novelGrandma Met With Trouble
| ← Ch.0421 | Ch.0423 → |
"Grandma, Grandpa went to look for you already. Where did you go last night? Grandpa and I were worried sick..."
"Stop with your nonsense. Ask your grandpa to answer the phone quickly. I have an important thing to tell him."
"Haha!" Zhou Zhilei laughed and said, "Yeah, grandma, it is such a coincidence. I also have a very important thing to tell you. Your daughter Dou Dou is found. Grandpa is personally driving to pick her up right now."
Grandma's entire body froze, and she shouted in disbelief."What?"
Where did Dou Dou come from. Her Dou Dou was right here. She could even hear Yue Wanqing speaking with Ning Zhenguo outside right now.
"Grandma, didn't you hear me? Then okay, let me tell you one more time! We found your Dou Dou already. Yeah, just now, Grandma said that she also found Dou Dou. Grandma, the Dou Dou you found and the one that Grandpa found is not the same person. Tsk tsk. It is really such a pity. The Dou Dou that Grandpa found has an amulet. Grandma, how about the one that you found? What are we going to do then? Grandma found a fake good, haha."
Grandma was shaking from head to toe."What fake good? The Dou Dou that I found is the real Dou Dou. Where did that fake Dou Dou come out from? Where is Dou Dou's father? Where is Zhou Heng? I want to speak with him. I want to speak with him!"
Zhou Zhilei did not care about what Grandma was saying at all. She loudly cackled."Haha, Grandma, it is too late already. You are unable to talk to Grandpa. Grandpa is already on his way to receive Dou Dou. I guess that at this moment, they are both hugging one another as father and daughter are reunited... Grandma, let me tell you, that Yue Wanqing and Ning Qing can only spend the rest of their lives outside. Everything in the Zhou family would be both mine and that fake Dou Dou's. Your real Dou Dou would forever be unable to go back to the Zhou family, and your real Dou Dou would never be able to call you Mum ever again!"
Grandma's eyes widened, and her chest was panting vigorously. She tugged on the phone tightly and screamed out loud."Zhou Zhilei, you better shut up! My Dou Dou would definitely be able to go back to the Zhou family gloriously. My Dou Dou will definitely recognize me as her mother. Oh, I got it, all of this is your plot. It was your evil plotting... Zhou Zhilei, I will not let you off just like that. You better wait for me..."
Grandma hung up and placed the phone back in its original spot. No, she had to return back to the Zhou family home. She had to contact Dou Dou's father. She could not allow her Dou Dou to be out of the family anymore.
Zhou Zhilei?
Zhou Zhilei!
Such a traitor; she would not let her off easily!
Grandma used both of her hands to push the wheelchair towards the door. She was unable to move. She had a look and knew that the brakes were engaged. She shook her head, and her frail and elderly face was full of anxiety and chaos. She bent down her waist with much force and tried to reach the brakes."Dou Dou, my Dou Dou..."
She did not touch the brakes. Bang! Her entire body fell from the wheelchair onto the floor, and she fell with a loud thud.
Grandma lay down on the floor. Her lower body was numb. She did not feel any pain and tried hard to flip her body over. She climbed towards the door. She spent much effort to climb a step, but her line of vision got blurry, and fresh blood seeped out from her forehead, trickling down onto the floor.
Grandma still wanted to crawl, and her hand that was stained with blood scratched the floor, but finally, both of her eyes closed slowly.
"Dou Dou..."
Her world turned black.
....
Yue Wanqing and Ning Zhenguo heard the movement in the room. They were suspicious, so they ran in the direction of the door. Yue Wanqing knocked on the door. Knock knock! "Grandma, Grandma, what is wrong?"
There was no sound coming from the room.
"Wanqing, something is not right. Open the door quickly." Ning Zhenguo hurried her.
"Oh." Yue Wanqing nodded her head, and she tugged the handle of the door and opened the door of the room.
After having a clear look of the situation of the room: "Ah!" Yue Wanqing shouted, and she stood at the door of the room in shock.
Ning Zhenguo came forward quickly. He bent over and used his index finger to check Grandma's breathing."Wanqing, Grandma is still breathing. Call the ambulance over quickly."
...
Yue Wanqing stood before the doors of the emergency room. She looked at the red light that was lit up. Her face was covered in tears. She felt her chest go tight, and she was unable to catch her breath, as if the most important thing in her life was disappearing before her right now.
She hit her own chest as she regretted and blamed herself. She said, "I should not allow Grandma to be alone inside the room all by herself. I should have taken care of her... Now that Grandma is in trouble, it was all my fault..."
Ning Zhenguo hugged Yue Wanqing in his embrace. He comforted her as he said, "Wanqing, don't cry. The operation is still going on. Maybe Grandma is not so badly injured."
"No, it was me who harmed Grandma. It was all me..." Yue Wanqing shook her head.
At this moment, the sound of rushed footsteps came over, "Xiao Hui? What is wrong with Xiao Hui?"
Yue Wanqing lifted her head up. There was a group of people in the corridor of the hospital. There was an old grandpa dressed in a traditional Chinese garb leading the group. The old grandpa had a serious expression on his face. The director of the hospital was standing beside him. The director accompanied him carefully and explained, "Old Madam was involved in an accident. She probably fell down from her wheelchair, and her head hit the floor. Old Madam sustained extremely serious injuries on her head.. We are resuscitating her in the operating theatre right now, as for the results of the rescuitation..."
Yue Wanqing did not know anyone in the group, but they were Zhou Heng's extended family, and everyone was present.
"Mum, my mother..." At this moment, Kong Lan appeared behind Zhou Heng. Kong Lan's face was covered in tears, and she ran quickly to the doors of the operating theatre. She hit her chest as she cried out painfully."Mum, what is wrong with you now? It has been merely a night since we last saw you. How come you are injured?"
Zhou Zhilei went forward to hold Kong Lan's elbow. Mother and daughter were crying while hugging each other as she said, "Mum, don't cry anymore. I believe that Grandma is a lucky person and heavens will protect her. Grandma will definitely be fine."
Yue Wanqing knew that Grandma's family members had all rushed over. She wanted to go forward to speak, but at this moment, a few bodyguards rushed over and directly pushed her to the side of the wall. Thankfully, Ning Zhenguo stretched his hand out to hold onto her. If not, she would be injured.
"Wanqing, are you fine? What is wrong with these people? Why are they so rude?" Ning Zhenguo was unsatisfied.
Yue Wanqing quickly comforted him."Forget it, don't say anymore. They are also worried about Grandma. We made a mistake..."
Yue Wanqing and Ning Zhenguo were blocked into the corner. A group of people walked to the door of the operating theatre. There were bodyguards blocking the door. She could only look through the cracks to see that Grandpa speak with the director of the hospital. There was a middle aged man beside Grandpa. He was named Zhou Dao. He was Zhou Heng's adopted son, and Zhou Zhilei's father.
Zhou Dao noticed that Zhou Heng's anxious gaze was stopped on the red light outside the operating theatre. He turned his head quickly and said to a middle aged woman, "Dou Dou, since you are here, come and look at mum quickly. Call her Mum twice. In Mum's life, she wanted to hear your voice the most. Maybe after you speak, mum will be able to make it."
This middle aged woman was called Tong Li. She was overweight, and the clothes on her body were obviously new and very expensive, but when she put on these clothes on her body, her rolls were squeezed in an unflattering way, and it looked very clumsy.
The middle aged woman came forward quickly, She squeezed two teardrops and cried out loudly."Mum, mum, I am your Dou Dou. You are my mother. Now that I am here, you are lying inside the operating theatre. How can you be like this?"
Shouting was banned in the hospital. It was very quiet, and Tong Li's shouts directly reverberated throughout the three levels. Not only did the patients and doctors passing by looking over in her direction, even Zhou Heng had a frown on his face.
Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei noticed that Zhou Heng was not too happy. They came forward to hug Tong Li and say, "Dou Dou, I know that you are upset, but this is the hospital; you cry softly."
Zhou Zhilei agreed, and she silently stretched her hand out to flip over the red colour amulet on Dou Dou's beck and expose it in front of Zhou Heng. Her eyes were full of tears as she looked at Zhou Heng."Grandpa, don't blame Dou Dou for being too emotional. You've been separated for 40 years. Dou Dou could've grown up comfortably in your home, but she was only eight years old when she was sold. She married a farmer, and it was the environment that moulded her. She is also an innocent party..."
"That's right, Dad, Dou Dou has become like this. If Mum awakes, she might be extremely upset and hurt. All of this has to be blamed on the human trafficker who did this."
Zhou Heng listened on and slowly released the frown on his face. A few days ago, Director Shi from Sunshine Orphanage handed him documents regarding Dou Dou. He went to search according to the documents. He found this woman, Tong Li, very easily.
Tong Li had the amulet in her hands, and that meant that she was his daughter.
But he did not know why he did not have any feelings for this Tong Li in front of him. The blood relations between a father and daughter, he did not feel any of it with her.
He did not despise Tong Li's village background. It was not that he did not look down on her. Before he found her, he figured that she would have had a tough life and would have gone through many obstacles. She was his own daughter; how could he not feel bad?
But, he did not pity this Tong Li.
Talking about appearance, there was an image of eight year old Dou Dou in his head. Tong Li in front of him, other than her plump face, her features were quite delicate, looking a little bit like Dou Dou.
Zhou Heng looked at the amulet, and he had a benevolent expression on his face. He came forward and held Tong Li's hand."Dou Dou, Dad does not blame you. You do not have to be afraid."𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝙣oν𝙚𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
"Okay." Tong Li wiped the tears on her face. She admired this old man who was rich, powerful, and had status in society, and she nodded her head as she ducked away.
Her ducking away made Zhou Heng's expression become more gentle. He mistreated this daughter. He did not protect her well, and he allowed her to be outside and become old fashioned and clumsy like she was right now.
Kong Lan saw Zhou Heng's expression. There was a joyous expression on her face, and she hinted at Tong Li with an expression in her eyes.
Tong Li understood her command. She squeezed out a couple more tears and looked at Zhou Heng."Dad, didn't you say that Mum disappeared yesterday? Who kidnapped her? How would mum end up in the operating room right now? Dad, you have to investigate this matter clearly."
Zhou Heng's expression darkened."Dou Dou, you don't have to worry. Dad would naturally not allow the person who harmed Mum to get away."
As Zhou Heng spoke, he glanced slowly at Yue Wanqing and Ning Zhenguo who were being held against the wall by the bodyguards.
It was only then that Yue Wanqing had a clear look of Zhou Heng's resemblance. Her expressions froze, and her hands beneath her sleeves curled up, and her heart felt very weird.
She felt her own heart soften in this moment.
As Yue Wanqing froze, the anger on Zhou Heng's face also froze for a moment. His unclear eyes scanned her, and he looked closely at Yue Wanqing. He obviously has not seen her before, but it seemed as if he has.
At this moment, Ning Zhenguo shielded his wife behind his body. He looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Old Master, I have heard what you just said clearly. I think that you have misunderstood us. Old Madam was not kidnapped. She followed my wife into my home last night, and we have taken her in for the night. The next morning, Old Madam was inside the room. As we were preparing to call the police to report her, we heard a sound coming from the room, and when we opened the door, Old Madam had fallen by herself onto the floor."
