Chapter 175: Giving the Only One Milk Bottle to Grandma

The front camera of the mobile phone automatically recognized Ye Yanzhi’s face, unlocking the album, and all that appeared were photos of his granddaughter, Ann.

From the moment she was born, a rosy-cheeked little baby, to when she turned one month old and doubled in size, fair and chubby, crying, fussing, laughing, eating, sleeping—all captured in the pictures.

The album abruptly stopped at six months old, with no updates, until recently when new photos were finally added.

At three and a half years old, her features have almost proportionally enlarged with little change, but it’s evident that she has become excessively thin.

Although she has grown, she doesn’t have the same chubby cheeks as when she was just a few months old.

Fortunately, the Qin family has a conscience and knows how to nourish the little one.

In the subsequent photos, it’s visible to the naked eye that Ann becomes rounder and healthier with each passing day.

For the past three years, the Qin family has been continuously searching for Ann, and naturally, the Ye family has not given up either.

However, they were afraid of upsetting Old Madam Ye, so everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it and acted secretly on their own.

When the Qin family found Ann, the Ye family initially wanted to snatch her back.

However, they were afraid of Old Madam Ye’s unpredictable emotions and worried that it would sadden Ann.

After all, they are all her relatives, torn apart by conflicting desires.

After much consideration, the Ye family chose to pretend temporarily unaware of this news.

As the elevator reached the first floor, before the door automatically opened, Ye Yanzhi quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, put away his phone, and stepped out of the elevator.

The driver saw Ye Yanzhi coming out and immediately opened the back door, saying, "Ye Yanzhi, be careful."

Ye Yanzhi bent down and got into the car, instructing, "To the hospital."

The driver replied, "Yes, Sir."

The car steadily drove towards Yangkang Hospital.

Ye Yanzhi frowned and said, "Faster."

The driver promptly accelerated, "Yes, Sir!"

A sports car, a silver Maserati, brushed past their car.

The man with handsome features glanced at the rearview mirror.

He had a feeling that the car that just sped by looked a lot like his father’s car.

But he wasn’t entirely sure because his father was very averse to speeding.

If any of them received a speeding ticket, his father would definitely not show them a good face for a month.

The silver Maserati slowly stopped at the entrance of the Ye Corporation, and the man got out of the car, handing the car keys to the security guard at the entrance, who then parked the car in the parking lot.

After taking a few steps, the man turned back and asked, "Did my dad just leave?"

The security guard nodded and replied, "Yes, Third Master."

He paused in surprise and asked, "Where did he go in such a hurry?"

"It seems like he went towards the hospital," the security guard replied, not entirely sure, but he overheard Ye Yanzhi instructing the driver

The man furrowed his brows, his expression grave.

Could something have happened at the hospital?

When Qin Sui’an woke up, it was already just past noon.

As she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful and dignified face.

Her round eyes blinked twice as if slowly returning from a dream to reality.

She curved her lips and softly called out, "Grandma!" in a sweet and tender voice.

Old Madam Ye’s eyes were filled with tenderness as he bent down, gently touching her cute little nose with his own, "Ann, had enough sleep?"

"Yes!" Qin Sui’an moved her little hand, remembering that she was still holding her mother’s hand.

She immediately looked happily towards the person on the hospital bed and said, "Mommy, Ann is awake!"

The unconscious person didn’t respond to the little one at all.

Qin Sui’an didn’t feel sad and instead squeezed her mother’s hand.

Her attention shifted to the other hand that was still connected to an IV drip, "Grandma, will Mommy have to keep getting injections?"

Old Madam Ye also looked at that hand.

Thin needles were inserted into the frail back of the hand, which already had multiple needle marks accumulated over the years.

Her throat felt dry, and after a while, she sighed softly, "Once your mommy wakes up, she won’t need injections anymore."

Qin Sui’an nodded earnestly, looking at her mother with a serious expression. "Mom, please wake up quickly. Getting an injection is very painful."

Old Madam Ye gently rubbed her head.

Someone lightly knocked on the door of the room, and Lucy cautiously opened a small gap, inquiring, "Old Madam, should we have lunch in the living room or the dining room?"

Upon hearing the word "eat", Qin Sui’an’s little tummy immediately reacted, growling twice.

Old Madam Ye lowered her gaze and smiled softly at Ann in her arms.

"Is Ann hungry?"

"Yes."

Qin Sui’an thought about the piggy backpack she carried all the way.

"Grandma, there’s food in Ann’s backpack."

"Then let’s eat together."

Old Madam Ye responded, following her words, and looked at Lucy.

"We’ll have it in the living room."

Lucy nodded. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"All right, Old Madam."

The door of the room closed again, and Lucy began to prepare, arranging the lunch on the table in the living room.

Old Madam Ye and Ann stayed in the room for a while before walking out together.

The living room was completely filled with the aroma of a delicious lunch, and the scent of disinfectant was no longer noticeable.

Qin Sui’an’s little tummy growled even more joyfully.

Old Madam Ye placed her on the sofa and moved the table closer, making it more convenient for her to enjoy the lunch.

Qin Sui’an stared eagerly at the food on the table, occasionally swallowing saliva.

She brought the piggy backpack over and rummaged through it.

Old Madam Ye helped her carry the backpack and then saw her take out milk, bread, biscuits, and more from it.

Qin Sui’an placed everything edible and drinkable from the backpack on the table, tilting her little face-up and sparkling with round eyes.

"Grandma, let’s eat together."

Old Madam Ye chuckled.

"All right, let’s eat together."

Qin Sui’an first picked up the bottle filled with milk, holding it with both hands, as if hesitating about something.

After a while, she handed the bottle to Grandma.

"Grandma, have some."

Old Madam Ye looked at her in surprise, then glanced at the bottle.

Ann had clearly hesitated, reluctant to give away the only bottle of milk she had.

Seeing that Grandma didn’t immediately take it, Qin Sui’an lowered her little head slightly and explained softly, "Ann’s bottle doesn’t have an adult version, so there’s very little milk. If Grandma doesn’t have enough, Ann will bring a bigger bottle for Grandma next time!"

Old Madam Ye’s surprise expression appeared again.

It turned out that Ann wasn’t hesitating or unwilling to give away the milk.

She thought the bottle was too small, too little for an adult like Grandma to drink.

Her heart softened suddenly, and tears welled up in Old Madam Ye’s eyes.

She raised her lips and said gently, "I don’t drink milk, Ann, you have it."

She gently pushed the bottle back into Ann’s arms.

Qin Sui’an looked at her in astonishment, blinking her round eyes.

"Grandma, don’t you like milk? It’s really delicious!"

"I don’t like it." Old Madam Ye shook her head.
