Chapter 734 - Old Age And Death Are Normal Cycles For Humans (2/2)
They looked through the glass window at the motionless Old Man with the oxygen mask on his face.
”Did the doctor say anything else?” Xian Zihao asked.
Qin Xiaowen happened to be next to them, so he said, ”The doctor is just saying that he won't be able to survive past tomorrow.”
When Jiang Ruolan and Xian Yijun heard this, even though their hearts were in pain, they couldn't say anything. Old Man Xian had made many mistakes in his life, and now that he was about to leave, all his children were by his side.
Xian Zihao let out a long sigh. Seeing Qin Gengxin walking towards them from the other side of the corridor, but not without Xian Guiying, he asked, ”Where's Guiying?”
Qin Gengxin walked over and said, ”She stayed here with the Old Man for an entire day yesterday and refused to leave. She was only taken away by me early in the morning to rest. She has just fallen into a deep sleep.”
Xian Zihao nodded. ”She must be feeling terrible inside.”
For the past few years, the grudges between Xian Guiying and the Old Man were deeper than anyone else's. Although she refused to come back and wanted to quarrel with the Old Man the moment she saw him, she still loved this Old Man in her heart.
Qin Gengxin didn't say anything, but he obviously didn't deny it.
Mrs. Qin walked closer. ”I've arranged a room at a nearby hotel. You can stay there for the night.”
Hearing Mrs. Qin's words, Xian Zihao suddenly looked at her, while Mrs. Qin also looked at him, politely smiling at him.
”Zihao, Grandfather seems to be awake …” Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan, who was standing by the window, spoke softly. Everyone walked to the window and looked inside, only to see the Old Man's fingers on the bed moved slightly, and his eyelids were gently moving as well.
”I'll go inside and take a look.” Xian Zihao walked into the observation room. Only two people were allowed to be inside. Jiang Ruolan was about to follow, but Qin Gengxin stopped her. ”Let me see him.”
Jiang Ruolan glanced at him and nodded.
When Qin Gengxin entered the ward, the two of them walked to the bedside. Xian Zihao looked at the Old Man's thin and pale face and called out softly, ”Grandfather?”
The Old Man's eyelids were still moving gently, but he did not open them. Xian Zihao looked at the ECG monitor and other equipment showing his physical condition. He leaned over and whispered softly, ”Grandfather, it's me, Zihao. Is there something you want to say?”
When Xian Zihao's hand reached the Old Man's side, the Old Man's finger moved slightly and held his hand lightly.
Seeing this, Qin Gengxin and Xian Zihao immediately understood.
Old Man Xian wanted to say something. He wanted them to remove the oxygen mask.
”Call the doctor and ask if he can take off the oxygen mask for a while.” Xian Zihao said.
Qin Gengxin went straight to the bed bell and waited until the doctor came over to check the Old Man. She said that the oxygen mask could be removed for a while and the patient's respiratory system was not affected too much.
Xian Zihao and Qin Gengxin were standing beside the bed when the oxygen mask was removed, watching the Old Man trying so hard to open his eyes.
Then, his mouth moved slightly. The two of them lowered their heads and leaned over to listen, but they could only heard two vague words from his mouth, ”Xing Jia.”
Xian Zihao and Qin Gengxin exchanged a glance and stood up.
