Chapter 34 – Uncle Liu Shishi (2/2)

“What?!” Lei Yu could feel a ringing buzz in his head. His mind went blank, “how could it be like this? What exactly happened?”

At this time, a few of the nurses came out of the operating room pushing uncle Liu. Lei Yu followed behind them, arriving at a hospital room.

Looking at uncle Liu’s hollowed out face and his sunken eyes, Lei Yu felt like needles were stabbing into his heart. Since he was young, the Lei family household had cast him aside, despising him for being a bastard. It could be said that uncle Liu alone took care of all of his daily necessities. Sometimes he would openly berate those that had ridiculed Lei Yu. Lei Yu would have never thought the person he most respected would become like this, how could his heart not ache?

Uncle Liu’s eyes had some slight movement. Lei Yu hurriedly grabbed his skinny hand which was like twigs. His eyes all red, he said: “Uncle Liu, how did you become like this?”

“It’s you little Yu!” Uncle Liu smiled weakly, “child, don’t cry, it looks like this was destined by the heavens, allowing me to see you on my last breath.”

“Uncle Liu, hurry up and tell me what happened!” Said Lei Yu anxiously.

“Enemies, they were enemies, enemies of your mother.”

“Enemies of my mother? Who are they?” Asked Lei Yu with eyes filled with anger.

“Child, your current strength is not enough to go against them. It’s best that you didn’t know, but you must remember one thing, there is another piece of jade pendant apart from your own, possessed by your mother. When those two jade pendants are close to each other, there will be a strong reaction. Once the time comes, you will understand everything.”

Lei Yu unconsciously touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck. He once again asked, “but when can I get to see my mother? Where exactly is she?”

“Don’t ask too many questions, I *cough cough* there are some things that you cannot know right now. When the time comes, you will naturally understand. Child, just once, can you call me grandpa?” (maternal)

“Grandpa?” Lei Yu was immediately shocked, what exactly is going on?

“Child, twenty years ago, I accompanied your mother to the Lei family household. When your mother left, I was allowed to stay and take care of you. Once you left the Lei family, I was then driven out.” Uncle Liu was gasping for breath before continuing: “Back then, your father and your mother had sinned, but you were the one to suffer. Our Liu family apologizes to you, child I… I…” Uncle Liu became faint of breath, he was breathing out more than breathing in. His breathing intensified with short shallow breaths.

“Gran… grandpa! Grandpa!” Lei Yu firmly grasped uncle Liu’s hand; the tears on his face were dripping down involuntarily, dropping onto uncle Liu’s extremely thin arms. “No! Grandpa!” Lei Yu began to wail and cry. He had just learned that the person who had accompanied him since childhood was actually his grandfather, but now he had drifted away from the living world. To this Lei Yu who had been tortured since he was a child was undoubtedly a big blow, this blow he suffered may be considered too great.

Inside the hospital room, the sound of crying gradually stopped. Lei Yu’s eyes had become even more intense and terrifying. He suddenly thought of something, and ran out of the room to find the doctor that had performed the operation.

“What happened to my grandpa? Why did he become like this?” Asked Lei Yu.

“We found this thing within his body, but we don’t know what it is, we are currently studying it.” From a white container, the doctor used some tweezers to take out a black chip, “this thing is the reason it lead to the death of your grandfather. We discovered it in his brain, and it appears as if it’s been there for a long time. This chip was pressing against your grandfather’s nerves. By the time you brought him to the hospital, there was nothing we could do.”

Lei Yu then proceeded to store the black chip inside his own wallet.

“You cannot take this away, we still need to study it. It might be something that was grown inside his body, something like a new type of disease” the doctor hurriedly cried.

“You shut your mouth!” Lei Yu angrily said. “If you want to study, go look for someone else to study on. Immediately prepare the death certificate, I want to have my grandpa cremated as soon as possible.”

He didn’t need any grand funeral, Lei Yu just wanted to quickly find a permanent place of refuge for his grandfather.
