When Grandpa Shao heard the concern in Wen Yin's tone, the smile on his lips couldn't help but turn a bit bitter.
"Xiang Wei must have told you about my anorexia. It's getting worse and worse."
Grandpa Shao sighed as he talked about his illness.
His once bright eyes had become dull and hazy because of this trouble.
Wen Yin couldn't help but feel a bit sad seeing that the grandpa, who had been in good spirits just a few months ago, had become like this.
"Do you like the light noodle soup I made today? If you do, I can come and cook for you often."
Wen Yin pursed her lips and finally said firmly.
"It's not a good idea to go without eating all day."
Although she had only met Grandpa Shao twice.
But the aura of strictness and kindness on him made Wen Yin couldn't help but think of her late grandma.
Looking at his old face, Wen Yin couldn't help but recall the words her grandma had said to her before she passed away.
Even when lying in the hospital bed with tubes all over her body for treatment, her grandma didn't forget to hold her hand and pat it gently.
"A Yin, grandma believes in you."
"You've done very well all these years. It's grandma who is useless and couldn't let you live a happy life like your peers."
"But in this lifetime... grandma has no regrets to have accompanied you for more than a decade."
Just thinking of those words by the hospital bed, Wen Yin's eyes couldn't help but get a bit moist.
So Wen Yin's affection for Grandpa Shao in front of her increased a bit more.
It was with such a smile that her grandma had looked at her and said those words about having no regrets.
Grandpa Shao was a bit stunned when he heard Wen Yin offer this on her own initiative.
Although he had this intention, he didn't expect Wen Yin to bring it up herself.
Although Grandpa Shao didn't often surf the Internet and didn't know about Wen Yin's affairs in the entertainment circle.
But he knew that Wen Yin was a well - known designer who had carved out a path for herself in the highly competitive design field.
Now she had even established her own studio. Presumably, she was very busy on weekdays.
But he didn't expect that Wen Yin would offer to come and cook for him from time to time.
Wen Yin's words made his previous thoughts waver a bit. So he waved his hand feebly.
"Girl, I'm already content with your kind thought. I heard from Xiang Wei that you have a dessert shop and a designer studio. You must be very busy."
"It already makes me feel bad to trouble you from time to time as an old man like me."
After saying this, Grandpa Shao sighed with a smile.
"Everything in a person's life is predestined. It's better to let things take their natural course."
Hearing these words, Wen Yin's pupils suddenly constricted.
Wen Yin's thoughts flashed back to a few years ago.
She had finally managed to scrape up enough money, but unexpectedly, her grandma had given up treatment on her own initiative. As a result, she missed the best time for treatment.
So she sat in front of the hospital bed, threw herself into her grandma's arms and cried uncontrollably.
It was rare for Wen Yin to show such a broken and helpless emotion on her face.
But her grandma still mustered up her last bit of strength to stroke her soft hair.
"A Yin, don't cry."
These simple four words seemed to take all of grandma's strength.
"Everything in a person's life is predestined. Since that's the case, we might as well follow God's arrangement."
"The thing I regret the least in my life is adopting you."
At this time, grandma was terminally ill and spoke in a faint voice.
But she enunciated each word clearly as if she was afraid Wen Yin couldn't hear.
Wen Yin raised her tear - stained face and looked at her.
"I don't believe in any arrangement or predestination. I just want you to be safe and healthy by my side."
But Wen Yin never expected that her grandma already knew she had been recognized back into the Wen family.
And she didn't expect that even at her grandma's last moment, what she was still worried about was herself.
"I heard that your biological father has taken you back..."
When grandma said this, she tightly grasped Wen Yin's hand.
"A Yin is a smart child."
"You should know that the wealthy families are heartless. I won't be with you anymore. You must take good care of yourself and don't be framed by those with ill intentions..."
"Grandma won't be able to accompany you any longer."
After saying these words with all her might, grandma took her last breath right in front of her.
And this had become a great regret in her heart.
Wen Yin pretended to casually wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked up at Grandpa Shao again.
"I never believe in predestination. I only believe that if you do your best, there will surely be a good result."
In just a few short sentences, Wen Yin had already understood that Grandpa Shao's illness must be in the advanced stage.
Otherwise, how could he have become so thin in just a few months?
Moreover, Grandpa Shao probably couldn't see any hope and his attitude towards treatment was very negative.
Grandpa Shao was a bit stunned when he suddenly heard her words and met her red - rimmed eyes. He suddenly found that the little girl in front of him was not as unfeeling and cold as he had investigated.
"Moreover, my work and the business of the dessert shop are not very busy. I can finish them in the morning."
Wen Yin said word by word.
"Others may give up on you, but you must never give up on yourself."
Wen Yin took two steps forward. Although her voice was not loud.
But it was like small stones hitting Grandpa Shao's heart heavily.
Wen Yin was not only inspiring his will to survive, but also saying these words to her late grandma.
Back then, grandma didn't know that Wen Yin had already scraped up enough medical fees. She only knew that Wen Yin had found her wealthy biological father.
And she subconsciously thought that she was a burden to Wen Yin. So her attitude towards treatment in the later stage was very negative. She even looked forward to the day when death would come every day.
It was only after Wen Yin read grandma's last letter that she suddenly realized that grandma had such thoughts before.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden it from her and given up treatment.
Therefore, in such a situation, when Wen Yin saw another old man losing his will to survive in front of her, she couldn't help but be so excited and blurt out these words without thinking.
Grandpa Shao's clear eyes flickered slightly. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to the little girl in front of him.
To be honest, Wen Yin was right.
When he knew that his anorexia was getting worse and worse, Grandpa Shao had long given up hope.
He had searched for famous doctors all over the world, but there was no solution.
While they were talking, a doctor came over to give Grandpa Shao an intravenous drip of glucose.
Seeing this scene, Wen Yin couldn't help but feel even more heart - broken. So she said.
"I'll spare time to come and have meals with you and cook for you twice a day."
"So, please always have hope in your heart."
