The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 60 - 60 Wanting to cry for no reason................. _1

Unaware, dawn had come.

I lai Xiaotang was asleep at the table when she heard his grandfather’s shout. “Someone come, quick!” llai Xiaotang woke up abruptly!

She stood up wanting to run outside, but her legs were too numb. As soon as she took a step, she fell heavily to the ground.

“Someone come quickly…” Her grandfather’s voice outside was full of urgency.

I lai Xiaotang suspected that Grandfather Tao might have had an accident!

With gritted teeth, she pushed herself up and staggered outside.

Grandfather Tao’s bedroom was next door. Hai Zhiyuan had just arrived to see if he had gotten up yet, and found him passed out on the floor, unconscious.

The shouts of Hai Zhiyuan brought both Acheng and Hai Xiaotang over. “What’s wrong with Grandfather Tao?” Hai Xiaotang asked in surprise. “Acheng, take him to the hospital quickly!” Hai Zhiyuan commanded without answering.

“Ok!” Acheng lifted up Grandfather Tao and rushed outside.

Hai Xiaotang also quickly supported Hai Zhiyuan and followed them.

But while going down the stairs, Hai Zhiyuan almost fell due to his unstable state of mind.

“Grandfather!” Hai Xiaotang hastily supported him, but lost her own balance and landed flat on the stairs!

“All…” Hai Xiaotang moaned in pain, feeling as if her bottom had been split in two.

Hai Zhiyuan held onto the railing and asked her with concern, “Xiaotang, are you alright?”

Although in great pain, Hai Xiaotang’s face bore a smile, “I’m fine, are you alright, Grandfather?”

“I’m fine too, are you sure you’re okay?” Hai Zhiyuan asked unassuredly.

“Yes, I’m okay…” Hai Xiaotang replied, laughing heartily.

Because she had prevented her grandfather from getting injured.

As long as her grandfather was alright, even if she was truly hurt, it wouldn’t matter.

However, thinking of Grandfather Tao’s condition, Hai Xiaotang’s mood grew heavy again.

Tao Weimin was quickly rushed to the hospital for emergency care.

Hai Xiaotang and the others waited outside the operating room, but before long, the doors to the operating room opened.

“The patient’s condition is now critical, and there is nothing we can do. He likely has only a day or two left, you should prepare yourselves,” the doctor somberly told them as he came out.

Hearing the doctor’s words, Hai Zhiyuan looked desolate, but he didn’t react violently.

They had come to terms with life, aging, sickness, and death long ago.

He just felt a bit sad and reluctant…

But this day, sooner or later, would come. Tao Weimin had been tormented by illness for a while, probably wanted to free himself.

Only his unfulfilled wishes kept him lingering, not leaving.

It’s been two days now.

Tao Weimin was hanging onto life, persisting for two days.

Hai Zhiyuan and Hai Xiaotang, too, accompanied him in the hospital every day.

But he was fast losing his strength, yet he had not seen his grandson for the last time…

Whenever Tao Weimin regained consciousness, he would call out his grandson’s name.

Hai Zhiyuan held his hand and comforted him, “Old Tao, Tao Yi will be back soon. Hang in there for a little more, let’s wait.”

Tao Weimin nodded ever so slightly, but a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

He was afraid, he couldn’t wait any longer.

Unable to bear the sight, Hai Xiaotang walked out of the ward, distressed.

Standing in the corridor, she took a deep breath, but tears still welled up in her eyes.

She wasn’t particularly sad, she just felt like crying…

She thought back to her past life, wondering if her grandfather wished to see her one last time before he died?
