Tang Zhixia gave instructions to the nurse behind him, and the nurse went out to call. After a while, Xi Jiuchen walked in. He half-knelt in front of the bed and got closer to the grandma, "Grandma."
Mrs. Xi held his hand and said, "Jiuchen, take good care of Zhixia from now on, and never let her down in this life."
"I know, I love her more than myself, and I will risk my life to protect her." Xi Jiuchen swore to her grandma.
Tang Zhixia pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears.
And this man's voice spoke to her heart and moved her.
"Grandma has no regrets in this life. You are the most powerful person in our family, and you still have to take care of Qingye and the others." Mrs. Xi said.
"I will, grandma, take a rest." Xi Jiuchen reached out and stroked grandma's silver hair.
Old Mrs. Xi didn't want to rest. She didn't have much time. She wanted to spend the last moment of her life to see the people she couldn't worry about the most.
"Chenchen, I originally wanted to see him, but thinking about it, I still haven't seen him like this, for fear of scaring him."
"Grandma, Chenchen won't be scared, I'll bring him to see you!" Tang Zhixia choked with sobs.
But Mrs. Xi didn't want to scare her grandson who was too young. She shook her head resolutely, "Don't scare him. Just tell him that I'm going to see his great-grandfather."
Xi Jiuchen respects her grandma's thoughts. It's not that she doesn't love her grandson, but she loves her grandson too much.
Tang Zhixia also nodded in understanding. At this time, Mrs. Xi's breathing worsened, and Xi Jiuchen quickly stood up and called the doctor.
Mrs. Xi needed to rest, so everyone went to the lounge. When Tang Zhixia sat down, someone thoughtfully handed her a tissue. She looked up and saw Ye Wanwan, and gave it to her with a grateful look.
After a while, Zhan Qingye hurried over, his eyes full of sadness. He sat next to Xi Jiuchen. The two cousins looked at each other, both speechless.
A little later, Tang Zhixia asked Ye Wanwan to go back first, and they would stay here to accompany the old lady on her last journey.
When picking up Tang Yuchen in the afternoon, Xi Jiuchen sent bodyguards to pick him up and asked Zhan Qingye to take him home. They would all stay here.
At this moment, the relatives of the side branches of the Xi family also heard the news, and they seemed to be relieved in their hearts. Finally, the most authoritative old lady of the Xi family was leaving, and the new Mrs. Xi was much easier to deal with.
All of them were waiting for Mrs. Xi to die. At the same time, they also sent several elders to visit the hospital.
But Xi Jiuchen refused first, because grandma didn't have much time, and he hoped that the people who would accompany her in the end were not those who were scheming, but all those who loved her.
This night was extremely long. In the quiet hospital corridor, even the nurse's steps were as light as possible.
Mrs. Xi took a good nap, but all her conditions continued to worsen, as if it was the final moment when the candle flickered and went out.
When it was almost dawn, she woke up. Xi Min held her hand and called her gently, "Mom!"
The old lady struggled to speak, and she said hoarsely, "It's dawn, it's time for me to get up and set off."
"Mom, don't leave." Xi Min couldn't control her sadness and cried loudly.
Xi Jiuchen and Tang Zhixia, who came in from outside, also rushed in. Listening to Xi Min's cries, tears welled up in Tang Zhixia's red eyes. Old Mrs. Xi seemed to be thinner and weaker.
"You are all here..." Mrs. Xi looked at the person in front of her, her eyes were moist and reluctant to let go, but she closed her eyes without regret.
