C87 (2/2)
Previously, the doctor had said that she only had a few months left, but now that two to three years had passed, she was still fine.
Actually, she was very clear about her physical condition. She discovered that her body was getting worse and worse, and didn't know when she might die.
In order to prevent being discovered by her family, she insisted on not going to the hospital to check her body and knew that her family was worried, but she had no way of going. She was afraid that at that time, her family would be even more worried.
Moreover, she didn't want to lie in the ice-cold hospital. There was no longer any possibility of cure, so there was no need to make herself suffer. She didn't want to.
”There's no other way. You know it now, but there's something you have to promise Grandma. You can't tell anyone. You can't tell anyone about this?”
Grandma repeated herself several times, afraid that Qin Yue would tell her about it. If her family knew about it, they would definitely circle around her in worry. That was the scene that she didn't want to see the most.
”Grandmother, I …” Qin Yue didn't know whether he should agree to it or not. If he agreed to it, then he would lose his reason for coming here, but if he didn't agree, he didn't know how to face her.
Just as Qin Yue wanted to continue, Ouyang Xueling had returned.
When he was in the courtyard earlier, he saw that the two of them seemed to be talking. Why did they stop talking the moment he returned?
”What are you talking about?”
”I didn't say anything. Grandma said you were very filial. She was very touched.” Qin Yue explained. Actually, it was to hide the conversation between the two.
Ouyang Xueling glanced at his grandmother, and seeing that she did not say anything, she could only suppress her laughter.
Since she was young, she had never heard her grandmother praise her for being so outstanding. She never thought that during the conversation with Qin Yue, she would actually praise herself.
After sitting down for a while, Grandma noticed that it was getting late, so she said, ”You guys should head back earlier. Wait for some time before coming to see me again.”
”Alright, then Grandmother, we'll be leaving first.” Ouyang Xueling said somewhat reluctantly.
”Grandma, take care of yourself. We're leaving.” Qin Yue also began to bid farewell.
After they got in the car, Grandma stood by the door and said to Qin Yue, ”Don't forget our agreement.”
Qin Yue did not respond because he did not know whether or not he should agree.
On the way back, Ouyang Xueling curiously asked, ”What sort of agreement do you have with my grandmother?”
”Nothing.” Qin Yue said in a perfunctory tone.
”Just what is it? Tell me.”
The more he acted this way, the more curious Ouyang Xueling became. She really wanted to know what kind of agreement the person who met her for the first time would have with her grandmother.
Qin Yue turned his head towards the side of the carriage window and did not say a word. He had to truly think carefully about this matter.
Ouyang Xueling was not stupid, when she saw Qin Yue like this, she knew that something was wrong. When she thought about how both she and her grandma looked serious, she started to suspect something.
”Tell me honestly, when you examined my grandmother's body, did you discover anything wrong?”
This was the conclusion she came to after repeated consideration.
