My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 734 - Old Age And Death Are Normal Cycles For Humans

Xian Guiying slowly opened her eyes and her vision blurred. It was not until her vision cleared up that she realized she was lying in a ward filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Looking at the snow-white ceiling and the bottle hanging next to the bed, Xian Guiying frowned and turned her eyes around. She saw Qin Gengxin sitting beside the bed, leaning over to look at her, as she woke up.

Qin Gengxin gently caressed her head. His eyes filled with worry and concern.

"What's wrong with me?" Xian Guiying sighed slowly. When she opened her mouth to speak, her throat actually felt dry.

Qin Gengxin looked at her for a moment, then got up and looked at the IV drip. He calmly said, "It's nothing, the doctor said that you have a fever, and since this is your first trimester, your nutrition is not sufficient."

"First trimester? I'm pregnant?" Xian Guiying wanted to sit up, but a headache attacked her. She winced and forced herself to sit up slowly. She rubbed her forehead and looked at Qin Gengxin in surprise.

Qin Gengxin pursed his lip. At the moment like this, all the excitement he should have been able to feel turned into warmth. The Old Man was still in the observation, and he felt it was not the right time to be happy.

Xian Guiying hadn't taken the pill afterwards a few times before. Originally, she once thought of not taking birth control pills on purpose, because whether she would have another child or not, she never thought she would get it easily in the future.

"Have a good rest. You've only been pregnant for a few days, and the doctors tested your blood. Fortunately, you didn't take any medicine because of the fever that night." Qin Gengxin patted her shoulder and said, "Lie down and rest."

"Grandfather..." Xian Guiying had just woken up and was still in a daze. Then, she suddenly remembered something and looked up at him. "How is grandfather?"

Qin Gengxin looked at her for a while. He hesitantly said, "Guiying, old age and death are normal cycles for humans. Doctors say that grandfather's body is already at the end of his tether. I don't know what made him fall into this state and it certainly has nothing to do with heavy rain. Although the cold weather made things worse, it still won't make him sick like this."

Xian Guiying's eyes were slightly bloodshot and she forcefully held her tears. She took a deep breath before saying hoarsely, "I want to see him."

Qin Gengxin at first wanted to let her rest, but he paused and didn't stop her. He just said, "I will accompany you after you finish your IV drip."

Xian Guiying raised her head to look at the bottle by the bed. There wasn't much left, so she sat quietly on the bed.

Qin Gengxin knew she was sad, so he sat on the bed and grabbed her hand gently. "Dad arranged for people to watch over him. Grandfather hasn't gotten up yet, so there is no need for you to worry about him."

He tightened the grip on her hand. "I suddenly don't know how you endured years ago when you were pregnant with Qianqian. When I went to the lab to get the blood test results, I saw a couple looking at the results together. Their faces were full of happiness, and when you went to the hospital alone to check on it, you must have felt alone, right? When I thought about it, I felt like I'm too much of a bastard for you to forgive me."

"Although the situation has already changed, I still can't let it go." Qin Gengxin leaned over and kissed her hand. He lay on her lap with his face close to her stomach and whispered, "Guiying, I'm sorry."

Xian Guiying slowly raised her hand to caress his head. With a slight smile, she said, "I didn't faint back then. It wasn't as hard as you think. It's all over."

With that, she looked towards the ward door. Her happiness of being pregnant was completely overshadowed by her grandfather's deteriorating condition. She knew that Qin Gengxin's heart was filled with longing and fear.

He was afraid that she would hate the Qin Family because of her grandfather's matter.

The Old Woman had hated Old Man Xian for her entire life, and he had come here to atone for his sins. No matter what happened, Xian Guiying would not recklessly bite someone from the Qin Family.

No matter how indifferent they were towards her grandfather, there was nothing wrong with it. After all, they were not the true executioners like her grandfather.

The next day at noon, the Xian Family arrived at G City. At that time, Old Man Xian still hadn't woken up.

Shortly after Xian Jian and Zhan An entered the ward, they left. It was clear that they knew nothing about the Old Man's past. They kept asking about the Old Man's condition and whether there was a possibility he would wake up.

Xian Zihao, Jiang Ruolan, and Xian Yijun stood at the entrance of the observation room.

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.
