After listening to Professor Qin's words, Huo Yunshen fell silent for a long time . It hadn't been easy for him to restore peace again in his heart . His heart had been calm as a lake but now it was rippling with disturbance, as if someone had flung a pebble into it .
He had left Estan hastily and without notice . So she had come to look for him, and probably to ask him why!
So what if they met again?
There were many facts that could not be changed .
“I'll get someone to take you for your CT scan later . The CT room is in the inpatient department . ”
“Okay . ”
When the nurse wheeled Huo Yunshen out of the rehabilitation center, Huo Jingtang just happened to arrive in time and joined him .
At the inpatient department, Xu Xiyan arrived at the ward with Ying Bao . The old man was sleeping and Ye Xun was sitting on the sofa by the window, playing a mobile game .
“Uncle Tree-leaf!” Ying Bao spotted Ye Xun at first sight and ran over to him happily .
Ye Xun looked up and saw that the mother-daughter duo had arrived . He put away his mobile phone and stood up . “Hey, Little Baby is here too!”
He spread his arms wide to greet her, but the little girl squeezed past from his side and ran straight for the bed .
She stood on her toes and leaned over the side of the bed, looking at the old man who was sleeping there . She turned around and asked her mother, “Xi Baby, is he Baby's other Great-Grandpa?”
“Yeah . Great-Grandpa is having a rest . Ying Bao mustn't be noisy!” Xu Xiyan said, waving a hand at her .
Ying Bao immediately reduced her voice to a minimum and said quietly, “Okay, Baby understands . Baby won't be noisy . ”
Ying Bao did not speak anymore . Rather, she held her chin as she intently watched her great-grandfather sleeping, waiting quietly for him to wake up .
Not long after, the old man had finally gotten enough sleep and opened his eyes .
Ying Bao was the first to notice and called out in surprise to the adults, “Xi Baby! Uncle Tree-leaf! Great-Grandpa has woken up!”
Xu Xiyan and Ye Xun glanced over together . The old man had indeed woken up . But the eyes of the old man were unfocused and bleary, and he looked dull-minded .
The little girl grabbed the old man's big withered hand and shook hands with him, introducing herself, “Great-Grandpa, how are you? I'm Ying Bao . You may not know me, but you must know my mommy . I'm the daughter of my mommy!”
The old man gazed over at Ying Bao . He looked at her for a while, but he did not respond .
Ying Bao naturally thought that both of her mother's grandfathers should be similar people, and he would've definitely greeted her warmly after she introduced herself .
However, the old man did not respond, dampening the little girl's self-confidence . Disappointed, she asked her mother, “Xi Baby, why is Great-Grandpa ignoring Baby? Does he not like Baby?”
Xu Xiyan bent down and knelt next to her daughter . She whispered to her, “Great-Grandpa doesn't dislike Ying Bao; Great-Grandpa definitely likes you . It's just that Great-Grandpa is very sick now, and he can't really recognize us . ”
After hearing her mother's explanation, Ying Bao's depressed mood was completely swept away . She winked with her bright eyes, held the old man's hand again and said, “Don't be afraid, Great-Grandpa . Baby will stay with you . ”
The little girl then proceeded to chat with the old man, babbling childishly at him . She even entertained the old man by imitating small animals .
Under the constant stimulation of Ying Bao's interactions with him, the old man finally had some reaction and his dull eyes were also becoming somewhat focused .
He raised his big hand and stroked Ying Bao on her head .
Ying Bao froze . She called out to her mother excitedly, “Mommy! Look! Great-Grandpa is touching my head!”
“Yeah, I saw! Great-Grandpa must be praising you for your great performance . ”
Xu Xiyan was very surprised . She did not expect that her daughter could manage to make the old man respond .
The old man's mind seemed to have cleared by a good amount . He looked at the cute little baby and finally spoke up, “Yanyan…”
