“Which one do you want to eat? I’ll wash it for you…”
This time around, other than shaking her head, Shi Yao couldn’t even get a word in.
She felt like she was sitting on a bed of needles.
Taking this into sight, Grandpa Lin discreetly shot a gleeful look at Auntie Sun, as if boasting about the tremendous success of his scheme.
On the other hand, after saying everything that he could squeeze out of his mind in the spur of a moment, Lin Jiage found himself momentarily stumped.
Hell, this was even more exhausting than doing a hundred Advanced Math problems…
And in this short moment that Lin Jiage was down, Shi Yao, who had never forgotten about the primary purpose behind her visit, took this opportunity to turn her gaze to Grandpa Lin and asked gently, “Grandpa Lin, are you feeling any better now? Is there still any discomfort anywhere?”
From a very young age, Lin Jiage had always been able to shrug everything off nonchalantly, no matter what kind of trouble he had landed himself in. But in this moment, as he heard the words Shi Yao had spoken, cold sweat swiftly began raining down his back.
Why did Soft Bun just have to be as obstinate as Big White Chubby… He had already gone all out to change the topic, so why was she adamantly pulling it back to square one?
On the other hand, heartened by Shi Yao’s concern, Grandpa Lin replied with a smile, “With Yaoyao’s concern, there is no illness too much for me to persevere through.”
A relieved smile emerged on Shi Yao’s lips and she continued speaking.
Watching Shi Yao’s moving lips, the alarmed Lin Jiage immediately attempted to interrupt her, but it was already too late.
“Grandpa Lin, I’m truly sorry about last night. I should have come over to visit you…”
As soon as he heard those words, a hint of doubt crossed over Grandpa Lin’s heartened expression, “Last night? What happened last night?”
Murphy’s law really never lies. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong…
Lin Jiage turned his gaze out of the window, not daring to look at the situation in the ward anymore.
Shi Yao blinked her eyes blankly. Guessing that Grandpa Lin might have been caught off guard by her abrupt words, she replied, “Weren’t you feeling unwell last night? I heard that you were in a critical condition, and you kept calling my name, wanting to meet me. You even had the driver pick me up…”
Grandpa Lin was bewildered.
There was no one to disturb him last night, so he delightfully pestered Auntie Sun into having a hot pot session with him…
When in the world did he feel unwell yesterday? Not to mention, a critical condition? Kept calling Yaoyao’s name?
Grandpa Lin was completely flabbergasted by Shi Yao’s words. He felt as if he was dreaming.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the other hand, Lin Jiage was swiftly reassessing his situation. Since his lie had already been exposed, the important thing at hand was to ensure that Shi Yao wouldn’t find out that he was the mastermind behind that whole matter. Since that was the case…
Since the roundabout manner didn’t work, it seems like it is about time to pull out the big guns…
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage resolved his decision before turning his gaze upon his grandfather.
He decided to launch the preemptive strike before his grandfather could say anything. With a look which suggested that Shi Yao’s words had jogged his memory, he spoke up, “I would have nearly forgotten about it if Yaoyao hadn’t mentioned the matter. Grandpa, how are you doing at the moment? Should we get my sis to send a specialist from abroad over to take a look at your condition?”
Yaoyao?
Yaoyao…
Shi Yao’s mouth opened slightly as she stared dazedly at Lin Jiage for roughly five whole seconds.
Did he just call me Yaoyao?
On the other hand, Grandpa Lin felt even more confused after hearing what Lin Jiage said.
What in the world was going on here? He was only feigning illness to stop them from canceling their engagement? When did his condition deteriorate to the point that he needed Lin Jiayi to send a specialist over from abroad over?
