He knew very well whether these relatives at home were worried about his grandfather's health or were afraid that the old man would not be able to hold on and affect their own future.
Some things are better left unsaid, as long as everyone can save face.
He walked past his third aunt, came to Su's mother, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, don't worry too much."
Su's mother covered her face, she was so panicked that she couldn't utter a word.
Xu Jishen gently took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, and whispered to her, "There is a phone number saved in grandpa's phone with the name Q. I remember he told me that he knew a very skilled doctor, and he never saved unfamiliar numbers. That Q should be the miracle doctor that grandpa mentioned."
"I have already contacted the miracle doctor using his phone. He replied to my message two hours ago and said he was on his way. We should wait a little longer."
Mother Su raised her head and looked at him worriedly: "Will waiting be of any use?"
Xu Jishen's throat was dry and he was unable to answer her question.
He didn't know whether it would be any use waiting any longer.
But now they have no choice but to wait!

An hour later, Qiao Nian's flight landed at the ring road airport.
She got off the plane, pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt, and walked towards the airport road.
Qiao Nian hailed a taxi on the side of the road, got in and told the driver the address of the hospital, then she took out her cell phone from her pocket in the back seat.
Turn on your phone.
Ye Wangchuan made seven or eight missed calls to her.
Among them was a missed call from Qin Si.
She didn't answer any of the calls, but just took out WeChat and sent a message to Ye Wangchuan, telling him that she had safely arrived at the ring road and was now preparing to go to the hospital to visit Su Huaiyuan.
The airport is some distance away from the municipal hospital, and as it was approaching the evening rush hour, there was a traffic jam on the road.
Qiao Nian was stuck in traffic all the way and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when he arrived at Raocheng City Hospital.
It was already dark outside.
The weather has changed suddenly in the past few days. It has been raining for several days in a row. It is also raining tonight. The sky is dark and there is not a single star. The weather is very hot and muggy. It looks like it is going to rain.
Qiao Nian lowered the brim of his hat, walked straight into the hospital, and headed towards the ICU ward.
…
"Xu Jishen, hasn't the doctor you mentioned arrived yet?" The whole Su family was waiting outside the intensive care unit.
Su Huaiyuan was still in danger, so they didn't dare to leave, and couldn't leave, for fear that they would miss the chance to see Old Su for the last time.
No one wanted to leave, but there were always people who couldn't wait and asked, "Is the doctor coming or not?"
Xu Jishen endured a whole day and night, waiting outside like them.
Someone started questioning him, and the other relatives of the Su family immediately followed suit.
"Yeah, why hasn't the doctor come yet? Jishen, are you sure he won't stand us up?" Third Aunt-in-law always has something to say: "If it doesn't work, let's transfer to another hospital!"
Xu Jishen frowned suddenly, his eyes moved slightly, and he was about to say, "How can his grandfather be transferred to another hospital according to his current condition?"
at this time.
He saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Jishen was a little confused, his brain was tense, and he felt incredible. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Qiao Nian?"
How come Qiao Nian is here
He had never had any formal contact with Qiao Nian, but because of Jiang Yao, he had heard a lot of things about Qiao Nian in private.
He thought that his cousin Jiang Yao was pretty awesome.
But at this moment, Qiao Nian suddenly appeared around the city and appeared in the hospital at this critical moment.
And walked towards them.
