By the time Qiao Nan tidied up the house, boiled a pot of plain porridge and brought it with her to the hospital, it was already night time.
Qiao Nan stepped into the ward and saw Qiao Zijin bent over Qiao Dongliang's bedside in a deep sleep. She did not see Ding Jiayi in the ward.
Qiao Nan put down the porridge and walked to Qiao Dongliang's bedside. She had yet to say a word before she was startled by a figure suddenly appearing behind her.
"Don't be scared, it is me." Zhai Sheng put one hand around Qiao Nan's waist while the other covered her mouth lest she let out a sound out of shock and woke others up.
"Brother Zhai?" Qiao Nan put her heart at rest when she heard the familiar sound of Brother Zhai. "Didn't you mention that you have something on?"
"I have completed the mission," Zhai Sheng said calmly. "How is Uncle Qiao now?"
"The doctor said he has to be under observation for twenty-four hours."
