Chapter 527 what aout yourself? (1/2)

Grandfather Ji called out to her when he walked back inside the room but paused in his steps.

He was surprise to see his granddaughter get out of bed but seeing her staring out the window and lost in thoughts, he had an idea of what she was thinking about.

Yue Ling glance down at the children one last time then turn to face her grandfather with a smile.

\”Yeye, you don't have to stay if you are busy. I'll be fine.\”

She spoke as she walks back to sit on the hospital bed.

\”There are nurses and doctors here. If I get bored, I'll go bother Doctor Dong to kill some time.\”

Her words were full of jokes, but Grandfather Ji could only feel his heart ache when he saw her smile.

It was a smile, yet at the same time not a smile.

\”I am your yeye. No matter how busy my schedule is, I will always have time for you and Jingxu.\”

He walks over to the chair by the window and sits down. He did this, because he wanted to make sure that when the nurse comes in with the tray of food, it will be easier to set it up for Yue Ling.

However, because the chair was near the window, he was able to see what she was looking at before he came back to the room.

Grandfather Ji stood near the window and stare down to the children playing in the back courtyard of the hospital. It was then that he knew what he thought was correct.

\”How are the women we rescued? What about Shi Yan and Qin Xue?\”

Yue Ling asks as she fix the blanket over her. Due to this, she did not see that her grandfather had taken a glimpse out the window before sitting down.

\”The young girl, Shi Yan was not in major harm, so she has been reunited with her family.\”

Grandfather Ji answers her then he sighs as he thought back to what had happened.

\”In total of the women rescued, there are 30 alive and 20 deceased. We've already informed news to the families of the deceased. As for the ones rescued, 18 of them sustained minor injuries and have been properly treated and returned to their family. As for the other 10, 6 of them had major injuries and need longer treatment.\”

As his words fell, he couldn't help but heave another long sigh.

He is truly sorry for what happened to these women. No parent ever wishes for anything like this to befall their children.

\”The other 4 women were treated. However, the injury inflicted upon them was not only physically but also mentally that it affected their brain. Due to this, we had to transfer them to a private psychiatric hospital to help them get proper treatment.\”

Listening to her grandfather's explanation of the situation, Yue Ling slowly close her eyes to steady herself.

She cannot imagine the pain and fear these women must have gone through.

Some people that undergo such trauma are mentally able to go on in life normally with help. However, some cannot because the nightmare will continue to haunt their mind whether their eyes are open or closed.

If only she had gotten there sooner. Would she have been able to save them from such fate?

Knowing she cannot rewind time, she takes a deep breath and opens her eyes.

\”I will speak with Doctor Dong and the other hospitals. All the medical fees of each woman alive and the funeral fee for the deceased, I will personally take care of it.\”
