Zhang's mother sent Qin Zhiai out of the ward, stood in the corridor, stared at her back and disappeared, and then returned to the ward.

……

Mr. Gu woke up at half past eight, and after the doctor's examination, he recommended staying in the hospital for two days.

After the doctor left, Zhang's mother waited for Mr. Gu to finish eating, brought a glass of water, and handed it to Mr. Gu to rinse his mouth, hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "Old man, I saw that you burned so badly last night, and I was frightened, so I called the little master......"

“…… The little master was on a business trip, and it was Miss Qin who answered the phone, and then she came to the hospital last night...... After taking care of you all night, she left in the morning, and the breakfast was also specially prepared by the housekeeper she instructed the little young master to prepare and send ......it over."

Zhang's mother said while observing the old gentleman's face and seeing that he showed no signs of displeasure, before continuing: "...... Miss Qin said that she would come over at night when you fell asleep...... I think she left before you woke up and came after you went to sleep, probably because I saw that you didn't like her, and I was afraid that she would be an eyesore, make you feel bad, and affect your condition, so she ...... like this."

Old Mr. Gu frowned and didn't speak.

Mother Zhang didn't dare to continue, and waited until Mr. Gu finished rinsing his mouth, took the water cup and went to the bathroom.

After Mama Zhang came out, she glanced at Mr. Gu, leaning on the head of the bed, staring out the window, looking thoughtful, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

Mr. Gu stayed in the hospital for three days, and Qin Zhiai came for three nights.

On the morning of the third night, before dawn, Mr. Gu woke up.

Qin Zhiai, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed and looking down at her mobile phone, noticed the movement and immediately raised her head, after coming into contact with Mr. Gu's sight, her whole person was still a little nervous: "Grandpa, are you awake?" ”

Qin Zhiai thought that she would hear Mr. Gu ask her why she was here, or just ignore her as usual, but she didn't expect that Mr. Gu stared at her for a while, and then let out a "hmm", and then struggled to sit up.

Qin Zhiai stretched out her hand and helped Mr. Gu.

Qin Zhiai knew that Old Mr. Gu didn't like to talk to her, and seeing that he didn't speak, she sat next to him and was silent.

The atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward, in order to relieve the tension in her heart, Qin Zhiai washed two apples, peeled them, cut them into small pieces, and put them in a glass bowl, then she took a toothpick, stuck it in a piece of apple, and handed it to Mr. Gu: "Grandpa, you can eat some fruit." ”

Mr. Gu glanced at Qin Zhiai, and then at the apple pieces in the bowl, but didn't take it, but raised his chin at the bedside table on the side: "Let's put it there first." ”

Qin Zhi loves to do so.

There was silence in the ward again, but not long after this time, Zhang's mother came over with breakfast.

Zhang's mother kept Qin Zhiai for breakfast before leaving, Qin Zhiai made an excuse and left.

After Mother Zhang sent Qin Zhiai back, she helped Mr. Gu arrange breakfast.

The breakfast was brought from home, which was extraordinarily rich, but Mr. Gu seemed to have no appetite, pointed to a bowl of apple pieces on the table next to him, and motioned for Mama Zhang to hand it to him.

What fruits do you eat in the morning?

Zhang's mother wanted to persuade Mr. Gu to drink porridge, but Mr. Gu pulled his face, so Zhang's mother had to hand over the apple, and Mr. Gu took the fork, piece by piece, and ate it all.
