Chapter 319 Sweating like oil, pulse as slippery as a pecking motion
A minute later, Shen's father, who had been hanging his head, finally raised his head and walked into the emergency room.
Shen Ziming composed himself and led Xu Jin inside.
Shen Qianqian followed closely behind.
The other doctors and nurses in the emergency room had already left.
Dean Kong did not follow them into the emergency room.
They want to dedicate the patient's final moments to those closest to them.
"You've come." Old Master Shen was lying in bed, and when he saw them, he struggled to sit up.
Mr. Shen immediately went over and helped the old man lean against the headboard.
Upon seeing the people in the ward, he smiled, and his spirits immediately lifted.
It was as if he wasn't the one who had just received emergency treatment.
With a wrinkle at the corner of his mouth, Grandpa Shen said, "You must have been terrified, right? It's normal for an old man like me to get sick at this age."
Father Shen hesitated, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing the old man in such a state, the resentment that had been lingering in my heart suddenly dissipated.
Seeing that he couldn't say a word for a long time, Grandpa Shen suddenly said, "If you have nothing to say, just stay over there. I want to talk to my grandchildren."
Shen's father didn't refute, but buried his head and walked to the side.
Mother Shen followed, leaving the time for the old man and the children.
"Ziming, Xiaojin, Qianqian, come here." Old Master Shen beckoned.
Shen Ziming walked over, feeling inexplicably sad, his eyes red, but he held back his tears and managed to call out to the old man, "Grandpa."
Shen Ziming held back his tears, but Shen Qianqian burst into tears.
Xu Jin couldn't hold back her tears either.
Grandpa Shen reached out and patted Shen Qianqian's head.
"Qianqian, there's no rush to get married. We can consider it slowly when we meet someone we like and who is suitable. If you do meet someone, remember to bring your grandfather along."
Then he looked at Shen Ziming and Xu Jin, "A while ago, what Grandpa was most worried about was you two. Now that I've seen you get married, Grandpa has no regrets. Ziming, you have to treat Xiao Jin well, okay?"
Shen Ziming nodded, his eyes red.
Grandpa Shen was only energetic for a short while. After talking to the children, he chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Shen for a few minutes.
But as we talked, my mood gradually started to decline.
His forehead and neck suddenly felt hot and sweaty. After talking for a while, the old man smacked his lips and said, "I'm a little thirsty, Bingting, could you pour me a glass of water?"
Father Shen immediately went to pour water.
While they were getting water, Jiang Ning and Shen Mo arrived with the children.
When Jiang Ning walked into the emergency room and saw the old man, she was stunned.
After dragging on for so long, the old man's illness finally came to this.
She quickly walked up to the old man and took his pulse.
Sweating profusely like oil, and a pulse as slippery as a bee—these are signs of impending death.
Jiang Ning let go of her hand.
The old man... he's passing away...
"Ningning." Mother Shen grabbed Jiang Ning's arm. "Your grandfather..."
Before Mother Shen could finish speaking, the old man interrupted her.
Grandpa Shen said, "Don't ask Ning'er anymore. No one knows my current health condition better than me."
"I've been able to live for nearly three more years thanks to my two capable granddaughters-in-law. That's enough for now."
Shen's mother still looked at Jiang Ning with hopeful eyes.
The same gaze that Shen's father gave him was also the same.
After a long silence, Jiang Ning and the old man met eyes for a second before she finally shook her head.
The last straw has been slain, and everyone in the emergency room fell silent.
Shen Mo went up and talked to the old man for a while, then squeezed the old man's hand tighter.
After exchanging a few words with the old man, she looked at the children next to Jiang Ning and beckoned them over.
The children are still young, but they will obediently call the old man "Grandpa" when they see him.
"Great-grandfather".
"Great-grandfather".
"Eh—" the old man replied with a smile.
Now that all his closest family members are here, the old man is happily chatting with this person and that person.
Even the youngest children in the family were not left out, and Zhiqi also said a few words to the old man.
With someone keeping him company and talking, the old man's cloudy eyes never lost a smile.
A while later.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, as well as Mr. He and the others, also arrived at the hospital.
After Mr. and Mrs. Xu stepped forward and said a few words to the old man, Xu's parents went up to him.
Only then did Grandpa He walk to the bedside and sit down.
Seeing that Old Man Shen was sweating again, he immediately took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it for him.
Grandpa He looked at Grandpa Shen and said, "Old man Shen, there's no one to argue with me anymore."
"Of course." Old Master Shen chuckled and scolded, "No one will argue with you anymore, and I won't have to listen to you scolding me all the time."
"Sigh, no one's going to argue with me anymore, I'm so bored," said Grandpa He. "Who told you to be so blind and ignorant before? I have to scold you to wake you up."
Grandpa Shen chuckled and admitted, "Back then, this old man was quite blind."
As he spoke, he looked around.
Fortunately, he recovered from blindness later.
Grandpa He was the only elder in the house besides Grandpa Shen, and no one interrupted them when they were talking.
Having said what he wanted to say to the children, Grandpa Shen will now speak to Grandpa He.
The two elderly men talked about the days when they fought together and the day they drove the invaders out of China. Just listening to them was enough to stir one's blood.
But Old Master Shen's blood was growing colder and colder.
Finally, Old Master Shen smiled and said, "Old He, I'm going to see my comrades now."
At his age, Grandpa He no longer shied away from anything, and he smiled and said, "Okay, you go first, I'll come back to keep you company later."
Old Master Shen scoffed, "Don't be so quick. I don't want to see you, you silly old man."
The words were meant as a joke, but the two old men clasped hands as if they had fought side by side before.
Grandpa Shen held the hand of his former comrade-in-arms, turned his head and scanned the other people in the ward one by one, and finally withdrew his gaze and slowly closed his eyes.
Grandpa He felt the grip loosen...
