Thinking of the harsh words he had said to Su An before, Gu Jingchen's heart began to ache again.
Half an hour later——
There was a sound of light footsteps outside the ward.
When Butler Lin heard the sound, he immediately stepped forward and opened the door, and then he saw Su An standing outside.
"lady……"
Butler Lin greeted him hurriedly.
Su An paused and reminded in a low voice, "Butler Lin, you should call me Su An."
It didn't matter on the phone just now, but now that she's here, she doesn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings because of the name.
Butler Lin finally realized what was happening and quickly changed his tone, "Yes, Miss Su..."
"An'an..."
Mr. Gu's voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Su An immediately looked towards the bed, and seeing that Mr. Gu was struggling as if to sit up, he immediately took two steps forward and supported Mr. Gu's arm.
"Grandpa, just lie down and don't get up..."
Su An felt a little distressed as he looked at the old man in front of him, his heart aching.
Before the divorce, although my grandfather had been ill once, he still looked energetic.
But after not seeing you for such a short time, you've lost so much weight... and you look a lot older.
“An An…”
Old Master Gu held Su An's hand and called her name softly.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
Su An hurriedly sat down beside the bed.
But from beginning to end, she never even glanced at Gu Jingchen who was also sitting beside the bed.
Gu Jingchen looked at Su An silently and wanted to speak, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back.
never mind……
Today, Grandpa wants to see An An.
If you have anything to say, you can talk about it when he sends An An away.
Gu Jingchen was thinking about it when he heard Old Man Gu ask incoherently, "An An... have you been... well these days? Is it hard to be out there alone? How's your health?"
The old man asked three questions in a row, all of which showed his concern for Su An, and his tone was full of sincerity.
Su An felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Are you doing well?
She can live well...
But……
All of this was ruined by Gu Jingchen and Ye Kexin!
Thinking of everything he had experienced in the past few months, Su An pursed his lips, forced himself to suppress the emotions in his eyes, and replied softly, "I'm fine, Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine..."
"Yeah……"
Old Master Gu looked at Su An for a while and sighed slightly.
"You kid, you look so tired. You must not have had a good rest recently..."
"I……"
Su An didn't expect the old man to be so sharp-eyed, and because of his concern, his heart was warmed. He hurriedly covered it up and said, "Maybe I haven't slept well recently..."
Su An said this, trying to raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
She didn't just have trouble sleeping.
Almost sleepless nights...
Suddenly he thought of Tong Ma and Su Xulin again, and Su An's heart sank again.
Not wanting her emotions to be seen, she quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa, let me peel some fruit for you, Steward Lin. Is there anything Grandpa is avoiding right now?"
"The doctor said I can just eat lighter food, but I can still eat fruit."
As Butler Lin said this, he hurriedly took the fruit that had been prepared long ago.
Su An took it casually, picked out a big and round apple, peeled it carefully, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to Mr. Gu.
The next second——
A wet sheet was also handed to her.
It’s Gu Jingchen.
Su An paused and was silent for two seconds, then reached out to take it, but didn't say anything.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Mr. Gu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"An'an..."
Old Master Gu sighed, patted the back of Su An's hand, his face full of reluctance, then turned to look at Gu Jingchen and spoke slowly.
"Grandpa is a little uncomfortable without you around... Jingchen... must also feel empty around him..."
"grandfather……"
Su An instantly realized what Mr. Gu wanted to say.
But Mr. Gu waved his hand, indicating that she should listen to him.
"An'an, Grandpa knows... Jingchen, that brat, did a lot of bastard things, but since you left, how he regretted it and how he changed... His mother and I have seen it all... The most important thing in life is to have someone by your side to accompany you for the rest of your life... You..."
Old Master Gu suddenly paused for a moment, then pulled Gu Jingchen's hand and slowly placed it on Su An's hand.
Su An was startled for a moment and almost pulled his hand out subconsciously.
Then I heard Mr. Gu continue.
"Grandpa's old bones... I'm afraid he won't live much longer. You don't need to comfort me, I know it in my heart... Grandpa's only wish is that you and Jingchen can reconcile... Is that right? Grandpa promises you that he will never let you down again. If he dares to bully you again... I will definitely not let him go even if I become a ghost!"
"grandfather……"
Su An didn't expect the old man to say such words. He couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nose and felt embarrassed.
There was no way she could reconcile with Gu Jingchen.
Can……
This is grandpa’s only wish now.
How could she refuse him in person in this state?
She hated Gu Jingchen.
But she only felt gratitude towards Grandpa Gu who had always taken care of her.
The room was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
Gu Jingchen felt the warmth in his palm, staring at Su An intently with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Old Master Gu didn't urge him, but there was also pleading in his eyes when he looked at Su An.
finally--
Su An nodded.
"Grandpa, the matter between Gu Jingchen and me...is a little complicated, but I can promise you that I will seriously consider it."
