Initially, our plan was to go fishing on National Day,d but unexpectedly it started to rain. The rain continued to patter from dusk until the next day, giving the air an autumnal coolness.

At times like this, I love staying home with Mu Chenghe. He always works in the living room, while I go about my business without disturbing him. Sometimes I go over the questions for the graduate entrance exam; other times, I wipe the dust off the bluegrass leaves and sometimes add water to the bluegrass cup. Even though we didn't say a word, our mood was very good.

Unfortunately, a phone call broke the calm. The aunt said on the other end of the phone: "Xue Tong, come here, your grandfather ... I'm afraid it won't make it through tonight."

My face instantly blanched

Mu Chenghe asked, "What's wrong?"

He took me to the hospital. Already on the road, the rain became strong. I stared at the swaying of the windshield wiper in front of the car ... While we waited for the change in the traffic light, he on his side, stared at me in silence.

When we got to grandpa, only aunt and grandmother were sitting in front of the bed.

Grandpa was lying on the gurney, the old breathing tube has been replaced by an oxygen machine. Beside him, the assistive device continued to ring. He was covered in a quilt and his chest was drooping along with the rhythm of the compressed air from the fan.

When my aunt saw me come in, she said: "Xue Tong, you're here, your cousin and uncle have gone to talk to the doctor." After speaking, she looked at Mu Chenghe behind me with suspicious eyes.

Since I didn't say anything, Mu Chenghe only politely nodded his head.

It's not that I wants to hide him from her, it's just that I'm not in the mood for introductions right now.

The aunt said: "As you may have noticed, the last time you came to see him, he was not very stable to say. The doctor said that several of his organs are beginning to fail. In the morning, his blood pressure suddenly rose and he suffered a second cerebral hemorrhage ... ". At that moment, my aunt couldn't take it anymore and she started to wipe away her tears.

My grandmother on the other hand seemed very calm, she had reached out her hand to straighten grandfather's hair.

At that moment, my uncle and several cousins ​​appeared behind the door, followed by the doctor and a male nurse.

The doctor came in and walked over to the bed, took a small flashlight from his pocket, opened Grandpa's eyelids and took a look, asked the nurse next to him to record various data and then left .

The uncle stopped the inmate and asked, "Is there really no hope?"

The inmate replied: "That is difficult to predict, it cannot be guaranteed that a miracle cannot occur."
