Hearing Gao Wenyen say this, Shu Liu’s tears spilled out.
“Then… what should we do?”
Gao Wenyen sighed softly, “A doctor can cure diseases, but not fate. Prepare yourself mentally!” After saying that, he left first.
As Shu Liu’s good friend, Gao Shengnan naturally stayed to keep her company.
“Alright, life and death are predestined, and the old master isn’t young anymore. Don’t be too sad!”
Shu Liu looked up at Gao Shengnan with a face full of grief and indignation.
“Grandfather isn’t dead yet, and the people from the Chi Family are already being very aggressive. What will I do if he’s gone?”
Hearing this remark, Gao Shengnan couldn’t help but sigh as well, “The Chi Family is… indeed going too far!”
Filled with sorrow, Shu Liu walked into the hospital room and saw the only family she had in this world lying unconscious on the bed, her tears falling in a rush.
After approaching the bed, she bent down and whispered into her grandfather’s ear: “Grandfather, what will I do if you leave?”
Seemingly hearing her, the old man’s body trembled slightly, and a tear seeped from the corner of his eye.
Shu Liu prepared to take a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her grandfather’s tears.
Suddenly, she touched the glass bottle in her pocket.
A flash of inspiration struck her mind.
She couldn’t help but remember the group of people she had seen that day and the man with the indifferent expression who said there was a potion that could prolong life by twenty years.
Could there really be such a potion?
If it were any other time, Shu Liu would have scoffed at it.
But now, as her closest kin was about to pass away, her mind was in turmoil.
Should she give it a try?
Shu Liu, trembling, took out the glass bottle and gently opened the lid.
A strange, pleasant fragrance assailed her, making one feel refreshed and uplifted.
Shu Liu gritted her teeth and poured the potion down her grandfather’s throat.
Five minutes, no reaction!
Ten minutes, still none!
An hour later, Shu Liu, looking at her grandfather, just as always, was utterly hopeless.
How could she have been so foolish to believe in such things?
Shu Liu laughed at herself mockingly, then sat by the bed, ready to accompany the old man on his final journey.
The fatigue from the past few days and the immense pressure from the Chi Family had already exhausted this girl.
So, without knowing when, Shu Liu fell asleep by the bed.
She didn’t know how long she slept.
Shu Liu felt someone gently stroking her hair.
The palm was warm and broad, just like… how her grandfather used to stroke her when she was little.
Suddenly!
Shu Liu woke up.
Grandfather!
How is he?
Shu Liu looked up and then saw her grandfather, looking rosy-cheeked, leaning against the head of the bed and smiling at her.
Shu Liu was stunned.
Is this a dream?
It must be a dream, she probably was too tired recently!
While she was still in a daze, Shu He chuckled and shook his head, “Silly girl, what are you dazing for?”
Shu Liu’s tears kept falling, “Grandfather, this is a dream, right? Are you going to leave me?”
Shu He wiped the tears from Shu Liu’s face and chuckled, “I am your grandfather, and this isn’t a dream; I really woke up!”
Shu Liu was initially in disbelief until she pinched her own cheek, then she was stunned.
It’s real!
