Translator: Fuyu

Chapter 10 - Lu Lixing's eyebrows were deeply furrowed; it felt as if he was attending his own funeral (3)

Although she had already known this, Ji Qingqing's heart still inexplicably trembled when she heard the head doctor's blunt diagnosis.

"As a doctor, the only advice I can give you is to help Mr. Lu not have any regrets during these last days.

Ji Qingqing's heart thumped.

"I decide to have Lixing leave the hospital... and go home." Old Master Lu tiredly said.

Old Master Lu was exhausted from the past month of worrying about his grandson. Under the cloud of apprehension, he hadn't had a single night of peaceful sleep.

Facing death, one should be like a leaf that fell to its roots, that was the thought that all elderly people had.

"Elder Lu, I..."

"You don't have to worry. I'll follow through with my end of the agreement. I'll resolve your problems for you. You're Lixing's wife, so I hope that you can accompany him during his last few days."

Ji Qingqing nodded. "Sure, I will. You don't have to worry about that."

It was as if the doctor's final diagnosis was cementing the finality of Lu Lixing's death. As Old Master Lu and Ji Qingqing listened to the doctor's instructions, their expressions were very solemn.

Ji Qingqing felt a new reverence towards life. Although she would inherit Lu Lixing's vast wealth, she wasn't feeling gleeful about his approaching death.

In the novel, Lu Lixing's death had only been described in a few sentences. But now, having seen him alive before her, she felt it was such a pity that he was going to die.

It was such a pity that such a handsome man was going to die.

It was also such a pity that a beautiful woman like her was going to be a widow.

She followed Old Master Lu back to the hospital room.

A faint smile appeared on the old man's stiff face when he saw his grandson. "Lixing, how are you feeling?"

With his life energy replenished by the system, Lu Lixing was actually feeling pretty good. He felt healthier now than before the car accident. He was sure that this was just an illusion though.

Lu Lixing slightly smiled. He sincerely answered, "Grandfather, I'm okay. Don't worry."

However, Old Master Lu seemed to have misunderstood. Trying to push down the grief in his heart, he forced himself to smile. "That's good. Then... How about we go home this afternoon?"

"Okay."

Ji Qingqing, who had strong empathy, was affected when she saw Old Master Lu's pained appearance. Her eyes reddened.

Her parents viewed sons as better than daughters. Even though she was the one that financially supported her family, they thought she was the worthless one. Towards her older brother, who was the real worthless one, their parents treated him as a priceless treasure. Because they had spoiled him too much, he grew up to become a lazy, parasitic man that eventually accumulated a huge amount of gambling debts. Their family had been forced to sell their house to pay off his debts.

Since her parents couldn't depend on their son, they placed the burden on their daughter. She could only work non-stop to try to compensate for her older brother's spendthrift existence, which was like a black hole. There were many times when she wanted to sever her relationship with her family, but she hadn't been able to bear losing the scraps of affection that her parents tossed to her.

When she saw Elder Lu's loving gaze at his grandson, she felt so envious. She had never experienced a similar lovingly familial gaze at herself.

Lu Lixing's gaze went past Old Master Lu. He looked at Ji Qingqing, who was standing behind his grandfather. His brow slightly furrowed.

Why was she crying?

The doctor and nurses came into the room to remove the medical equipment around Lu Lixing's bed. Lu Lixing finally got off the bed that he had been lying on for a month and into a wheelchair. Although he repeatedly said he didn't need a wheelchair, under the doctor and nurses' reproachful gaze and warnings that he was being too overconfident, he gave in and sat down in the wheelchair.

Anyways, it would catch too much attention if he suddenly recovered to full health after a serious car accident.

Still, with a serious expression, he refused the doctor's suggestion of going home in an ambulance!
