Other than Gu Su, no one else knew about Qin Huai's background. Everyone only thought that she was Gu Su's friend.
Now that he saw that Zhizhi was so well-mannered and sensible, he could not help but feel grateful to this girl called Qin Huai.
Gu Sen sighed. While Han Li, Lin Wan, and Tang Xing were talking to Zhizhi, he whispered to his sons, Gu An and Gu Nian, "Go and ask Gu Su if this Miss Qin Huai has any unfinished business. Our Gu family will bear all the responsibility. She is our Gu family's great benefactor!"
"Don't worry, Father. We'll do a good job." Gu An and Gu Nian nodded.
A servant ran in hurriedly. "Old Master, Sir, the hospital called. They said that Old Madam, Old Madam is not very well!"
This voice was like a thunderclap, blowing up the warm atmosphere in the Gu family.
Gu An quickly comforted his father. "Dad, don't worry. The doctor has already made the arrangements. Gu Lin is on his way back."
Gu Nian, He Zhao, and Han Cheng hurriedly got up to arrange the car while Zhizhi was carried out by her mother.
"Baby, let's go to the hospital to see Grandma," Han Li said to her in a soft voice.
Zhizhi obediently wrapped her arms around her mother's neck.
"Auntie," Han Ze quickly said. "Let me carry my sister."
Her aunt's health had not been good all these years.
"Mom, let me carry her," Gu Yu said hurriedly. "She's very light."
Han Ze pushed him away. "You're still a child! Don't cause any trouble."
He promised Han Li, "Aunt, I'll carry my sister and stay by your side. We won't leave your side."
Han Li was still hesitating. Zhizhi struggled for a while. "Mom, I can walk on my own."
Han Ze smiled and pinched her face, taking her from Han Li's arms. "Your legs are short. How can you keep up with everyone? If Big Brother runs while carrying you, even your Brother won't be able to catch up!"
These words infuriated Gu Yu again, but Han Ze did not run away. He knew very well that his aunt could not leave his sister's side.
The whole family rushed to the hospital, and Zhizhi's face was tense as she felt the tense atmosphere.
"Don't be afraid," Han Ze whispered in her ear. "It's your grandmother who's sick. Zhizhi, be good."
Zhizhi nodded her head slightly, feeling a little scared. In her short life experience, the thing she feared the most was having someone fall sick.
In Peppermint Alley, there would be people falling sick from time to time, and death was also a common occurrence. Every time Zhizhi found out about it, she would be sad for a while, especially when she had experienced it herself.
Sitting in the car, Zhizhi could not help but reach out and grab Han Li's clothes.
Seeing this, Han Li took her daughter into her arms. Zhizhi whispered into Han Li's ear, "Mommy, will Grandma die?"
Zhizhi's voice was very soft. This was the first time that Zhizhi had taken the initiative to ask her a question since she had returned.
Han Li's heart ached, and she tightly hugged her daughter. She then looked at Zhizhi in the eye and softly said, "Zhizhi, ever since you were born, Grandma has been very fond of you. After you went missing, Grandma was very sad. On top of that, I fell sick when I got old. Now that you're back, I'm sure Grandma will be very happy."
She did not know how to continue to let such a young child understand life, old age, illness, and death.
Zhizhi, however, nodded her head lightly and said seriously, "I'll take care of Grandma then."
Han Li smiled and said with tears in his eyes. "Our Zhizhi is the most obedient. Grandma will be happy."
Holding Zhizhi in his arms, Han Li's tears quietly fell.
Han Ze sighed softly. "Auntie, don't be so anxious. Didn't you say that Brother Gu Lin is already on his way back? The doctors in the hospital have already made arrangements. It will be fine."
Han Li knew very well that the old lady was getting on in years. There were some things that could not be solved with money or people. In order to comfort the children, Han Li nodded. "Yes, Gu Lin is coming back. He's so powerful, he will definitely be able to cure his Grandmother."
Everyone in the Gu family had the same wish.
The attending doctors hurriedly said a few words to Gu An and Gu Nian before entering the operating room.
Gu Hao helped Gu Sen to the sofa in the lounge and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. Mom will be fine."
Gu Sen did not panic like his children. He waved to Zhizhi calmly. "Baby, come to Grandpa."
Zhizhi obediently leaned against the Old Master's side.
"Why isn't Gu Lin here yet?" Gu Nian asked Lin Ran anxiously.
Lin Ran raised her phone and said, "He said he'll be there immediately."
