Lu Yuan did have something to do in the afternoon.

His grandfather, Lu Yueping, had undergone a cerebral infarction surgery four or five days ago.

Because of the exams, his family had not allowed him to visit.

Taking advantage of the end of the exams today, Lu Yuan planned to go to the hospital.

The distance from No. 4 High School to Jiao Yan City First Hospital, where his grandfather had the surgery, was about seven or eight kilometers.

Lu Yuan didn't take the bus, he just walked there.

Running in the middle of the day seemed a bit strange, so Lu Yuan ran and walked, and finally arrived at the hospital entrance twenty minutes later.

[Your Basic Footwork has improved, Experience +2]

"This seven or eight kilometers wasn't a waste."

Lu Yuan looked at the prompt that popped up on the panel and wiped the sweat from his forehead with satisfaction.

With a Constitution of 10, he had reached the level of an "elite" among normal adult males.

Lu Yuan was full of energy and stamina. He didn't feel tired after walking seven or eight kilometers, just hot.

Fortunately, the hospital was cool enough.

After asking the nurse where the inpatient department was, Lu Yuan followed the directions and found his grandfather's ward smoothly.

Pushing the door open, he saw the weak and kind old man lying on the hospital bed at a glance.

And Lu Xinghua, who was sitting by the bed peeling an apple.

"Grandpa! Dad."

Lu Yuan called out twice and glanced around the ward.

Grandpa Lu Yueping was staying in the most ordinary double ward.

There was another patient in the ward, separated by a blue curtain. He couldn't see the specific situation inside, only a faint cough could be heard.

"Xiao Yuan is here."

Lu Yueping saw Lu Yuan and recognized him after a while.

With a smile on his face, he struggled to sit up from the bed.

Lu Yuan hurried over.

"Don't get up, just lie down."

"It's just a minor surgery, not that serious."

Lu Yueping insisted on sitting up from the bed and held Lu Yuan's hand tightly.

With the level of medical care in this world, cerebral infarction surgery was indeed just a minor surgery.

What had always put pressure on Lu Yuan's family was not the risk of the surgery, but the rather high cost of the surgery.

"Why are you here? It's so hot in the middle of the day."

Lu Yueping looked at his grandson with a smile.

Lu Yuan replied: "The exams just finished today, and we have the afternoon off, so I wanted to come and see you."

"How were the exams?"

Lu Xinghua handed the peeled apple to Lu Yueping and asked Lu Yuan.

"Top three is guaranteed."

Lu Yuan replied.

Lu Xinghua frowned: "Didn't you get second place in the class last time? Why is the goal still top three this time?"

"I meant top three in the grade... Thank you, Grandpa!"

The apple that Lu Xinghua peeled for Lu Yueping was stuffed into Lu Yuan's hand by Lu Yueping.

Lu Yuan didn't refuse and took a big bite, chewing it with juice filling his mouth.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"You're just bragging, last time you were sixteenth, this time you want to be in the top three..."

Lu Xinghua scolded him with a smile, but his face looked much better.

This was also Lu Yuan's purpose.

Unlike when he answered Cheng Peng, he deliberately exaggerated a little in front of his father.

"You'll see if I'm bragging or not when the results come out."

Lu Yuan bit the apple confidently, while Lu Yueping watched with a smile.

Lu Xinghua wanted to ask something else, but suddenly his phone rang.

He glanced at it and quickly walked out of the ward.

"Watch your grandpa, if anything happens, press the button above and call the nurse."

"Okay."

Lu Yuan watched Lu Xinghua go out and sat in the ward watching Lu Yueping without saying anything.

Lu Yueping's eyes had not left Lu Yuan since he entered the door.

He pulled him up and down to look him over.

"Your dad said you recently signed up for some kind of fighting class to learn martial arts..."

Lu Yueping reached out and squeezed Lu Yuan's arm, satisfied: "This money was not wasted.

You've grown taller and stronger, not like the sickly look you used to have."

"I'm not bragging, Grandpa.

I'm quite strong now. When summer vacation comes, I'll take care of all the acres of land you planted in the countryside."

Lu Yuan patted his chest, making Lu Yueping laugh out loud.

Lu Yuan's grandmother passed away a few years ago, and his grandfather Lu Yueping had been living alone in the countryside.

Lu Xinghua tried several times to bring him to the city, but he refused, so they had to let him be.

However, after this cerebral infarction incident, it is estimated that the father and son will have another tug-of-war over this matter.

Lu Yuan chatted with Lu Yueping for a while when suddenly Lu Xinghua, who had just gone out to make a phone call, rushed in.

"I have something to do and need to go out right now. Lu Yuan, take good care of your grandpa, I'll be back soon."

"Oh."

Lu Yuan stood up and replied, but before he could say anything else, Lu Xinghua had already turned around and left in a hurry.

The phone in his hand seemed to be still on, and he could vaguely hear his voice after he left the ward.

"...Keep an eye on him! I'm coming over now!"

"This bastard! Finally willing to show his face!"

Lu Yuan listened to the content of Lu Xinghua's phone call and guessed that it might still be related to the person who owed their family a sum of money for goods.

Lu Xinghua seemed to have found the person's whereabouts and was now running to catch him.

Hopefully, it will go smoothly.

Lu Yuan prayed silently for his father, and then concentrated on watching his grandfather.

Lu Xinghua said he would be back soon.

But he never came back.

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Yuan first accompanied Lu Yueping to talk, and then watched TV with him.

In the middle, he called the nurse to change the IV drip twice.

When Lu Yueping was sleeping and resting, he, who couldn't sit still, ran to the stairwell of the inpatient department to do physical training.

When he was doing knuckle push-ups like crazy, he was bumped into by two young nurses. They looked at him strangely, thinking he was a patient who had escaped from the psychiatric department next door.

"Go get your grandpa some food, the canteen is downstairs in the inpatient department.

I'll be back later."

When it was almost time for dinner, Lu Xinghua called and said in a slightly tired voice.

Lu Yuan obediently said yes and told Lu Xinghua not to worry, he could take good care of things here.

Hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan sighed softly.

It seemed that things were not going well for his father.

Lu Yuan said goodbye to Lu Yueping and went downstairs to get food.

He only got food for Lu Yueping and planned to go down to the canteen to eat after his grandfather finished eating.

He had a big appetite now, about two or three times that of an average person.

If he packed it, he would need seven or eight lunch boxes, and after eating, one trash can wouldn't be enough.

Just as Lu Yuan was carrying the lunch box and about to walk up the stairs, suddenly...

A voice pierced through the layers of noise in the lobby of the inpatient department like a sharp thorn and entered his ears.

"...Eighth floor, bed sixteen, Yang Jiandong."

"I'm his friend."

"Okay, thank you."

Lu Yuan suddenly turned his head in the direction of the voice.

He saw a familiar figure walking towards the elevator from the direction of the nurses' station.

Lin Zhiqin!

Lu Yuan recognized that this figure was Lin Zhiqin, the coach of their Source Martial Arts School fighting class.

"Why is Coach Lin at the hospital?

What was the name of the patient he just asked the nurses' station about?

It seemed to be Yang Jiandong?"

With a Constitution of 10, Lu Yuan's hearing was also beyond ordinary people. This time, he accidentally discovered Lin Zhiqin's figure in the hospital.

"Yang Jiandong is sick and hospitalized?

Coach Lin also came to see him, are they that close?"

Lu Yuan's mind was filled with doubts.

Driven by strong curiosity, after he took the food back to the ward and served his grandfather Lu Yueping,

He didn't go downstairs to eat immediately, but quietly went to the eighth floor of the inpatient department.
