Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 751 - 629: Uncle Woke Up, Joyful! (Second Update)
The people outside were startled, and Jimo Shanshan quickly said in a low voice, "Lower your voice, take her to the ward, I’ll check her."
Understanding her signal, Tong Aino carried Ruan An Yang into the nearby ward.
Meanwhile, the people inside the ward didn’t notice what was happening outside, as everyone was gathered around Danton, chatting.
Tong Airui chuckled, "Get better soon, okay? Ziyan and Sangyu are waiting for you to take them out to play."
Danton blinked heavily.
Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "Didn’t Shanshan say we shouldn’t have so many people in here? How did all of you manage to come in?"
"The two kids were too impatient. We all came in together to say what we needed, then we’ll let Danton rest properly."
Sangyu clutched at the collar of her anti-bacterial gown, tilted her head, and looked at her mom, "Mama, you have to be happy!"
"Hmm, your uncle woke up, happy!" Ziyan nodded with exaggerated emphasis.
"Bad Danton!" Sangyu pouted and shot Danton a disgruntled look, "All you do is sleep! Even made us cry!"
Ziyan snorted, "So disobedient!"
Danton squeezed out a faintly apologetic smile, "Wrong... my bad!"
"Hee hee..." Sangyu softly touched her uncle’s left hand.
Danton didn’t respond, and Maizekai froze slightly in confusion. Without a word, he pinched the back of Danton’s hand, but there was still no reaction!
Maizekai furrowed his brow faintly, moved to the foot of the bed, and picked up Danton’s left foot. Earlier, he’d only checked the right side—he had been careless. There was no response on the left side!
Tong Airui glanced at him, and Maizekai gently shook his head. "Let Danton rest for now; all of you should leave."
Tong Airui caught on and led everyone out the door.
Back in the room, Yi Luowa whispered, "Did Old Seven find something wrong?"
"Just wait a bit; he’ll tell us after he’s finished checking." Tong Airui raised a hand to ruffle her hair, "No matter what, Danton survived, and that’s good news. Whatever Old Seven tells us later, we’ll have to accept it."
Yi Luowa sniffled, "I know. After everything we’ve been through, the fact that he’s alive is already a blessing. I can accept anything as long as he’s still here."
Tong Airui pressed his lips into a firm line; it would be much easier if his wife truly thought that way.
Yi Luowa leaned weakly against his chest. "I want to stay here and keep Danton company, but I’m worried that you’d be anxious about me."
"Worrying about you is a small matter; the key issue is that Mom won’t let you stay here... How about this? I’ll talk with Old Seven and see if we can transfer Danton to another hospital."
"Transfer where?" Yi Luowa shot him a playful pout. "I bet you want to transfer Danton to Xiawu. Sure, I’d get to see him every day, but what about my mom? Leave her in Xiawu? How could you even come up with that idea!"
"I’m just thinking about you." Tong Airui laughed. "Go lie down for a bit; I’ll check where our little rascals have wandered off to."
"Mama, Auntie is sick!" Sangyu ran into the room.
"Which auntie? An Yang, right?" Yi Luowa quickly supported her daughter. "You’re still too wobbly when walking; no running! What if you fall?"
Sangyu pouted, "I haven’t fallen yet!"
"Already learning to talk back at such a young age!" Yi Luowa held her little hand and led her to the door. "An Yang isn’t your auntie; you should call her ’Aunt.’"
Sangyu hesitated before reluctantly saying, "Mm."
Yi Luowa glanced down at her and said, "Are you upset that Mommy commented on you?"
"What does ’upset’ mean?" Sangyu asked, her pout still intact.
Tong Airui chuckled helplessly. This little one really wasn’t easy to deal with.
"Let’s have a proper talk later!" Yi Luowa snorted and took her daughter out the door.
When they entered the adjacent room, Yi Luowa finally understood after hearing Jimo Shanshan explain—Ruan An Yang had fainted again due to exhaustion.
Seeing the bruise on Ruan An Yang’s forehead, Yi Luowa touched her hand with concern. "Danton is awake now. This time, you must rest properly. You’ve hurt yourself like this; if your parents saw it, they’d be heartbroken."
Ruan An Yang pouted. "I won’t let them see me. ’Seventh Sister-in-law’ said that once I finish the IV drip, I’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry."
"Grandpa called Grandpa." Sangyu pursed her lips and looked at Ruan An Yang. "That’s your Dad Grandpa!"
Ruan An Yang burst into laughter. "Haha, you’re so funny! Why do you talk so much?"
Sangyu propped up her cheeks, grinning sweetly at her. "Hee hee... Am I adorable?"
"Adorable!"
"Then, will you buy me candy?"
"Haha... Sure! I’ll buy you some later!" Ruan An Yang smiled and glanced at the medication dripping into her IV. "Seventh Sister-in-law, can you speed this up for me? I need to go buy candy for Sangyu."
"An Yang, don’t listen to her. We don’t give her candy to eat. Eating too much candy is bad for her teeth." Yi Luowa sat by the bed and smiled as she asked Ruan An Yang, "An Yang, are you entering high school soon?"
"Mm, at the middle school division on the island."
"Which university do you want to apply to?"
"I want to go to a military academy. Tingting suggested the Imperial Capital Military Academy, but other than being physically strong, I’m not good at anything else. I’m worried I won’t get in." Ruan An Yang replied shyly with a laugh.
Yi Luowa laughed as she asked, "Are you also someone who doesn’t like studying, like me?"
"Ah! You don’t like studying either?"
Yi Luowa nodded with a smile. "When I was your age, I only knew how to play. Now I regret it. An Yang, while you’re still young, focus on studying."
Ruan An Yang earnestly nodded. "Mm, I’ll study hard."
Jimo Shanshan adjusted the drip’s speed. "Why apply to a military academy? It’s so exhausting, and you can’t come home often. Look at our Eighth Brother—his wife just had a baby, not even a month old, and he already had to leave."
Ruan An Yang scratched her head in hesitation.
Yi Luowa sighed. "True. Last night, I called Youyou. Youyou didn’t cry on the phone, but her mood wasn’t great either. I promised to stay with her, but here I am instead."
Jimo Shanshan patted her shoulder. "Youyou can understand. Once we return, you can keep her company."
"Mm."
Just as they were chatting, Shui Hui’s voice came from outside. Ruan An Yang bolted upright, reaching for her IV needle to remove it.
Yi Luowa quickly pressed her hand down. "Everyone already knows, so there’s no need to avoid looking. Getting the injections will make you recover faster. You don’t want to see Danton?"
"I do!" Ruan An Yang’s bright eyes suddenly dimmed. "But... can I see him?"
Yi Luowa smiled. "Why not? You saved his life. You can see him whenever you want. However, you need to recover first; otherwise, what will happen if you faint again?"
"Hee hee... I’m fine now! I can see Handsome Brother! Yi Luowa, Handsome Brother is so good-looking! I love watching him, and I love watching you too—you’re gorgeous!"
"You’re back to your old antics again!" Shui Hui strode in and scolded, "You’ve already fallen, yet you’re still obsessing over pretty things!"
"Mom, I’m fine. I just wasn’t steady." Ruan An Yang grinned and looked at her mom.
Yi Luowa quickly stood up. "Auntie, I’m sorry, we didn’t take care of An Yang properly..."
"It’s not your fault; I know my own child’s temperament." Shui Hui smiled helplessly. "I heard Danton woke up. That’s wonderful news! Now that he’s awake, this girl can stop worrying so much."
Yi Luowa, burdened with her own concerns, forced a faint smile. Her brother’s situation was still uncertain.
Shui Hui laughed and said, "You all go rest. I’ll keep an eye on An Yang."
"That sounds good—I’ll go check on Danton." Yi Luowa led her daughter and Jimo Shanshan out the door.
As soon as they stepped out, they saw Maizekai conversing with Tong Airui.
Yi Luowa walked over quickly. "Old Seven, what’s the diagnosis?"
"The blood clot lingered in his brain for too long, compressing a nerve, and now he’s temporarily lost sensation on the left side of his body."
Yi Luowa’s head buzzed, but she forced herself to stay calm for Tong Airui’s sake. "Is there hope for recovery?"
"Yes! I’ll adjust his medication and combine it with acupuncture and physical therapy—it should recover fairly quickly." Maizekai didn’t dare make light of the situation and risk alarming his fourth sister-in-law.
Yi Luowa let out a long breath of relief. "Thank you for your help."
"Fourth Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll go revise the prescription now." Maizekai replied, pulling Jimo Shanshan along to the doctor’s office.
Yi Luowa noticed how quickly he left and suspiciously turned to Tong Airui. "Why is he in such a rush? Is there something he’s hiding from me?"
"What would he be hiding from you? He’s just eager to adjust the prescription for Danton." Tong Airui glanced toward Ruan An Yang’s room. "An Yang—she’s all right, isn’t she?"
Yi Luowa sighed. "Her forehead is bruised; Aunt Shui Hui must be heartbroken."
Tong Airui chuckled and guided her into the room. "Aunt Shui Hui isn’t an ordinary woman; you don’t need to worry about her."
Yi Luowa gave him a confused look. "Not ordinary—as in a second-rate woman?"
"Aunt Shui Hui’s background isn’t just that of being the old clan leader’s granddaughter; she used to be an assassin. Back in the day, Uncle Ruan was involved in the underworld, and they became enemies. Aunt Shui Hui chased him relentlessly. Later, they developed feelings for each other and settled down together."
Yi Luowa blinked in surprise. "I never would’ve guessed."
Tong Airui shook his head helplessly. "You didn’t notice the air of defiance that they all seem to carry?"
Yi Luowa narrowed her eyes slightly. "Now that you mention it, they kind of do."
