871 A Million Times for You 233 (2/2)

”I believe in my judgement. Moreover, with him having grown up in a family that studies medicine, his genes are already full of passion toward it. Having a doctor in the family, why wouldn't I be happy about it?”

”…”

After their walk, she returned to the Sanqiao Estate.

Only after some babbling with Shi Qingzhou did she finally go upstairs.

She leaned against the bedrest and quietly read the book her second Master had left her. It had been some time since she had gotten the book, yet she still had not finished memorizing it.

It was the foremost thing she had to do, so she intended to finish reading and fully grasp it.

She read her book alone in silence, without anyone disturbing her.

She continued reading in one go and finally fell asleep late in the night.

After recovering almost completely at the hospital, Xiao Yue returned to work. Fang Erlan did not expect that she would be willing to continue working and was especially touched.

The two still couldn't help but shudder upon recollecting that night in the ancient town.

However, that incident had also brought Fang Erlan and Jing Shui closer together.

Jing Shui took good care of Fang Erlan on set, which made her rather grateful toward him.

As she had more scenes scheduled today and had to wear in the hot weather an ancient costume that had a few layers, Fang Erlan was somewhat bored. Ever since that night in the ancient town where Fang Erlan had discovered that he had a blind date, she had grown more conscious about keeping a distance between her and Yan Ge.

She had become so self-conscious that every time she recalled the kiss scene they filmed previously, she seriously wondered if she had gone mad. If she had not gone mad, why would she have acted that way?

As such, since that night, they only interacted when they were acting on set. In private, she became more quiet. Even when she went to massage him, she did not speak at all either. It was like she was a completely different person.

Yan Ge noticed such changes as well, but he did not express anything and merely let it be.

”Sis Erlan, there's a call from your family.” Xiao Yue passed her the phone.

Fang Erlan hurriedly went to pick up the call. It was from her brother, who said that their grandmother had been hospitalized for these past few days already and was in a serious condition. He then told Fang Erlan to visit her.

She had to visit her grandmother, of course, but she still had scenes scheduled for her to film.

She could only tell him that she would visit her after work.

While filming the remaining scenes, she obviously could not get into it and, after the director had called her out a few times, she finally forced herself to get into it.

After work, she changed and headed to the city hospital along with her assistant.

Fang Erlan came from an ordinary family and lived with her grandmother since she was young. Her parents, on the other hand, had taken her little brother to the city where they worked.

As such, she had formed an especially close bond with her grandmother and was gripped with anxiety on the way there.

Despite having a tiring day at work, she was still worried about her own grandmother.

When they reached the city, they hurriedly rushed to her ward.

Fang Erlan's mother was there to stay over for the night.

Seeing her arrive, her mother started hitting the roof. ”You only care about your work, you didn't even know that your grandmother was sick. To think that your grandmother has raised you this big.”

The old lady on the hospital bed said to her daughter-in-law in a frustrated tone, ”I was the one who didn't let all of you tell Lanlan. What are you blaming her for?”

”Grandma…” Fang Erlan went forward. ”Hasn't your body always been healthy? Why are you hospitalized?”

”It's nothing much, just some old ailment acting up. Look at you, you've grown thinner again lately. Filming has been tiring, right?”

”No.”

”How can it not be tiring?” the elder said gently. ”It wasn't easy for you to become the female lead. You must do a good job. Acting has always been your dream. Grandma will wait for your show to air and watch it.”

Fang Erlan nodded. ”Then, Grandma, you must recuperate properly. Don't worry about the hospital bills, I'm earning money now.”

The elder responded in a gratified tone, ”There's still your Father, Mother, Uncle, and Aunt. There's no need for you to fork out my hospital bills. You should save your money properly. When you get married next time, your parents won't be able to give you much dowry, so you have to prepare it yourself.”
