Chapter 077: She is really useless!
Shi Runrun immediately grabbed Xiao Xuezheng's arm and shook his head at him.
Can you really say that?
Is it really okay to tell my grandparents that my child is gone?
Grandpa's health is so poor, the doctor said he can't be stimulated, what if...
However, Xiao Xue Zheng seemed determined to tell the truth today.
He gently shook her hand off, then turned around, looking at his grandparents. He said in a serious and resolute voice, "Grandpa and grandma, Runrun's child died over a month ago. She was in a car accident, and I haven't had the chance to explain it to you. First, I was worried about your health, and second, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it."
When Grandpa Xiao on the hospital bed heard his grandson's words, his whole body trembled and his old eyes widened.
If he wasn't lying on the hospital bed, Shi Runrun felt that he might even fall to the ground.
Grandma Xiao, who was sitting nearby, couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears again. She asked Shi Runrun again, "Run girl, is what Xue Zheng said true?! Is the child really gone?! Don't keep silent! Say something!"
Grandma Xiao's voice couldn't help but become louder and sharper.
It was the first time that Shi Runrun saw the always kind Grandma Xiao show this side of her. In an instant, tears fell from her red eyes.
"Grandma, I..."
Shi Runrun's voice and body were shaking, and she couldn't utter a word.
She really didn't know how to tell such a cruel thing to her parents who were so looking forward to having a great-grandchild.
The next second, Grandpa Xiao, who was lying on the hospital bed, struggled to get up, got out of bed, and came to her. He then grabbed her arm tightly, almost crushing it, and asked in a loud voice, "Run girl, tell me one last time, child, is it really gone? Tell me! I want to hear it from you in person!"
Shi Runrun pursed her moist lips, cried, and finally could only nod and say "hmm".
The next second, Grandpa Xiao's huge body trembled and shook, and he was about to fall to the ground!
Fortunately, Xiao Xue Zheng was quick-witted and supported him in time!
The ward instantly fell into a dead silence.
No one dared to speak.
Only the low sobs of Shi Runrun and Grandma Xiao were left.
After about five minutes, Grandpa Xiao pushed his grandson's hand away, supported his shaky body, looked around the ward, looked at everyone, and finally set his eyes on the faces of Xiao Xuezhen and Shi Runrun, and laughed sarcastically.
"Good! Good! You two! Well done! My grandson and granddaughter-in-law whom I love so much! Such a big thing happened to you and you hid it from me! Do you take an old man like me for a fool?!"
Grandpa Xiao roared, veins popping out on his wrinkled old face. Then he took his crutch, stood up, pushed open the door of the ward, and staggered out.
Grandma Xiao looked at him and said in panic, "Old man! You're not well yet, you can't walk yet!"
Grandma Xiao shouted anxiously and quickly chased after him, wiping her tears.
The two old people went out, and in an instant only they and their aunt Xiao Shujing were left in the ward.
Xiao Shujing sighed and came in front of them. Her eyes finally fell on Shi Runrun's face and she said solemnly, "I told you long ago that this matter can't be hidden from them for long."
After saying that, Xiao Shujing also followed him out.
The door closed, and only she and Xiao Xuezheng were left in the ward.
Shi Runrun couldn't stop crying. She wiped her wet and red eyes with her hands and kept saying in a trembling voice: "It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuezheng came over, sighed, and hugged her in his arms, comforting her: "It's not your fault... Runrun, don't think about it. The child has been gone for so long."
Shi Runrun: “…”
She had accepted this matter for so long, but now that the truth was revealed, her heart still ached.
She cried, looked up at Xiao Xuezheng, and asked in a trembling voice: "Xiao Xuezheng, why do you want to tell them now? Wouldn't it be better to keep it a secret for a while?"
"I can't hide it anymore. Grandpa is such a smart man, but he suddenly called you and me over and asked me this question. It's obvious that he knows something. I can't hide it anymore. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It's better to tell them. At least we don't have to keep lying anymore."
Shi Runrun wiped away her tears and recalled the disappointed look her grandparents had given her just now. Shi Runrun felt heartbroken when she thought about it.
Since she married into the Xiao family, her grandparents were the two people who treated her best besides Xiao Xuezheng, and yet, she had disappointed them so much...
At this moment, suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open again from the outside!
Xiao Shujing rushed in anxiously, panting at them, "Xue Zheng! This is bad! Grandpa fainted in the corridor not long after he left!"
What……
Shi Runrun widened his eyes in shock!
Xiao Xue Zheng let her go and rushed out the door with Xiao Shujing!
"What's going on now?! Has the doctor arrived?!"
"He's been sent to the operating room. The doctor said he might be having another heart attack! He needs to be operated on immediately!"
Xiao Xue Zheng immediately followed her to the operating room, leaving Shi Runrun alone standing in the cold ward, at a loss.
…
Grandpa's condition is very critical.
His already weak heart had finally recovered a lot after a few days of rest, but the news that Shi Runrun had lost his child was like a heavy hammer that hit his heart hard again!
The doctor said that the heart is failing rapidly and the situation is not optimistic!
Shi Runrun was stunned. She didn't know that her grandfather cared so much about her child.
The fact that she lost her child was such a huge blow to her grandfather!
Everyone waited outside the operating room, anxiously waiting.
The operation was not over until eight o'clock in the evening, and the red light above the operating room was still shining brightly, worrying countless people.
Shi Runrun sat on the bench in the corridor, leaning on Xiao Xuezheng's shoulder. Her little face was pale and her almond-shaped eyes were red and swollen.
She could no longer cry and kept apologizing to her grandmother, her aunt, and Xiao Xue Zheng.
But grandma seemed disappointed in her. She did not accept her apology and ignored her. She just stared at the closed back door of the operating room.
However, her aunt, who had not had a good impression of her before, now comforted her and kept telling her that everything was okay.
As for Xiao Xue Zheng, needless to say, he kept comforting her, soothing her, and holding her in his arms to coax her.
But even so, Shi Runrun knew that she had really made a big mistake!
As a mother, she was so useless that she failed to save her own child. She was truly unforgivable...
Shi Runrun suddenly felt really ashamed. If there was a hole in the ground, she would have wanted to crawl into it and disappear.
She really feels sorry for her grandparents...
Please God, bless grandpa to be healthy and come out of the operating room safely...
