Jennie woke up and it was already evening.
She turned her head and saw Lisa sleeping on a chair beside her and his head was on the bed.
She could not help but raise her hand and stroke his hair.
Lisa stirred and woke up.
"You're awake?"
Lisa wanted to stand up and go outside to call the doctor but Jennie pulled his hand, stopping him.
She shook her head and smiled.
"I'm fine. No need to call the doctor."
Jennie moved to the side and pat the bed. She wanted Lisa to sleep beside her.
"Come here."
Lisa removed his shoes and lied down beside her. He pulled Jennie in his embrace and kissed her forehead.
"H-how is he?"
Jennie tried to control her tears.
Lisa raised her head and stared at her.
"He's okay for now... but... the next heart attack will be fatal."
Jennie's eyes shook. She took a deep breath and nodded.
"Where is he?"
"The room next door."
Lisa brushed the hair from her face. He smiled while touching her cheeks.
"It's okay. Yeye is a strong man."
Jennie tried to smile but she couldn't. She could only bury her head in his chest and nod.
Seeing her like this, Lisa could not help but be worried.
But what can he do?
The woman he loved was in pain but the only thing he could do was to be with her.
If only he had a way to lessen her pain.
Lisa tightened his embrace.
Few minutes later, Jennie raised her head and looked at him.
"I want to see him."
Lisa nodded. He carried her out of the bed and placed her on a wheelchair.
Jennie's body was weak. She couldn't find the strength to walk. Lisa wanted to carry her but she refused. She knew he was also tired but for her sake, he was neglecting his health.
The moment she saw her grandfather, Jennie couldn't help but shed tears.
She immediately wiped all of it, afraid that her grandfather would see it.
She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. Lisa touched her shoulder, she looked at him and smiled as she hold his hand that was on her shoulder.
Lisa gave her strength.
Strength to face the truth.
When Jennie reached the bed, she tried her best not to show any weakness in front of him.
"Yeye..."
The old man turned his head and opened his eyes.
"Child.. you.. *cough* *cough* are.. here?"
Jennie managed to smile and nodded. She hold his hand and asked,
"How are you, Yeye?"
XuanTian chuckled. He raised his other hand to touch her face but he could only raise it halfway.
Jennie immediately held it and placed it on her cheek.
"Why are you moving ahh? Just lay down obediently."
