On the way to the hospital, I did not drive very fast.
All the way there, I introduced Mountain City's scenery to Brother Wang.
"Brother Wang, see those stilted houses across the street? They're one of our signature attractions. At night, the place is packed.
There are countless tourists taking pictures. During holidays, there are so many people that they close the bridge beside them so visitors can take photos, check in, and enjoy the night view..."
I pointed out the route while driving.
Brother Wang sat in the shadows of the back seat, looking out at everything beyond the window.
"That's quite nice. I left China when I was in my teens. I lived in Japan for decades and had planned to travel around with my wife and children after retiring.
Now, I could only let the two of them travel by themselves..."
Hearing that, I suddenly felt a little upset again.
Brother Wang saw my expression through the rearview mirror and immediately changed the subject.
"Brother Jiang, don't take it to heart. I was just saying. Still, I never expected Mountain City to be this modern now. So many skyscrapers—it's far more prosperous than Japan's Edo Castle..."
I responded to Brother Wang with a smile, and soon arrived at the hospital.
I took Brother Wang straight from the underground garage to Master's ward.
As soon as we reached the ward, I saw Aunt Tang watching over Master.
"Aunt Tang!"
Aunt Tang looked at me and nodded slightly.
"Xiao Jiang, you're here!"
Aunt Tang's eyes were bloodshot. She must have kept watch here all night.
"Aunt Tang, why don't you go back and get some rest? I'll stay here!"
Aunt Tang shook her head.
"No need. I slept for a while this morning. Hm? You brought someone with you?"
