Hearing her grandfather's voice, she removed the wet towel from her eyes and looked at him .
“Grandfather! Grandfather, are you awake now? How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” Yun Bixue's voice was filled with anxiety and worry .
She felt sad and guilty . Because of her, her grandfather became like this . She was too careless and greedy . Now, as long as her grandfather was alright, she wouldn't be greedy and ask for anything else .
Old Master Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yun Bixue . Again, he muttered, “Yuqin, Yuqin… Where's Chenghai?” Yun Bixue resembled her mother . In his confusion, Old Master Yun mistakenly took her for her mother .
Yun Bixue's heart ached . She could tell that her grandfather was calling her parents' names . Her eyes rimmed in red once again as tears streamed down her face . “Grandfather, it's me . I'm Bixue! Look closely at me . ”
After hearing Yun Bixue's voice, he slowly recovered from his trance . His face reflected the emptiness he felt . After a moment, his expression shifted, and disappointment showed in his face—he was genuinely looking forward to seeing his son and daughter-in-law .
He really thought that they had come back, but it was only an illusion . He couldn't put into words how empty and sorrowful his heart felt .
Xie Limo held Grandfather's hands as he said in a soothing voice, “Grandfather, I've already got the Xie family members to search for them . There's no news of them in Hainan, which means that they must still be alive . As long as we search meticulously, we will definitely be able to find them . ”
Xie Limo's steady and resolute voice calmed the tension in Old Master Yun's heart .
Now that Old Master Yun was awake, Yun Bixue called the doctor over . The latter did different kinds of checks on him before hooking him on to another IV drip .
Aunt Zhou sat quietly by the side as she took care of Old Master Yun . Her heart ached immensely for him, but there was nothing she could do either .
When the doctor left, Old Master Yun felt tired and fell asleep again . When he woke up later and talked for a while, Yun Bixue could feel that her grandfather wanted to go home .
After discussing this with Xie Limo, they both agreed that Grandfather's body could no longer stand the stress .
Xie Limo arranged for a specially equipped ambulance team to send Grandfather back to Ning An City . They followed behind the ambulance as they drove back home .
Looking at the scenery of Xiangnan from the car window, Yun Bixue felt a little disappointed . The other day, she came with a hopeful heart, but today, she had to carry a heavy one back .
Farewell, Xiangnan . She had no idea if she would come back here again .
Xie Limo wrapped his arm around her shoulders while holding her hand with his other hand . “We'll come back again, and this time, your parents will be with you . ”
Somehow, as long as it was something Xie Limo said, she would believe in it . She leaned on his shoulders and closed her eyes as the wind caressed her . It felt as though the future would be blindingly bright .
When they arrived in Ning An City, they arranged for her grandfather to be sent to the best hospital .
Perhaps this experience had also changed Old Master Yun's way of thinking . He could see Bixue every day, but he missed his other granddaughter, Bilu, dearly . He himself had no idea how much time he had left .
“Grandfather, when you get better, I'll take you to Country E to visit Bilu . We can take the private jet . I'm sure she'll be very surprised and happy to see you . ”
A bright light flashed across his eyes . Thinking about his future travel to Country E to see Bilu, his mood improved significantly . He had always felt sorry towards Bilu ever since she went overseas—he couldn't take care of her because of the distance .
Looking at the bright gleam in her grandfather's eyes, Yun Bixue said, “Grandfather, I haven't told you yet, but I have good news . Bilu has a boyfriend now . ” She wanted to surprise her grandfather, that was why she didn't tell him at first . However, she wanted to cheer him up so he could have something to look forward to .
