Chapter 370: Chapter 370

The voice of Second Uncle Jiang on the other end of the phone was very loud; Wan Chu’er heard everything clearly.

Grandpa Jiang fell into a coma?

She was stunned for a moment and then remembered that, in her previous life, Grandpa Jiang had indeed fallen seriously ill. He had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and stayed in the hospital for almost half a year. Not only had each of the Jiang Family’s Three Brothers contributed a significant amount of money, but Second Aunt Jiang and Second Uncle Jiang had several fights over taking care of the old man, causing a tumult within the Jiang Family.

She couldn’t remember the exact time of the onset of his illness, but it seemed to be this season. Wan Chu’er sighed; could it really be today?

That would be such a coincidence!

Jiang Kechu asked a few questions with a furrowed brow. Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but reach out and grasp Jiang Kechu’s hand.

They were only one step away—registering, taking photos, proceeding through the formalities could be done very quickly, in ten minutes at most, or even in five minutes if they used their privileges.

Jiang Kechu hung up the phone. Seeing Wan Chu’er looking at him with hopeful eyes, he suddenly felt hesitant.

It was evident to Wan Chu’er that Jiang Kechu was stern, with a hint of struggle in his eyes, and finally, Jiang Kechu said, "My grandpa suddenly fell into a coma and was taken to the hospital. Let’s go there first."

Second Uncle Jiang had described the situation as critical over the phone, saying that the old man might never wake up again. Regardless of whether Second Uncle Jiang was exaggerating, Grandpa Jiang’s condition must be serious. Under no circumstances did he want to drag Chuchu into this.

However, Wan Chu’er was unaware of Jiang Kechu’s thoughts, but she knew that Grandpa Jiang would not be in any serious trouble; he would live at least another decade. When she had left the Jiang Family in her previous life, Grandpa Jiang was still alive and well.

She said reluctantly, "Can’t we get the certificate first? It will only take at most five minutes, and we won’t be delayed."

Jiang Kechu coaxed her, "Be good, let’s go to the hospital first. If my grandpa is fine, we can come back."

Seeing that Jiang Kechu was resolute, Wan Chu’er huffed in frustration and turned her head away from him.

Jiang Kechu said "I’m sorry," then started the car without hesitation. Outside the car window, the scenery swiftly changed as they drove toward the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Jiang Kechu wanted Wan Chu’er to wait downstairs while he went up alone, but Wan Chu’er disagreed. She insisted on going up, and Jiang Kechu had no choice but to instruct her, "Whatever happens, don’t be impulsive, just leave everything to me."

Wan Chu’er obediently responded with a "Hmm."

In her previous life, when Grandpa Jiang had had his accident, she was out shopping with Zhuo Yao and had bought many clothes for her. When the Jiang Family called her, she not only failed to answer the phone but, under Zhuo Yao’s instigation, she even turned her phone off.

Afterward, the Jiang Family had never ceased to criticize her for this.

Wan Chu’er suddenly looked at Jiang Kechu, who was hurriedly walking ahead, and she understood Jiang Kechu’s decision just now.

They were not married yet, neither legally nor formally. So she had no obligations to toil for Jiang Family’s matters.

Therefore, even if she did nothing, the people from the Jiang Family would have no position to criticize her.

Should she do something, such as going to the hospital to visit with Jiang Kechu at the time of the incident, others would only praise her for being sensible and loyal.

If the Jiang Family wanted her to do something, they couldn’t be as confident and assertive as before; instead, they would owe her a favor.

Having realized this, Wan Chu’er was moved. She looked at Jiang Kechu’s anxious expression and firmly grasped his hand.

Jiang Kechu naturally grasped her hand back and whispered, "I’m sorry."

Wan Chu’er curved the corners of her mouth and said, "Don’t worry, Grandpa Jiang will definitely be fine, he’ll live a long and healthy life."

She was telling the truth, but Jiang Kechu took it as her comforting him. He just tightened his grip on her hand and continued walking.

Soon, the two found the outside of the operating room where Grandpa Jiang was. From a distance, they saw a group of familiar faces in the corridor outside the operating room—some sitting, some standing, and some pacing back and forth.

At a glance, Wan Chu’er raised her eyebrows. Quite a complete turnout.

The Jiang Family’s Three Brothers, their wives, Aunt Jiang, Jiang Lingling, Jiang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Kefei, Lin Jiayi, and her foreign husband were all there.

Lin Jiayi was the first to notice Jiang Kechu striding towards them. She quickly stood up and called out, "Big Cousin is here." Then, everyone turned to look over.

Being watched by so many people all at once, Wan Chu’er let go of Jiang Kechu’s hand. At a time , it was better not to flaunt their affection. She silently tried to make herself less noticeable.

"What happened?" Jiang Kechu asked in a chilly voice that made people shudder.

Father Jiang was solemn-faced and didn’t speak, his eyes stayed fixed on the closed door of the operating room.

Everyone was somewhat afraid of Jiang Kechu, and after some shuffling of responsibility, no one spoke up. Finally, Third Uncle Jiang, a businessman, opened his mouth, "The old man suddenly collapsed and couldn’t get up. We’ll have to wait for the doctor to come out for the specifics."

Jiang Kechu thought for a moment and then asked in a deep voice, "Who was with him at the time? Who was the first to discover what happened?"

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang lived separately in a courtyard house in Southern City, not with the Jiang Family’s Three Brothers, and they had a nanny to take care of the elderly couple.

Hearing Jiang Kechu’s question, Lin Jiayi bit her lip and then said sadly:

"I was with Grandpa at the time. Simon and I brought some things for Grandpa and Grandma. We were talking nicely when Grandpa suddenly collapsed and didn’t move. No matter how we called, there was no response. So, Simon and I hurriedly took Grandpa to the hospital and called everyone."

"The doctor said... said that Grandpa might have had a brain hemorrhage, and there is a possibility... that he might never wake up again."

Toward the end, Lin Jiayi started to cry, appearing fearfully like someone who is afraid of losing a loved one. Simon lovingly wrapped his arms around her.

"Oh dear, it’s not your fault, stop crying, it would make me sad."

Aunt Jiang was also in a state of shock; Grandpa Jiang had always been protective of her. The thought of something happening to him made tears well in her eyes.

"No, your Grandpa will definitely be fine..." Aunt Jiang muttered to herself, then suddenly raised her head to look at Jiang Kechu and Wan Chu’er, her eyes ablaze with urgency. She rushed over in a flurry.

"Ke Chu, your grandpa can’t have anything happen to him, he just can’t. You need to ask Xiao Chu... ask Xiao Chu’s Grandpa, he is quite influential, right? Have him find the best doctor to treat your grandpa, he can definitely be cured." Then she turned to Wan Chu’er,

"Xiao Chu, please ask your Grandpa for a favor. Have him talk to the leaders and get the best doctors in the country here, okay?"

Wan Chu’er was somewhat speechless. This hospital was a top-tier national hospital where countless people couldn’t even get a foot in, and with Father Jiang around, there was no need for her to step in.
