Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Wan couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She cried as she listened.
It turned out that she had not understood Grandpa’s good intentions all these years.
“Wan wan, remember Grandpa’s words.” Jing Hai patted Su Wan’s hand gently and held his last breath. “Since you and Jing Chen are husband and wife, don’t hold it in your heart when you encounter any difficulties. Husband and wife are one. There’s no hurdle that you can’t overcome. It’s not easy to meet someone who knows you in your life. You have to cherish it!”
“Okay.” Su Wan nodded repeatedly as she cried. “Grandpa, I promise you that I will be fine with Jing Chen for the rest of my life. I won’t let you worry!”
Jing Hai smiled weakly, as if he was very happy. “Even if I have to worry, I can’t!”
After saying that, Jing Hai seemed to be very tired. He closed his eyes to rest.
Su Wan’s heart beat quickly. She only calmed down when she heard Jing Hai’s heavy breathing, but she was still afraid.
With trembling hands, she poured Jing Hai a cup of water, but she didn’t dare to move. She stood rooted to the ground and called out softly, “Grandpa?”
Jing Hai slowly opened his eyes. After drinking the water, he said with difficulty, “Wan wan, Grandpa doesn’t have the strength to say much anymore, so Grandpa wrote you a letter in advance. It’s in the secret compartment in Grandpa’s room. Remember to look at it.”
Su Wan covered her lips to prevent herself from crying out loud. She choked and nodded in agreement. “Okay, I’ll go when we get home!”
“Wan wan, don’t cry. Grandpa just misses Grandma too much, so I’m going to accompany her. Grandpa is very happy.” A faint and gentle smile appeared on Jing Hai’s face. His thoughts drifted away. He lowered his hands and slowly closed his eyes.
The electrocardiogram fluctuated violently before calming down. The equipment made a violent sound and the people outside immediately rushed in.
This moment had finally arrived.
The doctor tried his best to save him, but in the end, he shook his head regretfully. Then, he lowered his head slightly and stood by the bed, gently covering Jing Hai’s head with a white cloth.
When he left, Jing Hai was still smiling. The doctor said that he left very peacefully.
Everyone was sobbing.
Jing Yu and Jing Hao pursed their lips and started crying too. Jing Yu ran to Jing Hai’s bed and said, “Great-grandpa, you said that you would play with me and my brother. You didn’t keep your word! Wake up, okay?”
But he knew in his heart that his great-grandfather would never wake up.
Su Wan stood there in a daze, only two streams of tears flowing down her face. It was as if a large piece of her heart was missing, and sadness and pain surged.
Even if it was human nature to die of old age, when the person closest to one left this world, they would still be unable to accept it.
Su Wan tried her best to accept the truth, but after a long time, she still couldn’t completely accept it.
Jing Hai’s coffin was buried after three days in the funeral parlor.
On the day of the burial, many people came to mourn. Hand after hand of flowers were placed in front of the tombstone.
Su Wan knelt in front of Jing Hai’s grave and quietly looked at the photo of Jing Hai on the tombstone, watching him be surrounded by flowers.
She did not cry. She just looked at it in a daze. In the clusters of flowers, she seemed to see Jing Hai smiling at her.
The cloudy day was heavy and oppressive. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and soon, a wind blew, mixed with some rain.
The people who came to mourn left one after another. The sky suddenly darkened, and then the rain became heavier.
Su Wan looked up at the sky and smiled. Then, tears rolled down her face, mixed with the rain, making it impossible to tell if they were tears or rain.
How could she not be sad?
Ever since her adoptive mother entrusted her to the Jing Family, Jing Hai really treated her as his biological granddaughter. He doted on her and loved her, giving her the love of her missing family.
Jing Chen knelt beside Su Wan. His back was still straight and he did not cry, but there was a strong sadness between his brows.
Su Wan went to pull him back. “Jing Chen, let’s go home. Grandpa definitely doesn’t want us to be like this.”
Jing Chen looked up at Su Wan, then lowered his head and looked at Grandpa’s photo. “I’ll get Zhao Lin to send you back. I want to spend more time with Grandpa.”
“Jing Chen!” Su Wan tried to pull him up, but she realized that she couldn’t. “Grandpa’s heart will ache if you do this. Can you bear for Grandpa to be uneasy underground?”
