Doctor Xie snorted at Song Yan’s words and said, "At least you are acknowledging your fault and can be taught."
Since he still needed to visit other patients, he touched Li Shu’s head and said, "Xiao Shu, I will see you later."
"Brother Yan, if you are busy, you don’t have to come see me all the time," Li Shu said with a smile.
Song Yan nodded to her and left the ward with the young doctors and nurses who were stunned by how gentle he treated Li Shu.
After he left, Doctor Xie said, "Xiao Shu, after you are discharged from the hospital, do you want to live with grandpa?"
Hearing this, Li Shu nodded and said, "Grandpa, I want to live with you. My grandma has Shitou and doesn’t need me to accompany her."
Although she concealed the truth, Doctor Xie was not a fool and knew that Aunt Li must have said something to her.
While he was grateful that they raised his granddaughter, he also didn’t like that they treated his granddaughter as a servant.
Therefore, after hearing her words, Doctor Xie understood that Aunt Li might have told his granddaughter to move out. He was angry but still had a smile on his face. He decided to stop treating Aunt Li well in his heart.
He patted his granddaughter’s hand and said, "Okay. From now on, you can do whatever you want and eat until you are full. Grandpa will try his best to give you everything you want."
Hearing this, Li Shu’s eyes lit up and asked, "Grandpa, will you really give me everything I want?"
"Of course! Just tell your Grandpa what you want."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Shu asked, "Grandpa, can I go to school? I want to study like other children."
At first, Doctor Xie thought she wanted a nice dress or new shoes. So he was surprised when he heard that she just wanted to go to school. Thinking of his late wife and daughter, both of whom loved reading above all else, he smiled.
Doctor Xie was afraid that his granddaughter would be worried if she saw him sad, so he suppressed his sadness and said, "Okay. When we return to the village, Grandpa will register you at school. But you have to promise Grandpa that you must study hard and do your best."
Li Shu was overjoyed when he heard this. With a smile on her face, she said firmly, "Grandpa, I promise that I will study hard and won’t let you down."
"Okay! Now, you must finish breakfast and take a good rest. Only with a healthy body can you do whatever you want to do in the future," Doctor Xie smiled and patted his granddaughter’s hand tenderly.
