Chapter 168: As the Water Recedes, the Rocks Emerge (2)_1
This left the life doctor who was waiting for Old Deng to take his medicine puzzled. Who on the other side of the phone dared to hang up on Old Deng? If you were to count the number of people in the world who would dare to hang up on Old Deng, it would probably only be a handful.
"Old Deng, your medicine." Old Deng’s temper was not exactly good; he could be considered stubborn, and because of his old age, he sometimes had a childlike temper, especially when it came to taking medicine. Therefore, every time Old Deng’s life doctor came to urge him to take his medicine, he did so with trepidation.
"Take the medicine back, I’ll wait for my granddaughter to come and check on me," Old Deng waved his hand at the life doctor, signaling him to leave.
It was not long before Situ Xin arrived, accompanied by Old Master Situ. As soon as he heard that Old Deng was feeling unwell, he hurried over with Situ Xin.
Old Deng, seeing Old Master Situ and Situ Xin, smiled so much that his eyes squinted shut. "You are here." Old Lady Deng was also busy greeting Old Master Situ and Situ Xin.
Situ Xin told Old Lady Deng not to fuss, then she sat next to Old Deng, first glaring at him with slight anger. Old Deng was not at all upset by Situ Xin’s glare; instead, his smile broadened even more.
Situ Xin took one of Old Deng’s hands and checked his pulse. Thankfully, he did not have a serious illness, just a mild cold. However, Situ Xin frowned.
While Old Deng’s illness had been cured by Situ Xin, the fact remained that he was advanced in years, and his body could not be compared to those in their thirties or forties. If Old Deng knew how to live like Old Master Situ and his peers, Situ Xin would not be worried. However, Old Deng’s workload was even heavier than that of an average middle-aged person, putting tremendous strain on his body.
