NOVEL NEXT Chapter 190: Falling Ill
Gu Lingling quickly forgot about Ge Dan Ni's matters.
But it's said that before leaving, she specially wore a brand-new military uniform to find Gu Lingling.
Gu Lingling wasn't there.
Grandma Yao fell ill.
After returning from the Gu Family, she caught a minor cold, which she didn't pay much attention to, but unexpectedly, the cold worsened.
"Grandma, have some porridge."
Since Grandma Yao fell ill, Gu Lingling has been taking care of her.
"My Lingling has really grown up." Grandma Yao, with tears in her eyes, looked at her granddaughter and said, "If your mother saw you like this, she would definitely be very happy."
"Grandma, the most important thing for you now is to get well." Gu Lingling always felt that Grandma Yao's illness came as a surprise.
Every time she saw her, she appeared preoccupied.
"When times get better, I will take you to see the world," Gu Lingling comforted.
"My Lingling is so good," Grandma Yao didn't take her words seriously, but smiled and praised.
"Grandma," Gu Lingling held Grandma Yao's hand, "I heard that it won't be long before this campaign ends, and by then I'll be able to take you out to play. When Lingling has a promising future and earns money, I'll take you and Grandpa abroad for a trip."
The year she passed away, the domestic situation had undergone tremendous changes.
Things like going abroad were truly possible.
Not like it is now, so difficult.
"Girl, you mustn't say such things carelessly." Grandma Yao, who had experienced those things, hurriedly covered Gu Lingling's mouth, "Dear girl, you mustn't talk these words openly outside."
If someone with ulterior motives heard this, it would be another disaster.
"I know." Gu Lingling teased with a smile, "So, hurry up and get well. Without you and Grandpa by our side to guide us, how can it work?"
Gu Lingling's words didn't make Grandma Yao's illness lighten; instead, as the weather grew colder, her condition worsened.
For this, her siblings were deeply worried.
"I heard there's a famous old doctor in the army," Gu Chunhai said to Yao Zhenjiang, "I'll go to the military hospital tomorrow to wait and see if I can invite him to look after Mom."
It's just that the old doctor has a stubborn temperament and no longer sees patients now.
Early the next morning, before daylight, Gu Chunhai went out, waiting at the hospital early to see if he could meet this old doctor named Liu Xinyun.
It was dark when he came back, and by the look on his face, he hadn't seen him.
It makes sense, if it were so easy to meet him, everyone would be waiting there.
"Why don't I ask Aunt Shuxia's family? They might know him," Gu Lingling said through clenched teeth, looking at Grandma Yao's condition.
Being in the same military, even if they don't personally know him, they could find someone who does, right?
"I'll take you tomorrow," Gu Chunhai said.
For now, this seemed to be the only option.
"You really don't have to do this for me," early in the morning, Gu Lingling went out, Grandma Yao said to Yao Zhenjiang, "Someone who should've died years ago has lived all these years; I've gained what I don't deserve."
"What nonsense are you talking about," Yao Zhenjiang said angrily, "Didn't you say you'd take care of Lingling's children in the future? What? Are you planning to go back on your word, old lady?"
"Yes, I just can't give up on these two children," Grandma Yao wiped away tears, "And you, this old man."
"Then get better quickly," Yao Zhenjiang said with affection.
"But I miss Missy," Grandma Yao said, "If it weren't for me back then, Missy wouldn't have met that person, and the subsequent events wouldn't have happened; it's all my fault."
"It's fate. Besides, Missy loved him down to her bones, it's nothing to do with you," Yao Zhenjiang comforted, "Have a good rest and don't think about anything."
"Old man, do you think that young man might be..."
"Didn't you say the surname was wrong? And besides, I investigated back then; he indeed had died," Yao Zhenjiang said, "Don't think wild thoughts."
