Chapter 1856: Chapter 1854: Keeping Promises
At this moment, Luo Fan was arranging for people to investigate his parentsâ whereabouts and the people and events they came into contact with abroad.
Some things canât be based solely on suspicion; evidence is necessary.
But in his heart, he really hoped that his parents were just being used and not actively involved.
In the dead of night, Elder Luo and Grandma Luo were tossing and turning, unable to sleep because they mentioned their eldest son, so they got up again.
Elder Luo said in a low voice, "Iâve been so busy with my career over the years that Iâve neglected my family, but I never expected that a moment of carelessness could implicate Yeye."
Grandma Luo disagreed, "Even if youâre busy with work, theyâve never lacked anything theyâre entitled to. The second son, the third son, and our daughter are all fine. How come these two are always causing trouble? In hindsight, we shouldnât have taken Fanâs parents today and ignored them instead."
"This matter is fine to keep between Luo Fan and Qianqian, but since it involves the Qin Family, we have no choice but to inform them."
"Of course, you must tell them. That evil-minded Si Family, how shameless! Not only are they eyeing the Qin Familyâs company, but also Qiaoqiaoâs younger sister. How conceited must he be to think that Gu Qianqian would marry his son?" Grandma Luo said angrily.
"Indeed, thatâs something I canât understand. The Si Family and their son are both abroad, so how did they end up with Qianqian? Itâs ridiculous."
Grandma Luo let out a long, exasperated sigh.
Elder Luo hurriedly said, "Alright, donât be angry anymore. Letâs just leave it at that for now."
Suddenly, Grandma Luo became melancholy.
She whispered, "The hospital called me the day before yesterday, saying that our eldest grandsonâs current physical condition is stable, but his cerebellum is starting to shrink. If this continues, even if he wakes up, heâll be a useless person, with an intelligence level below a three-year-old."
Elder Luo had been very busy lately and hadnât been in touch with the hospital, but it had only been a week. He frowned and said, "That canât be right. A week ago, the doctor told me everything was normal, and there was some hope he could wake up. Whatâs going on?"
"Iâm not a doctor, how would I know?"
Grandma Luo continued in a low voice, "I feel really upset. We were starting to see hope these past six months, but if his cerebellum shrinks, even if he wakes up, heâll be like a three-year-old."
Thinking of her handsome grandson made her heart feel like it was being pierced by thousands of arrows.
Elder Luo frowned tightly, unconsciously touching the amulet on his neck, which was given to him by Qiaoqiao. His wife, Yeye, has one as well.
After getting to know Qiaoqiao, he thickened his face and asked for another one from her.
That was also given to his eldest grandson.
It was two years ago.
Since putting on this amulet, Luo Ye had shown clear signs of improvement, albeit slowly, but it could already be considered a miracle.
Because before that, Luo Ye was nearly at deathâs door.
In his heart, he hadnât really held much hope but considered it destiny for Yeye. When he met Gu Qiaoqiao, he truly rekindled hope.
However, he was very measured in his actions, and he wasnât in a position to expect Gu Qiaoqiao to do anything, especially since this wasnât an injury.
Moreover, he had personally promised Gu Qiaoqiao that he wouldnât tell anyone about that matter, and indeed, he hadnât disclosed a word to anyone else, including his closest wife.
As a person, perhaps not monumental, but one must keep promises, even if itâs his own grandson.
He doesnât believe in ghosts or gods, but sometimes he believes in the laws of nature.
Just like riding a bike to an intersection, he would eventually choose a path to move forward.
So he patiently waited, and when Qin Yize woke up from his coma, it gave him even more hope.
But Qin Yizeâs situation was different from his own grandsonâs.
Plus, Qin Yize was, after all, Gu Qiaoqiaoâs husband. There were too many things beyond her control â he knew in his heart that as long as his grandson wore the amulet given by Qiaoqiao, even if he didnât wake up, his body wouldnât have major problems.
But when he thought of this, Elder Luo suddenly realized, and his gaze tightened â something was wrong. Why did the cerebellum suddenly shrink?
He hurriedly asked, "Wife, is our eldest grandson still wearing his amulet on his neck?"
Grandma Luo was taken aback for a moment. She knew this amulet was obtained with much effort by her husband, who even flew abroad to put it on their grandson. She quickly shook her head, "Theyâre so far away, I donât know anything about it."
A feeling of unease rose in Elder Luoâs heart.
He immediately went to the study without another word and called the overseas hospital. The hospital was owned by the Luo Family, but to facilitate management, a friend of his held a 30% share, so Elder Luoâs call was answered right away and quickly transferred to his eldest grandson Luo Yeâs ward.
The one who answered the phone was his granddaughter-in-law, Su Ye.
"...Grandpa," Su Ye quickly spoke on the other end of the phone.
"Su Ye, tell Grandpa, is the amulet on your husbandâs neck, the one I personally put on him two years ago, still there?"
Su Ye on the other end clearly hesitated.
"What happened? Is it still there or not?" Elder Luoâs voice became a bit stern.
"...Grandpa, my mother-in-law took that amulet away." Su Yeâs voice sounded anxious and uneasy.
Elder Luoâs mind went blank, and biting his teeth, he gripped the receiver hard, using all his restraint not to throw the phone, "...Didnât I repeatedly emphasize that the amulet must be worn at all times and never taken off? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Su Yeâs voice trembled a bit, "Grandpa, my mother-in-law came a week ago. She said she wanted to return to the country and wanted to see Luo Ye before leaving, then claimed she brought an amulet from the church. Without another word, she swapped out the one you had put on him."
"And where is the amulet I gave?" Elder Luo almost roared.
"I donât know. When I tried to ask my mother-in-law for it, she hit me, knocking my head into the wall. When I woke up, she was already gone."
At that moment, Elder Luo almost felt murderous. He tightly clenched the receiver, speaking each word with determination, "Why didnât you tell me immediately?"
Su Ye on the other end fell silent, her heart full of grievances. What could she say?
"...Grandpa, Iâm sorry, itâs my fault. I intended to tell you these past few days, but I just started feeling a bit better today. I have a concussion, and Luo Yeâs condition isnât very good either. Grandpa, Iâm sorry, itâs all my fault, boohoo..."
On the other end, Su Ye finally couldnât help but cry.
