Chapter 214: Time is Running Out
After getting off work, Rong Li went to the funeral home to pick up Pei Yao and go to the hospital together.
When I arrived at the hospital, my grandmother was lying there, and compared with some time ago, my grandmother had lost some weight, and Pei Yao's heart was pinched after she walked into the ward, but there was still a smile on her face.
"Grandma, how are you doing today?"
"Why are you here again?"
Grandma's voice sounded weak a few days ago, and she wanted to raise her hand to hold Pei Yao, but she fell weakly halfway through, which made Pei Yao's eyes couldn't help but redden.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand and held her grandmother tightly, "Grandma, I'm here." ”
Grandma's hands have been so thin that there are almost only bones left, and in recent days, Pei Yao has always come to bring food to her grandmother, but she can't eat much every time, and she can't eat anymore.
"My aunt, my aunt."
Her voice was soft, without much strength, Pei Yao leaned forward to let herself hear her words clearly.
"I can always dream of your parents recently, they told me that they regretted it, they shouldn't have done stupid things in the first place, leaving you alone, leaving you alone, and letting you a half-old child depend on me as an old woman, but fortunately, you now have your own family, and Xiaoli is also very good to you, and I can rest assured."
"What do you care?"
Pei Yao's tone was a little coquettish that she didn't usually have at all, but if she listened carefully, she was hiding her sadness in it.
"I'm not worried about myself."
"But you have Xiaoli now, and Xiaoli's family, they will be good to you."
Grandma patted Pei Yao's hand and wanted to say something more, but she didn't want to continue the topic and talked about something else.
"I made your favorite soup today, let's have a bowl."
Seeing this, grandma didn't say anything more, Pei Yao shook the bed up and filled grandma with a small bowl of soup, but she only drank a few sips and couldn't drink it anymore, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep again.
This time, my grandmother was only awake for half an hour, Pei Yao silently packed up her things, and looked up at Rong Li who was standing next to her.
"Let's go, go find a doctor."
When they arrived at the office, the doctor was waiting for them inside, Pei Yao walked in and sat down, and did not speak, and the doctor just shook his head.
"Prepare for it."
"How much longer?"
When she asked this question, Pei Yao's voice was already a little trembling, and Rong Li held her hand tightly, but found that her fingers were cold and scary.
"At most half a month, in fact, the patient's current situation, if those machines are removed, they will die in less than half an hour, she lives more than these days by relying on the machine, I think you know, the patient also knows his own situation, if there is anything that has not been done, if there is nothing to say, take advantage of this time to do it as soon as possible, don't leave regrets for yourself."
"I see, thank you, doctor."
Pei Jiao said this sentence seemingly calmly, and then walked out of the office with Rong Li, but as soon as she walked out, her legs suddenly softened.
"Misty!"
"I'm fine."
She held Rong Li's hand tightly, allowing her body to have a support.
In fact, when he went on a blind date with Rong Li, Pei Jiao knew that his grandmother's time was short, if it wasn't for Rong Li's transfer of his grandmother to the military hospital, it is estimated that his grandmother would have left long ago.
These days of living a long life seem to be stolen, and she is worried all the time about whether she will suddenly receive the news that her grandmother is gone, whether she will see her grandmother for the last time, and how desperate she will be when she is alone in this world.
She sat there quietly, her eyes didn't know where to fall, and the whole person seemed to be ethereal between heaven and earth, without support, and she couldn't hear any sound.
Rong Li called her in her ear for a long time before she came back to her senses, but she still looked confused, and Rong Li's heart was pinched together.
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid."
Pei Yao's cold hand and Rong Li's fingers interlocked, trying to draw some warmth from him.
"Let's go home, I want to make sugar cakes for my grandmother, she likes sugar cakes the most."
"Okay, let's go back now."
Pei Jiao was led out of the hospital by Rong Li, she didn't say a word on the way back, and when she got home, she rushed into the kitchen, closed the door, and stayed inside.
Hearing the voice, Qin Yang walked out, looked at Rong Li outside, and asked softly what was wrong.
In the kitchen, Pei Yao took out the things needed to make sugar cakes from the cupboard, thinking that her grandmother liked to eat sugar cakes the most, so the first thing she learned in the kitchen was sugar cakes, over the years, she has done it countless times, and she can accurately hold out how much each ingredient needs with her eyes closed, but now, her hands are trembling.
Her eyes slowly became blurry, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes at some point, and she clenched the bag in her hand tightly and stood there crying silently.
Although she felt that she was ready, when she really faced this matter, the fortress she had built for herself collapsed in an instant, and she now realized that she would never be ready for this matter.
Standing there I don't know how long I cried, Pei Jiao raised his hand to wipe away his tears, looked down at the things in his hand, and began to make sugar cakes.
She forced herself not to think about what the doctor said, nor to think about her grandmother's appearance, but to concentrate on being there, making what her grandmother liked to eat.
This treatment was a night, Qin Yang was easily rushed back to sleep, but Rong Li had been standing at the door waiting for her.
He didn't bother Pei Yao, he knew that she needed time for someone to digest.
It wasn't until five o'clock the next morning that Pei Jiao finally came out of the kitchen, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Rong Li standing there.
Normally, she would ask why are you standing here? Did you stand here all night?
But now, she only said one word.
"Rongli, I'm going to see my grandmother."
Rong Li nodded, and was about to come down, but was shocked by the scene behind her.
This night, Pei Yao has been making sugar cakes, and now in the entire kitchen, all the tools that can hold food are holding sugar cakes.
