The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 429
Chapter 429: Revenge For Grandmother
Jiang Xuecheng swept his gaze across the people in the room. His voice was cold and clear.
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s question, Xie Changfeng, who knew the situation the best, felt his fingers tremble. It was as if something had crushed his heart. He felt a dull pain.
Xie Changfeng took a deep breath and tried his best to regain composure.
“Before the main power was restored, the power in the emergency room was cut off for dozens of seconds. The electronic equipment in the hospital did not have electricity, so it was impossible to display the exact values. When the doctor was operating…”
Xie Changfeng did not say anything else.
Xie Changfeng spoke very calmly, but his trembling shoulders revealed the sorrow that was constantly surging up in his heart at that moment.
Everything was fate, and it was not up to him at all…
These things could not be blamed on the doctor.
They had already tried very hard to save Lin Xuan, but at the crucial moment of the surgery, the power was cut off again. What could the doctors do?
When he saw the lights in the operating theater go out again, Xie Changfeng felt as if someone had smashed a huge boulder into his heart. He really wanted to rush into the operating theater, but what was the use of rushing in?!
When he saw the lights in the operating theater come back on again after dozens of seconds, Xie Changfeng was almost ecstatic. However, before he could be happy for long, a doctor opened the door of the operating theater.
Three to five doctors in white coats walked out. They looked tired, but there was guilt on their faces.
“I’m sorry, we tried our best, but we really couldn’t do anything…”
Xie Changfeng froze on the spot. Just like that, he was told the truth about Lin Xuan’s death…
When he recalled what had happened earlier, Xie Changfeng’s breathing was extremely difficult, and his voice was a little hoarse.
He had long been used to having Lin Xuan by his side, but in the end, she was gone, just like that…
He had no time to prepare at all!
Xie Changfeng’s expression was sorrowful, but his usually straight back was now hunched. His entire body was enveloped by a decadent aura, and he had aged over ten years.
The pain of losing his wife was indescribable.
Up until now, he had not recovered from the pain of losing Lin Xuan.
He held Lin Xuan’s hand in his palm, but that pale and skinny hand would no longer be warm…
From now on, he would be the only one guarding that huge room in A City.
In the empty room, there would be no one to accompany him anymore.
Xie Changfeng felt a pain in his heart. He suddenly coughed and his voice was extremely hoarse.
Su Wan saw her grandfather like this and could not help but cry. She sniffed and quickly walked forward to pat Xie Changfeng’s back, wanting him to breathe more smoothly.
“Grandfather, grandmother is gone. You have to take care of your health. Don’t be too sad. Grandmother definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
Xie Changfeng’s heart ached. He closed his eyes and forced back the tears that were about to burst out.
He said in a hoarse voice and shook his head sadly, “I’m already so old. What difference does it make if I don’t take care of my health?”
He and Lin Xuan were childhood sweethearts. They met in their teens and married when they were in their twenties. They had been together for decades. They had agreed to live together until they were a hundred years old, but Lin Xuan had broken the agreement first.
Lin Xuan had left him alone in this cold world. What was the point of living like this?
When Su Wan heard Xie Changfeng’s self-destructive tone, her heart ached even more.
“Grandfather…”
She knew that Xie Changfeng couldn’t accept the fact that his wife had suddenly passed away. To be honest, how could she accept it?
But in the end, the days had to go on.
If grandfather couldn’t think straight and took his own life, then what would the young ones like them do?
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Xie Changfeng’s pessimistic words, he pursed his lips and handed Xie Changfeng a glass of water.
“Grandfather, grandmother is gone. You have to take care of your health. There are still many things to do. We have to take care of grandmother’s funeral. We also have to bring the mastermind behind grandmother’s murder to justice.”
Hearing this, Xie Changfeng closed his eyes in pain. He put down the water that Jiang Xuecheng handed him and sighed.
He knew very well that Jiang Xuecheng was not wrong at all.
There were still many things that had not been dealt with, and the mastermind behind Lin Xuan’s murder had not been found. He could not let himself be depressed like this.
Jiang Xuecheng stood beside Xie Changfeng and looked at Xie Changfeng’s expression.
Although he looked lonely, he did not give up as much as before. It seemed that he really had the will to live.
Now that Lin Xuan was gone, if Xie Changfeng didn’t want to live anymore, Su Wan probably would take things too hard.
Jiang Xuecheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He fixed his gaze on Xie Changfeng and asked tentatively.
“Then, should we place grandmother’s body in the morgue first?”
It was midsummer now, and the temperature was very high even at night. If Lin Xuan’s body wasn’t dealt with in time, she would probably smell.
Xie Changfeng and Lin Xuan were actually people from S City. It was only because Xie Changfeng was teaching at Changxin University that he settled in A City all year round.
Since Lin Xuan died unexpectedly, she naturally had to be buried in S City. She would be buried in Beiling cemetery.
Sleeping in the same cemetery with Su Wan’s parents was another form of reunion.
However, Jiang Xuecheng planned to discuss these matters with Xie Changfeng tomorrow. It was too late now, and Xie Changfeng’s mood was also low.
When Jiang Xuecheng’s question entered his ears, Xie Changfeng’s hand suddenly trembled, and he squeezed Lin Xuan’s hand even harder in his palm
His eyes were extremely dry, and in an instant, a tear fell from his eye.
“Let me accompany her for a while more…”
He had not looked at her enough. If he did not look at her now, he would no longer have the chance to do so…
An old and hoarse male voice was heard in a low tone, and it made the people in the ward feel sad.
“Alright.”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded. Of course, he understood Xie Changfeng’s emotions at this moment. If something happened to Su Wan, he would probably be even more devastated than Xie Changfeng.
Jiang Xuecheng looked around at the people in the ward and then gently waved his hand, signaling everyone to go out together, leaving Xie Changfeng and Lin Xuan the last bit of time to be alone together.
Su Wan reluctantly watched the door of the ward close, her eyes burning.
Life and death were the greatest of barriers between people. She would never have the chance to hear her grandmother’s voice and see her smile again.
People often said that the good would eventually be rewarded. However, her grandmother had been a Buddhist all her life and had never done anything bad. Why did she have to bear such karma?
How cruel God was!
He had torn apart a family just like that!
Su Wan’s heartache was unspeakable. When Jiang Xuecheng saw her like this, he silently put their arms around her shoulders and said solemnly looking into her eyes.
“Wan Wan, I know you’re very sad, but grief can only be temporary. It can’t last forever. As long as we’re alive, there’s hope. If we, as the younger generation, don’t pull ourselves together, we’ll only make our loved ones suffer and our enemies happy.”
Su Wan nodded, choking on her sobs. Her voice was nasal as she spoke.
“I know. I’ll be strong.”
She wanted to avenge her grandmother. She couldn’t fall.
