Just then, Lin Che's phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a familiar number.
It was a call from the servant who took care of her grandmother in the south.
Her grandmother was still there. She was worried that no one would take care of her, so she sent a servant over. She had been calling to report about her grandmother.
Seeing that it was her, Lin Che picked up the phone.
"It's so late. What's the matter with Grandma?"
"Madam, the old lady … is in the hospital."
"What?"
Lin Che was shocked again.
She said, "Madam, what do you think we should do now? The old lady's health is really failing. The doctor said that it might be organ failure. I'm afraid that she doesn't have many days left."
Lin Che's heart sank.
She quickly said to the servant, "Take care of her in the hospital. I'll be there soon."
No matter what, she had to go and take a look.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Jingze who was beside her.
Gu Jingze had already heard what she said on the phone.
Looking at Lin Che's expression, he naturally understood what she meant.
But now …
Gu Jingze said, "Are you going there now?"
Lin Che nodded. "From what the servant said, I'm afraid that Grandma's condition is not very good. I'm worried that there's really something wrong with her. If I delay any longer, I won't even be able to see her for the last time." Lin Che choked with sobs as she spoke.
Gu Jingze quickly wrapped his arms around her and let her lean on his chest.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Hearing that, Lin Che raised her head and said, "But you're still very busy."
"Grandma's business should be my business. If anything happens to her, I should be there. I'm her grandson-in-law, right?"
Okay …
Lin Che looked at him gratefully.
Gu Jingze said, "Okay, pack up first. I'll go and prepare."
Just like that, the two of them took the Gu family's plane and rushed to the hospital.
On the way, Lin Che had already made countless preparations. She quickly called Su Cen to inform her about it.
Su Cen also rushed over. Because she had seen her mother before, Su Cen also knew that she probably didn't have many years left.
After all, she was already over eighty years old and on the verge of death. Su Cen was also old, so she was much more accepting of such matters. However, it was inevitable that she would feel sad. She had only enjoyed a few days of bliss, and now she was gone. She had not even been able to serve by her side for a few days. She was definitely not feeling good about being separated forever.
Lin Che was worried all the way. Gu Jingze looked at her and comforted her, "It's okay. You'll know what's going on when you get there."
Lin Che said, "I know. Grandmother might not be able to pull through."
Gu Jingze said, "Life and death are decreed by fate. Moreover, Grandma will die sooner or later. If you're too sad, Grandma won't be able to rest in peace."
Lin Che nodded. He knew that if it was organ failure, then even if his grandmother died of old age, she didn't have any other illnesses.
After they got off the plane at the private airport, Gu Jingze's men drove them from the provincial capital to the small town.
Grandmother was staying in the small town's hospital.
Because she knew that there was nothing wrong with her grandmother, she didn't go to any big hospital. If she tried to prolong her life, it would only make the old woman feel more pain. Grandmother didn't want to walk anymore.
When they entered the hospital, the helper quickly came out to welcome them. Seeing that both of them had come, her face was full of worry. "Madam, the old woman is inside, but she's unconscious. The doctor said that there's no other way."
Lin Che quickly walked in and saw his old grandmother lying there. Her face was still the same as before, but she no longer had the vitality that she used to have.
She knew that birth, aging, sickness, and death were out of their control, but she still couldn't bear to part with her.
She squatted down and held the old woman's hand. She grabbed her and said, "Grandmother, I'm here. Lin Che is here. Can you hear me?"
Grandmother's hand seemed to move. Lin Che quickly held it excitedly, but the next moment, she didn't move again.
At this moment, the doctor came.
Gu Jingze brought the doctor out first. He looked at the doctor and said, "How is the old woman?"
The doctor only shook his head slowly and said to Gu Jingze, "If you want to show your filial piety, you can bring her to the big city for treatment. But it's actually useless. The old woman's organs are deteriorating rapidly, and it has already reached her lungs … I think she'll die in two days."
Gu Jingze waved his hand. "Thank you, I understand."
The doctor looked at Gu Jingze. Facing such a handsome man, he also hoped that he could help, but unfortunately, there was no other way.
After a long time, Lin Che came out.
Her eyes were a little red, but she still tried her best to control her emotions.
Looking at Gu Jingze, she said, "Luckily, Grandmother doesn't seem to have lost weight. It seems that she's been living well recently."
Gu Jingze said, "Of course. We've taken good care of Grandmother."
Ever since they knew of Grandmother's existence, they had been taking good care of her. It could be considered as a token of our appreciation.
Gu Jingze looked at the time. "Mother should be here soon."
Indeed, Su Cen arrived at this time. She came from Country M. She used Gu Jingze's special authority to help her fly here directly. She didn't have to go through the border, so she could arrive so quickly.
When Su Cen arrived at the hospital and saw Lin Che, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Xiaoche, where's your grandmother?"
Lin Che only looked inside. Su Cen's eyes became wet. She walked over and said, "Xiaoche, don't be sad. I'll go and take a look first."
Lin Che nodded and held his mother's hand. She felt better when her family was by her side.
Su Cen had stayed here for a period of time. She accompanied her mother from sunrise to sunset and talked a lot. Fortunately, before her mother passed away, she could still listen to her mother talk about the past.
This was already a gift from the heavens.
Lin Che looked at Su Cen and her grandmother from outside, then looked at Gu Jingze who was beside her. She suddenly felt that as long as her lover was by her side, nothing else mattered. Money and honor were actually not as important as the people by her side.
She leaned on Gu Jingze's body and looked inside. Her heart ached.
However, at this moment, outside …
Someone from the hospital suddenly came in and said, "Sir, Madam, someone is causing trouble outside. He said that he wants to snatch Old Madam away. He said that she's not your relative."
"What?" Lin Che looked at the doctor in surprise.
Gu Jingze stopped Lin Che. "Don't be anxious. Let's go out and take a look."
The person outside was the village committee director, Wang Shi.
Seeing the two of them coming out, Wang Shi sized them up. He saw Lin Che at first glance and naturally recognized that she was a superstar. As for the other man, he didn't know him.
They had long known that Old Madam was the superstar Lin Che's grandmother.
However, they weren't in the same household.
