It was the Sheng family's private hospital on the other end of the line.
"Grandpa Sheng's condition isn't looking good. I suggest all his family members come over. Don't leave any regrets."
An Xiaxia could clearly feel that the boy beside her, who had been joking lazily a moment ago, suddenly trembled. His phone almost fell from his fingers, and his brows were furrowed in panic.
"What's wrong?" She panicked too.
Sheng Yize put away his phone and took two steps forward. Then, he realized he was barefooted. He turned around and put on his shoes. Then, he grabbed An Xiaxia's hand tightly.
"Xiaxia, my grandpa …" He stopped as soon as he opened his mouth. His chest was heaving up and down. An Xiaxia immediately understood and held his hand. "He'll be fine. Sheng Yize, don't think too much! Is he in the hospital? Let's go now! "
-
At the hospital.
The smell of disinfectant was everywhere. Everything was white. It was the kind of white that one would see when they were on the verge of despair.
When Sheng Yize arrived with An Xiaxia, the corridor was already crowded with people. All the relatives of the Sheng family, as well as the important executives of the company, were there. Some of them were even chatting together. It was so lively that it was like a banquet.
An Xiaxia found it irritating. She looked at Sheng Yize again. Sure enough, his expression was cold and frightening. There was a faint, frightening aura about him.
"Let's wait in the lounge." An Xiaxia quickly pulled him to the lounge.
The world finally quieted down.
An Xiaxia poured him a glass of water. Sheng Yize could not even hold it properly. Helpless, An Xiaxia held the glass and fed it to him personally.
"This is your family's hospital. They have the best doctors in the country. They have the most advanced technology. Grandpa Sheng will be fine. He's such a good person. There must be a god protecting him." An Xiaxia nagged to comfort Sheng Yize. But she felt terrible from the bottom of her heart.
She had only met Grandpa Sheng a few times. Even she could not accept such news. Not to mention Sheng Yize, who had been closest to him since he was young.
Sheng Yize smiled bitterly. He leaned against the sofa and whispered, "Xiaxia, come here and let me hug you."
An Xiaxia obediently snuggled into his arms and heard him sigh softly, as if he had found someone to rely on.
He placed his chin on her little head and said slowly, "When I was young, he and Grandma liked me very much. I was the only child in the Sheng family. I heard that he used to be very inflexible and didn't like children, but he treated me really well. Sheng Qingyi didn't care about me. He did. After my mother passed away in an accident, Sheng Qingyi sent me to an isolated town. During that time, he was the only one who found out where I was and came all the way to see me. He even brought my favorite chocolate."
An Xiaxia listened quietly to the past that Sheng Yize had never mentioned.
"Later, because of some things … Sheng Qingyi really had my legs broken and locked me up in the sanatorium … It was also him who beat Sheng Qingyi with a cane to help me vent my anger. He even secretly shed tears because of his heartache … It's hard to imagine, right? Such a serious and old-fashioned old man … "
"Yes, Grandpa Sheng is very good. He's very good …" An Xiaxia felt her eyes tearing up when she remembered the pastries Grandpa Sheng made for her during Chinese New Year.
She had never met Grandpa Sheng. How could he like her? His love for her was probably the same as his love for Sheng Yize.
Love me, love my dog.
However, life, old age, sickness, and death are fates that we can't resist.
