Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce

Chapter 401: Meeting Grandma

“Su Yan, come here quickly. She is your grandma. Hurry up and greet her.” Yue Tengfei waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Su Yan lifted her leg and walked over. Grandma, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened her eyes slightly. Her eyes were very dim, and she looked sickly. She was so weak that she could barely breathe. It seemed to be very strenuous. Su Yan didn’t doubt it at all that if the oxygen mask was removed, Grandma would immediately suffocate to death.

Shi Li said softly, “Su Yan, you can go. Although your grandma can’t speak anymore, she will be very happy to see you. Come closer and let her take a look.”

Su Yan leaned forward again and saw that Grandma’s hand moved on the bed. Then, Grandma raised her trembling hand and wiped Su Yan’s face. Su Yan also quickly bent down and let Grandma’s hand touch her face. Her grandmother’s hand was very dry and cold, but the moment it touched her face, Su Yan felt a wave of warmth.

For some reason, Su Yan felt very sad. Her nose tingled and her eyes reddened again. She said in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Grandma, my name is Su Yan. I’m Yue Longyue’s biological daughter. It’s my first time meeting you. I’m very happy.”

Her grandmother slowly blinked, as if she was greeting her. After waiting for so many years and searching for so many years, she finally got what she wanted today. In that dim gaze, Su Yan’s figure gradually overlapped with that of her daughter, Yue Longyue. She didn’t need to do a DNA test to be 100% sure that Su Yan was her biological granddaughter. Not only did Su Yan look like Yue Longyue, the feeling of blood and kinship was even clearer.

Looking at her grandma, who was unable to say a single word, Su Yan was filled with an indescribable sadness. She took a deep breath and said, “Grandmother, although my mother left early, she had a very happy life after marrying my father. They were also very loving. If mother knew that I came to visit you, she would definitely be very happy in the afterlife.”

As she spoke, tears flowed out from the corner of Grandmother’s eyes. Her grandfather, Yue Tengfei, also turned his head away and secretly wiped his tears. He had been on the battlefield all his life and had only returned to his family life after retiring at the age of at least 60. He had never shed tears in so many life and death situations, but today, he was unable to control his emotions. Who said that a general wouldn’t shed tears easily? It was just that he had yet to reach that point.

By the side, Shi Li helped Yue Tengfei out of the ward, leaving only Su Yan to guard her grandmother. She wanted to give the two of them a quiet space. As early as three months ago, the old lady should have already died. It really wasn’t easy for her to be able to hold on until now. Now that she finally saw Su Yan, it also meant that the old lady’s wish had been fulfilled, and she could die at any time.

Su Yan moved a chair and sat by the bedside. As she held Grandma’s hand, she gently told her about her mother’s story, and from time to time, she would intersperse some interesting stories about her own childhood. When the old lady heard something funny, she would blink her eyes hard, and even the corner of her mouth would twitch twice.

After seeing Su Yan for the last time, the old lady was full of vitality. Her originally dim eyes regained their luster. While listening to Su Yan talk about the past, she drank the chicken soup that Shi Li made for her. Seeing this scene, everyone in the Yue family knew that the old lady should be done in a day or two.

..

The next afternoon, the sun was just right. Spring had returned to the Earth and everything was revived. Su Yan put Grandma in a wheelchair and pushed her to the hospital’s small garden to bask in the sun.

......

After her grandmother fell ill, she hadn’t been outside for a long time. She stayed in the ward every day to maintain her life. Now that her grandmother was feeling better, Su Yan pushed her outside so that she could look at the blue sky and white clouds before she died and feel the warm sunlight.

Grandmother was wearing a blanket and leaning against the wheelchair. She looked at Su Yan with a pale face. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and her mouth was moving hard, but Su Yan couldn’t hear clearly even if her ears were pressed against her mouth. After using all her strength to touch Su Yan’s face, the old lady was filled with a longing for the world and a reluctance to part with her granddaughter. She stopped breathing completely.

Feeling her grandmother’s heartbeat disappear, Su Yan couldn’t help but cry. “Grandma, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your granddaughter. Go over there and reunite with my mother.”

It was unknown how long she had been lying on her grandmother’s legs wrapped in a blanket. Su Yan was helped up by her aunt, Shi Li. “Girl, get up. Your grandmother is gone...”

Before she could finish her words, tears flowed out of Shi Li’s eyes. Even though she had long been mentally prepared, when the moment of separation arrived, she couldn’t help but shed tears of sadness. Humans weren’t like plants and trees, who could be heartless. No one could bear the pain of losing a loved one.
