Chapter 571: Madam An wants to walk again.
"Luck." Chi Lian replied and she giggled. "We were sailing around and we just found it." she shrugged.
Wenli pouted and rolled her eyes, that was so not true. What kind of good luck was this to bump into such a treasure. Many ships had sailed by the Saoning island dozens of times every year so why didn’t they have the great luck of just bumping into the sunken ship wreck?
"Pd Rao is going to grill you about this too? As soon as the ban is lifted he will be dying to do a special feature on how you located it. He might even shoot an entire documentary and get some actors to reenact the whole scene." Wenli had heard him say that many times.
"Then I will send him in the direction of which history books Muyang and I read and referenced before locating the shipwreck. Is that my grandfather?" As she responded to the first statement, she noticed an elderly man that resembled her grandfather Wang an awful lot.
"It looks like him." Wenli concurred.
"It’s definitely him." T4 confirmed.
He was speaking to some doctors or researchers in white gowns down in the cafeteria. They were huddled over some papers in a very heated and serious discussion.
"Why is my grandfather here T4?" All of her family had special permission to access the park so they could come here at anytime but they were not eager to pass by if they had no business in the park.
"Your grandmother has a surgery appointment in lab 53, prosthetics." T4 searched for any Wang or An related record on the computer system of the lab.
"Grandmother!!" She was surprised. This was good news so why not share it with the whole family? Everyone would have come out and supported her if she shared the news with them.
She approached the table and gently tapped her grandfather’s arm. "Grandfather," she called.
Grandpa Wang spun around slowly, having recognized her voice. "Chi-Chi," he gave her a brief side hug. "When did you get back? We have not heard anything about your return."
"We got back late last night grandfather, the circumstances were no longer conducive." This was her way of explaining to him that they had been forcefully removed from where they were.
Moving away from the other men in white gowns, grandpa Wang led Chi Lian to an empty table and they sat down briefly. "You had quite the adventure dear, everyone is talking about it in hushed whispers. Did you bring me anything?" he asked with a teasing glint in his eyes.
"Of course." Chi Lian looked around sneakily and then she snuck a gold coin into her grandfather’s palm. "Shhh!" she put a finger to her lips. "I did not take this from the main treasure, I found it in another part of the sea when we were diving."
Grandpa Wang smiled and put the gold coin in his pocket without much observation.
"Have you been to see your parents? Your mother has been very worried ever since the live broadcast was cut off."
"I called them briefly in the morning, I will see them in the evening with my husband. What are you doing here grandpa? Have you decided to become a scientist?"
Grandpa Wang laughed at her silly question and he replied, "I am past my experimental age dear, your grandmother is the reason why we are here. She decided to get that surgery which you mentioned after all. She said she is finally ready to walk again. I am so happy for my Nuo, she will be able to stand up again."
"That’s great news grandpa." she grabbed his hands and held them tight. "I am so happy that grandma made that decision. What kind of prosthetics is she going to get?"
"That’s what we were discussing with the doctors, she can get the basic prosthetic which will allow her to function as any normal person, the advanced one which gives her extra speed or strength. We are not considering the third type at all, the fancy one which is great for acrobatics or aesthetics. It’s for the younger crowd"
"What does grandma want?" she asked.
"She wants any of the three types but she cant decide which and your younger cousins have been encouraging her to get the third type because it’s cool. I was discussing the pros and cons of each type when you got here. But either way, she is getting surgery tonight."
Chi Lian gasped and clapped, "This is wonderful news, I am going to call everyone. We should all be here waiting when she gets out of the surgery."
"No, no." Grandpa Wang waved her off and went on to say, "That will not be necessary at all, it’s not a complicated surgery and after the operation she still has to go through rehabilitation. She is hoping to be on her feet by the time of you brother’s wedding and she is planning to surprise you all. As far as everyone is concerned, we are here on a holiday and we will return soon. Allow your grandmother to do things her way."
"En, alright, grandpa." she nodded. "I will keep this secret for you and grandma."
"Then I will finish up with the doctors and you go find your children. I think they are in little monk’s lab."
Skillfully navigating through the professors, researchers and research assistants that wanted to speak to her, Chi Lian successfully made it to little monk’s lab with Wenli where they found the children and the adults. The old madam and Mei-Mei were coloring on the carpeted floor while Little monk and the old master played some kind of robot war game with toys.
"Hello everyone." she said loudly.
"Mummy," Mei-Mei jumped up and so did little monk. They hugged her legs and she lifted them up one by one.
"Chi-Chi, you are back." the old madam and the old master came over and hugged her, one by one. "Where is Muyang?" the old madam asked.
"Probably at his office." she replied. "We returned last night but everyone was sleeping."
"The children are so vigorous ever since we got here, they run around a lot and so do we. We find ourselves in bed by ten lately."
Chi Lian was listening to the old madam fill her in on the children’s adventures while she handed them the pearls and the sea shells she had brought for them.
"You should tell us all about your adventure dear." the old master said when his wife had exhausted all she had to say. "It was so exciting for us to watch you diving and then the treasure, that was simply magnificent. In addition to that, there is the underwater vessel which you used."
Chi Lian had a feeling that she would be asked this question many times today and in the briefest five minutes, she compartmentalized everything and explained the journey to the treasure.
"Mummy see," Mei-Mei showed off the sea shells she had randomly put in her hair.
"So beautiful." she kissed her daughter on the cheek. "Where is Rose grandma?"
"She already made new friends and she is off having fun. School will resume after the royal wedding which is now a countdown away. You are simply glowing dear, I think this vacation away was good for you."
Chi Lian touched her face and she smiled, "Thank you grandma."
"Did you bring my smarty pants back?" the old master asked her. "Watching television has not been the same without that smart cat."
