I Give Half of My Life to You

Chapter 15

15: Gege Went to the Hospital

The sky outside was gloomy, as if a storm was coming. Everyone in the mansion became nervous as Lin Miao continued to accompany the Young Master in his room.

The Young Master's father returned in the afternoon to see the Young Master. "How did he get chickenpox? Wasn't he vaccinated for it?" He asked the doctor.

The grandma was a bit aggravated, "Is this how a father acts?"

The doctor awkwardly coughed. "The Young Master is allergic to Neomycin so he wasn't able to get the chickenpox nor the flu shots."

Awkwardness also spilled out of the father's face. "Oh, I forgot about that. What should we do now?"

"It will be fine as long as no complexions happen." The doctor's brows furrowed.

The father looked at his son. Unable to assure himself, he decided to send the Young Master to the hospital.

The Young Master frowned. "I don't want to go, it's not like that we don't have the stuff at home."

"Hush," The Young Master's father patted his head, "There's more equipment at the hospital, the caregivers are more professional too."

Lin Miao listened aside. Only the adults were talking, so she didn't have an opportunity to step into the conversation.

A car soon came to pick up the Young Master.

Lin Miao wanted to follow in the car but was halted by the housekeeper. "They're quite busy over there, you stay at home to wait for the Young Master to return."

Lin Miao felt sourness up her nose. She didn't want to wait alone at home.

Her father also took her younger brother in town when he was sick and told her to wait at home, but they never came back.

She wanted to follow along so she can at least know the Young Master's condition.

But the car quickly left.

The grandma, the Young Master's father, and the doctor all left.

The housekeeper soon assigned people to deliver her dinner to her room. Lin Miao wasn't hungry; she couldn't swallow a single bite of her delicious meal.

The grandma and the Young Master's father came back at eight in the night.

Lin Miao rushed downstairs, too worried to be scared. "When can Gege come back?"

The grandma patted her head. "Very very soon, Shuishui should go to sleep soon."

The housekeeper led Lin Miao upstairs, leaving the two adults by themselves in the living room.

She heard grandma's furious voice while heading upstairs, "Filming again, still thinking about filming when her son's hospitalized? Why did she choose to get married if she loves acting so much?"

"She's rushing back. The film team is deep in the mountains, she can't do anything when it's like that. Mom, don't say so much." The Young Master's father said tiredly.

Back in her room, Lin Miao asked the housekeeper, "Shushu, which hospital is Gege at?"

(Note: Shushu refers to Shūshū in Pinyin and 叔叔 in chinese, it means "uncle" and is the preferred name to call middle-aged or younger adults outside of one's family.)

The housekeeper knelt down. "At the best hospital. You should sleep now."

Lin Miao nodded. She went to brush her teeth and wash her face and then lied on her bed. She didn't change into her pajamas but instead took her backpack out. She packed it with her pencils, notebooks, and books. She also took out the five hundred yuan her mother gave her.
