Xu Weilai couldn’t help but frown when she saw him like this. She asked, “Gu Yu, did something happen? Is it Grandpa?”
She also saw the caller ID just now.
After Gu Yu hung up the phone, his expression was still cold. He simply explained to her, “Grandpa suddenly fell down the stairs just now.”
“What?” Xu Weilai was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hand.
“Let’s go to the hospital.”
“Okay. ”
Gu Yu held Xu Weilai’s hand, then turned around and ran out of the small garden. He walked to the car that assistant Lin had parked by the roadside. He opened the door of the backseat. After Xu Weilai sat in, he got in and said in a deep voice, “Assistant Lin, go to Hospital X, quickly!”
Assistant Lin was very taken aback that he suddenly wanted to go to the hospital. However, since he saw them rushing over in a hurry just now, and he had a grave expression on his face, he vaguely guessed what had happened, so he didn’t dare to say anything unnecessary. He readily agreed, started the engine, and stepped on the accelerator. The car rushed out.
It was already 10:30 pm. There were fewer and fewer cars on the road, so the car reached the hospital without any obstruction.
Gu Yu and Xu Weilai got off the car and walked straight to the operating room. Gu Yu was still holding Xu Weilai’s hand. Although his expression didn’t show much emotion, Xu Weilai could feel that his hand was trembling slightly.
Xu Weilai could only hold his hand even tighter and silently give him strength.
At the entrance of the operating room.
Old Lin and Auntie Lin were standing guard there. Both of them had anxious looks on their faces as they paced back and forth uneasily.
Auntie Lin had sharp eyes. When she saw Gu Yu and Xu Weilai running over, she immediately went up to them and grabbed Gu Yu’s arm. Her voice was hoarse as she spoke, “young master, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault for not taking good care of the old man. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
Gu Yu gently patted her shoulder. As she was emotionally unstable, he looked at Lao Lin behind her and asked, “What happened?”
Lao Lin pulled his wife to the side first, and only then did he answer, “The old man had been recuperating during this period of time. In fact, his vitality and alertness had improved a lot. Therefore before he went to bed today, my wife wanted to warm up a cup of milk for him, so she went to the kitchen. She didn’t see the old man. The old man went up the stairs by himself. Somehow, halfway up, he suddenly rolled down the stairs. I don’t know if he missed his step or something.”
“My wife heard the loud noise from the living room. She ran out to take a look. The old man was lying there while bleeding. She was terrified and called for me. I called an ambulance to send him over.”
Pausing for a moment, he swallowed his saliva and looked at the tightly shut door of the operating room. His voice lowered a little. “When he was sent over, he was already in a coma. He had been in there for half an hour… ”
Assistant Lin parked his car and ran over. When he heard this, his entire body trembled.
Two days ago, when he was on the phone with his mother, she had just told him that the old man’s body had recovered a lot these few days. Why would he fall down out of the blue when he was walking down the stairs?
He was already so old, so with such a bad fall, what if something bad happened to him…
Upon thinking of this, Assistant Lin smacked himself on the head. What on earth was he thinking? The old man was a lucky man. He would definitely be fine!
“I got it.”
Gu Yu’s voice was devoid of any emotion. He closed his eyes and walked to the bench to sit down.
