After spending half an hour strolling in the terrace garden, the elderly Mr. Lian returned to his ward to rest. Wang Liansheng held onto Ling Chengyan and whispered, asking her to take the children home while he stayed to keep the old man company.
Ling Chengyan knew Wang Liansheng was a sentimental person. Having spent a lot of time with Mr. Lian, she had grown to respect him more as an elder.
She agreed and went back to the ward to say goodbye to the old man.
Mr. Lian's face was clearly weary, though his eyes held a trace of reluctance as he looked at the two children.
"Mmm, go on back. You've had a long journey and must be tired. Take care, and don't let the children get too exhausted," the old man said, glancing at Assistant Gao, who quickly offered to handle the hotel's check-in procedures, but was stopped by Wang Liansheng.
"It's already been taken care of. Don't worry," Ling Chengyan explained with a smile before taking the two children to leave the ward.
