Chapter 448 - A great joy! (2/2)
“No, Lil’ Bao is fine. Hurry up and come back with Hui Ci. Lil’ Bao’s leg has recovered. Lil’ Bao can walk now!” exclaimed Elder Zheng.
Suddenly.
The other end of the call was silent.
After some time, Zheng Hai Feng’s voice stuttered through the phone, “Dad, what did you say?”
Elder Zheng said, “Lil’ Bao can walk. His leg is fine. His leg has recovered!”
“Dad, are you kidding me? Lil’ Bao…” Zheng Hai Feng was in disbelief. To him, perhaps this was a joke by his father. But he knew his father’s personality. His father would never crack such a joke. Then the only other possibility was that Lil’ Bao’s leg…had really recovered.
“I’m not joking! Hurry back with Hui Ci. Your Mom and I don’t know how this happened either. We’ll bring Lil’ Bao to the hospital for a check-up at once,” said Elder Zheng emotionally.
Elder was emotional. He was even more emotional than his son. This was his grandson! His children were always busy every day and his love towards his grandson became deeper and deeper everyday. Now that his grandson could suddenly stand up, it was as if the heavens had opened his eyes.
“Dad, I’m coming back now. I’ll be quick…” Zheng Hai Feng hastily hung up, then without thinking much, he immediately called Hui Ci and told her to hurry back.
He held a post in the army and Hui Ci was his wife whom he met in the cultural department.
In the house.
Elder Zheng paced back and forth in the living room. His mind was in a mess and he was lost in thoughts for a long time. He couldn’t figure out how exactly this had happened.
Xiu Fang helped her grandson to change his clothes, then carried him out from the toilet. She didn’t want to let go of him. Her palm kept touching Lil’ Bao’s leg and she didn’t let go for a long time.
“Lil’ Bao, take a few steps for Grandpa to see. Tell Grandpa why you can suddenly walk.” Elder Zheng asked him.
Lil’ Bao looked at his Grandpa in a daze. “Grandpa, Lil’ Bao can walk now because Lil’ Bao has grown up. Isn’t it like Grandpa said? Now that Lil’ Bao can walk, it’s because Lil’ Bao has grown up.
When Elder Zheng heard this, he didn’t know what to say.
This explanation was indeed what he had made up last time. At that time, Lil’ Bao had asked him why he was different from the other children.
Elder Zheng had been afraid that the child would be upset, so he made up an explanation, while he planned to find a way to treat Lil’ Bao’s leg. But they knew that there was little hope and they could only wait for Lil’ Bao to grow up and perhaps understand the situation himself.
But he never thought that Lil’ Bao would suddenly be able to walk. He really wanted to know the reason for that but perhaps, they wouldn’t be able to get an explanation from Lil’ Bao.
Soon after.
Elder Zheng’s son and his wife returned. His wife, in particular, when she received the news, was completely dumbfounded. She asked about it numerous times and still didn’t believe it was true. This was what she dreamt about every day. Now that she had received this news, she really couldn’t dare to believe it. She couldn’t even recover from her shock.
“Dad, where’s Lil’ Bao?” Nian Hui Ci pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Lil’ Bao running around the room by himself, she stood there and covered her mouth. Her eyes had turned red as tears dripped down her face.
“Mama…” Lil’ Bao ran over happily and tugged on the corner of her shirt. “Mama, why are you crying?”
“Lil’ Bao.” Nian Hui Ci immediately embraced her child and didn’t say anything for a long while.
Zheng Hai Feng’s had a firm personality. But when he saw this scene, he couldn’t resist getting emotional too. Then, he went over to Elder Zheng and asked, “Dad, how did this happen?”
Elder Zheng shook his head, “I don’t know either. Right now, don’t think about anything else. Hurry and bring Lil’ Bao to the hospital for a check. Find out what exactly is happening. We can’t raise our hopes and then be disappointed again later on!”
