The old man's eyes were obviously startled, and his mouth trembled slightly.

Later, the boy came back first, thinking that after she also returned to China, the two should get married, but they didn't want to, before she returned to China, the boy died in a car accident, because he signed an organ donation agreement before his death, which luckily saved Ling Yuan's life. She later found out that her heart was donated to Ling Yuan, because she couldn't resist the longing for her boyfriend, so she wanted to have a relationship with Ling Yuan and wanted to have a child who indirectly belonged to her boyfriend...... But by mistake, she ...... me."

Needless to say, he believed that the old man had already understood.

Huo Lingxiao looked at his grandfather, paused, and continued in a deep voice: "Although what she did in this matter was indeed wrong, she didn't have the intention of harming others, and she didn't want to use the child to climb the dragon and the phoenix, it was I who met them by chance, and saw that the child looked so similar to me, or the nature of father and son guided me in the dark, which made me suspicious, and when I investigated this matter, I knew that Xuan Xuan was my son." All along, I took the initiative to pursue her, and even tried every means to force her to be with me. You really misunderstood her too deeply. ”

Old lady Huo didn't speak for a while, and after listening to this explanation, she was obviously shocked in her heart, but the idea of holding on for so long could not be changed all at once.

"This is the ...... You, why didn't you talk about it earlier? ”

"Your prejudices are too deep, even if I tell the truth, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

The old man didn't speak, but slowly turned his head, and after a while, the weak and old voice murmured, "That's it...... That's it, I'm leaving, whatever you want......"

"Grandpa, she's also in the hospital and has been with me today, or, I'll call her in?" In Huo Lingxiao's heart, he still wanted his grandfather to recognize this granddaughter-in-law.

The old man didn't speak, Huo Lingxiao acquiesced, so he quickly got up.

When the special guard on the duty desk saw him coming, he immediately asked, "Mr. Huo, you-"

"Please call my wife."

"Okay!"

A nurse hurriedly turned around and went out, Huo Lingxiao returned to the bedside and held the old man's hand again, "Grandpa, wait, she'll be here soon!" ”

Old Man Huo stared, his pupils couldn't stop dilating, his mouth moved, and he didn't make a sound.

"Grandpa......" the man called out again, squeezing his hand with heavy weight.

"Soaring...... Ling Xiao ...... "The old man's voice was extremely weak again, Huo Lingxiao leaned forward and put his ear in front of the old man, "Grandpa, I'm ......"

"Your grandmother...... I see your grandma...... She's calling me...... She said she was over there...... Solitary...... Alone...... It's been almost twenty years...... She called me......" The old man moved his fingers, his eyes stared at a certain place on the ceiling, his mouth squirming slower and slower, and his voice getting weaker and weaker.

In the lounge, after Fang Ruoning lay down, he couldn't sleep again.

Huo Lingxiao said that he would come over when he saw the old man, but after a while, he hadn't come yet.

Feeling uneasy, she got up again, and was about to open the door to go out, when a little nurse hurried over, and the two almost collided.

"Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo asked you to hurry to the ward!"

Fang Ruoning's face turned pale, and his heart beat panicked, "Is it an old man-"

"Well, the old man probably can't hold it anymore, so he pulled Mr. Huo and said a lot of words, you should go quickly!"

The two of them were in a hurry, running all the way.

Entering the ICU, Fang Ruoning saw that the doctor put away the flashlight and stethoscope, while Huo Lingxiao, who was sitting on the other side, remained motionless, and her whole body suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and she couldn't stop trembling.

"Ling Xiao ......" didn't know how she walked to the man's side, her cold fingers fell on the man's shoulder, and her eyes stared at the old man Huo who was slowly covered with a white cloth by the doctor, and her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

Huo Lingxiao didn't cry, but his face lost his blood, and the whole person was shrouded in grief, one hand was raised on the back of his wife's hand, and he looked at the old man covered with a white cloth with a solemn and trembling gaze, and announced in a low voice: "Grandpa is gone......"

"Ling Xiao!" Fang Ruoning let out a deep sigh of pain, half-squatting in front of him, holding him tightly with both hands.

The doctor bowed to them and said heavily: "Mr. Huo, the old man has passed away peacefully, please mourn and change." After a pause, he said, "The old man signed a body donation agreement before his death, and according to the agreement, wait for the old man to ......."

"I understand, don't worry, we will complete the relevant procedures for the transfer of the body as soon as possible." Without waiting for the doctor to finish, Huo Lingxiao interrupted lightly, and then patted his wife in his arms with one hand, "Let's go, go and call home first." ”

Fang Ruoning got up, knowing that he felt very uncomfortable, but as the eldest son and grandson, he still had a lot of things to do, even if he was sad, he didn't have time.

Outside the ward, Huo Lingxiao made seven or eight phone calls in a row to inform his family of the news of the death of the old man.

Because the old man signed a body donation agreement before his death, according to the agreement, his body will be handed over to the relevant institutions for special treatment and then used for medical tests.

On an April day, the night was as cold as water, and even though Fang Ruoning was wearing a thick coat, he felt cold to the bone when he stood in the corridor at this time.

The old man was admitted to the hospital from stroke to death, more than half a month, it is also a blessing, he does not have to continue to endure the torture of illness, and while he suffers, he also tortures the younger generations.

Liberation is now a blessing.

Fang Ruoning experienced the grief of the death of her relatives at a very young age, and when her mother died, she already clearly understood what the concept of birth, old age, sickness and death was. She still remembers, she knelt on the edge of the bed and cried so that her mother woke up, hugged her again, and looked at her again. But no matter how sad she cried, she fell to the ground, and tears flowed, and her mother lay there motionless, never to get up, never to open her eyes again, never to speak again, and never to hug her.

Crying is a human instinct. You can cry when you're happy, you can cry when you're angry, you can cry when you're sad, and you can cry when you're in pain, but for some reason, when we walk and grow up, we seem to have forgotten even this crying instinct.

Afraid of being ridiculed by others, afraid that others will feel weak, and even thinking that crying is a very shameful thing, then when we are sad, when we are in pain, what should we do?

Fang Ruoning looked at the figure who turned his back and was still on the phone, still so majestic, so upright, standing like a mountain, as if she couldn't feel grief or sadness, but she understood that it wasn't that she couldn't feel it, she couldn't realize it, but he didn't want to show it in front of people, and forcibly suppressed it in the depths of his heart.

When she lost a loved one

, can also break down and cry fearlessly without image, but what can he do? Even if he is heartbroken, he still has to pick up the burden of the entire family, showing his strong, brave, and responsible side in front of everyone.

A man doesn't flick when he has tears, let alone a husband like him who is as resolute as steel! Fang Ruoning's eyes were hazy with tears, and she saw that he was standing in front of the dark window after making the call, and she didn't turn around for a long time, although she wanted to step forward and hug him tightly, but she still froze in place.

Just let him be stubbornly strong, maybe facing the night compared to her, can make him feel a little better, she hopes that the man can be in the darkness that others can't see, in the night, reveal the grief in his heart.

More than a dozen people from the Huo family quickly rushed to the hospital one after another, these are just the juniors who work in Haicheng, and the rest are those who work in other places, some serve in the military camp, and even some are abroad.

However, at this time, they all received obituaries, and even if they couldn't come back to see the old man for the last time, they would come back to attend the memorial service as soon as possible.

In the ward, the sound of deep and sad crying gradually came, Fang Ruoning stayed in the corridor and wept silently, seeing that Huo Lingxiao was answering the phone, she didn't bother, just quietly stayed aside.

After a while, everything that should be urgently needed has been arranged, Huo Lingxiao put down his phone and turned around, only to see his wife who had been standing not far behind him, staring at him with a worried face.

The two looked at each other, the man's scarlet and deep eyes hid a little wetness, and the stubble on his chin made his handsome and resolute face a little more decadent, and it was even more distressing to look at.

Fang Ruoning stepped forward, held his hand, and didn't say anything comforting, just said: "Grandpa's funeral, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it." ”
