Chapter 1247 - 1246: Awake
Seeing his son in this state, Old Master Xiao understood everything, but now was not the time to blame.
"Alright, stop hitting your head like that. The most important thing now is to find that driver. Although we’ve ensured Yiyi’s condition is stable, he must also take responsibility."
Old Master Xiao shuddered at the thought of what could have happened. If it weren’t for Xu Ke’s blood type, Yiyi might be in real danger now or even have left this world. That thought sent a chill through him.
By the way, didn’t Xu Ke give blood? Where is he now?
Thinking of this, Old Master Xiao felt a bit regretful, realizing he’d been so focused on his grandson that he hadn’t paid attention to Xu Ke.
It seemed very inappropriate, so he turned to his assistant beside him: "Mr. Xu Ke has been a great help this time. I’m tied up here with Yiyi, so can you go check on him? I’ll go over shortly. Please see how things are and report back. I’m terribly sorry."
The assistant sighed upon hearing Old Master Xiao’s words, knowing that his guilt towards Xu Ke would linger for some time. Mr. Xu Ke truly is a good person.
With this thought, the assistant nodded. "Don’t worry, sir. I’ll go right away to see what’s happening and report it back to you."
Watching the assistant leave, Old Master Xiao turned his gaze back to his granddaughter, grateful that she was unharmed.
The assistant took a look next door and found Lan Tian there; this young man standing by Xu Ke’s side must have been the first to do so.
Even though he was beside Old Master Xiao at that time, he’d noticed this young man sitting quietly in the hall, observing Xiao Keyi and Xu Ke. It seemed he was indeed very sensible.
When the assistant entered, Lan Tian quickly stood up: "Hi there, Mr. Xu Ke is much better now. Are you here to see him?"
The assistant nodded in response to Lan Tian’s query, noting that Lan Tian indeed had good looks, befitting a star.
Upon seeing the assistant nod, Lan Tian breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that someone was there to care for Mr. Xu Ke. Otherwise, when Mr. Xu Ke woke up, he might have felt quite neglected.
"He’s out of danger now after the blood transfusion, so the main task is to supplement his nutrition. I’ll be heading out to buy some things for him soon; I hope you can stay here and watch over him."
Hearing Lan Tian’s words, the assistant pulled up a chair and sat down.
"You don’t need to go buy anything. I’m sure Old Master Xiao has already prepared something for Xu Ke. He was asking about him earlier and is certainly concerned, so just take a rest here—you look exhausted."
Agreeing with the assistant, Lan Tian realized that a big family like the Xiao Family would have everything arranged, relieving him from the need to prepare anything. Besides, going out might mean being tailed by paparazzi, which particularly gave Lan Tian a headache.
Shortly thereafter, Xu Ke woke up and was surprised to see Lan Tian by his side. He thought Lan Tian would have returned to his company, but was grateful to find him continually looking after him. His impression of Lan Tian improved greatly, as this was not what the media portrayed.
Realizing Xu Ke had awakened, Lan Tian immediately opened his eyes with a touch of panic.
"You’re awake! Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you do, you must tell me."
Feeling Lan Tian’s concern, Xu Ke shook his head. It was just a little blood loss, nothing major, and he had always maintained good training.
"I’m fine here, but you’ve looked after me for quite some time. Go rest; you can be assured that I’m alright. By the way, how is Xiao Keyi? Is she out of danger?"
Thinking about Xiao Keyi made Xu Ke worried, especially recalling seeing her in the operating room, not as relaxed as she appeared, having not opened her eyes yet.
Seeing Xu Ke’s concern for Xiao Keyi, Lan Tian was at a loss for words; so many people were with her, so why should Xu Ke bother?
But since it was Xu Ke’s business, Lan Tian couldn’t interfere. He sighed: "Don’t worry, Miss Xiao has plenty of people around her. Just take care of yourself, and remember, all that blood you donated means you need to recuperate."
Hearing that Xiao Keyi was fine, Xu Ke finally felt relieved and took a sip of water.
After chatting for a while, they heard the sound of crutches. Shortly, Old Master Xiao appeared at the door. Weakened by this ordeal, his hair seemed considerably grayer.
Upon seeing Xu Ke, tears welled up in the old man’s eyes: "Child, you’ve worked so hard. Without you, Yiyi might have... I’m so very thankful."
Seeing Old Master Xiao, Lan Tian hurriedly supported his arm. Although many had gone to Xiao Keyi’s side, the old man was indeed old.
Noticing Xu Ke’s pale face, Old Master Xiao felt even more remorseful.
"You’re practically Yiyi’s guardian angel. Without you, we wouldn’t know what to do. Rest assured, if you need anything in the future, I will do everything in my power to help you."
Hearing these words from Old Master Xiao felt almost like obtaining an imperial decree, yet Xu Ke felt nothing of the sort. If given Old Master Xiao’s promise, others might boast or act indebted.
But Xu Ke didn’t dwell on it: "It was my duty to save Yiyi. It was because of me that she came to find me and got into this situation. If she hadn’t come to the branch office, this accident wouldn’t have happened, so I should be the one apologizing."
Old Master Xiao slammed the table hard upon hearing this, startling Lan Tian, thinking the old man was suddenly angry.
Xu Ke arched an eyebrow, listening to the elder say: "Don’t take my rebellious son’s words to heart. He’s clueless. It wasn’t you but the truck driver who hit Yiyi, and we’ve got the surveillance footage now."
"The truck driver is mainly at fault; not only did he run a red light, but he also fled after hitting someone, crashing into two more cars while evading. He’s been apprehended now."
