Capítulo 1601: Chapter 1601: Life, Aging, Sickness, and Death 2
The two have walked through most of their lives together.
Old Madam Fang’s health had always been good, but suddenly, she fell seriously ill half a year ago.
She fell.
When illness cos, it strikes like a mountain collapsing. The seventy-sothing elder beca bedridden.
She was seen at every hospital across Huaxia, but none could diagnose the ailnt.
Finally, she was sent to the military hospital, where the director, He Zhixin, personally took charge of her condition.
Fortunately, He Zhixin’s dical skills are remarkable. Although the specific cause was unclear, he managed to control her condition well.
The illness was initially under control, but three months ago, for unknown reasons, it worsened again.
Extrely dangerous.
The critical condition notifications were issued several tis, but thankfully, she was ultimately saved with no danger.
However, her health continued to deteriorate, with severe issues in hearing and sight, and her vital signs were quickly fading.
The old lady is also a soldier, has a good constitution, and stubbornly hangs on.
She is fond of the Nine Heavens Legacy Zither, and her greatest wish is to hear the “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix” played on the Nine Heavens Legacy Zither.
To fulfill her last wish, the Fang Family spared no expense in manpower and resources and found the Nine Heavens Legacy Zither at all costs.
Old Chief Fang wanted the best for Old Madam Fang. Knowing Xia Weibao could perform the Fuxi Finger Technique, he hoped to invite her to play “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.”
This made the old lady exceedingly happy when told of it.
The Fuxi Finger Technique is the pursuit of every guqin enthusiast.
At Old Chief Fang’s banquet, he intended to invite Xia Weibao to play “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.”
However, Xia Weibao didn’t show up that ti; she was busy, and Old Chief Fang dared not disturb her.
Moreover, the doctors said that Old Madam Fang was nearing the end, but she held on, hoping to hear the Fuxi Finger Technique play “Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.”
He was advised to play slowly for her, so she could have a desire to cling to.
So, it was delayed ti and again.
Unexpectedly, this morning, Old Madam Fang’s condition suddenly worsened. Old Chief Fang rushed to the military hospital.
Leaving Fang Lilin waiting at the Fang Family’s residence.
“Today might be Grandma’s… last chance,”
Fang Lilin finished speaking and fell silent.
His hands on the steering wheel were trembling.
It is evident that he has a deep bond with Old Madam Fang.
A person usually so composed and calm lost all composure upon hearing the grim news about Old Madam Fang.
Xia Weibao remained speechless, turned to look at Lu Hualiang.
She tightly gripped his hand.
Lu Hualiang returned the grip.
With his other hand, he gently patted her head.
Xia Weibao withdrew her gaze, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted. Though she had only t Old Chief Fang a few tis, she very much liked this kind-hearted elder.
The group arrived at the military hospital, where multiple identity checks were required to enter.
In front of the ward, they saw the septuagenarian Old Chief Fang standing at the door.
This iron-willed soldier, who had achieved countless military rits, once fought in battles with fierceness.
Filled with an iron will and a patriotic heart.
But now, he was old.
Standing curled in front of the ward door, he resembled an elderly person in the twilight of his life.
He stood in the empty corridor, waiting for his beloved, lonely and helpless, fearing the next mont might bring bad news.
Seeing Old Chief Fang like this, Xia Weibao felt a sting in her nose, and her eyes suddenly pained.
A streak of lancholy welled up in her heart.
This elder who had spanned half a lifeti could now only be like ordinary old people, accompanying a wife laying on the sickbed battling illness.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural cycles.
If it were just illness, she could help treat it.
But if it’s natural death by aging, she is powerless.
