A cold and serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Momo, Grandma's condition isn't good. You need to come to the hospital right away."

Jiang Momo felt her blood freeze, and her mind went blank the moment she heard those words.

"I...I understand, I'll be right there."

She tried hard to control her voice so that it didn't tremble too much, but she couldn't even hang up the phone.

Be careful on the road, I'm here for you.

Wen Shiyi comforted her for a moment, and Jiang Momo nodded with trembling body. She slid to the backstage, made several mistakes, and finally managed to get a taxi.

A sudden clap of thunder flashed across the horizon, dark clouds rolled in, and a torrential downpour began in a short while.

It hit her, but Jiang Momo didn't feel any pain at all.

She waited in the heavy rain, every minute and every second was agonizing.

The car finally arrived, but the road to the hospital, which is usually clear, was completely blocked today.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Momo got off the car and braved the rain to grab a shared bicycle from the roadside and ride over.

By the time she arrived at the hospital, her grandmother had already been taken to the emergency room.

Jiang Momo was breathless and grabbed the nurse beside her, asking frantically, "The patient, how is the patient?"

"Momo, calm down."

Behind her, a hand rested on her shoulder.

Jiang Momo turned around and saw that familiar face, and all her anxiety was released in an instant.

"Senior Wen, how is my grandma?"

Wen Shiyi was Jiang Momo's senior in college. Although they were not in the same major, they had participated in the same club and had known each other for many years.

Ever since Grandma was transferred to this hospital, it has been Wen Xuechang who has been helping Jiang Momo take care of her condition.

"Don't worry, we've already started treatment on Grandma. You should go change your clothes first, they're all soaked."

Jiang Momo shook her head, exhausted, and held her forehead.

"It's okay, I'll wait for Grandma here."

Grandma has been sick for so long, and this is not the first time she has been resuscitated.

But no matter how many times she experienced this, Jiang Momo still found it difficult to accept calmly.

In the end, it was Wen Shiyi who told her that her grandmother would worry, so Jiang Momo went to the lounge to change her clothes.

When she came out, her grandmother had also been transferred back to a regular ward, but she had many machines attached to her body to monitor her vital signs.

Jiang Momo stood at the door of the ward, hesitant to step inside for a long time.

Grandma opened her eyes in the ward, her voice weak:

"Is it my Momo who's here?"

With just one sound, Jiang Momo could no longer hold back her tears.

She took two deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, forced a smile, and then went inside.

"Grandma, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

The first time Grandma saw her, her eyes were filled with heartache.

"I'm fine, but you, were you crying again?"

Jiang Momo sat by the hospital bed, turning her head slightly away so that her grandmother wouldn't see her tears.

"alright."

Grandma's rough hands held Jiang Momo's hands and gently stroked them.

"I'm fine, and there are so many doctors and nurses at the hospital. Xiao Wen and Xiao Yin come to see me from time to time, so don't worry."

"But……"

Jiang Momo didn't even have the courage to say those words.

In just a few days, Grandma has already been rescued twice.

And what about in the future? There will only be more and more.

"It's really nothing, you don't need to take time off to come here."

Jiang Momo calmed herself down.

She knew very well that if she acted too distressed, it wouldn't help her grandmother's condition; on the contrary, it would only make her more worried.

So he could only suppress his worries and change the subject.

"I understand, Grandma. I'll come to the hospital to keep you company often these next few days. Tell me if there's anything you want to eat, and I'll make it for you this afternoon and bring it over."

She bent down and pressed her grandmother's hand against her face.

"Just like when we were kids, you would go out to work, and I would stay home to cook and deliver the food to you in the fields."

When talking about the past, the old man, who had been hospitalized for many years and whose eyes were almost lifeless from the torment of illness, actually showed a hint of longing.

"Before..." Her voice was very soft, so soft that even if there were no other sounds in the ward, Jiang Momo had to try very hard to hear it.

"Those were such good old days. If I could, I'd like to go back and visit them again."

Although life in the countryside was poor, it was the most relaxed time the grandfather and grandson had ever lived.

"Okay, Grandma, I promise you, I'll take you back home once you're better."

"Did you know what? I heard that the slum where our family used to live has been demolished and turned into a famous tourist attraction."

"If I earn more money, we can treat it as a vacation when we go back."

Grandma was engrossed in Jiang Momo's description, slowly closed her eyes, and responded intermittently.

"Big cities are great in every way, but the air and scenery can't compare to the countryside, and the expenses are too high."

"Momo..."

Grandma called her, and Jiang Momo went over and stood close to her grandma.

"In the hospital, tell the doctors to save money on medications and such, and spend more money on themselves. Don't make yourselves suffer, do you hear me?"

Jiang Momo closed her eyes, barely managing to suppress her tears.

"Of course I know," she said, feigning nonchalance. "Grandma, I've got a better job now, I earn 50,000 yuan a month, so you don't need to worry about money."

"Okay, my Momo is amazing..."

After saying these words, Grandma's breathing gradually became long and even, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that her grandmother was asleep, Jiang Momo still didn't dare to cry. It wasn't until she left the ward that she leaned against the wall and sobbed softly.

Soon, through the blurry vision, someone handed me a piece of paper.

"Let's wipe it first."

Jiang Momo looked up and saw that Wen Shiyi had arrived.

"Senior Wen, my grandma..."

She could barely finish the sentence.

Wen Shiyi lowered his head and sighed.

With just this one action, Jiang Momo understood completely.

She bit her lower lip, feeling numbness in her limbs, and it took her a long time to find her voice.

"Isn't there any other way?"

No matter how much it costs, she will do it as long as it can save her grandmother.

"We have done everything we can, but the situation is not very optimistic. Surgery will have to be performed within three months."

"If we succeed, we can prolong Grandma's life; otherwise, her condition will worsen, and the consequences..."

"Let's do it, we'll have the surgery." Jiang Momo now placed all her hopes on Wen Shiyi. "Senior, money isn't a problem, I'll find a way to earn it."

"Momo, listen to me, it's not as simple as you think."

But Jiang Momo couldn't listen to anything at that moment.

She looked at Wen Shiyi with longing, even wishing that her grandmother could be taken into the operating room right now.

"To perform this surgery, and with subsequent treatment, the total cost will be..."

"It needs three million."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Momo suddenly loosened her clenched fist.
