Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2465 - 2401: Some Guarded Against Him

Once Nian Che had departed, she lingered briefly before making her way back to the hospital room, rapping lightly on the door prior to stepping inside.

Chiang Xiao's initial gaze fell upon Old Meng, where she observed the weariness lining his features and the evident lack of vitality in his demeanor, sparking a touch of bewilderment within her.

From overhearing their entire exchange moments ago, she detected Old Meng's wariness toward Nian Che, as if he preferred to maintain some separation, though he still endured his presence and consented to their joint entry, upholding a measure of courteous interaction throughout.

Just what is happening here?

Evidently, he retains knowledge of Nian Che's past.

Meng Chaojun was on the verge of inquiring about the identity of that individual from his father when he spotted Chiang Xiao's arrival.

In that instant, the stranger slipped from his thoughts, replaced by an eagerness to inform Chiang Xiao about the positive shifts in his health over the recent days.

Furthermore, much like an eager student, the moment Chiang Xiao appeared, he automatically straightened his posture and rested his hands upon his knees, a hint of anxiety bubbling up inside him.

"Little, you've arrived? I just had a short rest and dozed off deeply. These last couple of days, my sleep has been restful, and upon rising, I sense a surge of vigor, feeling healthier overall without those nagging headaches."

Chiang Xiao shifted her attention away from Old Meng.

"Grandpa, Dad." She offered her greetings to them initially.

"Little has come." Old Meng promptly brightened and displayed a warm grin.

Turning to Meng Chaojun, Chiang Xiao remarked, "It's wonderful that you're progressing; getting solid, restorative sleep benefits your well-being greatly. What have the doctors mentioned?"

"The checks happen daily, and they report no worsening."

When it came to Meng Chaojun's health status, Old Meng felt a wave of relief; at the very least, a faint ray of optimism now existed, far preferable to the oppressive gloom that had weighed on them earlier.

Chiang Xiao managed to infer as much.

Full recovery in merely a handful of days from consuming the potion was out of the question.

Meng Chaojun's ailment runs deep, so even with the aid of spring water and potion for a cure, the process would undoubtedly demand considerable time.

That said, should the spring water prove effective in mending him, a hospital stay remains necessary for some duration before release, ensuring the physicians witness gradual betterment, no decline, and overall steadiness, thus avoiding undue astonishment upon his eventual full healing at home.

If not, a patient on the brink of crisis suddenly walking out cured would defy all reason.

She'd draw far too much unwanted attention that way.

As such, Chiang Xiao intends for him to follow the facility's fresh therapy regimen for a spell.

With visible gains, discharge becomes feasible, allowing the medical team to claim partial success.

"No decline is positive progress, so Dad, relax and take your time with recovery."

"Right, right, I understand." Meng Chaojun nodded swiftly in affirmation.

Chiang Xiao set down the bag she held next to him.

"Inside are the fresh batches of potions prepared for the coming days."

"Got it, got it, I'll store them securely without fail." Meng Chaojun promptly slid the bag beneath his covers.

These potions serve as his vital safeguard, every vial holding immense value, and he vows not to misplace even one.

"Any word on the new therapy protocol?"

"It's due out tomorrow, since your dad's health has shown slight gains in the last couple of days, prompting the doctors to convene once more." Old Meng explained.

"Mm, then I'll visit again tomorrow." She added, recalling a detail, "Oh, and I picked up plenty of crisp, farm-fresh produce from a rural vendor, Grandpa; I'll deliver some tomorrow for you to have Meng Sheng prepare meals with, plus extras for Dad."

The crops from her space mature at an astonishing pace, yielding harvest after harvest, leaving more than they could possibly consume.
