"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, I'll make arrangements immediately." the other party responded.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mengxue and Xiaoling hurried to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, doctors had used instruments to confirm that the patient's condition was stable.

"Uncle Wang, thank you." Zhao Mengxue said gratefully when she saw the other party.

"Ms. Zhao is so polite. I'm going to deal with other things first. If you need anything, just ring the call bell!" After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he turned and left the ward.

"Thank you, Xiaoling."

After the other party walked away, Zhao Mengxue said something to Xiaoling beside him, and then prepared to leave.

But just as she turned around, she was stopped by Xiaoling, "Miss Zhao, I...can I stay and take care of grandma?"

Zhao Mengxue was slightly startled when she heard the other party's request, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, you chat with grandma first, and then I'll buy something to eat."

"Okay." Xiaoling nodded.

After leaving the ward, Zhao Mengxue took the elevator downstairs, planning to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and maybe have dinner here.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhao Mengxue suddenly heard footsteps.

Turning around, she saw a man wearing a floral shirt and gold-rimmed glasses rushing out of the elevator and running towards the other end of the corridor.

The man was so fast that Zhao Mengxue didn't even react before he disappeared from sight.

"Who is this person? Why is he so sneaky?" Zhao Mengxue muttered to herself, then shook her head, turned and left the hospital.

After buying some food on the way, Zhao Mengxue returned to the ward.

After returning to the ward, Zhao Mengxue placed the purchased meals on the coffee table, and then invited Xiaoling to come over and eat.

"Thank you, Miss Zhao." Xiaoling thanked her politely.

"You don't have to be so polite, I'm just dropping by." Zhao Mengxue smiled.

"oh oh!"

Xiaoling nodded slightly and began to enjoy her dinner slowly.

Because neither Zhao Mengxue nor Xiaoling was good at chatting, they were basically silent.

Halfway through the meal, the old woman lying on the hospital bed suddenly woke up.

"Grandma, are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Zhao Mengxue asked quickly when she saw her grandma waking up.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little hungry." The old lady said weakly.

"That's just right. The food is ready. I'll serve you some soup." After saying that, Zhao Mengxue took the bowls and chopsticks and walked towards the small table.

Soon, Zhao Mengxue brought out the soup and two plates of side dishes, all of which were placed on the coffee table.

"Here, drink some soup while it's hot to warm your stomach." Zhao Mengxue handed a spoon to the old woman.

"Oh, what kind of soup is this? It smells delicious." The old lady took a deep breath and said in admiration.

"The soup made from the bones I specially bought will definitely taste delicious." Zhao Mengxue said with a smile.

"Haha, your girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." The old lady smiled kindly.

"Come on, grandma, you have a taste first." Zhao Mengxue scooped another spoonful and fed it to the old grandma.

"Hmm...this soup is so delicious!" After the old lady took a sip, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Drink more if grandma likes it." Zhao Mengxue continued to scoop soup for grandma.

"Okay, I'll try other side dishes." Grandma took the bowl, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Zhao Mengxue sat next to the sofa and quietly finished the dinner with her grandmother.

During this period, the old lady kept praising Zhao Mengxue for her filial piety. Zhao Mengxue's face turned red when she heard this, and she didn't know how to answer.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Mengxue put away the dishes.

When she packed up the things in the kitchen, washed her hands and was about to go out, the old woman stopped her.

"Mengxue, are you busy now? If not, can you chat with grandma?"

The old lady looked at Zhao Mengxue with expectant eyes.

Zhao Mengxue thought for a while, then nodded: "Of course."

After saying that, Zhao Mengxue sat on the chair opposite the old lady.

"Mengxue, how old are you this year?" Grandma suddenly asked.

Zhao Mengxue was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Twenty-six years old."

"Oh, then you are one year older than that brat of mine!" Grandma said suddenly.

"Grandma, who is your son?" Zhao Mengxue asked doubtfully.

Grandma smiled: "My brat, he is a doctor in a military hospital. Not only that, he often performs missions with a group of soldiers!"

As she said this, the old lady couldn't help showing a proud expression.

"So that's it." Zhao Mengxue nodded.

"Mengxue, actually I have something to ask of you, and I hope you can agree." Grandma suddenly said seriously.

"Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill your wish." Zhao Mengxue said with assurance.

"Haha, I knew you were the best. Then I won't hide it from you."

The old lady smiled, and then continued: "Actually, I have long been interested in you as my granddaughter-in-law, but I didn't expect that you and Xiao Chen are already married, and I don't want to force others to do anything, so I never mentioned it."

"what!"

Zhao Mengxue opened her mouth wide in surprise, obviously frightened by her grandma's words.

She never expected that the old lady would want her to be her granddaughter-in-law.

But soon, she realized it, waved her hand and explained: "Grandma, this is not appropriate, but if you like any girl in our courtyard, I can help you match up."

"That's enough." The old lady said with a smile, "Okay, let's not mention this anymore. You still have work to do. I have a nurse here to look after you. You don't have to keep an eye on me."

"How can this be done? Grandma, I'd better stay and take care of you." Zhao Mengxue insisted.

"Silly boy, my body is so strong that I don't need anyone to take care of me at all." The old lady said with a smile.

"Grandma, although you have a strong body, you are old after all. What if something happens to you?" Zhao Mengxue advised.

After hearing what Zhao Mengxue said, the old lady thought for a moment, and then said: "Well, since you insist on staying, I won't force you. Remember to come and see me when you have time."

"Yes! I will." Zhao Mengxue smiled and nodded.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Zhao Mengxue left the hospital.

Having been with the old lady for so long just now, she felt quite stressed.

After leaving the hospital, Zhao Mengxue stopped a car and returned to the company.

An hour later, Zhao Mengxue finally returned home.

Chen Yuchen had just finished cooking. Looking at Zhao Mengxue's tired face, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come and eat."

"Okay." Zhao Mengxue changed into home clothes and returned to Chen Yuchen.

Rubbing his sore neck, Zhao Mengxue smiled bitterly, "The nursing home has been very busy these past two days."
