Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 962 - 782: Admitting Mistakes (2)

After leaving Old Mrs. Mei’s room, Ye Qing went directly to Xie Lingzhi’s room. There was nothing in her and Mei Shuping’s room. However, she did manage to dig out their savings.

The passbook showed tens of thousands of yuan. Tsk tsk, they’re not that wealthy, despite how accommodating Ye Qing has been to Xie Lingzhi, and in the end, there’s just this little money, which may not even end up in her hands.

After Ye Qing came out, she went to Mr. Mei’s study, where there were only some decorations and books.

These decorations were quite ordinary, and Ye Qing couldn’t tell how valuable they were. While rummaging through Mr. Mei’s cabinet, she found a locked cabinet door. She searched for a long time but couldn’t find the key.

Helplessly, she crouched down to take a peek, and it turned out to be quite revealing as Ye Qing discovered some things.

Inside were rolled-up paintings and several porcelain pieces.

No doubt these were antiques.

Ye Qing smiled in the dark; even though she didn’t know how to open it, discovering the treasure’s location was enough. A mere lock wasn’t going to stop her.

Ye Qing didn’t go to Mei Shuping’s study. She concluded that Mei Shuping’s study was similar to their bedroom and wouldn’t have anything good.

She didn’t know that, in fact, Xie Lingzhi had hidden a few things given to her by Old Mrs. Mei over the years in Mei Shuping’s study.

...

On the hospital side, Old Mrs. Mei was fine, merely frightened, passing out for a moment, but she woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital. After all, she’s getting old, and such a scare left her complexion pale. She would definitely need to be on an IV for a few days.

As for Mr. Mei, he fell and broke his nasal bridge. He was currently undergoing surgery and hadn’t woken up during the procedure.

It was already late at night when the surgery finished.

Mr. Mei’s fall was quite serious—not only was his nose badly injured, his mind was somewhat disoriented, and his lips were swollen like sausages, making speaking temporarily difficult. His leg was injured at the knee, which was bruised and purple. Whether he can stand with it remains unknown, everything hinges on Mei Erqing waking up.

Chen Haichang was quite happy seeing Mei Erqing in this state, secretly thinking the fall was too mild, and at this moment, he leaned against the wall and silently wished for Mr. Mei’s leg to be rendered useless too.

Mei Shuping contacted the hospital leaders, specifically getting a three-bed room for the elderly couple, with an extra bed conveniently accommodating anyone staying overnight.

On this night, none of the Mei Family members left. Tonight was a critical period; if Mr. Mei doesn’t wake up, he would be no different from a vegetable.

Mei Langchi sat by Old Mrs. Mei’s bedside, having just lulled her to sleep.

Mei Shuping and Mei Shuqing were weighed down with heavy thoughts, while their wives dozed off in chairs beside them.

Chen Haichang also didn’t leave; he was waiting for Mr. Mei to wake up and witness his predicament.

Han Yi was indifferent to them, napping in the corridor outside.

After keeping vigil all night, Lin Wan went to the old residence the next day, planning to have Aunt Wu prepare some light porridge so I could take Little Star to the hospital.

Upon entering, she saw Xiao Wang’s car hastily pull into the living room.

Aunt Wu was aiding the feverish and disoriented Ye Qing downstairs.

"First Young Madam, Third Young Madam has a fever of forty-one degrees; Xiao Wang and I are about to take her to the hospital." Aunt Wu explained hurriedly upon seeing Lin Wan.

Lin Wan glanced at Hua Hua beside Ye Qing, then at Ye Qing, who was nearly fainting, blinking her eyes.

"You all help her into the car first. Aunt Wu, you stay home to take care of Hua Hua. At lunch, just prepare a light soup for Old Mrs. Mei and Mr. Mei. I happen to need to go to the hospital, so I’ll take her along."

"Is... this alright?" Aunt Wu knew the two young ladies were contentious. After yesterday’s uproar, letting First Young Madam take Third Young Madam along could lead to trouble if anything occurred en route.

"Why not? In my condition, with Xiao Wang here, what can happen to her under my watch?" Even if something occurred, it would merely be pinching Ye Qing a couple of times when she’s weak.

But Aunt Wu didn’t give her that chance and directly seated Ye Qing in the car in front.

Lin Wan and Little Star sat behind.

Judging by Ye Qing’s state, she seemed severely ill, not lifting her eyes the entire way. Lin Wan wasn’t sure what was wrong, but seeing her still-swollen, reddened face, she appeared to be burning.

Yesterday she was drenched in cold water; returning home, she would have felt awkward going to the bathhouse. Even heated water at home wouldn’t warm the place entirely. Furthermore, she slapped herself severely last night. Such circumstances naturally led to illness.

After arriving at the hospital, Lin Wan instructed Xiao Wang to take Ye Qing to the emergency room, while she took Little Star to find Mr. Mei’s ward.

"Mom, look, is Dad over there sleeping?" On the corridor’s long bench, Han Yi and Chen Haichang sat with their arms crossed, heads lowered and eyes closed, just like that, asleep.

Despite the time and the crowds passing by, they both managed to sleep.

After Lin Wan and Little Star walked over, they bent down to check, then exchanged smiles, didn’t wake them, and proceeded directly to the ward.

Inside the ward, Old Mrs. Mei was awake, receiving an IV on her bed.

Mr. Mei, however, had yet to regain consciousness.

Both Mei Shuqing and Mei Shuping had dark circles under their eyes, clearly not having slept last night.

"Why did you come here, big belly brimming? It’s crowded here; you didn’t have to come." The weather outside was cold, and Liang Qian worried Lin Wan would catch a cold, something dangerous at this time.

"How can I not come when it’s my grandparents who are ill? Is she delicate? Just take a look at my Ah Qing. She’s surely busy at home making soup for her grandma." Xie Lingzhi cast Lin Wan a disdainful glance, still upset about last night.
