George thought for a moment and held his head up high. “Stop pretending, bitch. That old man is already so old. He’s practically half–dead already. Why are <b>you </b>still wasting money on him?
“You wouldn’t give me <b>a </b>single cent, but you pretended to be <b>such </b>a devoted granddaughter to him. That old fart was probably overjoyed when he saw me. He couldn’t wait to <b>die</b><b>! </b>
“You think you’re being filial? You’re forcing him to suffer. <b>He’s </b>already so old. You’re just dragging on his suffering needlessly. See, I did him <b>a </b>favor-”
Before George could finish that sentence, he was pped <b>across </b>the face loudly.
However, it was not Mnie who hit him. It was Dn.
Dn was shaking from head to <b>toe </b>after she pped him. Her eyes were red and swollen<b>, </b>and tears were still streaming down her <b>face</b>.
She jabbed a finger at George<b>. </b>“Shut up! That’s <b>my </b>father<b>! </b>How could you say such a thing<b>?!</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b>So what if he’s your father? <b>He </b>isn’t my father. I’m not going to spend my money on that decrepit bag of bones<b>…</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
“Are you even human<b>?!</b><b>” </b>Dn rarely ever raised her voice like that. Perhaps her father’s death had finally sent her off the edge, <b>so </b>she did not stop attacking George even after the man fought back.
It was chaotic outside<b>. </b>
Mnie was looking at themotion, but her hands trembled uncontrobly.
Her back was facing the ward door. She still did <b>not </b>dare to go inside.
It could not be <b>real</b><b>. </b>No way.
As long as she did not open the door, Grandpa would be fine.
Before she left yesterday, her grandfather had told her that <b>he </b>craved the taste of Mrs. Zawn’s cooking.
She had <b>even </b>shown him what the <b>new </b>house looked like.
Mnie’s hand gripped the door handle tightly, but she did <b>not </b>have <b>the </b>courage to push the door open. It was as if there was an abyss behind the door. <b>If </b><b>she </b>opened it<b>, </b>she would bepletely devoured.
However, the <b>hospital </b>did not have time to waste on her,
When the nurse <b>came </b>to inform <b>her </b>that they had to remove the bed, Mnie’s face was as white as a sheet.
Beside her, Xander <b>squeezed </b>her arm. <b>“</b><b>Go </b>say goodbye.”
Thest remaining thread in Mnie’s heart snapped. Teardrops rolled from her eyes, and she immediately raised her hand to wipe them away.
Yes, she had to say goodbye to her grandfather.
She could not cry.
Grandpa didn’t like to see her cry.
Mnie wiped her face haphazardly and slowly opened the door.
She tried her best to look light–hearted, but when she saw the old man lying on the bed<b>, </b><b>the </b>corners of her lips that had curled up inmediately <b>fell</b>.
It took a lot of strength for Mnie to press her lips tightly together. Even <b>so</b><b>, </b>the <b>tears </b>in her eyes would not stop streaming down her <b>face</b><b>. </b>
She reached out and carefully held her grandfather’s hand. There was still some warmth left on it.
Mnie could not take it anymore. She put her grandfather’s hand on her head, just as her grandfather had patted her head when she was a child.
Her voice was heavy with tears and sorrow. <b>“</b>Grandpa, are you abandoning me too now?”
