Chapter 73
"Didn't Grandpa Lin's condition get worse? How is he now? Is he feeling better?"
Baffled by Shi Yao's questions, the driver stammered, "I-I guess?"
I guess? What kind of answer is that?
Shi Yao frowned . "Didn't you say that Auntie Sun called you earlier? Didn't she update you?"
While she spoke, she reached for the phone in her bag . "I'll call Auntie Sun then…"
"Don't!" Horrified, the driver hurriedly stomped on the brake and turned to Shi Yao .
After seeing the driver look like he was about to snatch her phone, Shi Yao's frown deepened .
Facing Shi Yao's expression, the driver also noticed that his reaction might have been too violent, so he quickly smiled . "That's not it, Miss Shi . What I mean is that it's not a convenient time for you to call Auntie Sun . Think about it, Auntie Sun is currently accompanying Old Master Lin in the hospital, and she is also bound to be tired after busying herself for the entire day . If you called her now, not only will you disturb Auntie Sun, you might even wake up Old Master Lin as well…"
" . . . Besides, since Auntie Sun took the effort to call, it means that Old Master Lin must be fine . Otherwise, how could she have the time to contact me?"
Shi Yao felt that there was something weird about the driver, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly either .
She stared at her phone for a while, and eventually, she decided that his explanation did make sense . Thus, she put away her phone and said, "You're right, it's already late . Since Grandpa Lin has retired for the night, I'll have to trouble you to send me back to my campus then . "
The driver secretly wiped away the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead before stepping on the accelerator .
Barely after the car advanced another dozen meters or so, Shi Yao suddenly thought of something and remarked, "It just so happens that I don't have any lessons tomorrow afternoon, so I can make use of the opportunity to pay Grandpa a visit . "
The driver's heart skipped a beat after hearing that, and his foot on the accelerator slipped, causing the entire car to jerk forward for a brief instant .
