Chapter 1464: Persistence is too painful
Nan Nan has a shallow family bond, and so does he. In this life, no matter how much wealth, fame, and power he has, he still has no relatives around him.
The appearance of Nan Nan filled this blank in his life.
He lived for eighty years, but the ten or so years after he accepted Qiao Nan as his apprentice were the most enjoyable ones.
Mr. Lin felt as if he had finally gritted his teeth and endured the good and happy days, but how come in the blink of an eye, he was gone?
Every time he wouldn't let Qiao Nan and her three children come into the house to see him, seeing the sad expressions on Qiao Nan's mother and her three children's faces, the one who felt even sadder was Elder Lin. As soon as Qiao Nan's mother and her three children left, Elder Lin locked himself in the room, and even when the aunt who was taking care of him called him, he refused to open the door.
Even though Elder Lin had prepared himself mentally, when he spoke to Zhai Sheng, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. It hurt so much: "Zhai Sheng, I'm leaving Nan Nan in your care. If you don't take good care of Nan Nan and let Nan Nan suffer any injustice, I won't let you go."
He no longer had the ability to continue this protection. No matter how heartbroken and reluctant he was, Elder Lin could only pass this sweet responsibility to Zhai Sheng's shoulders.
"What disease?" Zhai Sheng did not answer, but Lin Yuankang knew that Zhai Sheng had agreed. After all, he entrusted him with Zhai Sheng's own wife and biological children. Looking at Lin's old man's skinny body, Zhai Sheng closed his eyes and asked in a dark tone.
"Stomach cancer." Facing his incurable disease, Mr. Lin answered very calmly: "It's in the late stage. There's no cure."
"Why is this happening? Wasn't it discovered earlier?" Zhai Sheng knew that if it was in the early or middle stages, it could actually be cured.
At this moment, Elder Lin was able to calmly talk to Zhai Sheng about his health problems: "I discovered it a long time ago." With Qiao Nan as his apprentice and the three lovely grandchildren, Sanbao, Elder Lin felt that his life was bright and his days were getting better and better.
Once people have a goal, they will naturally cherish their lives.
Knowing that he was getting old and that his body parts would have problems, he would need to have repairs from time to time to ensure his longevity and allow himself to spend more time with Qiao Nan and her two children. Lin Yuankang was very health-conscious and went to the hospital for a physical check-up from time to time.
In fact, the doctor first discovered that Mr. Lin had stomach problems more than four years ago, which was the last time Mr. Lin went on a business trip abroad for the country and was protected by Peng Yu.
That time, Mr. Lin not only completed the task assigned by the country, but also went to check his own physical condition. After getting the same answer, Mr. Lin bought a treatment plan from a foreign doctor and ran back to China to have himself treated in a domestic hospital.
At that time, Mr. Lin was only suffering from mid-stage stomach cancer.
As long as the diseased part is removed and the tumor does not recur, Mr. Lin’s illness can be considered cured.
After the operation, the doctor observed Mr. Lin for half a year and gave him a recovery answer. But the doctor reminded Mr. Lin that even if he recovered, he must continue to come to the hospital for checkups from time to time just in case, so as to avoid a recurrence of cancer and discover it too late.
Who would have thought that everything was fine in the first few years, until last year, when Mr. Lin went to the hospital for another check-up, he was not only told that his stomach cancer had relapsed, but it had skipped the early and middle stages and had become the late stage, and there was no cure!
Having stomach cancer, even if Mr. Lin insisted on radiation therapy and taking medicine, his old body could not withstand such torture. Gradually, Mr. Lin was afraid that Qiao Nan would notice something, so he simply let his aunt push him to sit in a wheelchair because of his inconvenient legs. In this way, as long as Mr. Lin wore more and bigger clothes and covered his legs with a blanket, his legs would be protected from the wind. In addition, even if the two met, Mr. Lin would never let Qiao Nan stay in front of him for too long.
Half a year had passed, and Qiao Nan occasionally felt that Mr. Lin had lost weight. Every time she asked Mr. Lin, she got a negative answer. Another time, Mr. Lin said, "I have lost weight, which is not normal. I am an old man, I don't exercise much, and my appetite is not as good as you young people. There should be no old man of my age who can still gain weight, right?"
Old Lin has become like this. Qiao Nan thought back and realized that it was rare for an old man of Lin's age to gain weight. Qiao Nan gave up her doubts. She never thought that Old Lin would use such a stupid trick to pretend to be fat and successfully fooled her. After all, she never thought of the bad side, so she naturally had less doubts.
My aunt has worked for Mr. Lin for several years. Although Mr. Lin is a loner, he has a good temper and is a nice person. Whenever my aunt's family has problems, such as troubles or lack of money, Mr. Lin will help.
So, knowing that Mr. Lin really wanted to keep Qiao Nan a secret, Auntie helped him. Without Auntie's help, how could Mr. Lin have kept Qiao Nan a secret until now?
After hearing Elder Lin admit to Zhai Sheng that he was seriously ill, Auntie couldn't help crying out loud: "Uncle Lin can hardly eat anything now." A few months ago, Uncle Lin would eat and then vomit, and then eat again.
Because Uncle Lin knew that if he didn't eat, he would be exhausted and powerless. Qiao Nan was such a smart girl, she might find out something.
So, Auntie just watched Lin Lao forcing himself to eat. She looked so painful that sometimes she couldn't help wanting to secretly tell Qiao Nan, or to snatch the food from Lin Lao's hand. It's better to live than to die, but this way of living is too painful.
Now, Mr. Lin’s condition has reached a very serious level: he is unable to eat.
Of course, Mr. Lin could not eat anymore. Given his physical condition, no matter how slow his metabolism was, as long as he was still alive, he would still be able to metabolize. In just two or three days, Mr. Lin, who was not fat to begin with, became completely out of shape.
In this state, how could Mr. Lin dare to let Qiao Nan come to see him, or let the three children come to see him.
Lin is a man who doesn't like beauty. Even so, he himself can't accept his current appearance, let alone others. Therefore, after Zhai Sheng entered the Lin family, he found that there were no mirrors or even the slightest reflective glass in the Lin family.
Auntie saw all the pain Mr. Lin endured every minute and every second. When she saw Zhai Sheng coming today, her aunt was actually very happy. She hoped that Zhai Sheng's appearance would make Mr. Lin determined and free her as soon as possible. Really, living like this is worse than death.
