Unexpected Second Chance at Love [5]

CHAPTER 950: I'll tell her

The sound of a heart machine beeps as the faint smell of disinfectant lingers in the private hospital room. On the bed in the center of the room lay an elderly man with a nasal cannula to help deliver oxygen to his lungs.

Despite his unconscious state, one can feel the powerful aura around him.

A teenage boy was sitting at the side of the bed. His eyes brimmed with redness, but he did not care if the doctors or nurses saw him.

His attention was glued onto the elderly man with both hands clasped around the person's left hand. Suddenly, the tightly shut eyes of the patient slowly open. He stares at the white ceiling before his eyes gradually move to his left.

"Jingxu..."

Ji Jingxu's red eyes tremble with thousands of emotions. "Grandfather!"

He abruptly stood up from his seat without letting go of Grandfather Ji's hand. At the same time, he made sure not to cause any harm to the old man.

"How are you feeling? Do you know who I am? Can you see me? Are you thirsty? Do you feel pain anywhere?"

He blurted question after question before realizing something. He lets go of his grandfather's hand and darts out the door after giving a few words.

"Wait right there. Let me go get the doctor."

Grandfather Ji stares blankly at the door. His grandson is undoubtedly baffled. He was asked so many questions all at once but could not answer.

He sighs upon remembering the panicked look on his grandson's face. Undoubtedly, what happened to him gave Ji Jingxu quite the scare.

When Ji Jingxu comes back, he will reassure the boy that everything is fine.

Just as he thought this, the frantic running of people outside his room could be heard.

He couldn't help but let out another sigh.

"I forgot he was here too."

"Ji Huan!"

Doctor Dong burst inside the room with his forehead slightly covered in beads of sweat. Behind him was Ji Jingxu and two nurses.

"Grandfather, I brought Doctor Dong! Tell him if you feel pain anywhere. Hurry."

Ji Jingxu squeezed past the three people to get to his grandfather's side. He stares intently at the old man while trying to catch his breath.

However, he is met with silence; his lips tremble, and he looks at Doctor Dong.

"Doctor... what's wrong with him? Why isn't he responding?"

Doctor Dong doesn't answer but checks on his old friend after signaling for a nurse to move Ji Jingxu away from the bed.

Once he finished his check-up on Grandfather Ji, he was able to sigh in relief.

"His heart is back to normal, and his breathing is stable."

He looks at the patient lying on the hospital bed, and he wants to smack the old man for not listening to his warnings.

Yet, taking a deep breath, he calms himself and calls to Ji Jingxu.

"Your grandfather is fine now. He just gained consciousness, so give him time before he answers you."

Ji Jingxu would be lying if he said he wasn't scared. After witnessing his grandfather suddenly cough up blood and then fainting, he felt like the whole world had come crumbling down.

He can't even imagine what would happen if something were to happen to the old man again.

However, after hearing Doctor Dong's reassuring words, he felt the knot in his chest slightly loosen.
