Chapter 489 - Anxiety In The Heart
Chapter 489: Anxiety In The Heart
Luo Xiuxiu’s body had always been well. Although she was getting older, she could run, jump, eat, and sleep. When she was active, even young people would feel inferior.
Why did she suddenly fall ill?!
On the surface, Jiang Xuecheng looked indifferent, but among the elders, his relationship with Luo Xiuxiu was the best.
When he heard Xu Ziyao say that Luo Xiuxiu was sick, Jiang Xuecheng’s expression turned cold, and the hand holding the phone tightened slightly.
Xu Ziyao rarely spoke in such an anxious tone. It was likely that this was not a light illness.
“Mother, don’t be anxious. Let’s talk about it slowly. How is grandmother now? Which hospital has she been arranged to be in?”
When Jiang Xuecheng’s calm voice fell into her ears, the worry in Xu Ziyao’s heart was suddenly blown away. She took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in her heart.
“Your grandmother has been sent to The City Hospital of S City for emergency treatment, but it’s been half an hour now. She’s still in a coma and the attending doctor hasn’t come out yet.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s mood instantly dropped to the freezing point. Luo Xiu Xiu was cheerful and loved to exercise. She rarely even caught a cold. Who would have thought that she would suddenly become seriously ill?
“Wan Wan and I will rush to the hospital immediately. I’ll hang up first. If there’s anything urgent, send me a message first.”
Without waiting for Xu Ziyao to respond, Jiang Xuecheng immediately hung up.
Su Wan did not know what had happened at first, but when she heard the keywords “grandmother” and “hospital” , she instantly understood.
Looking at the gloomy face of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan suddenly felt a little worried.
“Xuecheng, what happened to grandmother?”
Luo Xiuxiu had called her yesterday. From her laughter, Su Wan could tell that she was full of vigor and vitality. However, looking at Jiang Xuecheng’s expression, she was afraid that the situation was not optimistic.
Su Wan liked this lively and sunny old lady very much. Every time when she felt the atmosphere in the Jiang family was about to turn cold, Luo Xiuxiu would smooth things over.
Moreover, Luo Xiuxiu was also very good to Su Wan. Su Wan really did not want anything to happen to this old lady.
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, a faint light flashed across his deep eyes.
He walked quickly to the sofa. As he picked up his suit jacket that he had just put down, he spoke to Su Wan.
“I’m not sure either. It’s just that mother said that grandmother fell ill and was sent to the city Chinese Medical Hospital half an hour ago. She still shows no signs of waking up.”
When Jiang Xuecheng’s words fell into her ears, Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened.
So, when she and Jiang Xuecheng just came out from The City Hospital of S City, Luo Xiuxiu was coincidentally hospitalized due to illness?
How could it be so coincidental?
A bad premonition flashed through Su Wan’s heart. She felt that Luo Xiuxiu’s sudden serious illness this time was probably related to today’s incident.
Jiang Xuecheng put on the coat and waved at Su Wan, who was still in a daze.
“Wan Wan, let’s go.”
“Okay!”
After Su Wan came back to her senses, she quickly walked to the door. She changed her shoes at the entrance and followed Jiang Xuecheng along.
Although it was not the weekend, it was off-work hours. There was a lot of traffic on the road in S City.
Both Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were stuck on the road. In the end, they had to make a detour to the side road.
Jiang Xuecheng did not say a word on the way, but Su Wan could feel the anxiety in his heart from his seemingly calm face.
Luo Xiuxiu was lying in the emergency room with no idea whether she was dead or alive, and the traffic in front of her was so congested.
Many of the people in traffic could not help but want to swear.
Su Wan sat quietly at the side, praying silently in her heart that nothing would happen to Luo Xiuxiu.
She had just sent her grandmother away recently, and Su Wan did not want to see another dead again.
Su Wan understood how anxious Jiang Xuecheng was at the moment, and she could not help but comfort him softly, “Xuecheng, grandmother is a good person. She will be fine.”
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan when he heard that. His low voice spilled out of his thin lips, but he repeated what Su Wan said.
“Nothing will happen to her.”
As he said that, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly opened the car window. The wind that was still hot from outside rushed in, blowing Jiang Xuecheng’s hair into a mess.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She silently looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s cold expression, and her heart was filled with pity.
Even if Jiang Xuecheng was like an ant on a hot pan, based on his personality, it was destined that he would not reveal anything to the outside world, especially emotions like fear and worry.
She felt sorry for him, but did not know how to express it.
Su Wan sighed silently in her heart. She could only pray in her heart that Luo Xiuxiu would be safe and sound.
She had already vaguely guessed that Luo Xiuxiu was most likely angered by the knife-wielding murder attempt that Sheng An’ning had made today.
…
There were too many cars during the off-duty period. It only took 30 minutes to get from The City Hospital of S City to Fontainebleau, but now it took almost an hour to go back with the same route.
Every time at a traffic light, once Jiang Xuecheng stopped the car, he could not help but glance at his phone. Whether it was good news or bad news, it was better than being at a loss.
After arriving at The City Hospital of S City, Jiang Xuecheng quickly parked his car under the emergency building. Then, he asked the nurse on the first floor about the emergency room where Luo Xiuxiu was.
The elevator went all the way to the seventh floor. Once the elevator door opened, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan quickly rushed to the emergency room that the nurse mentioned.
From afar, Su Wan saw Xu Ziyao in a Cheongsam outside the emergency room.
Xu Ziyao was no longer as cold and she usually was. She kept pacing back and forth outside the door, her beautiful face filled with anxiety.
“Mother, how is grandmother?”
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng asked the same question at the same time, causing Xu Ziyao to immediately raise her head.
Xu Ziyao frowned. She sighed lightly and pointed at the red light outside the emergency room.
“It’s been almost an hour and a half, and she’s still in resuscitation.”
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at the red light outside the emergency room and his gaze fell on Xu Ziyao again.
“Why would something like this happen to grandmother all of a sudden?”
Xu Ziyao looked around Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan. She looked at the white gauze used to bandage Su Wan’s shoulder. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she stopped herself,
“Your grandmother heard about what happened on the overpass today. She just finished reading the news and fainted on the ground.”
Sheng An’ning was, after all, a child raised by the Jiang family. Even if she was not their biological granddaughter, Luo Xiuxiu Still liked Sheng An’ning very much.
Even though Sheng An’ning kept ruining her image after she returned to the country, Luo Xiuxiu still took pity on her.
In Luo Xiuxiu’s eyes, Sheng An’ning had been living under someone else’s roof ever since she was young, so she felt a little insecure. On top of that, she liked Jiang Xuecheng too much, which was why she did all those things.
It wasn’t until the incident at Jiang Zhiyuan’s 70th birthday banquet that Luo Xiuxiu was shocked!
After so many years of nurturing, how did she end up like this?!
And the farce that happened on the overpass at North Second Street today made Luo Xiuxiu even more breathless. She was so angry that she fainted on the spot!
