207 Getting Better
Lu Qing didn’t want to talk to Zhuang Liu, but he was from the Zhuang family. They would definitely meet in the future. Plus, Zhuang Liu was the one who took the initiative to talk to him. He couldn’t refuse.
However, Zhuang Liu didn’t seem to be here for serious business. He kept talking and staring at his phone, not knowing the conversation’s main point.
As he spoke, Lu Qing saw the stern smile on the third young master’s face. Although it was fleeting, he still saw it. What could make the third young master Zhuang so happy?
“Well, young master Lu, we’ll meet again.” Zhuang Liu came and left inexplicably.
Lu Qing returned with a stomach full of doubts, “Is the third young master Zhuang here to see his grandfather? But why did Zhuang Liu talk to him instead? Did they know each other?”
However, this doubt was directly thrown out of his mind after he heard what the guards said.
“What did you just say? Say it again!” Lu Qing was extremely excited. He held the Guard’s arm with both hands and asked repeatedly. “What happened to Grandpa?”
The security guards were also very excited. “The chief said that he wanted to eat something and finished the tonics that the third young master Zhuang brought here.”
No matter who sent it, as long as it was something his grandfather could eat, it was still good news. Lu Qing hurried back to the ward to see his grandfather. He saw Old Master Lu holding a spoon in one hand and a thermos in the other. He was drinking the delicate and rich soup inside.
“Grandpa, you’re finally willing to eat on your own!” Lu Qing was surprised.
Old Master Lu was not satisfied with what his grandson was saying. “Why can’t I eat it by myself? When I was younger, I carried boxes of grenades that weighed tens of catties on my back. I can’t even lift a spoon now?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Lu Qing was delighted. He was so happy that he was incoherent. “I said you can eat by yourself now… No! I meant to say that you’re finally eating! Uh…. I didn’t mean that either.”
The genius, Lu Qing, was so excited that he couldn’t form a coherent sentence.
Old Master Lu understood what he meant. “Alright, alright! You don’t have to say anymore. I understand, but….”
Old master Lu moved his arms.
“It’s strange. I clearly felt that my body weighed a thousand pounds before, but now it seems I’m only five hundred pounds. I also have a good appetite. I just drank a big bowl of soup.”
“That’s good.” Lu Qing was slightly relieved. As long as he could still eat, it was a good thing.
“Hmm…. maybe your grandma and your parents bless me from heaven. They’re blessing me to live a few more years and watch you grow.”
Lu Qing didn’t want to talk about sad things. “Grandpa, you will definitely live up to a hundred years old.”
Old master Lu laughed heartily. “I hope so.”
Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou met outside the hospital. Tan Rou reported the treatment results to Zhuang Liu, her eyes full of joy. Zhuang Liu’s heart ached instead. Was she that happy to treat the Lu family?
“Mr. Lu’s first course of treatment has ended. It’s now time for your second course of treatment. Are you ready?” Tan Rou asked.
Hearing Tan Rou’s words, Zhuang Liu’s unhappiness disappeared. “I’m always ready, but I want it to end soon!”
“We can’t complete the whole treatment in one day. We have to do it step by step.” Tan Rou advised him. “We can’t be too hasty.”
“I know.” Zhuang Liu clenched the handle of the wheelchair with both hands and tried to lift himself, but he failed. He couldn’t even move in the wheelchair.
Tan Rou saw the blue veins on the back of his hand and understood his desire to try to get back on his feet. Indeed, he had been in a wheelchair for so many years, so he must be dying to stand up and walk again. If someone else had been trapped in a wheelchair for more than ten years, he would have collapsed long ago.
“Your legs are much better now.” Tan Rou squatted down and gently comforted Zhuang Liu, “Do you believe in me? I will be able to help you.”
Zhuang Liu slowly held her slender hand. “I know that you will definitely cure me.”
“I’ll talk to Uncle Bai first, and we’ll start the treatment tomorrow.” Tan Rou felt it was about time, and there was no longer a need to wait.
“Alright, we’ll go according to your plan.” Zhuang Liu smiled warmly.
Tan Rou started treatment for Zhuang Liu at the Zhuang family’s hotel. However, photos of Tan Rou suddenly appeared on the school forum the day after the treatment. There were photos of her going in and out of the hotel with a man, going to the hospital with him, and then coming out alone. The photos were almost the same, and the contents were similar, but there were many of them.
They could take pictures from 18 different angles, and every one showed Tan Rou’s face in high definition.
