Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Counterattack (Part 4)
Ruan Jiaojiao has been in a coma for a day. Except for a few brothers who are far away and couldn’t make it, all the other uncles, aunts, and brothers have rushed over.
Now that they see Ruan Jiaojiao has woken up, they are anxiously gathered around her bed to watch her.
"Mom..." Ruan Jiaojiao called out in a hoarse voice and saw many familiar faces around her bed. Her eyes reddened, and she immediately thought of the moments before she fell unconscious.
At that time, she really believed she was going to die.
Being able to wake up again, she was filled with fear and dread.
"Sweetie, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Should we call a doctor?" Ruan Jianguo, who was initially talking with Shu Lang and the others, immediately leaned in when he saw Ruan Jiaojiao wake up.
Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head, only reaching out to tightly grasp the large hand of the Ruanlin Family beside her.
In a small voice, filled with infinite grievance: "Grandma, grandma, Jiaojiao misses you."
When she lost consciousness, Ruan Jiaojiao was really afraid of dying, afraid of death, and even more afraid she would never see the Ruanlin Family again.
Now that she saw the person closest to her, tears instantly flowed uncontrollably.
Just those few words almost made the Ruanlin Family’s heart ache to death.
When she arrived at the hospital, Ruan Jiaojiao had already been pushed into the emergency room. At that time, Shu Jiao kept repeating that Ruan Jiaojiao was constantly pleading with them to save her.
God knows what she felt when she heard those words; at that moment, her heart was almost breaking from pain.
Now hearing Ruan Jiaojiao speak like this, she couldn’t help but hug her tightly, muttering angrily: "My little Jiaojiao, don’t be scared. Grandma is here, and if anyone dares to bully our little darling, I’ll be the first not to let them get away with it! I’ll tear them apart!!"
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded while choking on tears. Though the Ruanlin Family had been away from Xiahe Village for many years, their speech was still somewhat rough, but listening to it gave Ruan Jiaojiao the greatest sense of security.
The grandmother and granddaughter embraced, so close that no one could separate them.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s emotions were not very stable. Although it couldn’t be concluded yet whether she had heart problems, her emotions should not be too agitated. Shu Jiao kept advising gently from the side.
Only after Ruan Jiaojiao gradually calmed down did she turn her gaze to the others.
But now she needed rest, so the Ruanlin Family only allowed everyone to stay for a few minutes before sending them all out, leaving only Xiu Xi and the others.
"Brother Xiu?" From the moment she woke up, Xiu Xi hadn’t spoken. Ruan Jiaojiao reached out and tugged at his hand.
Xiu Xi looked up at her, his gaze calm, and he smiled at her: "Do you want to go home?"
Ruan Jiaojiao indeed didn’t want to stay in the hospital, so she nodded.
Xiu Xi bent over the side of her hospital bed. Nearby, Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family hesitated slightly. Although this hospital was associated with the Yuan Family, given Ruan Jiaojiao’s current state, staying in the hospital was better.
Xiu Xi lowered his eyelids, not letting them see his emotions, and simply said: "She doesn’t have any illness; I’m taking her home."
This was the first sentence Xiu Xi said since Ruan Jiaojiao entered the emergency room. Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family hesitated, and then their hearts sank even further.
Because Xiu Xi’s words were too clear: Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t sick; this series of reactions was all caused by those two old ladies of the Yuan Family.
For a moment, Shu Jiao’s thoughts raced. After a few seconds, she stepped forward and helped Ruan Jiaojiao onto Xiu Xi’s shoulder, saying, "Then let’s go home."
Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to be discharged, but the attending physician disagreed, unable to resist the family’s insistence.
On the way back, in the silent car, Ruan Jiaojiao saw that everyone’s expressions were grave, and she asked Xiu Xi: "Brother Xiu, am I... beyond saving?"
