Mu Chengxi gently patted Wen Xin’s shoulder, then went to get his phone to arrange the trip to Luocheng. He told Mu Dong to arrange a private jet to Luocheng, plus a helicopter from the airport to the sanatorium.
Half an hour later, Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin were in Mu Bei’s car. Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin, saying nothing and not comforting her. He knew that at this moment, whatever he said, Wen Xin wouldn’t listen.
At the airport, arrangements were made for them to board the plane immediately. When Wen Xin boarded, Tan Xingyue was already onboard, crying almost to the point of fainting.
Hearing Tan Xingyue’s crying, Wen Xin instantly regained her composure. She let go of Mu Chengxi’s hand, walked to Tan Xingyue, and squatted down.
“Grandma might really not make it, but it’s okay. Your body has recovered, and Grandma can leave peacefully!”
Hearing Wen Xin’s comforting words, Tan Xingyue stopped sobbing. She hugged Wen Xin tightly, “Grandma told me last night… she… she might not make it, but she didn’t want me to tell you. She… she said yesterday was your birthday, and she hoped you would be happy!”
“Wen Xin, I don’t want Grandma to leave… but Grandma said Grandpa came to take her, and she wants to go enjoy herself…”
Tan Xingyue broke down at the end of her sentence. She also knew that her grandmother had been holding on solely by sheer willpower, but she didn’t want to be without her grandmother.
Wen Xin gently patted Tan Xingyue’s back to comfort her. She had always regarded Tan Xingyue’s grandmother as her own grandmother, so she understood Tan Xingyue’s feelings.
Mu Chengxi walked to Wen Xin’s side, stood beside her, and reminded her, “The plane is about to take off. Let’s go to our seats!”
Liang Luoyu sat down beside Tan Xingyue, softly comforting her. Wen Xin gently pulled Tan Xingyue’s arm, took out a silver needle from her pocket, and inserted it into Tan Xingyue’s body to let her rest for a while.
When the plane was about to take off, Chu Yunxuan hurriedly ran up. She received Wen Xin’s call and rushed to the airport, arriving just in time.
Wen Xin glanced at the people on the plane and nodded to Mu Chengxi. They sat down in their seats together, waiting for the plane to take off.
When the plane was flying steadily, Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin hesitantly for a long time before she finally spoke slowly, “Why did Grandma suddenly become unwell?”
“It’s not exactly sudden. The information Chen Yian sent last time indicated that Grandma’s condition was already not good. This time, she’s probably completely unable to hold on anymore. I thought my new medicine could save her and give her some more time.”
Wen Xin leaned against Mu Chengxi, feeling sore all over her body.
Mu Chengxi felt Wen Xin’s discomfort and hugged her from behind, gently massaging her waist, hoping she would feel better.
“I’ll take care of Grandma’s funeral arrangements. Shouldn’t we handle her affairs outside the sanatorium? Should we bring Grandma back to Ancient Market Town?”
Chu Yunxuan thought for a moment. She was thinking that grandmother’s wish might be to return home. She probably wanted to take her last breath in her hometown, right?
“It’s probably not possible to make it back to Ancient Market Town. You know, it takes too long to get there, even with our helicopter. Grandma wouldn’t make it to Ancient Market Town. Just now, Chen Yian has instructed the people there to use all available medication. If Grandma can hold on until we arrive, it would be considered quite a medical miracle.”
Wen Xin didn’t want to torment her grandmother anymore. Letting her grandmother leave like this was actually a good outcome.
“For the funeral, just let Chen Yian arrange it at a nearby funeral parlor. I’ve already notified my uncle and aunt, but they won’t make it back in time. Let’s leave it to fate.’
If Wen Xin gives up on a patient, that patient is probably not going to make it.
Chu Yunxuan gently patted Wen Xin’s hand on the armrest and softly said, “My condolences.”
“I will fulfill Grandma’s wishes and take care of Tan Xingyue.”
Wen Xin closed her eyes, her eyes slightly reddened. Her emotions were complex. She had worked hard to develop a new drug, but in the end, she could not keep her grandmother alive.
Mu Chengxi hugged Wen Xin from behind, resting his head on her neck, and gently comforted her, “You’ve done your best!”
Mu Chengxi had witnessed Wen Xin adjusting the prescription repeatedly late at night and the pain she endured trying to deliver it to Yang Jingyan, even resorting to studying Western medicine.
However, as people got older, decline and aging became inevitable.
“Get some rest! I’ll wake you up when the plane lands.” Mu Chengxi felt sorry for Wen Xin’s hardships. He knew how exhausted she must be. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have been too excessive yesterday.
Wen Xin faintly replied, leaning against Mu Chengxi’s chest. Mu Chengxi got a blanket from the flight attendant to cover Wen Xin and hugged her, allowing her to sleep as comfortably as possible.
Sitting beside them, Chu Yunxuan watched their interaction. Whether it was her illusion or not, she felt that Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi seemed even closer.
Seeing Chu Yunxuan staring at Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, Gu Yanzhe raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder. “Miss Chu, do you know who Wen Xin’s relatives are? How about after we get off the plane, you and I go to Ancient Town Square together to inform her relatives?”
“Wen Xin doesn’t have many relatives. The Su family doesn’t have many relatives to begin with. Uncle Tan is an orphan without parents. Grandma has a son and a daughter. Wen Xin has already called them. As for the others, it doesn’t seem necessary to inform them.”
Chu Yunxuan had heard Wen Xin talk about the Su family’s situation. The Su family didn’t have many relatives, and later, Old Master. Su left their original place of residence to take care of Tan Xingyue and Wen Xin.
Now, there were hardly any relatives in Ancient Town Square. They were just close neighbors.
After the plane landed, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand as they disembarked. Chu Yunxuan held Tan Xingyue’s hand, comforting her as they walked, telling her not to be too sad.
Perhaps after sleeping for a while and accepting the fact that Grandmother couldn’t hold on anymore, Tan Xingyue stopped crying and fussing, but her spirits weren’t very good.
As the group disembarked from the plane, they boarded the helicopter that Mu Chengxi had arranged for earlier. On the helicopter, Wen Xin gently pinched
Mu Chengxi’s finger and said, “Thank you.”
Mu Chengxi looked tenderly at Wen Xin, hugged her hand a little tighter, and didn’t say anything. They just held each other quietly.
When Wen Xin and her group appeared in the sanatorium ward, Yang Jingyan was still very clear-headed. Seeing Wen Xin and Tan Xingyue, she smiled kindly, lifted her hand laboriously, and waved to them.
“Xinxin, Xingyue, come over here….”
