Chapter 54 It's hard to have both
"Aliang, what's wrong with your head? How did you get injured? Is it serious?" The old man looked at the gauze on Wen Liang's head and was very worried.
Wen Liang quickly shook his head, "Don't worry, Grandpa, it was just an accidental bump, it's not serious."
Her eyes were just blurry, not much of a problem.
"I'm glad you're okay. You're still young, so you must take care of yourself. Don't be like grandpa. Grandpa's body is not strong enough, and he won't be able to hold on for much longer." The old man said weakly.
"No. Grandpa, please don't say that. You will definitely get better and you will live a long life." Wen Liang's tears welled up in his eyes.
"Why are you still like a child, crying whenever you want?" The old man raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Wen Liang's face.
"As long as grandpa is fine, Aliang won't cry." Wen Liang said in a hoarse voice with tears in his eyes.
"Aliang, Grandpa is old now, and this is inevitable for everyone. Grandpa has already prepared himself mentally. Grandpa is not afraid, and Grandpa hopes that you are not afraid either. Okay?"
Wen Liang tightened his lips, and the corners of his lips felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't help but bend them down. In the end, he lay on the quilt and cried loudly.
She knew very well that everyone would eventually reach this point.
She was unwilling to accept her grandparents and father because they had experienced so much.
How could she accept that the grandfather who loved her the most was about to leave her?
"Good boy, don't cry." The old man stroked Wen Liang's head lovingly.
Fu Zheng stepped forward to help Wen Liang up and coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, Aliang, isn't grandpa fine?"
Wen Liang burst into laughter and wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve. "I'm really crazy. Grandpa is fine. Why am I crying? I should be laughing."
Fu Zheng looked at her forced smile, pursed his lips and raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face.
"A Zheng, A Liang, there are only three of us here, grandfather and grandson. Let's be honest. You're actually going to get a divorce today, right? If it weren't for Grandpa's sudden illness, you would have already divorced by now, right?"
Wen Liang and Fu Zheng looked at each other.
"Don't try to hide anything from me. I'm old, but I'm not confused. I know exactly what you're thinking."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Grandpa has let you down." Wen Liang's eyes were filled with tears, and her vision was blurred into a halo, and she could not see clearly at all.
"Aliang, don't cry. Grandpa is most worried about you. Grandpa knows that you appear to be the strongest and bravest, but in fact you are the most timid."
Grandpa was right. The real her was timid, cowardly, inferior, and sensitive. She didn't even dare to let Fu Zheng know that the person she liked was him.
She was afraid of being laughed at, rejected, and losing, so she acted calmly, as if only in this way she would not be hurt.
She seems to care nothing about anything because she has nothing.
"A Zheng, Grandpa knows you want to be with Chu Siyi. Grandpa can't selfishly ruin your life. I just hope you can promise Grandpa one thing."
"Grandpa, you said that as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you." Fu Zheng promised solemnly.
"Grandpa hopes that you and Aliang can get along well with each other sincerely. If you still decide to divorce after Grandpa is gone, Grandpa will tell your Grandma in advance, and she will never stop you. Can you do this?"
Fu Zheng looked at Wen Liang who was crying uncontrollably, his throat heaving, and nodded, "I promised Grandpa that I would get along well with A Liang from now on."
"Aliang, what about you?"
"Aliang also promised Grandpa that he would get along well with Azheng."
"Okay. That's good. Grandpa is relieved now." A relieved smile appeared on the old man's face. "I woke you up so late. You didn't get enough rest, did you? Go and get some rest. Grandpa is a little tired too."
He just woke up from surgery, and it was not easy for him to hold on for such a long time.
"Grandpa, go to sleep. Aliang is here with you. I won't leave until you fall asleep."
"Okay, good boy."
The old man fell asleep quickly.
Fu Zheng silently glanced at Wen Liang, but Wen Liang couldn't see it.
He could only walk up quietly, pat Wen Liang's shoulder, and point to the door.
Wen Liang slowly stood up and followed Fu Zheng to the door.
Fu Zheng whispered, "Go back and rest."
Wen Liang looked at his misty face and asked, "What about you? You've endured it all this time, why don't you go and rest?"
"I've already called my eldest brother. He'll be here soon. I'll come find you when he gets here."
"Well, I'll be leaving first."
"I'll take you upstairs."
When Wen Liang entered the ward, he asked Fu Zheng, "Should I leave the door open for you?"
"Stay, I'll be there in a moment."
"Um."
Wen Liang fell asleep on the bed, but he was no longer sleepy and tossed and turned.
Whenever she thought of her grandfather's illness, she felt a pain in her heart.
And there was also what the old man had just asked Fu Zheng to agree to. Grandpa had sacrificed his life for her to buy her a chance to get along well with Fu Zheng.
How could she deserve such treatment from her grandfather?
If on the contrary, her grandfather would not die if she separated from Fu Zheng, then she would definitely cut off ties with Fu Zheng without hesitation.
But there are no ifs.
It is difficult to have both in this world.
Faint footsteps were heard in the corridor and stopped at the door of her ward.
Fu Zheng quietly opened the door, walked to the bedside, and asked softly, "Are you still asleep?"
"No, I couldn't sleep."
Fu Zheng borrowed the independent bathroom in the ward, washed up briefly, took off his coat, opened the quilt and got into bed: "Go to sleep."
"Um."
They tacitly agreed not to mention Grandpa.
Wen Liang closed his eyes and fell asleep unknowingly.
When the sky was about to brighten, Wen Liang was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.
She reached out her hand, but then pulled it back.
That wasn't her cell phone ringtone.
Fu Zheng picked up the phone on the bedside table, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Wen Liang thought he would go out to answer the phone, but he was standing in front of the window, looking out, "Hello, Siyi."
"A Zheng, I had a nightmare, can you come and see me?"
"Sorry Siyi, if you're scared, let Wang Yan stay with you. Grandpa is sick, and I have to stay in the hospital with him, so I can't go over."
"Ah? Is Grandpa seriously ill? I remember he was very kind to me. Can I go see him?"
Fu Zheng was silent and glanced at Wen Liang on the bed.
Wen Liang hurriedly looked away, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Obviously Fu Zheng saw through it.
He covered the microphone and asked Wen Liang, "Siyi said she wanted to come and see grandpa, what do you think?"
Wen Liang's attempt at pretending to sleep failed, so she could only open her eyes, prop herself up and look at him: "I don't think it's appropriate. Grandpa just had surgery yesterday, and his condition is still not very stable. Besides, the person Grandpa probably doesn't want to see the most right now is her. If she really wants to come, then she can wait until Grandpa is transferred to the general ward."
"That's what I thought."
Fu Zheng put the phone to his ear again and said, "Sorry, Siyi, I can't come now. I'll let you come if there's a chance in the future. Besides, I don't have time to visit you these past few days."
"A Zheng, don't you want me anymore? I had a terrible dream about what happened that day. I dreamed that I was caught in a small dark room and cried out to heaven and earth, but no one answered. My voice was hoarse. They beat and scolded me, and..."
"Siyi, if you're scared, go see a psychiatrist."
"I just want you to stay with me..."
"Siyi, do you want me to choose between you and grandpa?"
“…That’s not what I meant.”
"Even if you don't mean this, I still have to tell you that between you and Grandpa, I will definitely choose Grandpa, understand?"
"I understand... Ah Zheng, if you don't want to leave me, I will definitely listen to you and go see a doctor."
"Um."
Fu Zheng hung up the phone, put on his clothes simply, and said to Wen Liang, "I'll go downstairs to see how Grandpa is doing. You can sleep a little longer."
"Yeah, okay." Wen Liang responded drowsily, almost falling asleep.
A moment later, Fu Zheng came up again, "Grandpa hasn't woken up yet. Sister-in-law is guarding the bedside."
Fu Zheng took off his coat and went back to bed, "Sleep a little longer."
Wen Liang dozed off for another half an hour, then got up, washed, and went to the ward with Fu Zheng to visit the old man.
When I arrived at the ward door, I heard voices inside.
After careful identification, it was found that one of the people speaking was an old lady who had rushed over from the old house early in the morning, and the other was Fu Yue's wife Su Qingyun.
When Wen Liang walked in, Fu Zheng took her hand and walked into the ward with her side by side.
"Grandma, sister-in-law."
When they arrived at the ward, Wen Liang and Fu Zheng greeted them.
"Now that you're here, why don't you sleep a little longer?" said the old lady.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came here. How is grandpa now?" Wen Liang took a look inside.
"Still asleep. Have you guys not eaten yet? Go quickly, we don't need so many people here."
"Well, grandma, sister-in-law, let's go eat first."
Fu Zheng took Wen Liang out of the ward.
He turned to look at Wen Liang and said, "I'll have someone send it over, or..."
"No need to go through so much trouble, just go directly to the hospital cafeteria." Wen Liang said.
"The cafeteria is crowded, and you can't see clearly. You should go back to the ward first. I'll go buy it."
"Okay."
Fu Zheng sent Wen Liang back to the ward, then went to the hospital cafeteria to bring two breakfasts and ate with Wen Liang.
