Not long after they returned to the apartment, the take-out ordered by Brucille had been sent to the door.
One can win, two candied noodles, one dessert, two candied teas, and one can of snacks.
Monique smiled. “Do you think it’s appropriate for a man to order these things?”
“It’s getting late now. I know you’re tired. You can take a shower and sleep after dinner.”
Monique turned around and saw that there was only a one-and-a-half-meter bed behind her. The two of them seemed to be a little cramped while sleeping.
If they squeezed together, it was very likely that there would be some unexpected and serious accidents, so she said, “I’ll go back.”
Brucille knew what she was thinking, so he said, “See? I have a sofa over there. I won’t be in the same bed as you.”
Being seen through by Brucille, Monique was a little embarrassed. After taking a shower, she found that she didn’t have pajamas at all.
“Hey, what are you wearing?”
Brucille, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, replied, “Let’s wear the emperor’s new clothes.”
Then he put his T-shirt into the bathroom. After putting it on, Monique found that she was playing with her clothes and disappeared, just like a dress.
She rushed out of the bathroom and quickly got into the bed. Only then did she feel at ease.
She said in a low voice, “Go and take a shower. Go to bed early.”
They were a little nervous that night, but both of them had their own worries. After Monique fell asleep, she suddenly screamed. Brucille quickly got into bed from the sofa.
Then, he comforted her gently.
Monique dreamed of the scene of blood spraying out. She grabbed Brucille’s arm tightly and fell asleep peacefully.
When the sunlight came in through the window, the two people on the bed were still holding each other tightly. Monique woke up and kicked Brucille off the bed.
“You stinking rogue.”
“Alas, God’s conscience. You had a nightmare last night. You called me, so I came.”
It was true that she had a nightmare, but she really couldn’t remember whether she should call him Monique.
So he let him go.
With his wife’s company, Brucille was in a good mood. He came to the consulting room early in the morning to prepare for the consultation.
Guo Xiangzhuang came earlier than usual and was helping Brucille wipe the table. When he saw Brucille, he immediately put down the rag in his hand and stared straight at Brucille. “Dr. Yip, what’s wrong with my grandfather?”
“Your grandfather’s heart disease has reached the late stage. His heart, which has accompanied him for the rest of his life, may stop beating at any time.”
Guo Xiangzhuang suddenly said with red eyes, “Dr. Yip, you are a miracle-working doctor. Think of a way.”
“I’m a miracle doctor, not an immortal. If I were an immortal, I could make a new heart for him, but I don’t have the ability. I’ll give you a prescription and give it to him on time, at least for a little more time.”
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Guo Xiangjian. He asked in a low voice, “How long will it take?”
“It’s hard to say. It may take one year or two, but I don’t think it will last more than two or three years.”
Brucille’s words echoed in Guo Xiangjian’s ears. His grandfather had always said that his body was strong, and he had been out of his mind for the whole day.
After work in the evening, he quickly grabbed the medicine in the pharmacy with the prescription and then rushed home.
When Guo Xiangzhuang rushed into the house, he saw his father.
“Dad, when did you come back?”
“Your mother found this last night.”
Guo Xiangjian opened the examination report, which showed that his grandfather had a serious heart attack and suggested that he be treated seriously. Of course, the best way was to change the heart.
However, waiting for the heart was almost the same as waiting for the first prize, so Alan refused to stay in the hospital. He didn’t want to spend the rest of his life on that broken bed.
Her mother wiped her face with tears and said guiltily, “Lao Guo, as a daughter-in-law, I’m not filial. I don’t know if the old master has such a serious illness.”
Guo Donglin said, “Chu Yan, how can you blame this kind of thing? The old man hid it so tightly that the whole family didn’t know about it.”
Guo Xiangzhuang was carrying lots of medicine in his hand. Guo Donglin asked, “Son, what are you doing?”
“There’s a new Dr. Ye in our department. When he first saw grandpa yesterday, he said that he was sick. I thought he was joking with me, but now I’m here to see him.”
“These medicines are the prescription he gave to grandpa. If he is lucky, he can extend grandpa’s life by two or three years.”
Guo Donglin was shocked again. “Do you mean that the doctor knew that your grandfather was ill just by looking at him? And he also knew that he was seriously ill?”
“Yes, stop it. I’m going to see grandpa.”
Guo Xiangjian had always had a good relationship with his grandfather when he was a child. When he suddenly learned the news, he was almost out of his mind.
The old man was lying on a rocking chair in the room, listening to Chinese opera music. Occasionally, he could even hum a few words.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Great Dr. Yip gave you a prescription, and this disease will be cured.”
The old man said, “Grandpa, I have lived for more than 70 years. Do you still want to lie to me?”
These words seemed to reach Brucille’s ears. Sitting in the park, he sneezed heavily.
“Damn, there must be someone who wants to kill me.”
Monique snuggled on Brucille’s shoulder and said, “Anyway, I won’t miss you. Otherwise, you will owe me some love debt outside, will you?”
“Yes, you also know that I am a romantic and handsome man. The women who like me outside are lined up at the foot of the Great Wall…”
The sound of high heels came from the stone steps behind. Brucille turned around and saw a familiar woman, Zheng Tiannan’s second wife, Tan Qing.
Tan Qing was followed by a handsome man who was about the same age as her. When they walked together, they were a perfect match.
Monique also recognized the woman in front of her at a glance. She didn’t expect that the woman would put on a green hat for the man lying on the bed on two ships.
The man wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and even his hands were moving in some hidden places.
Tan Qing opened her red lips and said in a melodious voice, “Dr. Yip, how is Old Zheng? How sure do you think he is?”
Brucille said without hesitation, “My nickname is Great Dr. Yip, and my chances of success will definitely reach 100%.”
Tan Qing was not as excited as Brucille. On the contrary, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely cold. She pushed away the man behind her and walked toward Brucille step by step.
Brucille could smell the perfume on her body. Monique showed a defensive posture that a hostess should have. She clung tightly to Brucille.
If she showed off her impressive figure, she would be much better than the woman in front of her, even if she wore some make-up.
Tan Qing said, “Mr. Yip, if you want to live a decent life in Jiang City, you need a lot of money. Besides, you have such a beautiful girlfriend, so I can make an agreement with you that will benefit you greatly…”
