"Meiren?" Ji Ruo's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"A-Ah. Don't worry, grandma." Xia Meiren quickly said. "I'm in the hospital right now."
"What?! In the hospital?!" How can she tell not to worry when she was in the hospital?
"Mm. Lu Yifeng and I got into an accident... but since Lu Yifeng protected me, I didn't get hurt anywhere." She reasoned out before she continued, "Although he's condition is... still not good since he was the one who got hurt while protecting me."
Ji Ruo sighed in relief when she heard that Xia Meiren was fine. She doesn't really care what happened to Lu Yifeng but seeing that he was keeping the promise he made to them, Ji Ruo couldn't help but give him a brownie point.
"That's why I will be coming late tonight. Once I make sure that Lu Yifeng's condition is stable, I will go home. Please tell Xiao Gua that he doesn't have to wait." She continued.
"Okay, I will try to come up with something." Ji Ruo said.
But a small creak from the door was heard. And a small head peeked out from there. "Grandma, is that momma and dada?"
Little Melon's voice was heard.
"Oh dear, aren't you asleep yet?" Ji Ruo went towards him.
"Grandma, can you give the phone to Xiao Gua?" Xia Meiren asked.
"Here sweetheart, your mother wants to talk to you." Ji Ruo said as she handed the phone to the little boy.
Little Melon's eyes sparkled upon holding the phone. "h.e.l.lo momma? When are you and dada coming home?"
Xia Meiren's heart softened up when she heard his voice up close. As much as she didn't want to disappoint her son, she doesn't have a choice right now. "I'm sorry, baby. Mommy and daddy will be coming home late. Your daddy's friends need help."
