Just when she tried to relax her phone vibrated, she refused to pick up the call. It wasn't until she got a text that she knew what was making her uncomfortable.
The doctor texted her telling her that her grandma was in the hospital and that it would be really nice and helpful if she was there.
Ai Meng stood up hurriedly and left the class, when the class saw her they were stupefied for a moment because they had never seen an expression on her face. When Fang Haoyu saw her leaving the class in a hurry, he felt like going after her but then if she wanted something she'd ask him so no way is he following her, but he still couldn't help but get worried as his eyes travelled to the door. Ai Meng first went to the principal's office.
Sir it's an emergency Ai Meng begged with her slightly red eyes and swollen lips (which she had been biting while walking to the office). The principal paid her no mind. After thinking for a while, she left in a hurry, she ran to the class and then bowed in apology and then she rushed to Fang Haoyu, she pulled his arms making him stand straight she pulled him outside as she endlessly bowed to her teacher for disrupting the class. Immediately they got outside.
Please call your chauffeur, make him come and make an excuse, I need to get out of here now. Ai Meng said as she tried holding the tears that were threatening to well up in her eyes.
But, are you okay? Fang Haoyu said as he took his phone out of his pocket.
Hmm Ai Meng hummed
Hello Uncle Zhou I need a favor, can you come pick me and Ai Ai now and I need you to be thinking of an excuse that can be considered an emergency Fang Haoyu said.
Young master what happened? Su Zhou asked
Don't ask too much just focus on coming here thank you Fang Haoyu said
So, what's going on Fang Haoyu asked. Ai Meng shook her head as she bit her lips softly.
What? Burning the bridge after crossing the river Fang Haoyu said unhappily. Ai Meng ignored him since she was already used to him being a chatterbox.
Ai Meng and Fang Haoyu report to the principal's office The principal said through the speakers.
Ai Meng immediately started walking fast while Fang Haoyu tried to catch up with her. Immediately they got to the office they saw Su Zhou whom Ai Meng looked at with a grateful gaze.
You can leave now the principal said with a stern face.
Thank you sir Fang Haoyu said with a polite smile, he only felt the wind against his face and then he realized that Ai Meng was gone.
He ran outside and tried catching up with her but by the time, he realized that he couldn't even find her shadow not to talk of her body.
Why do I always have to catch up with her? Fang Haoyu thought with a bitter smile, first of all he had to catch up with her in studying, now he has to run the next time what will it be? He thought as he shook his head unhappily.
Ai Meng booked a taxi which she told to speed up. Immediately she got to the hospital, she hurriedly walked to the doctors office as the tears in her eyes dropped.
She knocked on the door after fixing her appearance.
Come in Doctor Shin said
Oh Ai Meng you're here he added
How's she? Ai Meng asked without beating around the bush
Sit down and calm down. Would you like some water? Doctor Shin asked
I'm fine what's happened to her, I thought you said if she's not stressed then she'll only have to visit the hospital in her last week Ai Meng asked with a soft and trembling voice.
Well...…I called you to ask if you want to spend the last ten days with her Doctor Shin broke the news
Last ten days? What do you mean? Three months ago, you said she had a year to live but what's this now? Ai Meng asked
Doctor Shin sighed and opened the door telling her to follow him.
Let's go visit her Doctor Shin said
Okay Ai Meng nodded like a chick pecking rice
Adorable Doctor Shin thought with a gentle smile.
Meng Meng you're here? Why aren't you in school? Grandma Wen asked as she coughed in between sentences
Grandma Ai Meng cried as she threw herself in her grandma's arms
You promised you wouldn't leave me, you promised to be by my side till I get married but you're already leaving me, you're being unfair. Who would reward me with smiles when I bring awards, who will I nag when you're not around, who will be willing to put up with my disobedience. Grandmaaaa Ai Meng said in a rush.
Meng Meng don't cry, don't cry. Why don't you spend the remaining days with me we'll go out on dates, we'll even go shopping you won't feel lonely stop crying, you'll always be my little girl okay? Grandma Wen smiled slightly as she patted Ai Meng's back gently
Grandma Ai Meng called as she held unto her grandma's clothe tightly.
After that little episode, Ai Meng hurried home to get some daily necessities and transferred her grandma to a VIP room.
You want to take her to a VIP room? can you afford it Doctor Shin asked
I think so Even if I can't keep it up for a year, ten days shouldn't be a problem Ai Meng said
Doctor Shin looked at her surprised. Thinking that he did not believe her she hurriedly transferred the money.
I'll get going when I come back then we'll talk more on her health Ai Meng hurried down the hallway and then the stairs, she took a taxi again when she got home, she hurriedly picked clothes for the next 10 days. She even took makeups so she could make her grandma look good. She contacted a photographer who'll take a picture of her grandma while the rest will be taken with her phone.
She booked a cab and left, few minutes after leaving Fang Haoyu came and found her house deserted. He frowned
Did she run away or what? Fang Haoyu asked no one in particular.
Five days later Fang Haoyu kept feeling restless, he hadn't seen Ai Meng in a long time he was wondering how she was feeling, if she still felt sad he took his phone but then he realized that he didn't even have her phone number after sighing, he turned and tossed on the bed and then gave up.
When on Monday came, he went to school in hope that she'll be in school but still couldn't find her. He kept looking at the empty seat imagining she was there.
On the twelfth day of her absence, he finally couldn't take it anymore.
Xue Song go find out where she's hiding Fang Haoyu said through gritted teeth
I'm not your personal, p…p…... Xue Song's words got stuck in his throat due to the glare Fang Haoyu was shooting at him.
Yes, young master Fang Xue Song said.
After checking for day and nights Xue Song furrowed his brows before giving Fang Haoyu a call.
What is it? It's already late in the night Fang Haoyu said.
She.... Xue Song gulped in apprehension
She lost her grandma three days ago due to cancer and.... And Xue song gulped loudly.
And what? Fang Haoyu asked as his voice turned slightly cold without his knowledge
She has been sleeping in the cemetery for the past three days, she recently caught a fever and as we speak, she's still
there under the rain. She hasn't been eating much. From the info I've gathered she did not cry on the day of the funeral nor did she hold any expression on her face. Seems like this grandma means a lot to her...…. Xue Song continued blabbing but Fang Haoyu got up and hurriedly picked two sweaters, wore one and took one along. He went downstairs and noticed Su Zhou there
young master where are you in a rush to? Su Zhou asked
Ai Ai she's in the cemetery Fang Haoyu said as he took an umbrella from the kitchen and then walked out of his house.
Cemetery?, I'll come along. I'll drive and you'll hold her Su Zhou said
Okay Fang Haoyu nodded indifferently and Su Zhou got up too he walked out with Fang Haoyu to the car. As though he remembered something, Fang Haoyu walked back inside and took a blanket.
On the way there, Fang Haoyu kept tapping his fingers on his knees impatiently. Immediately they got there, he took the umbrella and walked in without any sense of direction.
He kept searching until he found her on the top of her grandma's stone.
Ai Ai Fang Haoyu called gently but got no response. When he touched her hand, she did not withdraw it like usual. He turned her face to his direction that was when he realized that she was unconscious. He carried her horizontally to the car. He wrapped her with the blanket and kept her hands warm. To him, it was still a mystery why every other place of her body was hot but her palm and feet were as cold as ice.
Uncle Zhou, please drive faster. If possible, take us to the hospital Fang Haoyu said as he felt himself panic but he still tried to remain clear headed.
Hmm Su Zhou nodded and drove faster.
Immediately they got there, he requested for their family doctor and they immediately brought her to a ward.
Grandma Ai Meng whispered as her voice broke.
It's okay, don't cry. Fang Haoyu said as he tried pacifying the unconscious Ai Meng.
When the doctor came he fixed a drip on her and did the necessary.
Fang Haoyu paced back and forth wondering when she'd wake up.
Young master she'll definitely awaken don't worry Su Zhou said
Hmm I knew that Fang Haoyu said nodding his head.
Fang Haoyu pulled an all-nighter for her, watching her every minute, every second.
Ai Meng finally woke up in the afternoon of the next day feeling a slight headache, she sat up.
