Duan Ruijun patted him on the shoulder: "You go in first, I'll go buy you breakfast. No matter what, you have to eat breakfast."
After saying that, Duan Ruijun turned and left. He had originally planned to see his grandmother first, but seeing the atmosphere... he decided to let the young couple have a good chat first.
Duan Ye mustered up his courage to push open the door and enter after Duan Ruijun had been gone for quite some time.
The moment their eyes met, he saw the pain and self-blame in her eyes, and she saw the heartache and guilt in his eyes.
Duan Ye walked towards her: "How is Grandma? What did the doctor say?"
Luo Qingyuan stood up, glanced at her grandmother who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, wearing a ventilator and looking lifeless, and her heart couldn't help but clench again, and her brows furrowed.
Duan Ye wanted to say something, but Luo Qingyuan spoke first: "Let's go outside and talk, so Grandma can get some rest."
Duan Ye nodded, and the two of them left the ward one after the other, arriving at the end of the hospital corridor.
Luo Qingyuan crossed her arms and looked out the window at the bustling traffic on the street.
It was almost eight o'clock in the morning. There were many breakfast stalls on the street in front of the hospital, and people were coming and going, making it look very lively.
However, this is a hospital, and the constant flow of people in a hospital is not a good sign. But for people living in this world, hospitals seem to be an inevitable part of life.
Duan Ye looked at her back, so thin and lonely. He wanted to hug her and tell her it was okay, that no matter what happened, he would always be there for her.
But Luo Qingyuan suddenly asked, "Did you know about Ye Nuan sending a letter to Grandma?"
Duan Ye felt inexplicably flustered: "I didn't know, Captain Yang told me today..."
"Before today, I didn't know that Ye Nuan would have contact with my grandmother, and I didn't know that my grandmother's accident was related to Ye Nuan."
"Furthermore, Captain Yang has already determined that the letter wasn't sent by Ye Nuan; someone else used Ye Nuan's name to send it to Grandma..."
Duan Ye genuinely had no idea, nor did he expect that his grandmother's visit that day was actually about this matter.
"So you're still defending Ye Nuan even now?"
Luo Qingyuan's words chilled Duan Ye's heart even more, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He wanted to explain, but he had already made himself perfectly clear.
"Qingyuan, I'm not lying to you, nor am I making excuses."
"At three o'clock this morning, Ye Nuan fell to her death while holding Jiang Jingchuan."
A ripple finally appeared in Luo Qingyuan's calm eyes. She turned to look at Duan Ye: "Ye Nuan... is dead?"
Duan Ye nodded: "Dead."
Luo Qingyuan's legs suddenly went weak and she almost couldn't stand up, but Duan Ye caught her in time.
She heard Duan Ye's voice in her ear: "It's okay, no matter what happens, I'm here for you, so don't talk to me like that, okay?"
The question Luo Qingyuan asked Ye Nuan just now really startled Duan Ye.
Duan Ye knew that his grandmother's serious illness was a significant blow to Luo Qingyuan, so... he couldn't say anything, but he was afraid that it would cause problems in their relationship.
Luo Qingyuan's eyes were filled with sorrow: "The doctor said Grandma might only have a few days left..."
"Ah Ye, that's my only grandmother..."
That was her grandmother, who would always be with her no matter where she was.
She had originally planned to bring her grandmother to live with her after getting married, but now that she was finally married, it seemed like her grandmother was about to leave her.
The thought of this made Luo Qingyuan's heart clench with pain.
She thought she could blame all of this on Ye Nuan, that Ye Nuan was the one who caused it all, and that she must make Ye Nuan pay with her life.
But Ye Nuan died.
Luo Qingyuan could no longer deceive herself; it seemed that all of this was caused by her insistence on holding this wedding.
If she hadn't been so insistent on having a wedding and had just lived happily with Duan Ye, the Jiang family wouldn't have had an opportunity to take advantage of her, and her grandmother wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
Luo Qingyuan closed her eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks and onto Duan Ye's shoulder, wetting his clothes.
Duan Ye sensed it and felt even more distressed, so he could only hold her even tighter.
"It was my fault," Luo Qingyuan said in a trembling voice.
"It's my fault that Grandma is in trouble..." In her lover's arms, she could no longer control her emotions and broke down in tears.
Duan Ye, who hadn't slept much for two days and one night, now had bloodshot eyes. Seeing the usually strong Luo Qingyuan like this, he felt extremely distressed and guilty.
If he had gone to the Luo family to pick up his grandmother that day, none of this would have happened...
But in this world, there are everything, except "what ifs".
They didn't hug for long because the hospital was getting busier and the nurses said the patient had woken up, so Luo Qingyuan quickly wiped away her tears and went back to the ward.
But what they saw was an old woman with lifeless eyes. When she saw them come in, her once kind eyes were now filled with confusion. Because of a stroke, her mouth was crooked... She babbled as if she wanted to say something.
Luo Qingyuan's eyes welled up with tears, but she held them back and ran quickly to her grandmother's hand, saying, "Grandma, what do you want to say? I'm here, Qingyuan is here..."
Luo Qingyuan heard a muffled voice: "You...who are you..."
Although she had been prepared, Luo Qingyuan still couldn't hold back her tears when she heard those words.
She smiled and held the old lady's hand, repeating to her again and again, patiently saying, "I am Luo Qingyuan, your granddaughter Luo Qingyuan. Grandma, I've told you this time, but don't forget next time, or I'll really get angry..."
The old lady opened her eyes and babbled a lot. Luo Qingyuan couldn't understand, but she bent over and listened patiently.
Duan Ruijun arrived at this moment, and Duan Ye glanced outside before walking out.
Duan Ruijun was carrying steaming hot buns and soy milk, as well as porridge and chicken soup for the elderly. He didn't know what the situation was, so he just bought a little of everything.
How is Grandma?
"It doesn't look like things are going well."
As Duan Ruijun handed him breakfast, he said, "How about we try going to the military hospital? We can apply to have Grandma transferred there..."
Duan Ye rarely shook his head: "As for hospitals, the Luo family must have already consulted countless specialists..."
Duan Ruijun fell silent for a moment.
Yes, when it comes to money, who can compare to the Luo family?
Duan Ruijun took a steamed bun, took a bite and sighed, "No matter what, just do your best."
"Grandma means something different to Qingyuan, I'm really scared..."
As Duan Ye spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, which were filled with pain and anxiety.
If Grandma really passed away, Duan Ye truly didn't know how they would proceed with their lives.
Just then, Luo Qingyuan's urgent cry rang out: "Doctor! Where's the doctor? Doctor!!!"
