Chapter 144 Pitiful Child_1
Kong Zhongshu’s character was steady and inclusive, while Long Yang’s was generous and cheerful. When these two began talking, they found a special rapport, each feeling as if they had known each other for a long time, a sense of immediate kinship.
When it was time to part, they exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Long Yang’s home was located on an ancient street in Suzhou.
Her family’s residence was a garden-style estate, covering nearly ten acres, complete with small bridges over flowing water and rockeries with lotus ponds. The environment was very serene, and the houses with their grey bricks and ancient tiles were particularly quaint and elegant, as beautiful as ink paintings.
Long Yang returned home in high spirits.
Upon seeing her grandparents sitting in the living room, she instinctively beamed a smile and greeted them, "Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back."
Grandfather Long looked up at her, his eyes flickering with a flash of kindness, "Yangyang is back."
Grandmother Long waved her over, "Yangyang, come sit!"
Long Yang noticed that her grandparents’ faces lacked their usual smiles and instead seemed worried. It appeared they were in a poor mood, so she also dropped her smile, sat beside them, and asked with concern, "Grandpa, Grandma, what’s wrong? Has something happened in the family?"
Grandmother Long let out a light sigh, "It’s Zijun; the child is sick. He suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a coma today, and was taken to the hospital. It’s been several hours now and he still hasn’t woken up. Your grandfather and I have just returned from visiting him at the hospital."
