"Cough..." Old Madam suddenly coughed.
Everyone in the hospital room, including Gu Beicheng standing at the door, and Gu Feimo by his side, looked very tense.
Others may not know, but the people of the Gu Family were all too aware.
She... didn’t have many days left.
Especially after being frightened by Gu Lingqian’s incident. She couldn’t catch her breath at noon and fainted.
The doctor examined her, and she had... less than three months.
But as soon as she woke up, she insisted on visiting her grandson, and no one could persuade her otherwise. Now, she ca despite feeling unwell.
Old Master Gu gently patted Old Madam’s back, and Xia Yinian also soothed her chest.
After a long while, Gu Beicheng had already notified the doctors, asking them to stand by outside the door, ready to co in for resuscitation at any mont.
Fortunately, Old Madam finally caught her breath, and her complexion improved.
"I’m fine, you all... don’t be so tense." Seeing everyone scared, Old Madam also felt a bit uncomfortable.
She wanted to smile to reassure everyone, but smiling made her want to cough.
"Grandma, don’t force yourself. We are all fine, there’s nothing wrong."
Xia Yinian held her hand, her voice soft as the wind.
However, Old Madam looked at her, then at Gu Lingqian, and suddenly said, "Grandma’s biggest regret is that I can’t see you both have children, cough..."
"Grandma!"
"I can... can’t wait, but, Grandma still wants to see you get married, hand in hand."
Old Madam’s words made Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian’s faces change instantly.
As for the man standing at the door, Xia Yinian didn’t even dare to glance at him.
"Grandma, you’re like this now, how can we get married? It’s too strenuous."
Gu Lingqian was the first to react, quickly saying with a smile, "Wait till Grandma gets better..."
"Grandma can’t get better."
"Qi’er, don’t say such things!" Old Master Gu’s face darkened, but his heart also sank.
He had been a big shot in both black and white for half of his life, usually getting whatever he wanted, but now, he couldn’t even protect his own wife.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death, although a natural part of life, it’s his wife, how could he be reconciled?
Why, despite doing everything, is it still not working? Why can’t things start improving?
Is it really helpless?
Xia Yinian’s nose turned sour. She resented Old Master Gu for toying with her life and death, but she felt very sorry for this kindhearted Grandma Gu.
"Grandma, don’t say such things, you will get better, you definitely will."
"Of course, Grandma will get better. Grandma still wants to see you and Ling Qian get married, give Grandma a great-grandchild, even a granddaughter would be good; the girls of our Gu Family are all very beautiful."
Xia Yinian’s heart grew even sorer. Grandma’s wish was so simple, yet, she and Gu Lingqian, all of them were deceiving her.
Her and Gu Lingqian’s child, it can’t exist; their relationship is fake...
"They will get married next month, Qi’er, take good care of your health, then, you can help them arrange the wedding."
Old Master Gu’s voice was firm.
"Really?" Old Madam’s face lit up with surprise, she even forgot to cough, staring intently at Xia Yinian’s face.
"Nian Nian, is it true? Are you really willing to marry Ling Qian and join our Gu Family?"
But Xia Yinian didn’t speak, as if still hesitating.
Old Madam started to worry: "Nian Nian, do you... still have grievances against our Gu Family?"
