After the treatment concluded, Lin Xiao tidied up his belongings. He looked at the elders resting and prepared to bid farewell.
"Lin Xiao."
At this moment, the old lady suddenly called out to him.
"What is it, Grandma?"
Lin Xiao hurried over and asked.
"Thank you."
The old lady uttered these words with difficulty, her face etched with a bitter smile. "I never expected that in the end, the one who treated me best would be Bu Yu, and you... it's you all..."
As she said this, she understood clearly. She had completely accepted the situation.
Even if she refused to accept it, the facts were already laid bare.
No matter what, she could only evade the truth and deceive herself.
"Grandma, you shouldn't say that. You are an elder." Lin Xiao considered himself someone who respected elders and loved the young. However, this old lady had never treated Luo Qinghan well. "Originally, you treated Qinghan and Xun'er poorly, and I wasn't very satisfied. I wasn't willing to help you. But Qinghan and Xun'er understand you and aren't pursuing it, so I won't say anything more. Saving a life is a small matter for me, so I did it."
After the meal.
The old gentleman became more emotional as he ate, while the old lady gradually quieted down, losing her enthusiasm.
It wasn't so much a loss of enthusiasm as it was a feeling of being superfluous here. After finishing, she hurriedly said, "I just remembered the clothes at home haven't been hung out to dry..."
"What about the nanny at home? I remember you hired a nanny for you two last time?" Lin Xiao interrupted the old lady's excuse, confused.
"..."
At Lin Xiao's words, the old lady's face showed a hint of awkwardness. "That's right... I'll call her and let her know..."
Everyone present could see clearly that the old lady was restless and wanted to leave, and Lin Xiao was intentionally pointing it out.
The old gentleman sighed and then leaned closer to the old lady, patting her shoulder. "Are you feeling unwell? Perhaps we should go back and rest... Lin Xiao, my wife is getting old, and all sorts of ailments have started to appear. The doctor told her to rest well and adjust her mindset."
Now, both he and the old lady had age spots; their years had truly caught up.
With Lin Xiao's help back then, the old gentleman's body had rejuvenated considerably, but his wife's health had not been as fortunate.
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiao immediately responded with concern. "Would you like me to take a look? Perhaps I can help Grandma in some way? Or, he could come. You should trust his skills, right?"
Lin Xiao and the Nether Doctor—one was a divine doctor of Long Country, the other a descendant of the Ning family. Could they not be trusted?
The old gentleman's eyes lit up upon hearing this and he immediately looked at his wife. "Shall Lin Xiao examine you?"
"This..."
The old lady felt a bit embarrassed.
Her relationship with Lin Xiao... and her relationship with Luo Bu Yu's family were already established.
Even if she truly wished for Lin Xiao's help and for him to conduct an examination, at this point, the words dared not leave her lips.
After all, her own children were sent away by Lin Xiao's hand.
Even though she clearly understood that her children had made mistakes, she still did not wish for the current situation to have occurred.
Therefore, she had always been unable to let go of this matter.
However...
