145 Time Is Running Out

Lin Zhiqing was stunned. “What… You said her surname is Lin?”

Jian Qingqing nodded. “That’s right. She has the same surname as you. The village chief said that Granny Lin came to the Jian family village 20 years ago. At that time, she was covered in blood and her face had been destroyed. He asked her but she didn’t say anything. Later on, the village chief took pity on her and gave her a house with no family. After that, she stayed in the Jian Family Village.”

After saying that, Jian Qingqing saw that Lin Zhiqing was just staring at Granny Lin in a daze. He muttered in a trance, “20 years ago… 20 years ago…”

Jian Qingqing felt that Lin Zhiqing and Granny Lin might really know each other. Otherwise, Lin Zhiqing would not have such a reaction.

However, she was not interested in prying into other people’s privacy. Granny Lin still had to wait for a long time before she could do acupuncture. She exited the barrier and left the space for Lin Zhiqing.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened. Wei Wusheng was about to eat. He glanced at Jian Qingqing and asked, “Do you want to eat?”

Jian Qingqing shook her head and asked somewhat emotionally, “How is Granny Lin’s body?”

Wei Wusheng shook his head and sighed, “It’s like a lamp at the end of its life.”

Jian Qingqing was stunned, “Is there no way to treat her?”

Wei Wusheng said, “Her body is like a pocket with a hole in it. There’s not much life left in it. Looking at her condition, it has been a long time and she shouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. The reason why she’s still alive is because of the strength in her heart. She must have suffered a very serious injury in the past and didn’t receive proper treatment. After that, she became depressed. It looks like she hasn’t eaten a normal meal for many years. There’s a problem everywhere in her body and there’s no way to cure it. She can only use expensive medicinal herbs to hang on for these few years.”

After saying that, he asked curiously, “What kind of person is she to that Kid? Why do you and he seem to be very nervous? Also, why are you with him?”

As a doctor, Wei Wusheng had seen all kinds of patients every day. He had seen many people like Granny Lin who were about to die, so he did not feel any emotions in his heart.

After Jian Qingqing heard his words, she was not so carefree. She felt a little depressed and said in annoyance, “I don’t know. Granny Lin is from our village. Lin Zhiqing met her when he went to the Jian Family Village.”

Wei Wusheng seemed to have noticed her frustration, so he shut his mouth and did not speak anymore. He ate his meal obediently.

Lin Zhiqing, who was standing behind a curtain, also heard Wei Wusheng’s words clearly. At this moment, his mood was extremely chaotic and he did not know where to start from.

He could only stare blankly at Granny Lin. His mind was empty and he did not think about anything.

However, Wei Wusheng’s words were still reflected in his mind. He seemed to be muttering unconsciously, “Have you been through a lot these years? What exactly happened back then?”

He suddenly reached out and held Granny Lin’s hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

Lin Zhiqing suppressed his voice and said hoarsely, “I thought you were already dead…”

Lin Zhiqing thought for a long time in there. After an hour, he stood up and walked out, he said to Jian Qingqing, “Miss Jian, I’ll be leaving first. I’ve troubled you today. It’s too late. I’ll get someone to book a room for you at the inn. Don’t go back tonight. Oh right, she… hasn’t woken up yet. When she wakes up, don’t tell her my identity and don’t say anything. This matter is my plea to you. I’ll have to trouble you. I still have to investigate some things. I’ll be leaving first.”

Jian Qingqing nodded. She guessed that Lin Zhiqing was going to find out about Granny Lin. The relationship between them was definitely not simple. This was the first time Lin Zhiqing talked to her so seriously.

As for the secret, she would keep it as long as she could.
