door .
"I'll stay and look after you . " She glanced at Qi Lei . "Let Qi Lei head back to the clinic . "
The old man interrupted Qi Lei before he could reply . "It's inconvenient if you stay . Let Qi Lei stay instead . "
Xuxu mulled over his words and felt that he was right . He couldn't move his body, and if he needed to go to the toilet, it would indeed be a little inconvenient for her to take care of his needs .
She deliberated for a moment before saying, "Then let me stay with you for a short while . "
"Are you going to pay for my losses if a burglar breaks into my clinic?" The old man rolled his eyes at Xuxu and pushed her with his uninjured hand . "Hurry back to the clinic and lock the door . I'm going to sleep . "
After he finished talking, he shut his eyes and pressed his lips tightly . It seemed that he was bent on not saying another word tonight .
Xuxu couldn't change his mind, and so she turned around to face Qi Lei . "Qi Lei, I'll leave him in your care . I'll take over in the morning . "
She glanced at the empty bed beside theirs . It should be vacant since the bedsheets were neatly arranged . "Sleep on that empty bed for tonight . "
