Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

514  Old Man Is A Fighter....

Jiang Yuyan put her palm on the backside of Lu Qiang's palm as his hands were resting at the railing of the window. She caressed it gently as to assure him everything would be fine and Lu Qiang did nothing but to look at their hands and then look at her just to move his sight back to see outside of the window. The whole atmosphere was silent with no one talking and being immersed in their own thoughts. After getting a follow up on elder Lu's condition, Jiang Yang went to the waiting room where the whole family was present. Seeing him, grandma Zhao Shuang stood up hoping to listen that everything was fine and the old man would jump around like always. Other family members too looked at him holding their breaths to know what was the situation. Jiang Yang went to grandma Zhao Shuang and first he made her sit back on the couch. Ning Jiahui gave him a space to sit beside grandma and stepped aside. Lu Qiang came to them and asked. "How is he?"

"Grandpa's condition is stable now but still we need to observe him for a few days," Jiang Yang replied to Lu Qiang and then looked at the grandma who was sitting silently. Holding her hand in his, he said, "Grandpa is a fighter, grandma. Such minor things won't be able to affect him. He would be fine soon."

Hearing it, grandma held his hands tightly and asked, "Really?" Her eyes moist, tears holding on at the edge of the lower eyelid.

Having a slight pleasant and assuring smile on his face, Jiang Yang nodded. "Hmm!" and asked, "What if I say you can see him now?"

A smile painted on her lips and said, "Take me to him. I want to see him."

"Let's go then." Saying he helped grandma to stand up and said to others, "For now only grandma and one more person can see him and later I will allow others to see him."

They agreed and Lu Jinhai accompanied his mother to go see his father. When they reached inside, tears rolled down from grandma's eyes to see her always so lively and bright husband, lying lifeless on a bed. Lu Jinhai was a strong person but seeing his father, he couldn't stop his eyes from getting moist. Jiang Yang made grandma to sit on a chair beside the patient's bed and stood aside. Elder Lu was lying unconscious in the bed with IV drips attached to his one hand and there were some medical equipment like a patient monitor, a standard piece of medical equipment that keeps accurate track of a patient's condition and state of health, which was showing the multiple parameters of elder Lu' body such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, etc. There was a light sound of Bip coming out from a machine with an interval of seconds. Grandma held elder Lu's hands and continued caressing it looking at his calm face. She missed his blatant words, his mischief, his way of getting angry, which was fake most of the time and to get the things done in his way. Sometimes he was angry for real and that left the entire family scared of him. So many things passed in front of her eyes and she wished him to wake up the very moment and do what he wanted. She would never stop him as she just wished him to be with her. was present there, Lu Jinhai asked them to head back home though no one was willing to. 16:56

"Wake up and get well soon, honey. This old lady doesn't want to spend a single moment without you being by my side," she said calmly as the tears rolled down from her eyes. Lu Jinhai, who was standing beside his mother, put his hands on his mother's shoulder to console her. Spending some time there, both went back to the waiting room. As it was late evening and everyone was present there, Lu Jinhai asked them to head back home though no one was willing to. He went to his wife and said, "Lu Lijun is alone at home. You should go back and look after others too."

Ning Jiahui nodded to it and she left with the family members. Grandma was not willing to go, but as her son insisted she left, only Lu Jinhai, Lu Feng, Lu Qiang, and Jiang Yuyan stayed back. Jiang Yuyan wanted to be with Lu Qiang, so she insisted on staying back.

Lu Qiang and Lu Feng went outside of elder Lu's room and both continued looking at him through the rectangular glass in the door which allowed one to see inside the room. Since both came there, no one said a single word as if there was nothing left to talk. Late night after having dinner with a heavy heart, Lu Qiang asked his father to go back home and take Jiang Yuyan with him. Jiang Yuyan wanted to stay back but Lu Qiang insisted so she went back. Once all left, Lu Qiang and Lu Feng fell asleep while sitting on the couch. That night, Jiang Yang didn't go back home and spent his night in the hospital. Jiang Yang went to the waiting room where his two friends were present. When he went there, he saw only Lu Qiang was there who was sleeping sitting on the couch but Lu Feng was not there.

Sensing the surrounding movement, Lu Qiang opened his eyes to see Jiang Yang who just entered the room and sat in one of the chairs. "Where is Lu Feng?" Lu Qiang asked, leaning forward to sit properly.

"I didn't see as I came here," Jiang Yang replied. Thinking he must be around, Lu Qiang let go of it and asked, "How is the condition of grandpa now? Is there anything serious?"

"I would say there is nothing to be worried about but didn't want to assure you as it's a human body and you never know when and how it will react though as a doctor we try our best."

"Hmm!"

"I am going to check on grandpa and I thought to take both of you along with me as you didn't see him."

"I want to see him. Let's go."

When both reached outside of the room and as Jiang Yang put his hand on the doorknob to open the door, his sight noticed something inside the room and he stopped taking one step back.
