“Ningning, don’t be like this, we…” Li Zhenting hugged Shen Ning even tighter, reluctant to leave.
"Let's go." Shen Ning said in a low voice, "If you don't leave, I'll scream, but..."
"Okay, I'll go." Just when Shen Ning was about to say the last word "yes", Li Zhenting had no choice but to agree and sat up unsatisfied.
"Mr. Li, please sign the child's agreement. This way, we can separate everything clearly and there is no need to fight anymore. It will be better for both of us to avoid a lawsuit." Shen Ning reminded coldly from behind.
Li Zhenting's heart suddenly felt like it was torn apart, and it hurt so much.
He left without a word.
Shen Ning stared at the ceiling with his eyes open and fell asleep without knowing when.
Early in the morning, Shen Ning brought the children to pay their respects to Mr. Li Jichun.
I heard that the old man coughed up blood again last night.
"Madam, Master, please be prepared. The old man's condition is not optimistic and has worsened in the past few days. Now I prescribe some of the latest developed medicines for him every day, which are not available on the market, but the consequences probably won't change much. There's no way. We have tried our best. No one in the medical field can currently conquer this disease. Please accept my condolences." She had just come out of the elevator when she heard the doctor's voice coming from the corridor over there. Li Wanqing and Li Zhenting were escorting a middle-aged man wearing glasses towards the elevator. She immediately dodged to the side while holding Xixi.
This middle-aged man is a well-known professor in the imperial capital. He has a good relationship with the Li family. Usually, when important figures of the Li family fall ill, he will come in person to see the doctor and follow them.
"Thank you, Professor Luo, we understand." Li Wanqing wiped her eyes, feeling very sad. The muscles on Li Zhenting's face were tense, and he was inexplicably sad.
His beloved grandfather would soon leave him, and he could not accept this bad news.
Shen Ning hid nearby until the three of them entered the elevator, then she came out holding Xixi. At this time, the door of another elevator opened, and Keke, Dingding and Xiaoxiao ran out, with the special caregiver holding Beibei following behind them.
"Mommy, let's go see great-grandfather and great-grandmother." The three little ones didn't know about their great-grandfather's illness. They smiled with innocence on their faces.
Shen Ning nodded heavily, thinking about the doctor's words, feeling sad and complicated.
Deep down, she really didn't want the old man to leave the world so soon, but fate was cruel and no one could do anything about it. But on the other hand, if the old man left, she could also leave here, and this would make her feel inexplicably relieved.
"Ningning, you're here." Old Man Li was lying on the bed with a pale face. Only when he saw Shen Ning and the children did a kind smile immediately appear on his old face.
"Grandpa, good morning. I just heard from the doctor that your illness has improved a lot." Shen Ning smiled slightly, pretending to be cheerful, to comfort him.
"Well, it's much better." The old man smiled, but the light in his cloudy eyes became even dimmer.
Although no one had kept it from him, he was a veteran and should have a clear understanding of his illness.
"Keke, Dingding, Xiaoxiao, don't touch the great grandfather, he is sick now." Shen Ning saw the three little ones pestering the old man, some pulling his hands, some pinching his feet, and was afraid that they would hurt the old man, so he immediately gave instructions.
"It's okay, I just like seeing them." Li Jichun smiled, and stroked the children's cute faces with his skinny fingers, his face full of love.
The three little ones faced their beloved great-grandfather without any scruples, chattering away, their innocent laughter echoing far away.
When Li Wanqing and Li Zhenting came back, they heard the children's laughter from afar and walked in.
