As soon as Hai Yao arrived at the ward, she saw the doctor helplessly shaking his head at Xu Yizhong and saying with an apologetic look, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, we have tried our best. If you have anything to say, please hurry up."
Haiyao stood at the door of the ward. When she heard these words, her heart skipped a beat and big tears fell from her eyes.
how so?
When she first married Xu Yizhong, her grandma was still so vigorous and clamoring to hold her great-grandson, but at this time, such a lovely and kind grandma was lying on the hospital bed pale and feeble.
Hai Yao couldn't restrain her sadness when she thought about the past. After all, she couldn't hold back her tears...
She stepped forward, held her grandma's hand tightly, and choked with sobs, "Grandma..."
I wanted to say some words of comfort, but no words came out.
Compared to their sadness, grandma seemed calmer and reached out to Xu Yizhong. Xu Yizhong saw this and stepped forward to hold her hand.
Grandma intentionally held their hands together and smiled weakly, "Haiyao, I'm afraid grandma can't wait to see you two live a good life. Do you still remember the promise you made to grandma last time?"
"Remember."
She nodded, tears falling down.
Grandma sighed, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but she spoke with great effort, as if she was afraid that if she delayed for another second, she would never have a chance again.
"In the future... Yi Zhong, he... he did... I'm sorry... for... you... you must forgive him. For... for grandma's sake, give him a chance."
When Haiyao heard this, her emotions were completely broken, and her tears could not be suppressed. She held her grandma's hand tightly and cried, "Grandma, please stop talking. You have to have a good rest now. I promise you anything."
Seeing her crying like tears, grandma raised her hand to stroke her tears, and the corner of her lips held the ever-loving smile, "Silly child, why are you crying?"
"Grandma likes to see you smile."
After finishing speaking, the old lady's hand slipped weakly from Hai Yao's face, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
Haiyao's heart tightened and she stared blankly at her grandma. When she saw that her grandma was no longer moving, she lost control of her emotions and grabbed her grandma's hand, crying, "Grandma, grandma, wake up."
"grandmother……"
No matter how much she shouted, grandma stopped responding and lay there lifeless.
Xu Yizhong tried his best to suppress his mood, but when he saw her sad look, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and there was something wet and glistening in his eyes.
Pulling her to stand up, "Haiyao..."
"Haiyao, calm down."
"Let me go."
She struggled, and he held her hands tightly and said hoarsely, "Grandma has already..."
He couldn't say that word, and he choked for a long time before saying, "Don't be like this, we have to accept this reality."
When she heard this, tears fell silently.
She covered her mouth and tried to suppress her crying and her mood, but she couldn't do it at all.
Afraid of looking back to see the smile on grandma's face, afraid of seeing grandma lying there with a pale face, completely not in the same world as them.
She originally thought that death was far away from her, but little did she know that it would be so painful if it actually happened around her.
Grandma’s smiling face and kindness to her are all vivid in my mind.
But now, everything has become a pale memory.
Hai Yao couldn't be calm and calm, nor could she hold back her tears.
She wanted to show her smile to her grandma, but she could no longer see it.
She cried softly and tried her best to hold it back, so Xu Yizhong couldn't help but hold her in his arms and let her cry in his arms.
There is a dull pain in his heart. If he doesn't shed tears, who knows that he will also feel pain?
*******
Grandma's funeral affairs were handled by Xu Yizhong alone. Haiyao did not return to the apartment that night, but accompanied Xu Yizhong back to his hometown to sort out the old lady's belongings.
The sky was dark, and the clock hand was already approaching four o'clock in the morning.
Gu Tingchuan leaned against the car door, holding a cigarette in his hand, the spark burning alone.
He waited downstairs at her house all night.
I always thought that if she came back as soon as he left, wouldn't she miss it?
I always thought so, so I didn't leave even a step, waiting...waiting...it would be daybreak.
He smiled bitterly, unable to explain his ridiculous behavior.
It wasn't until the sky became clear that he touched the cigarette box in his pocket. There was no cigarette left in the box. He pinched his eyebrows and looked tired and lonely. Then he got in the car, started the engine and prepared to leave.
**********
Xu Yizhong specially held a large-scale memorial service for his grandma. When the funeral was approaching, Haiyao said, "Grandma's funeral is almost over, and it's time for me to go back."
With that said, he turned to leave.
"Haiyao!"
His wrist was held by him.
He looked at her, with a hint of sadness in his dark eyes, "Grandma liked you the most when she was here. How could you not be here at the funeral?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, he added, "Even if it's one more day, please stay. As her granddaughter-in-law, I will stay in the mourning hall for one day."
"If grandma could know, she would be very happy."
At the mention of grandma, Hai Yao's eyes immediately turned red, her heart softened, and her tears fell helplessly.
She nodded and reached out to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he pulled his hand away and walked away.
Xu Yizhong looked at her tired and sad back, feeling a little pity in his heart.
The phone was vibrating. When he saw it was his assistant's call, he answered it and asked, "How's it going?"
"Mr. Xu, I have already contacted reporters from xx newspaper and several magazines. As long as Lu Haiyao is here at the old lady's funeral tomorrow, you will keep a vigil for the old lady together. As soon as the news comes out the day after tomorrow, all the previous rumors about you and the company will be overturned.
bad news."
ps: There will be an update, can’t wait, I’ll check it out tomorrow morning.
