18. Bones & Sugar-18

Early the next morning, Secretary Jin delivered the ticket.

Secretary Kim is not Yan Hongzhi's secretary, but his father Yim Haozhen's secretary.

Along with the ticket, Kim Chol-so's passport was delivered.

Yan Hongzhi thanked Secretary Jin and asked, "Father, what teachings do you want from his old man?" ”

Secretary Jin lowered his head and said respectfully: "The president said that he was busy with work and couldn't leave, so let the second son, you express your condolences to Ms. Jin Shunyi on behalf of the Yan family." ”

"Huh." Yan Hongzhi sneered and said, "How can I have such a big face to represent the Yan family?" I can only speak for myself, and I am not going to condole, but to visit the sick. ”

Secretary Kim's head hung lower, and he whispered yes.

After Secretary Kim left, Yan Hong-sik and Kim Cheol-so had a simple breakfast, packed their luggage, and went downstairs together and took a taxi to Incheon Airport.

Kim Cheol-so is still holding the acoustic guitar, looking very precious.

The book called "Snowman" is still in Yan Hongzhi's bag.

Yim Hong-sik knew that this patched acoustic guitar and this book must have many stories on it, so that Kim Cheol-so would take it with him across the ocean. But Yim Hong-sik didn't plan to ask anything, it was a precious memory that belonged to Kim Cheol-so, so let him treasure it alone, without exploring and disturbing.

When he arrived at the airport, Yim Hong-sik called to inquire about Cha Eun-joo's location and went to meet her.

After meeting, Cha Eun-joo greeted him, and then saw Kim Cheol-so who was following him closely, and said with a puzzled expression: "I seem to have seen you somewhere......"

Cha Eun-joo stared at Kim Cheol-so's face for a long time, and suddenly came to an instant, and said in a firm tone: "We met in Hwacheon two years ago, right?!" I was standing outside the villa on the phone and you stared at my face for a long time. It's you, I remember! ”

Yan Hongzhi introduced at this time: "He is Zhexiu, Kim Zhexiu." ”

"Cheol-so?" Cha Eun-joo reacted and said in disbelief, "Could it be ...... He's the one who still talks about his grandmother in a coma...... Cheol-so? ”

Yan Hongzhi nodded and said, "It's that Zhexiu." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Cha Eun-joo said, "Brother Hong-sik, tell me quickly." ”

Yan Hongzhi looked at his watch and said, "I'm about to board the plane, I'll tell you in detail when I get on the plane." ”

Cha Eun-joo looked at Kim Cheol-so's young and handsome face, and couldn't figure out what kind of connection he had with his grandmother, so that his grandmother still missed him so much when she was seriously ill.

Half an hour later, the three of them checked in together.

After boarding the plane, Cha Eun-joo found someone to change seats before sitting next to Yan Hong-sik.

Kim Cheol-so was on a plane for the first time, and Yim Hong-sik wanted him to enjoy the scenery from above, so he sat by the window, Cha Eun-joo sat near the aisle, and Yim Hong-sik sat between the two of them.

At 10 a.m., the plane took off on time.

Because of the sudden vibration, noise, and feeling overweight, Kim Cheol-so was a little scared, and Yim Hong-sik held his hand and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine in a while." ”

Kim Cheol-so nodded, but he was still nervous, holding Yan Hong-sik's hand tightly.

His strength was so great that Yan Hongzhi felt pain, but he didn't say anything, and Ren Kim Cheol-so held his hand.

Cha Eun-joo couldn't suppress her curiosity for a long time, and leaned over and asked, "Brother Hongzhi, can you sue me now?" What is the relationship between this Mr. Cheol-so and his grandmother? ”

Yan Hongzhi leaned his body a little towards Cha Eun-joo, lowered his voice, and retold the story that he had heard countless times from Kim Soon-ja's mouth since his childhood and had long been familiar to Cha Eun-joo.

After listening, Cha Eun-joo couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

She looked at Kim Cheol-so's face like that of a twenty-year-old boy, and in no way could connect him to that distant and strange time.

After a long time, Cha Eun-joo asked aloud: "But why did grandma never mention this to us?" ”

Yan Hongzhi was silent and said, "Maybe she forgot, maybe she felt guilty and didn't dare to mention it." ”

Cha Eun-joo said: "Cheol-so, he's really ...... Pitiful and great, compared to him, we are simply dusty beings. ”

Yan Hongzhi smiled and did not speak.

He turned his head and found Kim Cheol-so leaning back in his seat and napping.

Yan Hongzhi held his head and rested on his shoulder, so that he could sleep more comfortably.

***

Twelve hours later, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

It's 8:20 a.m. U.S. time.

Cha Eun-joo's younger brother, Cha Eun-wook, drove to pick them up.

After a brief introduction and pleasantries, several people made a beeline for the UCLA Medical Center.

This is the best hospital in the United States, and if even they are helpless, it means that Kim Soon-yi's condition has become so bad that he is unable to recover.

Accompanying her in the hospital was Cha Eun-joo's mother, Seo Min-kyung.

Seeing her long-separated daughter, Xu Minjing gave her a big hug and couldn't help crying.

As soon as she cried, Cha Eun-joo also cried.

Cha Eun-wook made a speechless expression and muttered in a low voice, "Women are trouble." ”

Yim Hong-sik and Kim Cheol-so stood quietly and did not disturb.

After crying, Xu Minjing remembered to greet Yan Hongzhi.

After another round of greetings, Seo Min-kyung didn't ask the strange Kim Cheol-so too much, just thought it was Yim Hong-sik's friend, and then took them to the ward.

"It's the only time of the day when your grandma is awake." Xu Minjing said as she walked: "But you can't be too noisy, otherwise her mind will not be clear." ”

It is a spacious and bright separate room.

Jin Shunyi was lying on the snow-white hospital bed, looking at the rising sun outside the window, and when he heard the noise, he turned his head to look at them.

She is already skinny, and she has completely lost the appearance she remembers, which makes her heart extremely sour.

Cha Eun-joo tried her best to hold back her tears, pulled out a broken laugh, knelt in front of the hospital bed, held Kim Soon-yi's hand on the side of the bed, and said in a choked voice: "Grandma, I'm Eun-joo, I'm coming back to see you." ”

Jin Shunyi looked at her with cloudy eyes, and after a while, he spoke: "Eun Zhu ......"

Her voice was weak and hoarse, without the slightest hint of anger.

Cha Eun-joo couldn't hold back any longer, buried her face in Kim Soon-yi's dry palm, and tears burst out of her eyes.

"Don't cry...... Kim Soon-yi said, "My Eun-joo, don't cry, it won't look good when you cry." ”

Cha Eun-joo hurriedly raised her head, wiped away her tears, and said with a forced smile: "I didn't cry, grandma, I smiled." ”

Jin Shunyi smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face stacked together, "Okay, my granddaughter has the most beautiful smile." ”

Cha Eun-joo said, "Grandma, Brother Hong-sik has also come to see you." ”

Yan Hongzhi stepped forward, knelt down next to Cha Eun-joo, and said with a smile, "Hello aunt." ”

"Okay, okay." Jin Shunyi looked at him and said, "Is Junko okay?" ”

Yan Hongzhi said: "Grandma, she is fine, but she can't fly because of heart problems, otherwise she will definitely come to see you." ”

Jin Shunyi sighed and said, "You don't have to come, what's there to see, I know she remembers me, that's enough." ”

Yan Hongzhi paused and said, "Auntie, I came this time and brought someone with me." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and beckoned to Kim Cheol-so and said, "Cheol-so, come here." ”

Kim Cheol-so held his guitar and walked up to Kim Soon-yi.

There was no sadness on his face, and he looked very calm.

"Shunyi, Kim Shunyi." Kim Cheol-so pursed the corners of his lips and said with a slight smile, "I practiced thousands of times in my heart, and finally called your name for the first time." ”

Jin Shunyi looked at him for a moment, and tears fell without warning.
