During Xia Liang's senior year of college, her grandfather suddenly fell ill. Although it wasn't anything life-threatening, the flare-up of some long-standing ailments caused the old man considerable suffering. Upon learning this, Xia Liang immediately dropped everything and took her grandfather to the hospital.
At the hospital, Xia Liang accompanied her grandfather through various examinations and follow-up appointments. Seeing him lying in bed, pale and weak, her heart was filled with worry and heartache. She kept comforting him, telling him that the doctor said his condition wasn't serious and that with proper treatment and care, he would recover quickly. However, she herself knew in her heart that these long-standing ailments could only be relieved of symptoms, not completely cured.
During his treatment, Xia Liang stayed by her grandfather's side almost every step of the way. She fetched water for him, got his medicine, fed him, chatted with him to keep him entertained, told him interesting stories, and cheered him up. She knew that at this time, what her grandfather needed most was the company and love of his family, and she wanted to do her best to make him feel warm and at ease.
Grandma Xia stayed by her husband's side, the two supporting and comforting each other. Watching Xia Liang's busy figure, Grandma Xia felt both moved and heartbroken. She knew that Xia Liang had worked very hard all these years, taking care of them, juggling her studies and writing, and now worrying about Grandpa's illness. She said to Xia Liang with concern, "Liangliang, you need to rest too, don't overwork yourself. Grandpa's illness is being treated by doctors, we'll get better slowly."
Xia Liang smiled and nodded, her resolve to take good care of her grandparents only strengthened. She knew she was their only support, and she couldn't afford to give up. She would face everything with strength and use her meager power to create a brighter future for her grandparents.
After a period of treatment, Grandpa Xia's condition improved, and his health gradually returned to normal. Although these chronic illnesses could not be cured, Xia Liang was content as long as the condition could be controlled and Grandpa's suffering lessened. She believed that as long as the family united and supported each other, they would surely overcome any difficulties in life and usher in a brighter tomorrow.
Xia Liang stood in the hospital corridor, her heart filled with anxiety and helplessness. She inquired everywhere, hoping to find a specialist doctor who could treat this disease. The air in the hospital reeked of disinfectant, making her feel suffocated. Her eyes revealed uncertainty about the future; her hands unconsciously clasped together, her fingers trembling slightly, as if seeking solace.
She knew that if she were to suddenly pass away, her grandparents would be left without care. This thought weighed heavily on her heart, making her feel incredibly burdened. She imagined her grandparents' lonely figures, and a wave of sorrow washed over her. She knew they were advanced in years and their health was not ideal, which made her even more worried. If she were gone, how would they cope with the hardships of life?
Xia Liang sighed softly, her gaze fixed on the sky outside the window. She so desperately wished she could be stronger, that she could get through this. If her grandparents were healthier, she could face her predicament with greater peace of mind. She imagined her grandparents living healthy lives, so she could face life's challenges with greater composure. However, reality rarely smiles, and she could only silently pray, hoping for a miracle.
She slowly walked to a bench, sat down, and buried her head deeply, hugging her knees as if trying to curl up and ward off the fear and helplessness in her heart. Tears welled in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She knew she couldn't break down at this moment; she had to be a pillar of support for her grandparents. She closed her eyes and silently prayed, hoping everything would be alright.
After seeing a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor online, Xia Liang was filled with hope. She quickly packed her bags and embarked on a journey to their destination with her grandparents. The province where the doctor lived was far away, but Xia Liang knew that for her grandparents' health, no distance was too far.
At the airport, Xia Liang held her grandparents' hands tightly, her heart filled with unease and anticipation. She knew this trip would be a huge challenge for them, but she also believed that everything would be alright as long as they could find the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Her eyes were firm and hopeful, as if telling herself and her grandparents that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she would face them bravely.
On the plane, Xia Liang kept checking on her grandparents, worried that they might be feeling unwell. She gently covered them with blankets and smiled as she reassured them, "Don't worry, we'll be there soon." Her voice was gentle yet firm, trying to dispel their anxiety with her warmth.
After a long flight, they finally arrived at their destination. Xia Liang helped her grandparents out of the airport, her heart filled with anticipation for the future and trust in the traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She knew this journey might change their lives, and she believed that with hard work, everything would get better.
