She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

Meng Xia's grandma is not in Nancheng. Since her parents passed away, she has been living with her brother-in-law's family in City A. She has not had much contact with her in these years, but Meng Xia pays alimony every year.

The two drove to City A overnight. Seeing that the woman was tense and silent along the way, Huo Xibai couldn't help but raise his hand and hold her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

The warm hands completely surrounded the hand that was holding the hem of her clothes, and the heat was transferred bit by bit along the palm, making Meng Xia bite her lower lip involuntarily, rarely refusing.

In fact, the relationship between her and those relatives is not deep, only her grandmother still has some affection——

Because her parents worked in Nancheng when she was a child and had no time to take care of her, they sent her to live with her grandmother in the countryside for a few years, and then brought her back to Nancheng when she was old enough to study.

Although those memories are very long ago, it does not prevent her from feeling very friendly every time she sees her grandmother.

A few hours later, the car finally stopped at the entrance of Central Hospital A.

Meng Xia opened the car door in a panic and trotted into the hospital. At a glance, she saw the middle-aged man waiting in the lobby——

"Xia Xia, here!"

The man was the first to wave to her, but when he saw Huo Xibai next to her, his eyes paused slightly, "This is..."

Meng Xia didn't have time to explain, so she gasped and said, "Where's grandma? How is she?"

"The situation is not good. Let me take you over to take a look first."

After a while, several people appeared in the ward——

The room was not big. It was an ordinary four-person ward with four beds arranged in sequence and separated by curtains. When Grandma Mengxia entered the second bed, they had to pass the first old man and walked over. It still seemed a bit crowded when they stood inside.

"There is no way. Hospital beds are scarce now. We only got this bed through some connections."

Catching a glimpse of the two people's frowning, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the man's face, and he lowered his voice to explain. Meng Xia didn't say anything and walked over, only to see that familiar face——

Different from the kindness and kindness in his memory, the old man seemed to have lost a lot of weight overnight. His face was wrinkled and without any blood. The tip of Meng Xia's nose felt sore and she turned her head away and couldn't bear to look at him anymore.

"Don't worry, I'll change you to a single room early tomorrow morning."

A big hand suddenly clasped her shoulder and hugged her into his arms. Only then did Meng Xia react and quickly raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.

"Forget it, don't disturb their rest, let's talk about it after we go out."

After just one glance, several people quickly exited the ward. Meng Xia turned around and asked, "Uncle, what's going on? Why did grandma suddenly..."

Obviously at the beginning of this year, she came to City A to visit her. At that time, the old man was still fine and even made dumplings for her with his own hands.

"The doctor said that she is old and her body is prone to problems. She suddenly fell down yesterday afternoon. I thought she was fine, but she suddenly felt dizzy and vomited at night. We had to rush to the hospital."

"The doctor said it was intracranial hemorrhage and she needed surgery as soon as possible. However, she is old and the risk of surgery is very high. Even if the surgery is successful, there will be sequelae. She will need someone to take care of her in the future..."

At this point, the man couldn't help but wipe his face, "If we hadn't really had no choice, we wouldn't have troubled you to come here overnight..."

Hearing this, Meng Xia immediately interrupted him, "At this time, you are still talking about trouble. My mother is gone, and it is my responsibility to take care of grandma. It has been all your hard work..."

As she said that, she lowered her head and looked at her phone. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. "It's getting late. How about you go back and rest first, uncle? It's fine as long as we are here. We can discuss the specific situation with the doctor tomorrow?"

"You... no, no, no, you have had a hard time driving here at night. I'll be here to watch over you. You can go and rest."

"Don't argue with us young people, we are used to staying up late."

After an argument, the man left, leaving only Meng Xia and Huo Xibai——
