"Grandma."
Hearing Jiang Ziyu's call, the old woman was pulled back from her disturbed thoughts. "Ah, Ziyu. I just came to ask about Mingjue's condition."
"His recovery is going smoothly. After the anesthesia wears off, once the wound heals a bit, he should be able to walk normally," Jiang Ziyu replied.
Upon hearing about the surgery, the old woman's face showed relief. However, looking at Jiang Ziyu, she couldn't immediately forget what she had said.
"Grandma, I have other things to do, so I won't stay with you. If you have any questions, you can ask Doctor Peter inside; he is Mingjue's attending physician," Jiang Ziyu brushed the old woman off to Peter with a few words.
The old woman wanted to say more, but seeing her distant expression, she gave up.
"Come back for dinner when you have time."
"We'll see."
After Jiang Ziyu left, Lu Sisi, feeling satisfied, helped the old woman back.
They arrived just in time; Di Mingjue had woken up.
"Where's Ziyu?" The moment he opened his eyes, Di Mingjue asked about Jiang Ziyu's whereabouts.
Di Jianhan pretended not to hear, asking about his physical sensations while telling Lu Sisi to call the doctor.
"Zi... The doctor said your surgery was very successful. Once the wound heals a bit, you'll be able to walk like a normal person," the old woman said, looking at him with relief.
Ever since his car accident had left him in a vegetative state, the old woman had been thinking about his normal appearance whenever she had free time. After all these years, his body could finally return to its previous state.
As Di Mingjue's mind cleared, he asked again, "Where is Ziyu? Where is she?"
"Why are you looking for her? You need to rest well. Sis will take care of you during this time," Di Jianhan scolded him irritably.
Di Jianhan considered Di Mingjue's behavior as causing trouble. He rejected what was good and always thought of the person who was not good for him.
Di Mingjue was very stubborn; once he set his mind on something, no one could change it.
He raised his hand, removed the needle from his arm, and prepared to get out of bed.
"What are you doing!" Di Jianhan blocked him. "Your wound hasn't healed yet. You will lie on the bed obediently."
"Call Jiang Ziyu in, or I won't lie here," Di Mingjue threatened with his own health.
Di Jianhan wanted to hold out against him, to see who would win. However, the old woman was completely unwilling and immediately urged him to go and bring her in.
Unable to overpower him, Di Jianhan reluctantly left the ward and bumped into Jiang Ziyu, who was arriving with Peter. Lu Sisi was also with them.
"Uncle, Sister Ziyu is also Mingjue ge's attending physician," Lu Sisi stepped forward to explain.
She had gone to find the doctor, but Peter insisted on bringing Jiang Ziyu along. He said they needed to observe Di Mingjue's condition together, which angered her to the point that she couldn't refuse.
"You're here just in time. Mingjue wants to see you," Di Jianhan relayed irritably.
This delighted Peter, who gave Jiang Ziyu a knowing look as if he had foreseen this.
The group entered the ward. Di Mingjue asked Jiang Ziyu to stay alone, while everyone else left.
"Are there things you can't say in front of us?" Di Jianhan questioned.
He wasn't afraid of anything, except for their feelings reigniting, which would make things difficult.
"Get out!" Di Mingjue impatiently urged.
Peter, seeing his pitiful state, kindly helped him.
"The patient cannot get too agitated. Family members need to be more mindful."
There was nothing to be done now, even if they were unwilling.
In less than a minute, only Jiang Ziyu and Di Mingjue remained in the ward.
"I feel like I'll be very uncomfortable if I don't say what I wanted to say before the surgery."
"There's no need to say more. You should focus on recovering and don't forget about the surgery at the end of the month."
