Chapter 527 Bursting into Tears
The scene was one of icy coldness.
Wenren Chen stood beside Zhou Yi. He didn't open the door and go in; he stayed by her side.
At that moment, the person inside the door came into view, and their eyes met.
In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere became chilling.
Qin Shi looked at Wenren Chen, his eyes flashing coldly: "Yiyi, come in."
Zhou Yi was so focused on her grandmother that she had completely forgotten about Qin Shi, so she was clearly stunned when she suddenly saw him.
When Qin Shi spoke, she snapped out of her reverie and nodded, "Okay."
The sound was very soft; they went in quietly.
Qin Shi slightly stepped aside to let Zhou Yi in, and Wenren Chen followed.
However, as soon as Zhou Yi entered, Qin Shi blocked Wenren Chen's way.
Wenren Chen stopped in his tracks, looking at the person whose body was covered in ice.
Qin Shi said, "At this time, it would be best if President Chen didn't go in."
Wenren Chen stood at the door, watching the person who clearly sensed something. His eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on the person who went inside.
Upon seeing the person lying in the bed, she lost all other emotions; her heart and eyes were filled with only this one and only relative.
Nothing else.
Looking at the slender, frail body that approached the bedside with utmost care and whisper, and sat down cautiously, Wenren Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Qin Shi.
A few breaths later, he stepped back and retreated to the outside of the ward.
Qin Shi looked at Wenren Chen and closed the door.
In an instant, everything in the ward was shut down.
There was complete silence all around.
The two bodyguards standing quietly outside the door trembled.
Wenren Chen stood outside the door, staring at the tightly closed door for a long time before turning and heading to the doctor's office.
The ward was quiet. To avoid disturbing Xu Fengzhen, the curtains and windows were closed, preventing the bright sunlight from shining in and isolating her from the hustle and bustle of the city.
It's very quiet and peaceful here.
Zhou Yi sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at Xu Fengzhen.
This face, weathered by time, became thin, haggard, and pale because of this serious illness, but as long as Grandma is alive...
As long as Grandma has a breath left, she's not afraid of anything.
"Grandma is asleep, she'll probably wake up this afternoon."
Qin Shi sat down beside her and took her hand, which was tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.
Hearing his words, Zhou Yi instantly suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and looked at the person beside her: "Brother, when did Grandma wake up?"
His eyes were brimming with moisture, glistening with tears, but within those tears lay only hope.
Qin Shi looked at her and said, "Four in the morning."
"Four o'clock..."
Zhou Yi was stunned when she heard this.
"Brother, didn't you go home last night?"
Her eyes were full of heartache, self-blame, and apology. Qin Shi held her small hand tightly and said, "No, something came up at the hospital this morning, so I came early."
Zhou Yi remained silent.
Sometimes my brother comes early because of hospital matters, sometimes even at one or two in the morning.
But not today.
My brother's problem wasn't with the hospital; it's just that he didn't go home last night. He stayed at the hospital with Grandma.
Zhou Yi's lips moved as he looked at that handsome face. He had gone from being a dashing young man when they first met to being mature and steady now. He was no longer the teenager he once was; he was a mature man in his twenties.
She said softly, "Brother, you should rest. I'll stay with Grandma."
Qin Shi looked into the countless emotions that had accumulated in her eyes over the years, emotions that no one could replace.
He held her little hand tightly in his palm: "It's okay, we'll stay with Grandma and wait for her to wake up."
Wenren Chen went to the doctor's office, and after coming out, he took out his phone to make a call.
After finishing the call, he went outside the ward.
The door remained closed, and no one inside ever came out.
He turned around, sat down on a nearby bench, leaned back, and closed his eyes to rest.
Time ticked by...
Around noon, almost twelve o'clock, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor.
Wenren Chen was on his phone a short distance outside the ward when he heard the voice. He looked over and said, "Send it to me via email."
After saying that, he ended the call and strode over.
The doctor and nurses hurried over from the front, and upon seeing Wenren Chen, they respectfully greeted him, "President Chen."
Wenren Chen asked, "What happened?"
The doctor said, "Grandma Xu is awake. I'll go in and take a look now."
Wenren Chen looked at the tightly closed ward door and said, "Go in."
"Ok."
The doctor opened the door and went in, and Wenren Chen followed him in.
The curtains in the ward were drawn back, and the windows were open, letting in the bright sunlight that warmed everything in the room.
Especially the person by the bedside.
At this moment, Zhou Yi bent down and stood in front of the bed, holding Xu Fengzhen's hands tightly. Looking at Xu Fengzhen who had opened her eyes on the bed, she said carefully and nervously, trying her best to control her emotions, "Grandma, it's me, Yi Yi."
Xu Fengzhen opened her eyes. Looking into those eyes, moist but desperately trying to control their emotions, she moved her fingers and opened her mouth: "Yi...Yi..."
"Bah!"
Tears welled up in Zhou Yi's eyes and rolled down onto the back of his aged hand.
She gripped his hand, which was as hard as old tree bark, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's me, it's Yiyi, it's Yiyi..."
Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads, but she managed a smile through her tears.
"Grandma, it's Yiyi. Yiyi is by your side, always by your side."
Seeing her cry, her tears falling like beads from a broken string, Xu Fengzhen's fingers twitched, wanting to wipe away her tears.
But she had just woken up and was too weak to do anything but watch, her eyes filled with heartache, her old eyes wet with tears.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Yi panicked and quickly wiped away her tears, shaking her head repeatedly: "Grandma, Yi Yi is fine, Yi Yi is really fine, Yi Yi is just happy, don't worry."
She quickly wiped away her tears, her eyes were red, and a smile even appeared on her face, as if nothing was wrong.
Xu Fengzhen looked at her face, which was almost broken, and tears slid down her cheeks.
Seeing her tears, Zhou Yi tried to hold back, but couldn't. Her lips tightened, and tears streamed down her face like a flood.
He bent down, hugged Xu Fengzhen, and burst into tears: "Grandma..."
The frail body lay on top of her, and Xu Fengzhen held her in her arms, stroking her back weakly. Tears welled up in her old eyes, sliding down the wrinkles of her face and wetting the pillow.
Wenren Chen stood behind Zhou Yi, looking at the person who was crying her eyes out, and his fingers twitched as he closed them.
Zhou Yi cried very sadly; she hadn't cried like that in a long time.
She cried out all the worries, fears, and anxieties she had felt over the past few months at this moment.
She finally stopped suppressing her emotions and released them all.
Xu Fengzhen said nothing. She simply held the frail yet strong girl in her arms, gently stroking her back to comfort her silently.
Qin Shi stood to the side, watching the heartbroken girl cry, listening to her fragile sobs, his hands clenched, suppressing the urge to hold her.
In the ward, doctors and nurses stood by the bed, watching this scene, their eyes reddening with emotion.
Family ties are the most inseparable bond in this world.
