Xia Yinian was completely awake.
After waking up, she didn’t say anything, appearing a bit dazed.
Old Madam didn’t push her to speak, fearing it might repel her.
This child really suffered last night. When the female physician examined her before, she said she had... minor tearing.
To think that she could tear, one could only imagine what she had gone through!
It was horrific! Not to ntion the little girl, even as an elderly woman herself, felt her scalp tingle at the thought.
Even she didn’t understand what got into her grandson, who normally seed so gentle and refined, but in bed...
It really was inconceivable, he didn’t seem like that sort of person at all!
"Grandma, why don’t you go back first? I can take care of Nian Nian."
Gu Lingqian had been sitting by the bed, holding Xia Yinian in his arms, not needing her to say anything.
He had been the one explaining everything to Old Madam.
Old Madam glared at him, not reassured at all.
Knowing what she was worried about, Gu Lingqian quickly said, "Grandma, I truly realize my mistakes now, it was really just a mont of impulsiveness that led to..."
"I absolutely won’t let it happen again, it definitely won’t!"
The servant brought in so chicken soup, which Old Madam had instructed to be made.
Gu Lingqian added, "Nian Nian has not eaten anything today... Grandma, she will feel... uneasy with you here, please go ahead, I will take good care of her."
Old Madam was really not at ease, but seeing the two of them still embracing each other, they seed to be in a good state.
Though she despised her grandson’s beastly behavior, as long as Nian Nian wasn’t angry anymore, they could slowly get better over ti.
After all, it was a private matter between the two young ones, and as an elder, it wasn’t appropriate for her to interfere.
Finally, after much hesitation, Old Madam had the maid push her out and she left.
Gu Lingqian dismissed all the maids and helped Xia Yinian sit up properly on the bed, then pulled up a chair to sit by the bed and held up the chicken soup.
Yesterday at this ti, it was Xia Yinian who was helping him eat, and surprisingly, just one day later, it was now his turn to take care of her.
The chicken soup was still a bit hot, he brought it to his lips and gently blew on it.
"Nian Nian, I didn’t go to Uncle, when Grandma saw carrying you back, we’ve been here since then."
"I will go to explain to Uncle tonight, but I can’t now, worried that Grandma’s people might see."
He picked up a spoon, scooped up so soup, carefully blew it cool, and then brought it to her lips.
The little girl’s originally tender and dewy lips were now not only pale but also chapped.
Her entire state really looked bad.
However, when Gu Lingqian brought the chicken soup to her, she imdiately opened her mouth to drink.
Her eyes were fixed on the bowl of chicken soup in his hand, she even involuntarily licked her lips.
She was willing to drink!
The joy in Gu Lingqian’s heart surged, and he slowly fed her spoon by spoon.
Xia Yinian not only finished two bowls of chicken soup but also ate a lot of the food brought by the servants later on.
It was probably the most she had ever eaten since Gu Lingqian knew her.
After having her fill, Gu Lingqian took a towel to wash her face.
Seeing a bit of rosy color finally returning to her pale face, he wanted to say sothing, but she suddenly grasped his wrist.
Her voice was very hoarse, but at least it was clear.
"No need to find him, can you send back to school early tomorrow? I haven’t been to school for a long ti."
