Chapter 466: Jiang Chenghao Seems to Have Recovered

~7 min read 1,289 words

Jiang Chenghao suddenly lifted his eyes, staring at Liu Xin'ai without blinking.

Jiang Baobao and Old Madam Jiang exchanged a subconscious glance; seeing him being obedient, they both felt much more relaxed.

Jiang Chenghao looked at Liu Xin'ai, and sure enough, he did not say any more words of refusal.

Liu Xin'ai tentatively placed the pill from her hand into his, and he did not show the slightest resistance.

"Cheng Hao..."

Liu Xin'ai smiled and held his hand, persuading him in a gentle tone: "Be good, take your medicine, okay? As long as you are obedient, next time I come to see you, I can bring you candy..."

Jiang Chenghao subconsciously nodded along with Liu Xin'ai's words.

But he did not move.

"Cheng Hao? Put the pill in your mouth..."

Liu Xin'ai smiled and prompted him, taking the water from Old Madam Jiang's hand at the side.

But unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Chenghao stuffed the pill directly into his mouth and swallowed it without a moment's hesitation!

"Xinaijie, Uncle ate it!"

Jiang Baobao's expression instantly became somewhat nervous and excited, fearing that in the next second, he would have some special reaction because of the medicine.

Liu Xin'ai also looked at Jiang Chenghao with a nervous expression.

But unexpectedly, after he swallowed the pill, he looked straight over and muttered softly: "Mm... I... I am a good child who listens... Xin'ai told me to take medicine... so I take it..."

Once these words were spoken, the three people around were all stunned on the spot, looking at him in disbelief.

"Cheng Hao... you..."

Liu Xin'ai's voice was trembling, and even her fingertips were shaking unconsciously.

"Uncle, you..."

Jiang Baobao's tone was equally incredulous; she looked at Jiang Chenghao, then looked at Liu Xin'ai, her face full of disbelief.

Was the effect of that pill so fast?

Uncle had just swallowed it, and it took effect so quickly?

"Cheng Hao!"

Old Madam Jiang had also just come to her senses; she immediately grabbed Jiang Chenghao's hand with an excited expression and asked incessantly: "What did you just say? Have you recovered? You recognize Xin'ai? Then do you recognize me?"

She looked excited, and as she spoke, even her eye rims could not help but turn slightly red.

"Grandma, calm down first..." Jiang Baobao was afraid her voice was too loud and hurriedly tried to dissuade her from the side.

Yet her peripheral vision caught Liu Xin'ai also grabbing Jiang Chenghao's hand with an excited expression.

"Cheng Hao... you... what did you call me just now? Can you call me that again?"

"Xin'ai..."

Jiang Chenghao responded obediently and called her name again.

After saying it, he could not help but frown.

"Xin'ai... who is that..."

His expression looked somewhat puzzled; he seemed very familiar with the name in his mouth, yet completely unaware of it.

Liu Xin'ai's eyes, which had been filled with hope, instantly dimmed.

"Cheng Hao... I am Xin'ai, look at me..."

She spoke cautiously, tears already swirling in her eye rims.

Hearing this, Jiang Chenghao earnestly lifted his eyes to look at her, but gently shook his head.

"I... I know you! You are... the pretty sister..."

He said to Liu Xin'ai.

It was as if just a moment ago, there had been a brief instant where he treated "pretty sister" and "Xin'ai" as the same person.

"Xinaijie, is Uncle like this because of the medicine just now..."

Jiang Baobao tried hard to maintain her composure and patted Liu Xin'ai's shoulder comfortingly.

Liu Xin'ai finally came to her senses, shook her head gently, and explained: "It's not because of the medicine just now; the effect couldn't be that fast. I suspect... Cheng Hao has been recovering on his own during this time, so he remembered some fragmented things from before, which is not impossible. Now, with the help of the medicine, perhaps it will speed up his recovery!"

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Old Madam Jiang with a solemn expression, urging: "Auntie, during this time, please observe closely what kind of behavior Cheng Hao has. If there is any abnormality, you can contact Baobao in time and have her call me. I will definitely do my best to help Cheng Hao recover to how he was before!"

"Okay... okay..."

Old Madam Jiang nodded repeatedly with teary eyes; thinking of Jiang Chenghao calling out Liu Xin'ai's name just now, she could not help but want to cry tears of joy.

The few of them talked for a while longer, and after Jiang Baobao gave some instructions, she pulled Liu Xin'ai away.

In order not to be discovered by the Lu Family, they would not stay too long each time they came.

Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai returned the way they came and went back to where the car was parked.

Following her usual habit, Jiang Baobao dropped Liu Xin'ai off at an intersection convenient for hailing a taxi.

The two agreed to keep in touch at any time, and then she left.

Liu Xin'ai watched Jiang Baobao drive away, hailed a taxi, and had it take her back to the Hospital.

But unexpectedly, just as she got out of the car, she heard her phone ring.

Seeing it was the number from home, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly answered it.

As soon as the call connected, she heard the person on the other end say in a hurried tone: "Eldest Miss, the Master suddenly fainted while handling official business in the study! He has already been sent to the Hospital and should be arriving in a moment!"

"What happened with him fainting?"

Liu Xin'ai was startled; without a second word, she turned and entered the stairwell, running toward her consulting room.

"I went to deliver coffee to the Master just now, but when I knocked on the door, no one answered, so I thought I'd go in and check. I didn't expect that the Master had fainted like that, slumped over the desk..."

The servant explained anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Liu Xin'ai asked for the situation clearly, ran back to her consulting room, changed into her white coat, and immediately ran downstairs again.

Not long after, an ambulance indeed came wailing as it drove in.

"Dad!"

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly ran over.

As soon as the ambulance door opened, she immediately followed and went straight into the emergency room with them.

One hour later—

Liu Tengnian was finally out of danger and was wheeled into a hospital room.

Exhausted, Liu Xin'ai silently poured a glass of water and placed it by the bedside, then sat down leaning against the edge of the bed.

Immediately after, she saw Liu Tengnian on the hospital bed slowly open his eyes.

"Dad, you're awake?"

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly stood up, looking at him with a face full of concern.

Liu Tengnian scanned the room with his eyes, quickly realizing where he was now.

"Sigh... it's just a minor ailment, why did you have to send me to the Hospital..."

He sighed and propped himself up, wanting to sit up.

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly helped him, saying with heartache, "How can it be a minor ailment? Your health..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

During the emergency treatment just now, although it was confirmed that her father's condition had not worsened and it was likely because he had been too exhausted lately that he fainted, but... dragging it out like this was never a solution...

Liu Xin'ai's expression was serious, her eyes filled with helplessness and frustration.

If she were more capable and could perform this surgery for her father herself... once he recovered his health, would everything be different?
