Gu Jingchen's heart was suddenly hit hard again. He didn't know how to speak, so he could only remain silent.
Then I heard Mr. Gu continue to ask, "Jingchen... I heard your mother say that you want to get An An... back and live a good life with her. How are you... doing now?"
Mr. Gu is still very weak and speaks intermittently.
Gu Jingchen's eyes flickered for a moment, not wanting to disappoint Mr. Gu, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Mr. Gu didn't push him either.
After a long while, he gently patted the back of his hand.
"An'an still doesn't forgive you, does she..."
Gu Jingchen remained silent.
Not forgiveness.
An An already...hates him to death.
I never want to see him again in this life...
Grandpa cannot be allowed to know any of this.
"Grandpa, please rest first, An'an's side..."
Gu Jingchen spoke in a deep voice, but stopped mid-sentence.
He did not dare to easily promise that Su An would come to visit.
But I don’t want to disappoint grandpa.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu waved his hand.
"Forget it, I'll do it..."
As Mr. Gu spoke, he looked at the butler beside him.
"Old Lin... you should call An An, just... tell the truth, I'm dying of this old bone and want to see her again..."
Butler Lin's eyes turned red instantly, "Old man, don't say that..."
"Go ahead..."
Mr. Gu waved his hand and closed his eyes tiredly.
Lu family.
Su An was staying in the room, holding a paintbrush and staring blankly at the drawing board in front of her.
For the past few days, Lu Ziting has basically been at home with her every day.
Except when the police station has something to do and has to leave.
Afraid that she would be bored at home alone, he even found the drawing board and paints he used for painting so that Su An could try them out, just to kill time.
Su An looked at the white drawing paper in front of her, but she didn't know what to draw.
Her mind went blank.
All I can think of is boundless darkness.
Those gorgeous colors seemed to have nothing to do with her anymore.
For a long time——
She finally sighed helplessly, put the brush aside, and planned to lie down for a while.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard the phone ring.
Su An picked it up casually, looked at the familiar name on the screen, and was suddenly stunned.
Butler Lin...
Why did he call suddenly?
Could it be Gu Jingchen...
Su An frowned suddenly and hung up without thinking.
But I didn't expect that before I could put it down, Butler Lin called me again!
Su An still wanted to hang up, but this time, he hesitated for a moment.
Butler Lin rarely contacted her before...
Every time it's because Grandpa Gu misses her...
Thinking of how the old man always favored her in the past, Su An couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
If Grandpa Gu misses her...
She is willing to talk to him.
But meeting in person is not necessary.
Because Gu Jingchen will definitely be there too.
Su An made up her mind and picked up the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, I heard Butler Lin's voice coming from the other end of the phone.
"Madam, are you busy now? The old man wants to see you..."
Butler Lin was a little anxious and forgot to change his name to Su An.
When Su An heard that it was exactly what he had guessed, Su An immediately refused and said, "Sorry, I..."
"The old man is hospitalized."
Butler Lin interrupted her.
Su An was also stunned when he heard this.
Then I heard Butler Lin continue to choke and say, "The old man has been resuscitating for three hours today. The doctor said... the situation is not very good. It may happen at any time... Let us be mentally prepared..."
"What……"
Su An didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so seriously ill. She was shocked and her expression hesitated for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Butler Lin continue to say intermittently, "Madam, the old man... he was the first one looking for you as soon as he woke up. He wanted to talk to you. You see... it's inconvenient. Come to the hospital to see..."
Su An didn't answer, but her fingertips holding the phone became a little tight.
Hospital……
Gu Jingchen must be there too.
She said she never wanted to see him again.
But Grandpa Gu is seriously ill...
That was the only person who was kind to her during the two years in the Gu family.
In her heart, she has already regarded Grandpa Gu as a family member, as important as her mother, brother, and child mother!
Thinking of the old man's usual loving appearance, Su An finally made up his mind and agreed, "Which hospital? I'll go there now."
"Okay! Thank you, madam!"
Butler Lin was overjoyed and immediately reported the address of the hospital. Then he returned to the ward with a happy face. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Master, the lady said she will come over to see you right away!"
"Yeah……"
Mr. Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and there was finally a smile on his pale face.
Gu Jingchen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Su An would really agree, and his mood was a little complicated for a while.
As expected, An An still misses her grandpa...
He knew that she was so kind and wouldn't refuse.
But……
Thinking of Su An's harsh words before, Gu Jingchen's heart began to hurt again.
Half an hour later——
There was a sound of light footsteps outside the ward.
As soon as Butler Lin heard the sound, he immediately stepped forward and opened the door, and then he saw Su An standing outside the door.
"lady……"
Butler Lin said hello hurriedly.
Su An paused and reminded in a low voice, "Steward Lin, please call me Su An."
It didn't matter on the phone just now, but now here, she doesn't want to cause any unfounded misunderstandings because of the title.
Only then did Butler Lin react and quickly changed his words, "Yes, Miss Su..."
"An'an..."
Mr. Gu's voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Su An immediately looked towards the hospital bed. Seeing Mr. Gu struggling to sit up, he immediately stepped forward and held Mr. Gu's arm.
"Grandpa, just lie down, don't get up..."
Su An looked at the old man in front of her with some distress, her heart twitching.
Before the divorce, although grandpa was ill once, he still looked very energetic.
But after not seeing each other for such a short period of time, he has actually lost so much weight... He also looks a lot older.
"An'an..."
Mr. Gu grabbed Su An's hand and called her name softly.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
Su An hurriedly sat down by the bed.
But from beginning to end, he didn't even look at Gu Jingchen, who was also sitting by the bed.
Gu Jingchen looked at Su An silently and wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
never mind……
Grandpa wants to see An An today.
If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later when he sends An An off.
Gu Jingchen was thinking, and then he heard Mr. Gu ask intermittently, "An'an... how are you doing during this period of time? Is it hard to be alone outside...? How is your health?"
The old man asked three questions in a row, all concerned about Su An, and his tone was full of sincerity.
Su An felt sad and didn't know how to answer for a while.
How are you doing?
She could have been fine...
But……
All this was ruined by Gu Jingchen and Ye Kexin!
Thinking of everything she had experienced in the past few months, Su An pursed her lips, suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and replied softly, "It's fine, Grandpa, you don't have to worry, my body is fine..."
"Yeah……"
Mr. Gu looked at Su An for a long time and sighed slightly.
"You kid, you look very tired. You must have not had a good rest recently..."
"I……"
Su An didn't expect the old man to be so discerning, and because of his concern, her heart warmed, so she hurriedly covered it up and said, "Maybe it's because I haven't slept well recently..."
Su An said, barely curling up the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't sleep well.
I almost couldn't sleep all night...
Suddenly he thought of Tong Ma and Su Xulin again, and Su An's heart sank again.
Not wanting her emotions to be seen, she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, let me peel some fruit for you. Butler Lin, does grandpa have any taboos now?"
"The doctor said that it's fine if it's lighter, and you can still eat fruits."
Butler Lin said and hurriedly took the fruits that had been prepared long ago.
Su An took it casually, picked out a large, round apple, peeled it carefully, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to Mr. Gu.
The next second——
A wet wipe was also handed to her hand.
It's Gu Jingchen.
Su An paused and was silent for two seconds, then reached out and took it, but said nothing.
Mr. Gu saw the interaction between the two and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"An'an..."
Mr. Gu sighed, patted the back of Su An's hand, with a look of reluctance on his face, then turned to look at Gu Jingchen, and spoke slowly.
"Grandpa is not used to you not being by his side... Jingchen... must also feel empty around him..."
"grandfather……"
Su An instantly realized what Mr. Gu wanted to say.
Mr. Gu, however, waved his hand and motioned for her to listen to what he had to say.
"An'an, grandpa knows... Jingchen, that brat, has done a lot of bad things, but since you left, how he has regretted it and how he has changed... His mother and I have also seen it...
The most important thing in a person's life is to have someone by his side to accompany him until he grows old...you..."
Mr. Gu suddenly paused for a moment, then took Gu Jingchen's hand and slowly placed it on Su An's hand.
Su An was startled for a moment and almost subconsciously pulled out his hand.
Then I heard Mr. Gu continue.
"Grandpa is an old man... I'm afraid he won't live long. You don't need to comfort me. I know it all in my heart... Grandpa's only wish is that you can reconcile with Jingchen... Okay? Grandpa promises you.
, he will definitely not let you down again, if he still dares to bully you...I will never let him go even if I'm afraid of you!"
"grandfather……"
Su An didn't expect that the old man would even say such words. The tip of her nose couldn't help but feel a little sore, and she felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
It is impossible for her to reconcile with Gu Jingchen.
Can……
This is grandpa's only wish now.
How could she refuse him face to face in this state?
She hates Gu Jingchen.
But she can only be grateful to Grandpa Gu who has been taking care of her.
The room was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
Gu Jingchen felt the temperature in his palms, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, staring at Su An intently.
Mr. Gu didn't urge him, but he looked at Su An with pleading eyes.
finally--
Su An nodded.
"Grandpa, the matter between Gu Jingchen and I... is a bit complicated, but I can promise you that I will seriously consider it."
