Chapter 53 Memory Regression



It was not busy at noon, and after Bai Wei had finished her meal, Shen Juan was in charge of the store, so she took out some materials and sat at the counter to make bracelets.

As time was tight, Bai Wei made five first and put them for sale in the store.

By the evening, all the bracelets were sold out, and Bai Wei was very happy.

But when he thought that Lu Siting's grandfather was still in the ward, his happy mood was diluted a lot.

Shen Juan noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, Lu Siting's grandfather is seriously ill and his condition is not very good."

Bai Wei frowned, looking worried: "He was a true hero, fighting on the battlefield when he was young, but now he is old and suffering from illness. He can only stay in the hospital, and this disease cannot be cured."

Shen Juan was silent for a while, not knowing what to say. Finally, she patted her daughter's shoulder and comforted her: "If your father is on vacation in a few days, the two of us will go to see the old man."

Life must go on.

After get off work, Bai Wei saw many young couples on the street. They were either walking a short distance apart or shoulder to shoulder, but the same thing was the look in their eyes - pure and passionate, which showed their yearning for beautiful love.

Maybe, she could stock a batch of couple accessories in her store?

Bracelets, wrist straps, cufflinks and belts may not necessarily be unsellable if they are sold in bundles.

Couples of this era are mostly reserved in their emotions, so this kind of very secretive couple accessories should be able to meet the needs of young couples.

After Bai Wei returned home, she made a few sets and planned to sell them for two days to see if they sold well. If they sold well, she would make more.

Because there were so many things to do, Bai Wei would be busy after dinner until bedtime.

She does it when she is free during the day, and has no time to do it when she is too busy. She also has to go to the hospital to see Mr. Lu every two days. Bai Wei has been really busy these days.

Lu Siting has been very busy recently, and military matters cannot be delayed forever, so he can only go to the hospital after work.

If Huang Yueya was in the hospital, she would ask someone to pass a message to Lu Siting, telling him not to go.

Occasionally, when Lu Siying has time, he will go to see his grandfather.

The family took turns to accompany the old man in the hospital.

It was another night. Bai Wei closed the shop early, so she went to the hospital with Lu Siting.

As it happened, the students had a holiday tonight, so Bai Yaotian went home early. Chen Juan told him about her in-laws, and they picked up some things and went to the hospital to visit him.

The few of them had similar times, so they met at the hospital entrance.

In the past few days, Lu Siting has become much quieter, and seems to have returned to the state before he had a blind date with Bai Wei.

Bai Yaotian didn't say much, he just patted Lu Siting on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and see your grandfather."

Bai Wei helped carry the things, and the mother and daughter walked behind, and they went to the ward together.

Old Master Lu looked much more energetic. When Bai Yaotian and Shen Juan came in, he waved and motioned for them to sit closer.

"Come if you want to. Don't bring so many things next time. It's a waste of money."

Bai Yaotian smiled and said, "We are relatives. If we can't finish these, we can give them to the children."

In this room, the age difference between the two was the smallest, so Grandpa Lu pulled Bai Yaotian aside and talked for a long time, and even didn't pay attention to his favorite eldest grandson.

But poor health means bad health. Even though Mr. Lu looked in good spirits, after chatting for a while, it was visibly that his energy and spirit were a little weakened.

Every time they came, Mr. Lu would force himself to stay healthy and pretend to be in good health to chat with them, but everyone knew what was going on in their hearts.

Although I felt heartbroken, I didn't dare to say anything to Mr. Lu.

The adults were chatting in the room, while Lu Siting and Bai Wei were sitting outside. Bai Wei asked softly, "I saw that grandpa was in good spirits these past two days. What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that this period of time is the only time left."

Lu Siting used great strength to say just a few words. He clenched his fists tightly and veins bulged on his arms.

Bai Wei immediately understood what it meant.

Old man, there is only a little time left.

Seeing Lu Siting so sad but trying to endure it, Bai Wei felt uncomfortable too.

She leaned over gently, hugged Lu Siting's arm, and said nothing. The two of them just sat there quietly.

This floor is full of single rooms and there are not many people living there, so the corridors are relatively empty.

About five or six minutes later, Bai Yaotian and Shen Juan walked out and closed the door carefully.

"The old man has gone to bed, you two should go home quickly."

Bai Wei quickly stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, you should go back early too."

When I got home, it was already ten o'clock.

After washing up, they prepared to go to bed.

In the darkness, Bai Wei stared at Lu Shiting's profile for a long time.

In fact, her period had already been over for a few days.

But everyone has been very busy these days, and with Mr. Lu's matters, it is really not suitable for them to do the unfinished task.

Mr. Lu is critically ill, and Lu Siting absolutely cannot think about such things at this time.

Bai Wei thought of the old man lying on the hospital bed again.

No matter who you are, you cannot resist the passage of time. The great hero who once made great achievements on the battlefield can now only lie in bed and suffer from illness.

Moreover, it is very likely that the old man will die this month.

Bai Wei sighed silently.

He moved closer to Lu Siting, but did not touch him.

Bai Wei just wanted to be closer to him, but didn't want to do anything.

Mr. Lu's health was deteriorating, and he even had trouble remembering people. When he saw Lu Zhenghua, he took great effort to remember that this was his son. He asked weakly, "Zhenghua, why are you here? If you... dare to skip school... I'll... break your legs."

Lu Zhenghua looked at his father in astonishment and hurried to call a doctor.

In a corner of the ward, as more and more people came to visit Mr. Lu every day, the gifts they brought also increased.

But the Lu family has its own rules, and Mr. Lu said when he was sober that he would not accept gifts from anyone, so those things went back the same way they came.

Grandpa Lu’s memory is declining and he often cannot recognize people. One day, when Lu Siting was accompanying his wife in the room, he took a nap. When he woke up, he saw his grandfather staring at him.

Lu Shiting subconsciously tensed up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw his grandfather slowly stretch out his hand.

The dry palm opened, revealing two brightly wrapped fruit candies.

"Wazi, you are too thin. Eat this candy. Grandpa, you don't like sweet things."

In just one or two sentences, Mr. Lu spoke haltingly.

He wanted to stuff the candy into Lu Siting's mouth, but his body wouldn't allow him to do so.
