Mr. Mu slumped into a chair, and only then did Lin Chuchu notice that his hair had turned completely white.

The day was taken away because of Mu Chen's matter, and Mu's father was unable to accept it for a while, and most of his hair turned gray.

"Chuchu, you just got home, right? Haven't you eaten yet? Why don't you go get something to eat?"

Mr. Mu wanted to distract Lin Chuchu.

Lin Chuchu shook her head. "Dad, I can't eat."

At this moment, Mu's mother spoke up, handing the two children to Lin Chuchu, "There are restaurants next to the hospital, you and the children can go and have a meal."

Looking at the two bewildered children, Lin Chuchu nodded and had no choice but to take them out.

The two children walked away, looking back every few steps.

As we walked out of the hospital, Da Bao suddenly asked, "Mom, is Great-Grandpa going to die?"

They saw it; Great-Grandpa was vomiting blood. He vomited so much blood, was he about to die?

Lin Chuchu gritted her teeth and held the hands of her two children tightly.

"Mom doesn't know either."

She didn't want her grandfather to die, but after being in the operating room for so long, she didn't know if he would survive.

"Mom, I don't want Great-Grandpa to die."

Xiao Bao burst into tears.

Da Bao's eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Looking at Lin Chuchu expectantly, he asked, "Mommy, will Great-Grandpa not die?"

Once someone dies, you'll never see them again. The neighbor's kid, his grandpa used to take him out to play all the time, but one day, he was suddenly carried away and never came back.

They didn't want to never see their great-grandfather again; they wanted him to take them to buy candy.

Lin Chuchu didn't know how to answer them, nor did she want to lie to them.

So Lin Chuchu bent down and said to them, "Let's go eat first, and then go back to see Great-Grandpa..."

She hoped that when she returned, she would see the kind, gentle eyes of her loving elders, not an unconscious, cold... corpse.

The two little ones didn't dawdle at all this time, finishing their food very quickly, and then urged Lin Chuchu to take them back quickly.

She glanced up at the hospital sign and silently prayed for a miracle.

Just around the next corner, she could see the operating room door when Lin Chuchu suddenly heard the sound of crying.

Her heart tightened, and she quickened her pace.

Mu's mother collapsed into Mu's father's arms, crying, while Grandma looked like she was about to faint.

Lin Chuchu hugged the person tightly and looked up to see the doctor.

The doctor shook his head regretfully, "Please accept my condolences!"

Lin Chuchu's vision blurred, and she bit her lip, using the pain to keep herself awake.

"Doctor, please check on my grandma, she's fainted."

People can't come back to life after they're dead, but the living must continue to live. My grandmother was placed on the hospital bed, and after the doctor examined her, he only said one sentence: "I'm so angry I could die," before starting an IV drip.

On the other side, Grandpa's body was brought out. Lin Chuci only had time to glance at Grandpa's face before she had to take care of Mu's mother, who had fainted.

The two children cried uncontrollably, struggling to break free from their father's embrace and rushing towards their great-grandfather.

"Great-Grandpa, wake up! Weren't you going to take Da Bao to buy candy?"

"Great-Grandpa, don't you like Xiaobao anymore? Didn't you always call me 'Stinky Baby'? Waaah, wake up, I don't want you to die."

The child's innocent voice carried the purest emotions, and those who heard the crying couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Lin Chuchu felt a pang of sadness, and for the first time, she felt so helpless. She wished Mu Chen were here.

Mr. Mu couldn't stop the two children at all. He grabbed one and ran over to the other. Just then, Liu Rong and Liu Jiarui arrived.

The two, somehow receiving the news, immediately rushed to the hospital.

Liu Rong immediately stepped forward and helped Mu's father hug the two children.

"Uncle, I'll look after the two children for you. You go and handle the rest."

Liu Rong was panting heavily from running.

The two children couldn't break free from the strong body, so Mr. Mu quickly had someone take his grandfather's body to the morgue.

He also needs to contact the funeral home and his elder brother and grandfather's former comrades-in-arms.

Lin Chuchu sat on the ground, holding Mu's mother in her arms, her eyes glazed over. Liu Jiarui stepped forward and helped Mu's mother up.

"Chuchu, you have to pull yourself together. You still have two children and elderly parents to take care of. You can't collapse."

Hearing Liu Jiarui's words, he stood up and said, "Yes...yes, I can't be hurt."

Lin Chuchu muttered to herself unconsciously, but her heart was in turmoil.

The two took Mu's mother to the ward, where she shared a room with her grandmother and also began receiving intravenous fluids.

The two children, exhausted from crying, were now sobbing in Liu Rong's arms.

Liu Rong hugged the two children tightly. "Sister-in-law, have you and the children eaten? Do you need me to buy you some food?"

Lin Chuchu snapped out of her daze, rubbed her forehead, and rushed to the hospital before she had even adjusted to the time difference or had a chance to rest after getting off the plane.

She has a bit of a headache now. "My child and I have already eaten. If possible, please bring some rice porridge; they haven't eaten yet."

Liu Jiarui nodded, "I'll go buy some rice porridge and come right back. I'll come over and relieve you in a bit."

She couldn't handle those two little ones, so she decided to go buy some food.

Lin Chuchu's eyes reddened. "Thank you, Jiarui."

"Hey, we're all friends, why be so polite?"

After saying that, Liu Jiarui rushed out.

The ward was quiet, and Lin Chuchu was not in the mood to talk to Liu Rong.

Liu Rong glanced at her expression and couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, is Mu Chen really...?"
