Chapter 359 - 337: Little Uncle, Wait for Me
An’an glanced at the hospital room and recalled something before asking, "Where’s my Little Uncle?"Grandma got angry as soon as she heard it: "You still mention him! You fainted, and he didn’t even come to see you. He’s already gone. Don’t ever mention him again!"
"Gone?" An’an sat up on the bed in a panic, looking around anxiously and asking, "What time is it? What time is it?"
Before Grandma and Su Nian could react to why she was so panicked, they saw her yank off the needle from her hand and run out of the room without even wearing her shoes.
Being elderly, there was no way Grandma could chase after her, so Su Nian said, "Mom, you go back first. I’ll go after her."
When Su Nian chased after her, she saw that An’an had already flagged down a taxi. In a hurry, she also hailed a cab on the roadside: "Driver, follow that car in front."
Following all the way, the car stopped at the airport. Seeing An’an rush out of the taxi, her taxi driver also followed and shouted behind, "Hey, you haven’t paid yet!"
Su Nian hurriedly walked over to pay the fare for An’an and entered the airport together with her.
Even at night, the airport was still crowded. An’an, in her hospital gown, looked frail but stood out, with people around pointing at her.
Some people probably recognized her but were unsure. Everyone was in a hurry to catch their flights and didn’t stop for long, leaving while gossiping.
An’an’s eyes were red as she scanned the large airport but couldn’t find the person she was looking for.
Su Nian jogged up behind her, understanding why she was in such a hurry to come here. She sympathized with her daughter’s feelings. It wasn’t a matter of just a day or two between her and Su Yan. Even though people outside said unpleasant things, forcefully separating them was something no one could simply let go of after over twenty years of affection.
"An’an..."
"Mom..." An’an turned around and buried herself in Su Nian’s arms, crying uncontrollably. She had never cried so vulnerably, not even when she was a child.
Su Nian didn’t say a word to comfort her, just held her, letting her vent her emotions. Only when her crying subsided did she say, "An’an, let’s go back and take care of your health first. If you still want to see Little Uncle, we’ll go find him, okay?"
Hearing this, An’an asked Su Nian cautiously and somewhat puzzled, "Mom... you don’t oppose me being with Little Uncle?"
Su Nian sighed lightly and patted her head, saying earnestly, "Mom just wants you siblings to be safe and happy. If you like him, Mom won’t stop you, but you have to promise me to take care of yourself first, okay?"
Moved, An’an wiped her tears and nodded in agreement.
"Then let’s go back to the hospital with Mom first. Look at you, not even wearing shoes. You’ll catch a cold later."
...
It was still late at night, still in the hospital room, but An’an felt more uneasy than before. She closed her eyes, not wanting to worry her family, but she was actually not asleep at all.
When she woke up and found out Su Yan had left, she had never felt so panicked. She feared that this separation might be forever and worried that his departure meant he didn’t want to wait for her anymore...
She heard her mother and father talking softly outside the door, and only then did she open her eyes. She picked up her phone from the bedside and texted that familiar number: Little Uncle, wait for me. I’ll come find you soon.
For some things that were hard to decide, she already had an answer in her heart. Following her heart to see what she couldn’t bear to give up, she didn’t want to regret it when it was too late.
