The servant was already squatting on the ground and crying. Ning Xiaofei glanced at her and knew that she didn't feel much comfort in her heart.
At this time, the doctor had already removed other injections and medicines from Mr. Ji's body, leaving only the heart monitor, which showed the old man's weak heartbeat, and the declining numbers showed that he was heading toward the end of his life.
Lying on the hospital bed, her originally tall body suddenly seemed so small. Ning Xiaofei's tears that had stopped flowing suddenly started to flow again.
She took two quick steps, held the old man's already cold palm, and called out with choked sobs.
"Grandpa!"
Mr. Ji's originally closed eyes slowly trembled, and he weakly pulled away. It took a while before they came together on Ning Xiaofei's face.
"Grandpa, I'm Xiaofei!" Ning Xiaofei held his palm and bent down to approach him, "I'm Xiaofei, I'm here to see you!"
"Xiao Fei?!" The old man struggled to squeeze out her name from his throat, and the corners of his lips seemed to be raised slightly, "Xiao Fei, thank you... thank you for coming to see... to see me..."
"Don't say this, this is what I should do." Ning Xiaofei clasped his dry palms with both hands, "Not only me, but also Tianye, he also came to see you."
Mr. Ji glanced sideways in the direction of Mu Tianye, and then landed on Ning Xiaofei's face again.
"Grandpa...Grandpa is sorry to...you, it's all me...no...ok..."
"Stop talking!" Ning Xiaofei cried and shook her head, "I know that you actually love me. In the past, it was because I was too young and ignorant, so I always went against you and deliberately made you angry. I don't blame you, I don’t blame you at all!”
Mr. Ji tightened his fingers with difficulty, and his voice became weaker than before. Ning Xiaofei had to press close to his face to hear what he was saying clearly.
"You and your mother... are both good... good children! Back then, it was all... my... fault..."
If he hadn't scolded his favorite daughter away, maybe she wouldn't have been so seriously ill, and he wouldn't have sent the black-haired person to the white-haired person. Later, he was angry with Ning Xiaofei for not taking good care of the child. , which caused her to suffer a lot of grievances...
It's a pity that he understood this too late and had no chance to make amends.
The old man's lips were trembling and he could no longer say a word.
Ning Xiaofei's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't speak at all.
The old man suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Ning Xiaofei with a strange light in his eyes. He didn't know where he got the strength to hold Ning Xiaofei's hand tightly.
"Zi Lin... Zi Lin... Dad... Dad... is here..."
After saying these words, the light in the old man's eyes disappeared, his head tilted to one side weakly, and the fingers holding Ning Xiaofei lost their sharpness and relaxed little by little.
"Grandpa!" Ning Xiaofei held his hand tightly, "Don't leave, Grandpa..."
Mu Tianye stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders and let her cry for a while. He stepped forward and held her arm, lifted her up from the old man's body, held her in his arms, comforted her for a moment in a soft voice, and then She was led out of the ward.
When the maid saw the two people coming out, she realized something, took her up from the ground and rushed in crying. When she saw the deceased Ji Lao on the hospital bed, her legs went weak and she knelt beside the old man's bed.
"Mr. Mu, you... why did you just leave like this? I... how can I feel at ease..."
