Chapter 16: Grandma

Promise her to sit in the car and look out the window at the bustle that doesn't belong to her. The neon lights flicker, like the stars in the sky, are adorable. But she was not at all interested now, and leaned back on the soft mattress of the car. One by one, the streetlights outside the window passed by her, making it impossible to tell if they were retreating or moving forward.

The car disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving her alone in front of the hospital gate. The red cross is dazzling at night.

She stepped into the hospital like a ghost. Finally, has it been this moment? When she saw her uncle and aunt, she was also in a trance. It's just that their attitude really chills her. So, Grandma, are you going to let me down?

She sat in a cool metal chair, dazzled by the crowd of patients and their families. She suddenly forgot to ask her uncle and grandmother where she lived. Naturally, though, there are no big problems. She made her way through the crowd to the nurse's station, where she easily asked about her grandmother's hospital room.

Somehow, she breathed a sigh of relief. She originally thought that her uncle was lying to herself, after all, it must be a big expense to be hospitalized. In this way, they can afford their grandmother's medical expenses for the time being, at least their conscience has not been completely extinguished until now.

She followed the nurse's instructions and went upstairs. With a "ding", the elevator door opened. She searched for the house number, and after a while, she arrived at her grandmother's hospital room.

She took a deep breath, grabbed Liang Sisi's handle, pressed down, and the door opened. She pushed the door open and entered, and her grandmother's familiar face met her eyes. Ah, my grandmother looks even older. The face doesn't seem to be very good.

The family members of the other patients took one look at her and busied themselves with their loved ones. She looked at her grandmother's bed, which was deserted, and no one was waiting left and right.

Everyone else has fruit bowls and flowers and other things at the bedside, but there is nothing next to my grandmother. Like her bed, it was empty.

When she saw the bleak scene of her grandmother's old age, she felt a little sad. Her eyes, which were not too red, began to flush again, and she hurriedly walked to her grandmother's bedside and carefully observed her face.

Originally, her short black hair was now black and white. She lowered her head, looked at the pitted furrows on her grandmother's face, and bit her lip unconsciously. I haven't come to visit my grandmother for so many years. It was only when she was sick that she made up her mind to come and see her.

Thinking that she must be very lonely on weekdays, other people's beds are lively and lively. When such laughter came to my grandmother's ears, would she sigh at the impermanence of life?

At this time, she unconsciously touched her grandmother's old hand, rough and awkward. Her hands were big and small, new and old, and she was completely frost-fed.

Grandma seemed to wake up slowly. Her hands flickered, promising her to lean in quickly. Softly called, "Grandma." ”

Her eyelids flickered, as if she heard someone calling out to her.

Xu Xu hurriedly called "grandma" again.

Grandma opened her eyes, her eyes dirty and unrefreshed. Originally, she had been silent when she fell asleep, but now that she opened her eyes, she looked even older.

"Grandma, I'm Nono. Her eyes filled with tears, and the tip of her nose was a little red, "I've come to see you." ”

It's just that grandma's eyes are still staring straight ahead, and her withered appearance makes Xu Promise feel distressed. But my grandmother seemed a little excited, and coughed twice. She raised her hand, as if to touch the promise.

She quickly took her hand and slowly pressed her hand to her face. Grandma's fingers gently rubbed her delicate face, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, it was not as painful as the tip of her heart.

She took pity on her grandmother. It seems that she forgot that today she was the one she had just broken up with. It's just that the current situation doesn't allow her to be sad at all, and she needs to take care of her grandmother.

Grandma seemed to be spinning around outside Hades' gate, and she struggled to sit up. Promise that she quickly put a pillow for her.

"Nono, is it really you?" Grandma's trembling voice struck Promise's heart, "After so many years, why don't you come back to see it?" I still remember that when you were a child, you loved to eat the osmanthus cake I made the most-ahem-cough-"

promised to be with her grandmother, quickly poured her a glass of water, and gave her a smooth back intimately.

"But, Grandma. The osmanthus tree at the door had already been cut down. ”

"Yes...... "Grandma fell into the memory, "it was cut down the year your mother left, and in a flash, so many years have passed." Nuno, she should have grown into a big girl. When I was a child, I was such a small person—but unfortunately my grandmother can't see it now—"

She tried her best to hold back her tears, but the big tears kept falling. She can't control herself, it seems that all the grievances she has suffered over the years have found a breakthrough in front of her relatives, she must have forced herself not to shed tears before, but now she can't do anything, she can only vent her emotions recklessly.

"Hmm—" she replied with a muffled cry.

Grandma's hands were already wet with tears, and she lovingly caressed the promised face and comforted her.

"Nono doesn't cry—"

Why, why, natural and man-made disasters have been encountered by her, without exception. She really couldn't figure it out, as if so many and so many incidents had broken out in a row overnight. Don't forget that she is still a little girl, she really can't bear it, she can't bear it......

"Grandma, why are you sick...... I ...... "Fortunately, the temporary emotional catharsis made her feel better."

"It's all right—it's all right—"

Originally, she was promised to give her grandmother a smooth back, but now her grandmother is stroking her back. She hugged her grandmother's thin body tightly, and she knew that even if other people's hearts were fickle, her grandmother would never change.

She will always be her dearest grandmother. This feeling made her suddenly have a stable support, and she no longer lived on the sea.

She was like a small sailboat, suddenly found another sailboat that had been adrift at sea for a long time, and although it was cracked, she seemed to have found the direction of life. Trips on the sea have also become meaningful.

Although the grandparents and grandchildren didn't talk much about each other, in Xu Nuo's heart, they wanted to keep chatting like this. Two lonely people stay together forever.

But the reality is ruthless, and she also knows in her heart that her grandmother will leave her one day. She doesn't want to go anywhere now, hoping to bring joy to her grandmother in her last days.

"Grandma—" She called Grandma affectionately, as if she had the whole world.
