Thinking of Shen Xu, Li Hongxia couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Shen Xu was a sick child who didn't understand anything.
But precisely because of this, he has the most innocent and pure nature.
Shen Xu's eyes were clean, as clear as a spring.
In Li Hongxia's memory, there was once a child with eyes similar to hers. He would always look at her with wet, helpless eyes.
However, she later did something wrong.
There was no longer any trace of her in those eyes.
It seems that people always reminisce about the past and count their memories before they die.
Li Hongxia couldn't help but recall Shen Xu's adorable appearance when he was first born, and also the memory of how she had roughly snatched away his most cherished doll and thrown it away.
She recalled the years of scheming and betrayal with Zhong Yan, and also her initial indifference and neglect towards Shen Fu...
...
Li Hongxia has nothing to regret about all the blessings and hardships, misfortunes and joys, but she can't help but sigh.
She had never done anything good in her life. The only thing that made her feel proud and honored was probably raising Shen Xu and protecting him.
She was worried about Shen Xu.
She felt a pang of regret for not being able to plan and arrange everything for him. But now, she had no choice but to leave.
The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that Shen Xu had met Ning Wan and Ning Yanshu. With the two of them around, Li Hongxia knew that Shen Fu would definitely not abandon Shen Xu.
And she could then entrust Shen Xu to Shen Fu's care with peace of mind...
...
When Shen Xu was halfway through his meal, he suddenly stopped eating.
Sitting next to him, Ning Yanshu, who had been paying close attention to the situation, asked in confusion, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Is there no meat left? Don't worry, Xiaoshu will get you some." After saying that, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in Shen Xu's bowl.
Shen Xu shook his head frantically, pushing the bowl away from him.
He then left his seat and tried to run outside.
Fortunately, Ning Wan stopped him quickly: "Where are you going? It's already dark outside, it's dangerous to run around."
Ning Yanshu jumped off the chair and followed Chen Xu to his side: "Yeah, big brother, there are kidnappers outside who like to grab children when it gets dark. They're even scarier than monsters!"
Shen Xu was restless, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
She kept calling out, "Grandma, Grandma..."
"Mom, my little brother misses Grandma." Ning Yanshu looked at Ning Wan and pleaded, "Shall we take him to the hospital to visit Grandma?"
"Even if you want to visit Grandma, you need to eat first." Ning Wan pulled them back to the table. "Eat your food, and then we'll go to the hospital, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu obediently returned to his seat and haphazardly picked at the rice in his bowl.
He ate large mouthfuls of rice, swallowing and chewing expressionlessly, then repeating the action.
Like a pre-programmed robot, devoid of self-awareness...
...
After finishing their meal, Ning Wan took Ning Yanshu and Shen Xu to the hospital.
When we arrived at the floor where Li Hongxia's ward was located by elevator, the medical staff there were all in a hurry and dared not linger.
Various instruments and medicine bottles were successively sent to the emergency room.
Here, Ning Wan also saw Shen Fu and Shen Yurong.
Shen Fu was also surprised to see Ning Wan.
He hurried over and asked, "Wanwan, what brings you here?"
“Ah Xu wanted to visit Grandma, so I brought them over after I finished eating…” Ning Wan’s heart sank halfway through her sentence: “Has something happened?”
Shen Fu looked at Shen Xu, who was following behind Ning Wan, took a deep breath, and then sighed heavily: "The old lady suddenly stopped breathing and is being resuscitated..."
Shen Xu stood there blankly, unable to react for a long time.
He didn't quite understand Shen Fu's words, but he also seemed to understand something.
Shen Xu could still hear his heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
The next instant, it felt as if a pair of large hands were tightly gripping his heart.
He felt short of breath, as if he were suffocating. His mind was a jumbled mess.
This feeling made him feel so uncomfortable.
He instinctively took a few steps back, wanting to escape. He wanted to hide back in the closet in his room.
Wait until the pain and discomfort in my heart subside before coming out...
...
Suddenly, a small hand grasped my cold palm.
Shen Xu stiffly turned around and saw Ning Yanshu smiling at him, saying, "Little brother, don't be afraid! Xiao Shu is with you!"
He looked down at his hand that was being held.
The warmth of the fingertips slowly transfers to the palm.
His heart still hurts a lot, but he doesn't seem so panicked anymore.
"Um……"
...
The waiting time always feels long.
Ning Yanshu sat with Shen Xu on a bench outside the emergency room all night. Ning Wan, Shen Fu, and Shen Yurong also sat beside them, and no one spoke.
In such an environment, any words of comfort seem inadequate.
Despite several hours of emergency treatment, Li Hongxia ultimately could not pull through...
...
Shen Jiahao, who arrived late after receiving the news, buried his face in Li Hongxia's arms and wept bitterly.
As an adult, his heartbreaking appearance of crying so bitterly moved the medical staff standing around him.
Gao Muyun stood to one side.
Although she didn't lose her composure like Shen Jiahao, she still had red eyes and kept wiping away tears.
Shen Xinrou was standing next to Shen Xinxing.
With Li Hongxia's passing, Zhang Yuan, as her granddaughter, was in mourning and naturally could not move into Zhang Yuan's house in the short term.
