Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 527 what aout yourself?



Grandfather Ji called out to her when he walked back inside the room but paused in his steps.

He was surprise to see his granddaughter get out of bed but seeing her staring out the window and lost in thoughts, he had an idea of what she was thinking about.

Yue Ling glance down at the children one last time then turn to face her grandfather with a smile.

\"Yeye, you don't have to stay if you are busy. I'll be fine.\"

She spoke as she walks back to sit on the hospital bed.

\"There are nurses and doctors here. If I get bored, I'll go bother Doctor Dong to kill some time.\"

Her words were full of jokes, but Grandfather Ji could only feel his heart ache when he saw her smile.

It was a smile, yet at the same time not a smile.

\"I am your yeye. No matter how busy my schedule is, I will always have time for you and Jingxu.\"

He walks over to the chair by the window and sits down. He did this, because he wanted to make sure that when the nurse comes in with the tray of food, it will be easier to set it up for Yue Ling.

However, because the chair was near the window, he was able to see what she was looking at before he came back to the room.

Grandfather Ji stood near the window and stare down to the children playing in the back courtyard of the hospital. It was then that he knew what he thought was correct.

\"How are the women we rescued? What about Shi Yan and Qin Xue?\"

Yue Ling asks as she fix the blanket over her. Due to this, she did not see that her grandfather had taken a glimpse out the window before sitting down.

\"The young girl, Shi Yan was not in major harm, so she has been reunited with her family.\"

Grandfather Ji answers her then he sighs as he thought back to what had happened.

\"In total of the women rescued, there are 30 alive and 20 deceased. We've already informed news to the families of the deceased. As for the ones rescued, 18 of them sustained minor injuries and have been properly treated and returned to their family. As for the other 10, 6 of them had major injuries and need longer treatment.\"

As his words fell, he couldn't help but heave another long sigh.

He is truly sorry for what happened to these women. No parent ever wishes for anything like this to befall their children.

\"The other 4 women were treated. However, the injury inflicted upon them was not only physically but also mentally that it affected their brain. Due to this, we had to transfer them to a private psychiatric hospital to help them get proper treatment.\"

Listening to her grandfather's explanation of the situation, Yue Ling slowly close her eyes to steady herself.

She cannot imagine the pain and fear these women must have gone through.

Some people that undergo such trauma are mentally able to go on in life normally with help. However, some cannot because the nightmare will continue to haunt their mind whether their eyes are open or closed.

If only she had gotten there sooner. Would she have been able to save them from such fate?

Knowing she cannot rewind time, she takes a deep breath and opens her eyes.

\"I will speak with Doctor Dong and the other hospitals. All the medical fees of each woman alive and the funeral fee for the deceased, I will personally take care of it.\"

Hearing her decision, Grandfather Ji was slightly taken by surprise.

\"Ah Ling, are you sure? It is a huge fee in total.\"

Yue Ling nods her head and gives her grandfather a reassuring smile.

\"It is the least I can do for the women and their family.\"

She sighs inside and faintly smiles with a hint of grief in her eyes.

\"No matter how much the fee is, it is only money. Money will always come back as long you work for it, but not a person's life. Once a person is gone, the only thing that comes back is the memories of them.\"

She is a woman in control of three big international companies. Helping those in need is what she should do. That was the way her parents and grandfathers taught her.

Grandfather Ji nod his head in understanding. He had already taken out an amount from his private account and gave it to each hospital to help cover the fees of the women.

However, hearing his granddaughter's decision, he was truly proud of her. Proud of her that she is not greedy like some people who have money.

Ever since she took over her father's company and made her own, she is always willing to help those who are need.

Whether they are in need of money or not, so long as they are good people, she will lend a hand.

He doesn't know how many, but he knows that she is one of the very few people he knows that will never hesitate to help with charity around the world.

Like the saying goes, 'good deeds often come back to us when we least expect it and offer a source of future happiness.'

With all the good deeds his granddaughter has done, he hopes that she can live every day in happiness.

Oblivious to her grandfather's thoughts, Yue Ling looks at him with slightly creased brows. He had mention everyone except for one person.

\"What about Qin Xue? Is she alright?\"

When he heard the name, Grandfather Ji heaves a long sigh. He nods his head and answers.

\"If you hadn't performed emergency surgery on her in time, the drug injected inside her would have caused her to overdose. The last I heard, the doctors were able to clear all the drug inside her and she should be waking up soon.\"

Thinking about the red hair girl name Qin Xue, he sighs again for the fourth time.

\"Out of all the women that were taken, only five of them were from wealthy families. However, this Qin Xue girl is from a very prominent family. Although her family is not in match with the Han, Ji and Lu family, her family is still one of the greatly respected families in Imperial.\"

Yue Ling listened attentively. When she heard that Qin Xue will be fine, she sighed in relief.

Whether Qin Xue is from a wealthy family or not, she didn't care.

From their short encounter, she already knew that the red hair woman is a good person. If she wasn't, she would have protected herself and not Shi Yan.

Grandfather Ji stares at his granddaughter in silence as his thoughts drifted.

He was hesitant about the question in his mind but gathered all his courage and asks.

\"You have asked how everyone else is doing, but what about yourself? How are you feeling?\"
