Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (64)
Chapter 64 Death
In the early morning of the next day, while Xia Liang was still sleeping, she was woken up by a phone ringing. He answered the call in a daze, and after a few seconds, he suddenly woke up.
Zhou Shuo on the side lifted off Xia Xia’s legs that had been pressing on his chest for some time. He turned around and saw Xia Liang sitting blankly on the edge of the bed with her cell phone in her hand and making no sound, so she half-raised her body and asked, “Brother Liang, what are you doing?” What’s wrong?”
”Xiao Lin called and said that grandma is seriously ill…” Xia Liang’s voice sounded a little hollow, but he still remained calm. He turned back to Zhou Shuo and said, “I have to rush back to City B as soon as possible.”
Zhou Shuo immediately got out of bed: “I’ll go with you.” After saying that, he lowered his head and called Xia Xia.
Xia Liang originally wanted him to stay with Xia Xia, but then he thought about it. Listening to Xia Lin’s anxious tone, grandma probably didn’t have much time left. Xia Xia… had to be taken back to her grandma to see her.
After all, Xia Xia was still a child. She had only slept for a few hours and couldn’t be woken up at all. So Zhou Shuo directly carried Xia Xia on his back and carried them out of the door together with their few luggage.
The three of them drove onto the highway leading to City B. At this time, Xia Liang discovered that the highway before dawn was quiet and deserted, but there was a car always behind them, maintaining a distance of more than ten meters.
Zhou Shuo noticed Xia Liang’s frequent glances at the rearview mirror, put a hand on the back of his hand, and patted him gently: “Don’t worry, that’s my person.” Xia Liang was startled at first, and then quickly understood. Come here, these are probably the “uncles under daddy” that Xia Xia calls.
He had been a little surprised before. Even if Zhou Shuo joined the ABO clan, and even if Zhou Shuo took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of supervising Xia Xia, with the style of the Neville family, how could he really trust the father and daughter to come back to visit relatives alone.
Although the people in the car behind were Zhou Shuo’s subordinates, they probably also had the responsibility of supervising the father and daughter. When we arrived at City B, it was already dark.
Zhou Shuo discovered that after Xia Liang got off the highway, he did not go in the direction of the Xia family’s old house, but went directly in the direction of Song Yan’s villa. “Why, the old lady doesn’t live in the old house now?” Zhou Shuo asked.
Xia Liang nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said: “My dad…suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage two years ago and left in a hurry.” He paused, “Grandma couldn’t bear the blow for a while, she was depressed, and her body bones were gradually not as big as before. Xia Lin took her to live with them so that she could be taken care of.”
Zhou Shuo was shocked. He didn’t expect that Xia’s father had passed away after four years of separation. Now if Mrs. Xia also dies, the Xia family will only have two brothers, Xia Liang and Xia Lin.
Just listen to Xia Liang continue: “Last month, grandma accidentally fell when she was going down the stairs-old people are most afraid of bumps and bumps. At that time, the doctor diagnosed that her cerebral blood vessels were not healed. I was afraid that my father would It’s the same problem. After I learned the news, I rushed to the hospital and Xiaolin took turns taking care of her, but she was clamoring to be discharged. I thought her problem was discovered early, and if she took good care of her, it could at least be delayed for another day. It’s been a while, I didn’t expect it was only a month…”
Zhou Shuo knew that any persuasion at this time was in vain, so he just held one of his hands tightly and said no more. When the car drove into the villa area, Xia Lin and Song Yan were already waiting for them at the door.
Seeing two people getting out of a car at the same time, Xia Lin was stunned for a moment. When he saw Zhou Shuo’s face clearly, he was speechless with excitement. However, Song Yan reacted quickly. He took two steps forward, looked Zhou Shuo over, and asked, “When did you come back?”
”Last night.” Zhou Shuo said, taking Xia Xia out of the car and asking her to greet everyone. Xia Xia just woke up, rubbed her eyes and said in confusion, “Uncle, uncle, hello.”
”… Xia Lin, who suddenly became an uncle, didn’t react for a moment.
Zhou Shuo patted Xia Xia’s head gently and reminded: “Did you forget again? You should call me uncle, uncle.”
”Oh, uncle, uncle.” Xia Xia changed her words very obediently.
”It turns out to be Xia Xia!” Xia Lin finally realized the origin of this little girl, and didn’t care whether he was “uncle” or “uncle”, so he reached out and hugged Xia Xia.
He and Song Yan have been married for many years and have no plans to adopt a child. There are no toys or snacks for children at home. Song Yan rummaged through the boxes for a long time before taking out a few candies and giving them to Xia Xia.
Xia Xia felt good about it. Although she felt that a few candies were not uncommon, she still took them honestly and said thank you. After the four of them exchanged brief greetings, Xia Lin took them to the old lady’s bedroom on the second floor. At this time, Mrs. Xia was already lying on the bed, as angry as a thread.
Xia Lin leaned close to Mrs. Xia’s ear and whispered: “Grandma, I’m here to see you.” Mrs. Xia’s eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
Xia Liang sat down beside her bed and gently held her slightly raised hand.
”…Ah,” Mrs. Xia said with difficulty, “Grandma… the one you are most worried about now… is you.”
Xia Liang’s eyes were hot and he was about to shed tears. He closed his eyes, forced back his tears, and said with a smile: “Grandma, look, I brought your great-granddaughter.”
He said, holding Xia Xia’s hand and leading her to the bed.
Xia Xia is also a clever child. When she met Mrs. Xia, she said abruptly: “Hello, grandma, I am Xia Xia.”
”Huh?” Mrs. Xia was startled. She looked Xia Xia up and down for a long time, and her eyes clearly glowed with a strange light. “Is this…is this Xiaoliang’s child?”
”Yes, grandma.” Xia Liang said, “The child was wandering outside before, and Zhou Shuo found him recently. I never told you before, I’m sorry.” Old Mrs. Xia asked again: “Who is the mother of this child… ”
Before Xia Liang could speak, she heard Xia Xia say: “Grandma, I don’t have a mother, only a father… and uncle – she didn’t dare to say the second part of the sentence.
However, Mrs. Xia understood that the child’s mother had passed away for some reason. She immediately held Xia Xia’s hand with sympathy and murmured with tears in her eyes: “Okay, it’ll be nice to find her back… This look is similar to Xiao Liang is really a little… and it is really difficult for the child to suffer so much outside… Grandma wants to spend more time with Xia Xia, but it is a pity that grandma does not have much time…”
These words touched Xia Xia in some way, and she fell on the bed and burst into tears.
Her crying caused Mrs. Xia to rush to comfort her. She no longer wanted to investigate the background of the child’s mother. She thought that she would be able to see her great-granddaughter when she died, which was considered a great blessing among misfortunes. .
With this thought, most of the worries in the old lady’s heart disappeared. After a period of reflection, she passed away peacefully in her sleep that afternoon.
