Lin Xiao was startled. "Don't cry," he said hurriedly. "What happened to your grandfather?"
At his words, Chu Xiangxue began to cry even harder.
"Yesterday, my grandfather fell while he was out. He was immediately taken to the hospital and has been in the ICU ever since. His condition has only gotten worse, and just now, the hospital issued a critical condition notice. They said… they said he might not make it through tomorrow!"
By the time she finished, Chu Xiangxue was sobbing inconsolably.
Lin Xiao's heart sank. He knew Chu Xiangxue's grandfather was in poor health. After all, his master, the Sect Master of Immortal Medicine, had extended the man's life on more than one occasion.
"Okay, I understand. Don't be afraid, I'm on my way," Lin Xiao said in a deep voice.
But Chu Xiangxue cried, "Daddy, thank you for the thought, but you don't need to come. I'm just so upset and needed someone to talk to!"
