After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 189 The consequences are disastrous

I limped downstairs and saw Jiang Yichen. A warm feeling welled up in my heart, and I also remembered Jiang Yichen's worries and care yesterday.

To break the silence, I preemptively said, "I'm going to the hospital for a check-up later, and I'll also visit Grandma while I'm at it."

I know that Jiang Yichen's worries yesterday were not unfounded. If the ankle injury really gets serious, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen gently placed breakfast in front of me and said tenderly, "I'll take you to the hospital."

"Don't you have to go to work today?" I looked at Jiang Yichen in surprise. Today wasn't a day off. If he took me to the hospital, what would happen to the company?

Jiang Yichen chuckled and said confidently, "I'm the company's president. If I have to do everything myself, then what's the point of hiring people?"

I pouted. Although I thought he was a bit narcissistic, I had to agree with what he said. However, we had just argued yesterday, and I was facing him today, so I felt somewhat uneasy. The whole way there, I was anxious, afraid that Jiang Yichen would say something about not letting me participate in the competition again.

However, to my surprise, he did not try to persuade or order me to do anything more. Upon arriving at the hospital, he immediately took me to have my sprained ankle examined.

"Doctor, if he dances now, will it worsen his condition?" Jiang Yichen was very concerned about this question. However, after he asked it, my heart skipped a beat, and I looked at the doctor expectantly, hoping that he wouldn't tell the truth.

The doctor who was prescribing my medicine looked up at me, frowned, and said calmly, "With his foot injured like this, he can't do any strenuous exercise right now and needs to rest."

After listening to the doctor's words, Jiang Yichen revealed a smug look in his eyes, looking at me with a half-smile, as if to say, "See, I told you a long time ago."

I gritted my teeth, steeled my resolve, and calmly said, "Could you prescribe some painkillers for me? I have a very important competition tomorrow, and I just need to be able to endure for an hour."

The doctor asked in confusion, "Does this dance require vigorous jumping and leaping?"

I quickly shook my head: "The dance moves themselves are very simple, and I'm not the main focus. I'm just cooperating with my partner, so there won't be too many moves."

I further explained, "Doctor, my dance moves are very simple, without any strenuous exercise, not even running. I will try my best to avoid any injuries."

The doctor frowned and asked again, "Is it a competition that you absolutely have to participate in?"

I nodded firmly: "Yes, this game is very important to me."

The doctor sighed and said, "If that's the case, I can prescribe some painkillers for you. However, you should also be careful to rest when walking and avoid overexertion, which could make your ankle swell even worse."

Afraid that Jiang Yichen would refuse, I hurriedly replied, "Okay, open it for me now."

At the same time, I gestured to Jiang Yichen with my eyes, hoping he wouldn't object.

Seeing my anxious look, Jiang Yichen shook his head helplessly, but ultimately acquiesced to the doctor's decision.

After the doctor wrote the prescription, my wife and I went to visit Grandma. At that time, Grandma was in the ward discussing with the maid about not taking the medicine. She said, "I have to take this medicine every day. Can I skip it today? It tastes really bad."

"Grandma, this is what the doctor specifically instructed us to take. If you don't take it, it will be very difficult for me. Let's just take the medicine obediently," the maid patiently persuaded.

Standing outside the door, I overheard the conversation inside the ward and couldn't help but laugh. I teased, "Which old lady is so naughty that she won't even take her medicine?"

"Oh, Momo's here!" Grandma greeted us happily. "Come in, come in! It's been so long since you've come to see me. I've been so bored here. It's perfect that you're here. Keep Grandma company and have a chat."

Seeing Grandma acting like a child, I couldn't help but laugh and quickly said, "Grandma, let's take our medicine first, and then we can chat, okay?"

As I spoke, I took the medicine from the maid and handed it to Grandma, carefully blowing on it to cool it down. Grandma looked at the medicine with reluctance, but still secretly glanced at us and asked, "Do I really have to take this medicine?" We nodded earnestly.

Finally, under our watchful eyes, Grandma reluctantly swallowed the medicine, and then quickly drank a large gulp of water.

I turned to look at Jiang Yichen. He gently raised his wrist, stared at the time, then bent down and said gently to my grandmother, "I still have some business to attend to at my company, so let Gu Mo stay and keep you company."

Grandma glanced at Jiang Yichen, a smile playing on her lips, and quickly waved her hand, saying, "You should go now, don't disturb our conversation." Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly, gently patted my shoulder, and said in a gentle tone, "I'm free at noon, I'll come over and have lunch with you."

I didn't answer. Thinking back on the way here, Jiang Yichen had already received several phone calls, clearly busy with company matters. As for lunch, my grandmother and I could manage on our own.

Grandma seemed a little impatient with Jiang Yichen's nagging and urged him repeatedly, "We'll take care of lunch ourselves, so don't worry about it." Jiang Yichen called out "Grandma" helplessly, but she ignored him completely, only holding my hand and asking with concern, "What interesting things have happened lately? You haven't come to see me for so long."

I replied with a smile, "No, Grandma, I've been busy with competitions lately, so I haven't had time. That's why I came to see you as soon as I had some free time."

So we started chatting casually, and Jiang Yichen didn't press the matter further. He turned around and silently left the ward.

After Jiang Yichen left, I pushed my grandmother in her wheelchair for a leisurely stroll along the garden path. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

"Grandma, this whole thing is my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to stay here for so long," I said, filled with guilt and self-reproach.

Grandma gently patted my hand, her face beaming with a kind smile, and said gently, "How can I blame you? I'm not in good health, and they usually don't want to take me out for walks. Only you don't mind this old woman. Besides, what happened last time was entirely the fault of those passersby. What does it have to do with you?"

Grandma seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery, and asked me in a deliberately serious tone, "You haven't come to see Grandma for so long, are you deliberately avoiding me because of that matter?"
