Chapter 1017 Alone (2/2)

As expected, the moment the two of them walked over, they were met with an awkward silence.

When the old man thought of this stubbornness, no one could pull it back.

Ella knocked on the door and said, ”Uncle, what's wrong? Can you open the door? I'm fine standing, Xiao Qi is still pregnant! ”

Shen Qi pulled Ella, and Ella waved her hand, then continued to speak to the old man inside the door, ”Uncle, you did everything you could to save me and brother back then, I knew you were someone who really liked children. Right now, the child in Xiao Qi, your heart will only ache for him. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door creaked open.

Shen Qi looked at Ella with admiration. Her aunt was indeed her aunt, she knew how to speak!

The room was dark, and Ella helped Shen Qi enter.

It took him a moment to adjust to the light.

Shen Qi raised her head and saw that the windows were covered with curtains, so the light could not enter.

Old Man Lin Xu just sat alone on his wheelchair, leaning against the wall, not saying a word.

Looking at him, Shen Qi felt guilty.

If he had found Grandpa Lin earlier on, would the result have been different?

Ella pulled Shen Qi's hand and pressed him onto the chair, then said to the old man, ”Uncle, we are not forcing you to make a decision. I just want to talk to you, okay? ”

Lin Xu looked at Ella, then at Shen Qi, then at Shen Qi's stomach. He did not make a sound, and operated his wheelchair to the side, then pointed at the cup on the table and said, ”Pour it yourself.”

Ella obediently poured two cups of water. Only then did Elder Lin Xu reveal a satisfied expression.

Shen Qi's eyes moved, she seemed to have gotten something.

Shen Qi opened her mouth and asked: ”Grandpa Lin, when did you retire?”

Elder Lin Xu thought for a long time before replying, ”It's been a long time. ”It's been a long time, I can't remember anymore.”

Shen Qi continued to ask: ”Then, when you retire, is there anything that you can't do in time?”

Elder Lin thought for a moment. A confused expression flashed across his face, as if he had really thought about the past.

Elder Lin kept thinking back to when Shen Qi and Ella had quietly been waiting.

Waiting and waiting until Shen Qi was about to fall asleep, Elder Lin finally opened his mouth. ”If I had left with her that year, would I not have been a burden to others?”

Shen Qi and Ella looked at each other but did not say a word.

After Old Lin said this, the expression on his face receded, returning to its cold indifference, and coldness that seemed to be a thousand miles away. ”Why are you asking this?”

Shen Qi smiled and replied: ”Because I always thought you were a hero! As a hero, how can you leave so easily? ”
