Ling Momo stiffly nodded her head and walked into the hospital room. The path was smooth, but for some unknown reason, her legs felt weak, and she nearly collapsed several times. She walked to her great-grandfather’s bedside, looked at him with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in a daze, and Ling Momo’s tears fell once again.
"MoMo girl... MoMo girl..." the great-grandfather’s voice was somewhat muffled and breathless, causing Ling Momo’s heart to ache. Her legs gave way, and she knelt by the bedside. She tightly grasped her great-grandfather’s rough, aged hands, feeling his warmth. Her heart finally found some comfort, but she choked up and called out, "Great-grandfather, I’m here... Great-grandfather, please don’t scare me..."
Upon hearing Ling Momo’s voice, the great-grandfather struggled to open his eyes. Slowly turning his head, he saw Ling Momo, who looked like a tearful figure, close at hand. He vaguely sensed the scenes of the past replaying in his mind. In the blink of an eye, the little girl who was once newborn had already grown into a beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, though she hadn’t yet married, he was already at the end of his life.
He had lived a lifetime and experienced everything. If there was one thing he couldn’t let go of now, it was Ling Momo.
The great-grandfather tightly held Ling Momo’s hand with a trembling voice, "MoMo girl, don’t cry... you don’t look pretty when you cry... Be good, smile for your great-grandfather. Our MoMo girl is the prettiest..."
Hearing this, Ling Momo cried even harder. She forced a smile at her great-grandfather, but in the end, she burst into sobs, "Great-grandfather, don’t leave me, don’t leave me. The doctors will save you..."
Ling Momo turned around, looking at the nearby doctor and pleaded, "Please save my great-grandfather... think of something..."
"Miss Ling, Please calm down. The patient is quite old and the success rate of the surgery is not very high, so you need to be mentally prepared. Before the surgery, the hospital hopes that you two can finish saying what needs to be said..." Fresh chapters posted on ɴovelfire.net
Hearing this, Ling Momo suddenly became agitated, "My great-grandfather will not die, he will not die..."
"MoMo girl, listen to me..." the great-grandfather said from the hospital bed, his voice hoarse. Ling Momo immediately quieted down and dutifully watched him. Then she heard her great-grandfather say, "MoMo, if I really leave, you must go on living well. I will be watching over you from heaven. Our MoMo must live a happy life... Promise your great-grandfather, you must find a man who loves you and get married. I might not see you get married, but I will be watching from heaven..."
Tears streaming down her face, Ling Momo kept nodding, unable to utter a word. After a long time, the great-grandfather finally finished speaking, showed Ling Momo a warm smile, and then said to the doctor nearby, "Go ahead with the surgery."
The doctor nodded and began to push the great-grandfather toward the operating room. Ling Momo followed the moving bed all the way, her eyes fixated on her great-grandfather.
