Chapter 735 - Untitled (1/2)
The people waiting outside the observation room saw the two of them walk out together and quickly surrounded them. But before they could ask, they heard Qin Gengxin say to Mrs. Qin, ”Mom, let grandmother go inside.”
Mrs. Qin was stunned. ”But your grandmother.”
”Meili.” Suddenly, an indifferent and aged voice came from behind.
When Mrs. Qin turned around, it was the Old Woman who had walked over. Mrs. Qin opened her mouth but was unable to say anything. After a long while, she finally said, ”Mom.”
Xian Zihao looked at the Old Woman in front of him and gave a faint smile. ”Thank you.”
The Old Woman glanced at him but didn't say anything. Qin Gengxin whispered, ”Grandmother …”
”There's no need to say anything, I understand.” The Old Woman said indifferently as she walked into the observation room.
Old Man Xian laid there; the oxygen mask on his face had already been removed. It was so quiet in the ward and he seemed to have nearly disappeared.
The Old Woman came inside and looked at him for a moment, then closed the door behind her.
She stood by the sickbed and looked at him coldly.
Old Man Xian's eyelids twitched as if he could sense who the person next to him was. He moved his fingers and opened his eyes with all his might, looking at an Old Woman. He was unable to see her appearance clearly.
He looked at her and moved his mouth slowly. ”Sit.”
”Seeing that you were going to die, I came to see you.” The Old Woman pulled up a chair and slowly sat down on it. Her voice was also languid.
She wasn't sure if Old Man Xian heard her or not, but even though her demeanor was still cold, at least she was willing to enter the ward for the last time to see him.
Although she didn't say it, Old Man Xian understood it in his heart.
He understood what kind of feelings this woman had towards him. It didn't matter if she loved him or hated him, in the end, he was going to finish his journey.
Old Man Xian looked at her face and smiled. He stretched out his hand with difficulty, wanting to grab her hand. The Old Woman did not give her hand but just looked at him indifferently, ”What do you want to tell me? There isn't much time left.”
The look of anticipation on the Old Man's face turned into desolation. His face was full of fatigue and it was also full of paleness.
”I just... I want to see you …” He looked at her, his voice was low and his words growing fainter and fainter, but the Old Woman could still hear him because he was speaking so slowly.
She closed her eyes and sighed. ”Xian Tingfeng, I have already seen it. My hatred towards you will slowly disappear with your death, so you don't have to worry if I will continue to resent you after your death. I don't think it's necessary.”
”Xing Jia, back then …” Old Man Xian no longer looked at her. He quietly looked up at the ceiling and said softly in a blank voice, ”When he committed suicide in prison, he left two suicide letters.”
The calm expression on the Old Woman's face was soon replaced by doubt. She looked at him and asked, ”What letters?”
”A letter was left for you. What you saw afterward was only his simple last wishes and hatred towards me.”
Old Man Xian replied with closed eyes. ”I didn't plan to go when I heard the news that he had committed suicide. I just wanted to ask someone to deal with him. Buried him or whatever. I don't have time to care about him.”
”But … I was told by one of the prison guards that he had left a package for me before he died, and I was curious, so I took the time to look at it. ”
”In that bag, I saw the letters he wrote to you that couldn't be mailed out, and I also saw the shoes he wore on his feet. You had the ability to ask someone to bring your shoes in, but he didn't have the ability to get someone to bring the letters to you.”
”Xian Tingfeng, he is indeed not as capable as you, but so what? At the very least, he will be able to face his own wife and children.”
”He's sorry about everyone.” Old Man Xian did not deliberately interrupt her. After all, it was impossible for him to be loud now. He merely spoke calmly. The Old Woman's voice suddenly stopped.
