Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2377 - 2313: Afraid I Can’t Help Her

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...

Meng Chaojun awoke in the hospital, immediately inquiring about Jiang Shiheng's return to the Jiang Family, expressing deep concern for the matter that had caused his dizzy spell and fall. Chiang Xiao reassured him that the return had gone smoothly that morning and shared that Meng Xinian was entering the Enclosed Camp, offering herself as the contact point for any needs. She provided a revitalizing potion, which Meng Chaojun drank despite his reluctance, believing his terminal illness made it a waste, though her response sparked a flicker of hope in his eyes.

Yet at this moment, she was convinced that regardless of everything, saving Meng Chaojun was essential. For that reason, the Pure Spirit Spring Water, Ginseng and Ganoderma, along with the Dendrobium plants she'd earlier sown in her Space—which had now thrived abundantly—could all go to him.

She might even include a few Calm Spirit Talisman Diagrams and soothing charms too. She was certain these treasures would ensure his eventual full recovery.

It came across as utterly disregarding any expense.

Chiang Xiao hadn't foreseen that her journey this time would lead her to such a bold choice.

Still, she held no remorse for choosing this path.

"Naturally, recovery is possible," Chiang Xiao affirmed with a nod, adding, "But Dad, you and Grandpa need to heed me entirely this round. Stop seeking out those fake healers or downing their dubious remedies."

At those words, Old Meng and Meng Chaojun's gazes brightened instantly, surging with hope. They nodded eagerly, insisting, "Absolutely, we'll obey you, we'll follow your lead!"

"Little one, Grandpa messed up earlier. I realize my error now and promise no more rash moves," Old Meng shared, his eyes growing teary.

Over the recent days, he'd wrestled with the idea of contacting Meng Xinian about his father's condition, hoping it'd prompt more time off to return home.

For he sensed Meng Chaojun might not have long left.

No matter the past conflicts, father and son ties endured. What resentment couldn't fade before the end?

Moreover, Duan Qingqing was gone from the picture.

Yet he worried summoning Meng Xinian could distress Meng Chaojun further, implying all hope was lost.

Thus, the weight of it all had pressed heavily on him lately.

With Chiang Xiao's assurance now, a spark of optimism ignited, lifting the burden from his chest like a massive rock rolling away, bringing sweet relief.

How peculiar that Chiang Xiao wielded such influence?

"Fine then," Chiang Xiao agreed, trusting these trials would prevent any future impulsiveness.

"That said, since Doctor Xu recommends Dad's hospitalization, he ought to remain here initially. Fainting at home poses real risks, and meds need time to balance the body— a few days of treatment first, then discharge if no more blackouts occur."

"Sure, sure, we'll do exactly as you suggest," Meng Chaojun agreed without hesitation.

Having downed one vial of potion already, he felt revitalized, treating Chiang Xiao's advice like sacred orders.

"Take one more vial of potion and rest a bit. I'll sort the admission paperwork. Grandpa, stay put here; I'll need your assistance with something shortly."

"Alright, Little, handle it—I'll be right here waiting."

Old Meng acted as obedient as a pupil, perched on the seat with knees pressed together and hands folded neatly, posture impeccable.

Chiang Xiao nearly chuckled but held it back, pivoting to exit instead.

Out in the hall, she let out a soft breath.

Evidently, she'd come on too forceful with the Meng family duo.

But if it guaranteed their compliance, so be it. She truly dreaded another reckless episode. Their bond was only starting to heal—better to keep it steady.

"Xiao Chiang, any updates?" Ding Haijing murmured from his lean against the nearby wall.

"All good, I'm off to process the admission. You hang back here."

Despite her words, Ding Haijing trailed right behind.

Questioned about it, he replied earnestly, "My role is safeguarding you, serving as your guard—not watching over anyone else."

Even if those others happened to be Officer Meng's kin.
