Grandma Gu nodded sadly. Even the strongest person is powerless to cope with these things.
Gu Ming'en stepped forward and said softly, "Mom, please take care of yourself. Qihang will only leave us when our fate with us is over. In the next life, our family will be together again."
These words brought tears to the old lady's eyes. Overwhelmed with grief, she was unable to speak, as if something was stuck in her throat. She could only respond by nodding.
"Mom, you still have us. You have to be strong," the second son of the Gu family comforted her.
Looking into everyone's earnest eyes, the old lady closed her eyes and mentally calculated, trying to calm herself down.
"Grandma, I'll go get you some water."
Jiang Yilai thoughtfully poured water, while Gu Yuyang carefully helped the elderly woman up. They now needed to take even better care of her so that she could recover from her grief.
After the old lady went to sleep in the middle of the night, it was decided that Jiang Yilai and Gu Yuyang would guard her that night.
The old lady's favorite person right now is Jiang Yilai, so she definitely has to stay at the hospital. Gu Yuyang rarely goes home, so this is a good time to spend more time with the old lady.
Jiang Yilai escorted Fu Nanxiao to the hospital entrance, and he still held her hand tightly, not wanting to leave her unattended.
"Or I can stay too."
Jiang Yilai shook her head, "Don't worry about me. Yu Yang is here too, and there's a nanny with her. We're staying because we're afraid Grandma will be upset when she wakes up. We can talk to her."
Fu Nanxiao gently hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be too sad, don't stay up too late, and get some rest too."
“I know. You stay home with the children. When things are better at Grandma’s place tomorrow after school, bring them over.”
"Okay, I'll arrange that."
Jiang Yilai watched him leave, still feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Perhaps they had just witnessed the pain of separation and death, and didn't want to be separated from their loved ones.
But at times like these, she needs to take care of the elderly.
When Jiang Yilai returned to the ward, she saw Gu Yuyang staring blankly at the old lady on the hospital bed, his eyes full of sorrow.
She handed him a glass of water and said softly, "Brother, have some water."
"Thank you. I haven't looked at Grandma closely in a long time. I didn't realize her hair had turned so white and she had so many wrinkles."
“You’re rarely home and always busy, so you haven’t noticed these details.”
"You know the nature of my job; holidays are the busiest time. I really owe her so much."
"Grandma understands your work and has never blamed you. When you have free time, just go home and spend more time with her."
Gu Yuyang looked at her and smiled wryly, "Lai Lai, it's so good that you're back home. Since you came back, the whole house feels more vibrant. It's just a pity..."
“Brother, all of this will pass. From now on, we will stay with Grandma through this period and help her get out of the shadows.”
That's all Jiang Yilai can do.
Gu Yuyang nodded: "I will try my best to adjust my work schedule and try to come back more often in the future."
This experience made him realize the importance of family. He didn't want to regret not being able to care for his parents in their old age, and he wanted to spend more time with them in the future.
"It's good that you have this idea. Work is important, but you can't abandon your family."
Jiang Yilai has been quite busy at her law firm lately, but she can't let herself leave with regrets; spending time with her family is the most important thing.
Gu Yuyang then brought up a different topic: "Lai Lai, I hope you won't blame me for what happened with Jiang Lezhen."
"I'm the one who should apologize, please don't blame yourself."
