Chapter 244 - 244: Dharma Cultivator’s Grandma
Hai Tang pursed her lips and carefully put the photo of the Dharma Cultivator and Grandma into the handbag she carried with her.
Then, Hai Tang found a few bank cards and related documents in the Dharma Cultivator’s bedroom drawer. Perhaps the Dharma Cultivator was often forgetful, but the bank card’s password was written directly on a piece of paper beside him.
Hai Tang put these things into her bag one by one and felt much more at ease.
With the card and identification of a Dharma Cultivator, he could be transferred to a higher-class private hospital, receive better care, and better protect his privacy.
However, other than the photo of the two of them, there were no other photos in the apartment where the Dharma Cultivator lived.
Hai Tang also found a large stack of expense reports from a foreign laboratory. She did not look at them carefully, but she vaguely remembered that the amount of money was not small.
She then casually packed a few sets of Dharma cultivator clothes and put them into her handbag before preparing to leave.
For some reason, Hai Tang actually felt that the apartment after tidying up seemed even more lonely and empty than before. This was a great contrast to the gossip online about how the superstar Fa Xiu kept several beautiful women at home.
Just as Hai Tang was about to close the door and leave, a sharp bell suddenly rang in the empty apartment.
“Ring, ring, ring-”
The ringtone came from an inconspicuous landline phone placed beside the sofa.
Perhaps it was a call from someone who was concerned about the cultivation of magic. It might be helpful to the current situation.
Hai Tang thought for a moment, then strode forward and answered the call.” Hello?”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment. Then, an old voice probed, “Are you a friend of the Dharma Cultivator?”
The person who called was obviously an old woman. A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Hai Tang’s heart. She replied,” Yes, my name is Hai Tang. May I ask if you are the Dharma Cultivator’s grandmother?” Fa Xiu, he…”
Hai Tang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to tell the old man about the Dharma Cultivator’s car accident and memory loss.
After some consideration, in order to reassure the old man, Hai Tang decided to hide the news of the Dharma Cultivator’s accident and tell the old man a white lie.
‘ He’s not at home these few days. He’s out of town to participate in a competition. I happened to come over to help him clean up and coincidentally received your call,” she added.
” I’m Fa Xiu’s grandmother. I know you, Hai Tang. Fa Xiu told me about you.” Although Grandma Dharma’s voice was weak, it sounded very gentle and dignified.” I see. I’ve been calling him for the past few days, but no one picked up. I thought something had happened to him and was very worried about him.”
Hai Tang hurriedly explained.” His phone broke because of the water. He sent it to the shop for repair. He’s very safe. Don’t worry…”
To prevent the old man from worrying too much, Hai Tang couldn’t help but add,” When he’s free, he’ll definitely call you back.”
“Okay, thank you for taking care of him, cute little girl.” Grandma Fa Xiu replied kindly. She seemed to want to say something more to Hai Tang, but a sudden violent cough forced Grandma Fa Xiu to hang up.” My old habit is acting up again. I’ll hang up first.’
“Yes, yes. Take care of your body!” Hai Tang hurriedly said.
After hanging up the phone, Hai Tang heaved a sigh of relief. She had never met her grandparents, nor did she have any experience with the elderly.
She had decided to hide Grandma Dharma Cultivator’s actions just now because she subconsciously hoped that the old lady would not be too sad.
After seeing the photo from eight years ago, Hai Tang had a hunch that Grandma Fa Xiu’s current physical condition might not be very good, so she did not want the news of Fa Xiu’s accident to hurt her.
Back in the car, Assistant He saw that Hai Tang had already taken back most of the Dharma Cultivator’s things. Suddenly, he said emotionally,” So the Dharma Cultivator has kept himself clean for so many years because of you, my good wife.
Hearing that Assistant He had once again misunderstood her relationship with the Dharma Cultivator, Hai Tang said expressionlessly,” Is there a possibility that I’m really just friends with him?”
“Good, good, good. We are indeed friends.” Assistant He raised a hand to plead for mercy. He winked at Hai Tang mysteriously and said,” This Dharma Cultivator has been working hard to earn money all these years. He doesn’t have time to rest. He must have saved a huge sum of money long ago.” Let him pay for his treatment and change of hospital with his own bank card. If he’s sober, he definitely won’t be willing to let a woman pay for it..”
