Chapter 250 Things Have Become Very Complicated
After Wu Xingzhou returned, did anyone else come to see him?
Wu Zhao stared at the black cat for a few seconds before looking away.
When the black cat saw that she didn't move, it lay back down.
The black aura emanating from its body continued to rise and gradually spread throughout the ward.
The ominous black aura made Wu Zhao frown, and she stopped Wei Wenxue from entering the house.
"Is something wrong? Only the hospital doctor came to see me yesterday, no one else... there shouldn't be any others."
"Or we can ask Da Tian later. He was the one who stayed here with us yesterday."
Wei Wenxue stopped and thought for a moment before speaking. He said that he had spent the whole day yesterday in his teacher's hospital room and didn't know the full situation here.
The caregiver inside was an elderly man with a kind and honest appearance.
Seeing that they were standing by the door and hadn't come in, he stood up somewhat awkwardly.
"Hello, hello, are you here to visit a patient?"
He didn't know Wu Zhao, but he had met Wei Wenxue once.
"Uncle Li, don't be nervous, just sit down."
As Wei Wenxue spoke, he looked at Wu Zhao beside him.
“This Uncle Li is a caregiver arranged by the hospital. He was worried that Wenwen and her sister-in-law, two women, wouldn’t be able to take good care of Brother Xingzhou.”
"Since my sister-in-law isn't here, Uncle Li is helping to look after her."
Upon hearing Wei Wenxue's address, Wu Zhao's eyelids twitched.
He was Professor Wu's student, as was He Wen.
The two are related as uncle and nephew, and also as fellow disciples.
This relationship actually made Wu Zhao want to laugh.
Seeing that Wu Zhao's expression seemed to be trying to laugh, Wei Wenxue had obviously thought of it as well.
He awkwardly touched his nose.
"There's nothing I can do about it. This is what happens when you join early... Da Tian came later and wasn't as embarrassed as me. I've also spent more time with Brother Xingzhou and his wife."
"I've watched Wenwen grow up, so there's no particular way to address her."
They are already family to each other.
From the moment Professor Wu's family began to treat Wei Wenxue, who came from the mountains, as their own junior, Wei Wenxue had already become part of their family.
During the years that Wu Xingzhou and his wife were missing, Wei Wenxue was fulfilling his responsibilities as a son.
Wu Zhao could see that he had developed a deep bond with the Wu family, and couldn't help but sigh.
People who are not related by blood can be so considerate of each other, while those who are related by blood are always scheming against each other...
Thinking of Wu Ling and his son, Wu Zhao's smile froze for a moment.
Seeing that they were standing there without moving, Uncle Li warmly invited them in.
"The patient hasn't woken up yet, I've only helped him turn over and things like that. Come in and take a look, the doctor said he just needs to rest."
The black aura swirled around Uncle Li, but it did not harm him.
Wu Zhao sized up the honest-looking man and pondered for a moment.
"I won't go in. I already have a pretty good idea of what's going on."
She gave Wei Wenxue a wink, then turned and left.
"Uncle Li, please take care of Xingzhou first. We'll be leaving now. If your wife and Wenwen come over, please tell them."
Uncle Li was a little confused, but he still responded and sat down after the door was closed.
"That's strange, they come to see the patient but don't come in..."
The black cat lying on the pillow squinted its eyes and lazily yawned.
……
Wei Wenxue caught up with Wu Zhao in a few quick steps.
"Is there some external force preventing Brother Xingzhou from waking up?"
He asked with some concern.
Wu Zhao shook his head, not answering him for the time being.
"Things have taken a turn for the worse, but don't worry, I can handle it. Don't tell Professor Wu and the others about this yet; they'll probably be worried if they find out."
"Professor Wu seems to be experiencing some health issues. Please have the doctors give him another full-body check-up as soon as possible."
She gave a brief explanation and noticed that Wei Wenxue's face turned pale.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Patting Wei Wenxue on the shoulder, Wu Zhao reassured him.
"Don't make it too obvious when we get back. I'll leave with Weiwei later."
Wei Wenxue took a deep breath and nodded.
He calmed his breathing and then walked with Wu Zhao toward Professor Wu's ward.
"I know what to do, don't worry. I'll find a way to appease the teachers. As for Brother Xingzhou's matter... I'll leave it to you, Master Wu."
Wei Wenxue thanked him very sincerely.
He exuded an aura of purity and integrity, which made Wu Zhao's expression somewhat complicated.
He reminds me of that minister from the Eastern Xuan Kingdom who died on the jade steps after remonstrating with a foolish emperor.
What was that man's name again...?
"Senior brothers, you're back!"
Huo Weiwei saw the two people walking over and raised her hand to greet them.
"Come quick, Wenwen and Aunt Yu are here."
Wu Zhao snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and walked over.
The room became more lively with more people, and Professor He also came over from the ward next door.
Right now, the group of people are sitting together drinking the chicken soup that Hu Datian brought over.
A faint medicinal scent filled the ward.
“This was brewed by my mother with some medicinal herbs. She said it’s good for replenishing qi and blood, so she asked me to bring it over for my teacher and his wife.”
Hu Datian said with a smile, his expression showing a hint of pride.
"Datian's mother's ancestors were imperial chefs, and she herself is also an excellent private chef. We occasionally get to eat her cooking, and it tastes absolutely amazing."
Professor Wu smacked his lips, a satisfied expression on his face.
Wu Zhao glanced at Professor He and He Wen again, and calmed himself down slightly.
It seems that only Wu Xingzhou had a problem; the rest of his family members did not have any trace of that black energy.
why is that……?
Completely baffled, Wu Zhao silently began to turn the ring on his hand.
After exchanging pleasantries with He Wen for a while, Huo Weiwei smiled somewhat shyly.
"I said I came to visit my teacher and his wife, but I ended up chatting with them myself."
"Don't disturb the teachers' rest, I won't bother them any longer today."
She stood up and walked over to Wu Zhao, only to find her playing with the ring in a daze.
Professor Wu didn't feel disturbed; in fact, he found the ward rather quiet and rather boring.
"It's okay, if you have something else to do, go ahead and take care of it. I don't think I'll stay in the hospital for more than a few days, I'll be discharged in a couple of days."
He Wen smiled and draped a blanket over his legs before sitting down next to Professor He.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm so glad you're both alright. We can go home together once Dad wakes up!"
He Wen was very excited after returning, and they were all aware of her excitement.
How could one not be happy when one's parents have come back to life?
Huo Weiwei couldn't help but feel happy for her good friend He Wen as she thought about how she had stumbled and struggled to grow up over the years.
After she reached out and took her arm, Huo Weiwei leaned close to Wu Zhao's ear and whispered, "Let's go."
Hu Datian and He Weiwen were going back to rest and to take care of Wu Xingzhou, so they had already left.
Wu Zhao sensed Huo Weiwei's approach and looked up.
"Well, let's go too."
"Didn't you want to go shopping? Let's shop around for a bit before going home."
After saying goodbye to Professor Wu and his family, Wu Zhao and Huo Weiwei left the hospital.
Before leaving, Wu Zhao touched the ring on his hand.
A faint light flowed across the ring, and a cool breeze stirred the curtains by the window.
A slight ripple was stirred.
