Chapter 1938: Studying Abroad (9)
She really didn’t want this incident to make both families unhappy. "What’s so good about that boy? He’s not going to die." Ruan Jianguo said grumpily, but nobody paid him any mind.
When Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi followed Shu Jie and Ruan Jianguo to the hospital, it was already around ten o’clock at night. Lu Zhiwei was still out of town and couldn’t come back, and Zhao Li was keeping night watch.
Lu Zishu had been in pain all day, and now he had fallen asleep, while Zhao Li was dazedly snoozing by the bedside. Hearing a knock on the door, she saw the Ruan family arrive and immediately stood up.
"Why did you come here in the middle of the night? You must be so tired." As soon as Zhao Li stepped out, she grabbed Ruan Jiaojiao’s little hand, looking at her red eyes with concern, "Have you been crying?"
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Li, her nose tingled, and she almost couldn’t hold back her tears again. She reached out to hug Zhao Li, and whispered an apology, "Godmother, I’m sorry."
"Silly girl, how could this be your fault? If there’s anyone to blame, it’s your Brother Zishu. He’s grown up but has no sense, always talking nonsense day and night." After saying that, she turned to Duan Xi, "Xiaoxi, you did well this time. If that boy talks nonsense again next time, just hit him, Auntie Li won’t ask you for medical expenses."
"Pfft." Ruan Jiaojiao was amused by her words.
"You’re laughing, that’s good, don’t furrow your brow at such a young age." Zhao Li said, reaching out to rub Ruan Jiaojiao’s constantly knitted brow.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, clinging to Zhao Li’s arm, snuggling affectionately against her shoulder.
Zhao Li patted her small hand and then began talking to Shu Jie, walking towards the hospital room as they spoke.
Inside the hospital room.
Lu Zishu woke up as soon as Zhao Li opened the door to the room. His nose hurt so much he couldn’t sleep deeply, yet he didn’t dare to open his eyes.
