"She, she only has a few days left at most."
After giving his results, Tang Yi really didn't know how to comfort the people in front of him.
He stepped aside, allowing Yu An to look at the ward behind him.
“Your grandmother is inside. You can spend more time with her these next few days.”
My grandmother was lying in the hospital room, but she was not conscious.
She had various medical tubes attached to her body, and she lay quietly on the bed.
Yu An hasn't had a proper look at her yet.
The last time he returned to the small town, he was unconscious, and his grandmother was taking care of him.
This time, their roles were reversed: the grandmother was unconscious, while he was awake.
The little fox spent the most time with his grandmother, and when he saw her, big tears welled up in his eyes.
"grandmother."
He took his grandmother's withered hand, which was as dry as tree bark, and said in a choked voice, "My older brother and I have come to see you, Grandma. Please wake up."
“We’re all here. Wake up and look at us.”
The little fox's calls couldn't wake Grandma at all.
Yu An also sat down.
He quietly gazed at his grandmother's face. The children had described her to him, saying that she hadn't looked this old the last time they were in town.
In the ward, there was the grandmother and her children.
After closing the door, Tang Yi did not disturb them, but turned and went to Xie Chiyuan's room.
He looked at Xie Chiyuan, who was also lying on the bed, and started talking to Xie Chiyuan as if they were having a casual chat.
"You need to wake up."
"There are so many things to deal with right now, we can't rely on Yu An for everything."
“Yu An’s grandmother… I really can’t save her. She will be very sad, and if you’re not there for her, she might not be able to get through it.”
"Xie Chiyuan, even if you're dreaming right now, your dream has gone on for too long. It's time to wake up."
Tang Yi said many things to Xie Chiyuan, but no one could guarantee that Xie Chiyuan would hear them.
But what if we can hear it?
Tang Yi thought he had to give it a try. If Xie Chiyuan heard about Yu An's current situation, he would be heartbroken.
It seems that there has never been any conflict in their relationship.
They were excessively sweet from beginning to end.
Having delivered the message, Tang Yi left the room. He felt like a mere tool, wandering from room to room, unnoticed by anyone.
Time passed little by little.
On the hospital wall hangs a large clock.
Yu An had wanted to take the clock off several times, but he couldn't actually do it.
If his grandmother really is going to leave, then he should at least remember the last time.
On the night Tang Yi finished treating her grandmother, Yu An, who was sleeping next to her grandmother, vaguely heard a cough.
He was under a lot of stress and slept very lightly.
The moment the cough started, he raised his head and instinctively looked towards the hospital bed.
"grandmother."
He stared blankly at his grandmother who had just woken up, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
After he rubbed his eyes, his grandmother was still watching him.
"It's not an illusion."
He paused, then looked at his grandmother and said...
Grandma seemed to be lucid at this moment, and she recognized Yu An.
"My sweet baby."
She called out to Yu An, reaching out to touch Yu An's face.
Afraid that it would be difficult for her to raise her arm, Yu An directly pressed her face against Yu An's palm.
Qin Sang touched her grandson's soft cheeks, and her heart softened as well.
Her eyes were filled with laughter; she looked very content.
"very nice."
Her voice was soft, but it was filled with laughter: "It's so good that I can still see you."
"grandmother."
Yu An felt a lump in his throat. He desperately wanted to control his emotions and force a smile onto his face.
He wanted to comfort his grandmother and tell her that she would be alright.
But after calling out "Grandma" once, he could no longer speak.
Grandma seemed to understand what he wanted to say, so she chuckled and coaxed him, "Why are you so unhappy to see Grandma? Do you feel like Grandma is a stranger to you?"
"Not unfamiliar at all, not unfamiliar at all."
Yu An was not lying. From the first moment he saw his grandmother, he felt no sense of unfamiliarity whatsoever.
He had seen his mother's photos; his maternal grandmother looked somewhat like his mother.
"Grandma, I wish I could have met you sooner."
Yu An took her hand and said, "I can bring you here to enjoy a better life sooner."
He had heard his father talk about his maternal grandmother, and he knew that his grandmother had a difficult life.
My grandmother only had my mother as her child, but she couldn't keep her.
"It's not too late now. Seeing you and spending every minute with you is a blessing for Grandma."
My grandmother, when she was awake, spoke softly and gently.
She wiped away Yu An's tears and then comforted each of the children with red eyes.
She always had a smile on her face.
"Grandma is so happy to see so many adorable babies."
Besides comforting Yu An, she also comforted each of the children.
In her eyes, these deformed babies were all adorable little ones.
The usually sharp-tongued little fox couldn't say a word to her grandmother.
Grandma rubbed his head, and suddenly reached up to touch his body.
After touching herself for a while, she suddenly realized, "I changed my clothes."
"Sisi, I brought you some ointment. After you apply the ointment, your fur will grow back. Then our Sisi will be a fluffy little fox, and you won't be bald at all."
When the bald little fox lived with its grandmother, it was quite mischievous.
When he was naughty and got into trouble, he often got a scolding from his grandmother.
But at this moment, the little fox would rather be punished ten or a hundred more times, as long as he can keep his grandmother here, he can endure the punishment!
"I don't want the ointment, I want my grandma!"
The little fox's protests were completely useless.
Yu An had never had a proper time with her grandmother before; this was the first and last time.
Grandma kept herself from falling into a coma or becoming mentally unstable again.
Fortunately, Tang Yi had some skills. He couldn't save his grandmother's life, but he could prevent her from going astray.
During this rare period of lucidity, my grandmother arranged many things in an orderly manner and gave many instructions.
"An'an, your father went to the Secret Shield Research Institute."
“These lunatics have all run out, and your father and I couldn’t stop them.”
“Your father went to Midun to retrieve something, something your mother left behind, something she left for you.”
"What is it?"
Yu An listened attentively to his grandmother's words and asked, "Many people have already entered and exited the secret shield. If there were anything truly important, it would probably have been discovered long ago."
Secret Shield is currently still under the control of the West District, and the West District's exploration of Secret Shield is nearing its end.
However, they did not report any significant clues or discoveries to Xie Chiyuan.
"You'll know when your father gets it," Grandma said. "I only know that such things exist, but I've never seen one with my own eyes."
After discussing the whereabouts of Gu's father, they inevitably started talking about those lunatics.
"With these lunatics around, neither humans nor mutants will have a good life."
Grandma thought about these indestructible madmen, and her usually smiling face became somewhat somber.
"An'an, these lunatics deserve to die, but you have to promise me—"
"You must never be stubborn, no matter what."
Grandma stared intently at his face, demanding a guarantee from him.
“I want you to tell me that you won’t be reckless and that you won’t sacrifice yourself to kill them.”
Grandma's gaze held an urgent intensity, which made Yu An's eyes flicker.
"Grandma, I met a madman. He said he wanted to kill them all and take them all with him."
Is he right?
Yu An herself had already figured out the answer to this question.
