The first ti the call didn’t go through, Jian Ran thought it might be due to the Qin Family setting off firecrackers and fireworks, making it hard to hear. So, she dialed again.
The second call was quickly answered.
"Uh... Sir, it’s Jian Ran. Wishing you... a Happy New Year and good health..."
"Ran... it’s... Qin Mu."
Jian Ran: "..."
Suddenly hearing Qin Mu’s voice on the other end, Jian Ran wasn’t surprised. However... Qin Mu’s voice was unusually deep, as though he was suppressing so emotion. Jian Ran’s bright eyes widened slightly, and she spoke with concern.
"Qin Mu, has sothing happened?"
"Yes... Grandpa had a sudden heart attack and is now... being rushed to the hospital for ergency treatnt."
Jian Ran: "..."
Jian Ran’s face turned pale instantly, and Gu Mochen quickly noticed Jian Ran’s unusual expression, his deanor growing tense.
"Which hospital is he being treated at? How is his condition? How did he suddenly have a heart attack?"
Jian Ran asked one question after another, while Qin Mu, now overwheld with worry, looked at the ergency room’s red light and replied hoarsely, "At the First Hospital... I have no idea about his condition now... Ran, I’m so scared... that Grandpa might not pull through."
Jian Ran felt the sa way. During her last visit to the Qin Family, she’d already noticed Grandpa’s health was not great.
But Grandpa was so stubborn, insisting that he was fine and nothing was wrong...
Now, a sudden attack requiring ergency treatnt must an sothing serious has happened.
"Qin Mu, Mochen and I will be there soon. Wait for us there..."
"Okay..."
Qin Mu hung up the call, and his usual carefree deanor was replaced with a solemn expression as he stared at the direction of the ergency room.
Grandpa must be okay...
He has to be.
...
After hanging up the call, Jian Ran looked at Gu Mochen and said anxiously, "Mochen... let’s hurry to the First Hospital. Grandpa had a sudden heart attack and is now undergoing ergency treatnt. Things might not look good."
"Alright..."
With how much the Qin Grandpa had always cared for Tang Bao, of course Jian Ran and Gu Mochen had to go.
"Ranran, don’t worry... Grandpa is strong, nothing bad will happen..."
"Mmm."
As Gu Mochen helped Jian Ran into her coat, he bent down to help her put on her shoes before quickly getting dressed himself.
"What about Tang Bao?"
As they were about to leave, Jian Ran, frazzled, suddenly realized Tang Baobao was still at ho.
"Don’t worry, Dad’s here. He’ll look after her..."
"Alright..."
Gu Mochen helped Jian Ran sit down on the sofa, then knocked on Jian Anguo’s door and explained why he and Jian Ran had to go out. Jian Anguo imdiately agreed.
"Mochen, take good care of Jian Ran. She’s pregnant now, so be careful."
"Got it, Dad. You should get so rest..."
"Alright."
...
When Jian Ran and Gu Mochen arrived at the First Hospital, the red light above the ergency room was still shining.
The journey there had been quick, but the streets were already mostly empty.
Everyone had gone ho to celebrate the holiday.
Outside, everything was beautifully decorated and festive, celebrating the arrival of the new year.
But as soon as they reached the doors of the ergency room, it was an entirely different scene.
The Qin Family had all gathered there... including Qin Jin and Qin Song.
Qin Dad and Qin Mom were pacing nervously back and forth in front of the ergency room, while Qin Mu slumped pathetically against the wall, sliding down to sit on the ground, his entire deanor dejected.
