In less than five seconds, Wen Zhixia called again.

Xu Hui hung up and deleted the call again.

the third time.

the fourth time.

Finally, when the phone call didn’t go through, she switched to WeChat voice.

Such a persistent attitude annoyed Xu Hui.

Does this woman have any shame? Xu Hui stared at the screen fiercely. Is this how this woman usually calls Fu Ruoshi?

Didn't she know he was busy? Didn't she understand how hard it was for him?

Do men like this kind of fat meat that they can’t get but always have on their lips?

The more Xu Hui thought about it, the angrier she became, and she simply turned off Fu Ruoshi's phone.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Fu Ruoshi coming out of Starbucks with a cup of coffee.

She quickly stuffed his phone into the gap between the seats to make it look like he had dropped it himself.

"Thank you, Ruoshi," she took the coffee and took a sip, "the coffee you bought is better than the coffee bought by others."

Fu Ruoshi gave a dry laugh, started the car, and continued driving towards the airport.

At the same time, Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

Wen Zhixia's heart died when Fu Ruoshi hung up on her for the first time.

The next few calls were made on behalf of her grandfather. She was afraid that he would wake up and look for him, and wanted to hear a few words of comfort from him.

But not only did he ruthlessly hang up, he also turned off the phone.

Wen Zhixia felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

He is such a ruthless person, what are you expecting?

Then, she wanted to send a WeChat message to Xu Hui to ask her why she hurt her grandfather.

Before the dialog box was opened, the light at the door of the operating room suddenly went out.

When Wen Zhixia saw the lights go out, her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly stood up by supporting herself on the chair and saw the surgeon slowly walking out.

Watching the doctor slowly approaching, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor, Wen Zhixia wanted to ask several times, but when the words came to her lips, they were all stuck in her throat.

The doctor took off his mask with a tired look, and placed his hand on Wen Zhixia's thin shoulder, hesitant to speak.

He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Xiao Wen, I'm sorry."

"The old man left at 7 o'clock sharp."

......

Wen Zhixia collapsed instantly.

Fortunately, Sister Cao supported her from behind. Wen Zhixia was conscious, but she could not accept such a blow at all.

"How could this happen?" Sister Cao looked at the doctor. "He was fine yesterday. How could he suddenly become ill? Please try to save him again!"

The surgeon sighed heavily, "Xiao Wen, please inform the elderly man's family. I'm deeply saddened."

After that, several doctors left one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhixia saw the old man's body covered with white cloth being pushed out.

"Grandpa..." She let go of Sister Cao and limped over. She looked at the white cloth in front of her and stretched out her trembling hands to uncover it. The moment she saw Grandpa's face, she knelt down in front of the stretcher.

Tears as big as beans fell down her face, but she couldn't cry out a sound.

No one wiped her tears anymore.

……

Outside the airport departure hall.

Fu Ruoshi took Xu Hui's luggage from the trunk and said, "Have a nice trip~"

"Bad guy! You cursed me!" Xu Hui hit him again, angrily, "You'll have to say it again."

Fu Ruoshi curled his lips but didn't respond. He planned to visit Wen Litao on his way back, so he casually touched his pocket.

"Hey, I still have a cell phone."

"Ah?" Xu Hui played dumb. "What cell phone? Didn't you just bring a cell phone?"

Fu Ruoshi hurried back to Xu Hui's car to look for it. After searching for a long time, he finally found it in the gap under the seat.

"How did you get lost here?" Xu Hui hit him on the waist. "You're so stupid, you're so forgetful. I'm worried about you going home alone!"

Fu Ruoshi put the phone in his pocket and said with a smile, "I'm not going home. I'm going back to work at the company."

"Well, remember to think of me." Xu Hui waved to him.

Fu Ruoshi returned to the car and took out his cell phone. He didn't know when he had dropped it, and it had turned off. He had no time to think about it and turned it back on.

Seven missed calls.

It was all Wen Zhixia's fault.

There are four unread messages on WeChat, which are also Wen Zhixia’s voice messages.

A strong sense of foreboding suddenly came over me.

Fu Ruoshi fought back without saying a word.

After waiting for almost a minute, the voice was finally answered, but it was a strange voice——

"Who are you? Doctor Wen is busy."

Fu Ruoshi took two seconds to determine that it was Sister Cao, the nurse. He hurriedly asked, "Where's Wen Zhixia? She called me more than ten times. What's going on?"

Sister Cao was silent for a long time before she finally sighed and said, "Zhixia's grandfather has passed away. Please come over quickly."

The phone slipped from my hand.

Fu Ruoshi turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the affiliated hospital.

At this moment, in the ward.

Wen Zhixia lay in front of Wen Litao's hospital bed, holding his hand and looking at his lifeless face.

"Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you for so long. I shouldn't have married someone random. I shouldn't have gotten into that circle."

"I've caused you trouble. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

"Grandpa, don't ignore me..."

"Grandpa, I want to eat milk ice cream..."

No matter how she called, Wen Litao could no longer respond to her.

Wen Zhixia's eyes were red as she lay on the edge of the bed and cried silently.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard from outside the ward.

In the corridor, Fu Ruoshi ran into the ward like a flash under the gaze of passers-by.

I saw a small body lying on the edge of the bed, with thin shoulders shaking constantly.

Next to him was the lifeless face of the old man.

Fu Ruoshi almost lost his balance.

Wen Zhixia still cried so cautiously and silently. Fu Ruoshi didn't dare to imagine how helpless and desperate she felt during the hour when he lost contact with her.

......

It felt like something was cutting his throat again and again, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't speak.

He choked and knocked on the door, "I, I, that..."

Hearing the sound, Wen Zhixia raised her head, rubbed her eyes and turned around.

The moment his eyes met hers, Fu Ruoshi saw her red eyes filled with tears and felt a sense of panic for no reason.

He was like being struck by lightning, his whole body was frozen and he couldn't move even a step.

Wen Zhixia raised her head, her voice full of grievance and hoarse nasal sound: "You, why did you come just now?"

Seeing her heartbroken eyes, Fu Ruoshi's iron-hard heart was broken.

"I didn't see your phone," he said awkwardly, "I'm sorry...really..."

After saying that, he walked forward and wanted to pick up Wen Zhixia.

The moment he touched her, Wen Zhixia suddenly felt like she was electrocuted and pushed him away fiercely.

"I asked you why you just came!!!"

She opened her red eyes and questioned, "Speak up! Why did you come just now!!!"

Fu Ruoshi looked at her face filled with tears of anger and despair, and his heart felt like it was being stabbed over and over by tens of thousands of needles.

He could no longer control himself and pulled Wen Zhixia into his arms, holding her tightly.

The moment he hugged her, Wen Zhixia finally burst into tears.

“Grandpa is gone!” she struggled and cried, “Why did you hang up on me?! Why didn’t you answer my call?! You can ignore me at any time, why didn’t you answer my call now?!”

Fu Ruoshi was filled with grief and held her tightly without saying a word. Wen Zhixia couldn't struggle free, so she kicked and hit him, tearing his clothes, buttons, and tie into pieces, venting all the sadness and grievances in her heart.

Fu Ruoshi endured her kicking, hitting and biting without saying a word, but his arms around her never loosened at all.

He wanted her to vent all the pain and unhappiness in her heart and not suppress it in her heart anymore.
