Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1246 - 1245: Investigation

Every time Jiang Na said this, Xiao Keyi’s eyes brimmed with tears, though she always held them back forcibly.

"Nana, you don’t understand. Actually, my father truly loves me. It’s just that some things are beyond his control. That child is also my father’s, so I need to understand him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Na merely sighed. How could this girl she knew be so foolish?

But Jiang Na understood that Xiao Keyi disliked others disparaging her father the most, so Jiang Na always did what a good friend should—comforted Xiao Keyi without crossing the line.

However, seeing Xiao Zhen looking so worried here, Jiang Na wondered if this was all real. If it was, then Xiao Zhen truly liked Yiyi. But if Xiao Zhen really liked Yiyi, given Yiyi’s mood recently, it seemed impossible.

Jiang Na kept staring at Xiao Zhen, not just him; others also noticed, and the old man felt a pang in his heart.

This little girl might not have her eyes on this unfilial son of mine, right? My unfilial son is almost old enough to have grandchildren; this cannot happen. It will waste the girl’s precious youth.

"Ahem!" Old Man Xiao coughed once, and Jiang Na snapped back to reality, looking at the old man.

"Grandpa, are you feeling unwell? If you are uncomfortable, you should see a doctor right now. Illnesses shouldn’t be ignored; once delayed, the body can’t withstand it."

Hearing Jiang Na’s concern, Old Man Xiao felt he might have overthought things and was a bit embarrassed. He was already old enough, what was he thinking? The young girl was just concerned about Yiyi, what was he even seeing?

At this moment, Xiao Zhen regained his senses, worried his father felt ill.

"Dad, if you’re feeling unwell, go see a doctor. You’ve been quite busy lately, which might be tough on your body, especially with Yiyi’s situation. Why don’t you go home and rest? I’ll stay here and keep watch."

Old Man Xiao shook his head: "I know my body best; there’s really nothing wrong. Just got choked by the dust earlier, so I coughed a bit. You don’t need to worry too much."

Hearing Old Man Xiao’s words, Xiao Zhen frowned slightly. Since Dad said so, it must be fine.

But the assistant shook his head; the old man is in this state now, how can he still be holding on?

The old man always had heart issues, plus the stress of such things, this period must be hard for him. But the old man doesn’t want him to tell others; the old man’s stubbornness really is like when he was younger.

But Jiang Na was particularly worried. Grandpa Xiao was physically strong in his youth due to his military background, even a common cold couldn’t trouble him. But this time, Grandpa Xiao had been coughing repeatedly, without any dust in the air.

Yet Grandpa Xiao said there was dust in the air, he hasn’t been very honest lately.

Just as Jiang Na prepared to speak, the emergency room door suddenly opened, and everyone waiting in the hallway immediately stood up.

Out of the emergency room were wheeled two people, Xiao Keyi was naturally at the front, and everyone followed Xiao Keyi.

Meanwhile, Lan Tian paused, looked at the person at the end; Xu Ke had already fallen asleep. Seeing Xu Ke, Lan Tian’s expression changed slightly. Xu Ke was fine when he went in, how come he is unconscious now?

"Doctor, wasn’t he fine when he went in? Why is he unconscious now, is he okay?"

Seeing finally someone concerned about the person behind, the doctor sighed; finally, someone showed concern for this young man.

"Don’t worry, he is absolutely fine. He was just too tired earlier and might have fallen asleep. When he wakes up, try to give him something to replenish his blood, and avoid raw or spicy food."

Hearing the doctor’s advice, Lan Tian felt a lot more relieved. Although Xiao Keyi was also his benefactor, relatively speaking, seeing so many people around Xiao Keyi, especially seeing Xu Ke, he sighed.

Clearly, there’s Xu Ke alongside Xiao Keyi, yet those people do not care about Xu Ke. Never mind, these are not his concerns; he just needs to do what he should.

At this moment, seeing his granddaughter wrapped in bandages, Old Man Xiao couldn’t hold back anymore. Despite his years of triumphs, now tears flowed.

"How has my good granddaughter ended up like this? Grandpa truly feels guilty towards you. If only Grandpa had noticed earlier, things wouldn’t be this way."

Old Man Xiao didn’t know what to do, especially seeing the bandage on Xiao Keyi’s neck. Knowing how his granddaughter who loved beauty would react upon seeing it, led him to wonder how she would fuss about it when she woke up.

And now Jiang Na, seeing her close friend finally out of danger, didn’t care about appearances at all.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you for saving my friend. You all worked hard."

Jiang Na said to the doctor who performed the surgery, and the doctor gave Jiang Na a respectful look, breathing a sigh of relief. Each time a life is saved, the doctor’s heart is actually joyous too.

Because usually, when the patient is wheeled out, family members are only focused on seeing the patient, they hardly care about the doctors who worked several hours.

Though this is common, and doctors can understand the families’ feelings, hearing gratitude still moves them.

"Thank you, young lady, but we are honored to be able to save the young lady, you really don’t need to thank me."

Hearing the doctor’s thanks, Jiang Na was indeed stunned; shouldn’t doctors be thanked? Why did the doctor turn around and say thank you?

But Jiang Na didn’t know, the doctor expressed this thanks genuinely.

Now Xiao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing something might happen to his daughter leaving no chance for regret. Fortunately, all’s well and he has the chance to make it up to her. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but rub his face.

"Alright, now that Yiyi is out of danger, don’t blame yourself anymore. Besides, our main focus should be on investigating who did this; Yiyi shouldn’t have violated traffic rules."

Hearing Old Man Xiao’s words, Xiao Zhen regrettably smacked his head; he clearly saw the big truck at the time, and the driver even came over to ask him.

But he was too worried about his daughter at the time, so he didn’t pay attention to the truck driver, letting him escape.
