Both Yu Hai and his wife were there, looking very tired. Old Yu's bedside was filled with various medical equipment, and the atmosphere was serious and somber.
Old Yu had put on an oxygen mask and closed his eyes tightly; it was unclear whether he was asleep or unconscious.
Chen Hong left her son outside in the corridor, not daring to let him into the ward. She carried the fruit basket she had bought at the hospital entrance into the ward, stood in front of the bed, and carefully examined Old Man Yu's complexion and physical condition.
Old Yu's face was pale with a bluish-gray tinge; in the words of experienced rural elders, he already looked like he was about to die.
"Where's Yu Yang? Didn't you bring him?" Yu Hai took the fruit basket from Chen Hong and placed it on the windowsill next to him.
Liu Lan sat on a stool in the corner, just watching them without moving or saying a word.
"He's here, he's outside. I didn't let him in. Is the old man asleep?"
"Yes! He's being lucid less and less these days. Let Yu Yang come in and see his grandfather!"
Yu Hai said in a low voice.
"No, I already checked through the door, and the child can't be allowed into the ward."
His grandfather has pneumonia, and I'm worried about infecting the child. I'll bring him over to talk to the old man once his grandfather's condition stabilizes.
Since the old man is asleep, I'll head back now. You all continue with your work!
After saying that, Chen Hong turned and left the ward.
Liu Lan, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly let out a "Tch!" sound, it was hard to tell whether it was disdain or contempt.
Chen Hong didn't even bother to glance at her, pretending not to hear, and hurriedly walked out, taking the child to the elevator in the corridor, preparing to leave the hospital.
"Chen Hong, stop right there, I have something to say to you." Yu Hai chased after her and entered the elevator.
Chen Hong pressed down on a layer, looked at him calmly, and said, "What's there to talk about between us? We've had nothing to do with each other for a long time now."
"Who says it's not related? Yu Yang is also my son! Since you brought him here, why don't you let him go in and see his grandfather?"
"This might be the last time they see each other! You're so heartless! My father always thought about Yu Yang; this is his eldest grandson!"
Chen Hong glanced at him disdainfully and said nothing.
The other five people in the elevator watched them silently. Perhaps this scene often plays out here, and passersby have long lost their curiosity.
The elevator doors dinged as they reached the first floor. Chen Hong led her son out of the elevator and continued walking outwards.
Yu Hai, oblivious to the situation, continued to chatter behind Chen Hong and her son: "No matter what, Yu Yang was raised by my father. Even after the divorce, Yu Yang still has to respect his grandfather and acknowledge me as his father!"
His grandfather is so sick, what's wrong with missing him and wanting to see him? Is it worth it for you to obstruct him like this?
"No matter what, my dad has treated you pretty well, right? For you to do this, not even letting them see each other once, is just heartless."
Chen Hong had already walked to the parking lot when Yu Hai was still following her.
She didn't want to talk to him, not because she wanted to save face for him, but because she didn't want to swear in front of her child and damage her good image in her son's eyes.
But now, she could no longer suppress the primal power within her. Damn it, if she didn't make a sound, did he think she was a pushover?
Chen Hong opened the car door, put her son in the back seat, and smiled gently at him, "Son, sit in the car for a while, Mom will talk to your dad for a bit and be right back!"
With a "bang!" the car door slammed shut, and Chen Hong's expression changed as she turned her head.
He grabbed Yu Hai by the collar and dragged him behind a cement pillar.
She slammed Yu Hai against a pillar and her bad temper exploded. "Yu Hai, do you have any sense of right and wrong? What's wrong with your father right now? And you're still picking on us, mother and son?"
You think I'm being disrespectful? You dare talk to me like that? Didn't I take care of your dad when he looked after my child?
Do I owe you or him? Did we cause your father to become so ill? My child and I came to see him; coming is a favor, not coming is our right!
Your dad has pneumonia! Yu Yang is so young, you don't care, but I wouldn't let my son be in danger.
To tell you the truth, I think I've done quite a favor to the Yu family by bringing him to the hospital for a checkup.
Last year when your father was hospitalized, I brought Yu Yang to visit him. Your mother-in-law had a long face and whispered to me, asking me to bring fish, shrimp and sea cucumber to your family.
She's like a dung beetle wearing a mask—shameless! How dare she covet my things?
She and her daughter are truly mother and daughter; that slut, that trashy mistress, still has the nerve to show her face in front of me! Anyone with even a shred of shame would avoid me.
By the way, that piece of trash dared to talk rudely to me in the hospital room. She's just glad I'm well-mannered and that we were in a hospital room. If it were anywhere else, you'd better try it, and I'd slap her across the face.
Tell them to stop nagging me. I have a bad temper, and if I hit them, it's their own fault.
Besides, would we want to associate with a scumbag like you? If it weren't for you two playing the victim for my son, I wouldn't care whether you lived or died!
I hope you can come and see this old man. I'm doing this to instill in my child a positive outlook on life, emphasizing the "Five Stresses, Four Beauties, and Three Loves"!
To be honest, in your dad's heart, you scumbag are much more important than his eldest grandson. I'm not stupid; I know exactly what you're thinking.
Why didn't you let your youngest son stay with your dad in the hospital? The old man takes care of your little darling every day!
You two must be worried that your precious child won't be well in the hospital room, right? You have a precious child, but my son is even more precious!
