When Lin's father got up, Tang Biqin was still asleep.

Thinking about her previous insomnia, she finally got a good night's sleep today, so she didn't call her when Lin's father woke up.

After washing up, Father Lin went to wake up the two children who were going to school. "Grandma is still sleeping. Let's be quiet so as not to disturb her."

Ji Tingyang: "Okay."

Ji Zeqiu didn't want to get up. Just as he was about to burst into tears, he heard his grandfather's words and immediately closed his mouth.

He whispered in his ear: "Grandpa, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep..."

"Go wash your face and you won't feel sleepy anymore." Father Lin picked him up, took him to the small stool in the bathroom, and helped him wash his face.

When he helped Ji Zeqiu finish washing up, Ji Tingyang had already finished washing up and was sitting in a chair eating breakfast.

Looking at Ji Tingyang who was so well-behaved and sensible, Father Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Ze Qiu, next time you have to wash your face and brush your teeth like your brother, got it?"

Ji Zeqiu hugged his neck and pouted, "No, I want grandpa to help me wash."

Father Lin smiled helplessly.

After he sent the two children to school, he picked up Ji Lanyue, fed her milk powder, and played games with her for a while.

It was almost noon, but Tang Biqin hadn't woken up yet.

Father Lin carried Ji Lanyue into the bedroom and scratched her little face with his fingers. "Lanyue, let's go in together and wake up grandma, okay?"

Who would have thought that after being teased like this, Ji Lanyue actually burst into tears.

The shrill cries were deafening.

No matter how Lin's father tried to coax her, it was useless. He suddenly felt overwhelmed and pushed Tang Biqin's shoulder. "Biqin, my granddaughter is crying again. What should I do? Should I feed her milk powder?"

"Biqin?"

"It's almost noon, let's not sleep any more."

"Biqin, wake up."

However, no matter how he called, Tang Biqin did not respond at all and just lay quietly on the bed.

Father Lin's heart suddenly tightened, and a feeling of uneasiness arose. He stretched out his finger tremblingly and touched her nose.

The next moment, the blood color on his face suddenly disappeared, and his face turned pale.

When the ambulance arrived, Lin's father was holding Ji Lanyue, sitting on the sofa with lifeless eyes.

The moment he saw the doctor, he seemed to have found his backbone. He stood up suddenly and grabbed the doctor's arm, "Doctor, please save her, please..."

"Don't worry, we will do our best." The doctor comforted him and then lifted Tang Biqin into the ambulance for emergency treatment.

Father Lin left Ji Lanyue in the care of the servants and took the ambulance to the hospital together.

He sat dejectedly outside the emergency room, grasping his hair weakly with his hands, his eyes red.

Only now did he understand what Tang Biqin meant by suddenly becoming so energetic yesterday.

Back to light.

He lowered his head and covered his eyes, but he couldn't hold back his tears, which slipped through his fingers and fell to the ground.

If only he had noticed her abnormality earlier...

If he had noticed her condition last night while he was sleeping...

If he had woken her up this morning like he always did...

Will all this not happen?

Father Lin's chest was filled with endless regret and self-blame, and his shoulders were shaking with sobs.

I don’t know how much time passed before the lights in the emergency room went out.

The doctor came out and met Lin's father's pleading eyes. After a moment of silence, he shook his head reluctantly, "I'm sorry, we have tried our best..."

There was a loud bang in Father Lin's head, and it went blank in an instant.

He stared at the doctor blankly, opened his pale lips, wanting to say something, but no sound came out, and tears had already wet his cheeks without him noticing.

After a while, several nurses pushed Tang Biqin out of the emergency room.

The white quilt on her body was pulled up to cover her head.

Father Lin's fingertips trembled slightly. He tried hard to suppress his breathing and reached out to lift the white cloth.

Tang Biqin's face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were closed, and she lay quietly on the bed.

Father Lin looked at the face of his beloved who had gone through hardships with him, which was now cold and silent. He felt as if a sharp knife was stabbed into his chest and it was in great pain.

He grabbed her cold hand, put her hand against his head, and cried softly, "Biqin, wake up... don't go..."

But no matter how he yelled, she would not wake up and blame him for being too loud, would not go with him to pick up her grandson from school, would not despise him for being so clumsy even when changing her granddaughter's diaper...

"Sir, please accept my condolences." The nurse said reluctantly.

……

When Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu returned home, Lin's father was hiding in the dim bedroom alone, with his head in his hands, not saying a word.

"Grandpa, why don't you turn on the light?" Ji Tingyang turned on the light in the bedroom, revealing Lin's father's haggard and dark face.

Ji Zeqiu didn't notice that something was wrong with him, so he ran over and said angrily, "Grandpa, didn't you say you would pick me and my brother up from school this afternoon?"

Father Lin's eyes moved, as if he also remembered this matter, "Grandpa forgot, how did you come back?"

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

Ji Zeqiu: "It was the driver who came to pick us up."

Father Lin's eyes flashed with regret, "I'm sorry, Grandpa won't forget it next time."

Ji Zeqiu was very generous, "It's okay, I forgive Grandpa."

Father Lin chuckled and rubbed his head, "What do you want for dinner? I'll ask the servants to make it."

Ji Tingyang spoke up at this time, "Didn't Grandpa say this morning that we would have steamed fish tonight?"

"Oh, yes, steamed fish." Father Lin suddenly realized.

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips and noticed his strangeness, "Grandpa, are you feeling unwell?"

"Grandpa is fine. Okay, let's go out for dinner." Father Lin's smile was a little forced, then he stood up and left the bedroom with the two children.

There were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table. Ji Tingyang just took a bite and seemed to remember something. "Why don't we wait for grandma to come back and eat together?"

Father Lin's hands suddenly froze, "She...she...your grandmother went to play at a friend's house and will be back in a few days."

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu nodded, quickly believed what he said, and started to eat dinner obediently.

"Brother, you have to eat more vegetables to grow taller." Ji Tingyang picked up a vegetable and put it into Ji Zeqiu's bowl.

"I don't want it. I don't want to eat it." Ji Zeqiu picked the vegetables back into Ji Tingyang's bowl.

Father Lin raised his lip slightly, but he felt powerless in his heart.

First their parents died, and then their grandmother died. He hadn't figured out how to tell them about this yet...

However, the truth will eventually come to light.
