But nobody could answer her question. The next day, everyone got their answers at the right moment.

Luo Lixi sent a freshly baked, masculine, charming Zhao Yichen who had rushed to the hospital after Luo Lixi called the elders, her grandfather's friends for help.

The man agreed without hesitation. Even if he didn't agree, his grandpa, Elder Bin would have kicked him out of the training ground to help Luo Lixi.

Not many people knew Zhao Yichen's family background. In their eyes, he was a good assistant, secretary, advisor and bodyguard under Luo Qintian.

When he came as the new CEO of the Luo Corporation, many doubted, including the shareholders and executives. In their eyes, they were a hundredfold more capable when operating a company.

But when they knew his identity, all the people shut up. Like cats getting stepped on their tail! When ignorant people doubted his ability, he threw his PhD on their faces.

Thus, the people who used to ignore and looked down on this promising man knew about the matters, they began to see him in new lights.

A mere bodyguard can also turn out to be a hidden gem acting like a rock! What time has come?!

...

Two days later. It was night time, around 10 pm.

Luo Lixi was looking at the nurse who had come to change the empty saline bag of the old man. After she was done, she glanced at Luo Lixi and smiled.

Luo Lixi got the feeling and looked up. She glanced at the nurse and asked,

"Anything want to say?

"

The nurse hurriedly shook her head and then murmured while picking the empty bag of saline,

"There are a few people like you, Miss.

"

Luo Lixi put down the file sent by Zhao Yichen, tilted her head with a brow raised and asked,

"Why say, miss nurse?

"

The nurse smiled when she was called miss nurse by Luo Lixi. It sounded very cute to her. It was indeed rare to find people addressing her so sweet yet innocently with respect.

"Other VIP patients don't even have such privileges. They will be left behind and their families would send money to look after them yet no one comes to keep them company.

" The nurse said.

It was the truth, indeed people had become slaves of money! All people were busy with their work, earning money yet nobody cared about the elderly or old patients' feelings. They neither cared about their own feelings which got buried down in their greed and needs.

"Oh, it's nothing.

" Luo Lixi remained humble and then returned her eyes to the file. From her behaviour, the nurse felt that Luo Lixi was a perfect granddaughter someone could ask for.

Also, the nurse was the first one to notice Luo Lixi's sickness and helped her get treated. Thus, Luo Lixi had a good impression of her.

After the nurse left, the room turned quiet. Luo Lixi returned her eyes to the file. While reading and checking them, she didn't know how much time had passed when a loud sound rang out.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

Luo Lixi threw the files to one side and rushed ahead. She looked down on the man who was struggling to open his eyes so he could look around. She murmured with a broken voice,

"Grandfather, finally, you are awake…

"

Luo Qintian slowly turned his eyes to Luo Lixi. The old man slowly blinked and saw the tear stricken face of his granddaughter. He tried to say but his lips felt heavy.

Luo Lixi hurriedly called the doctor to come and check on him. They came and assured her that everything was fine. After they left, Luo Lixi continued to sit beside him.

"Oh, grandfather, I was so worried. You didn't wake up for several days.

" Luo Lixi said with a smile which looked relieved.

Luo Qintian moved the oxygen mask slightly and said in his hoarse voice,

"I want to sit.

"

"Ah? Wait a second…

" Thus Luo Lixi went out to call the nurse who was in charge of Luo Qintian and asked if it was alright for Luo Qintian but they said he couldn't.

"The patient has gone through three heart surgeries. He can move only after two to three days.

" The nurse explained and then came into the room with Luo Lixi.

Luo Lixi went beside the old man and awkwardly said,

"You aren't allowed to move much in your current condition. If you need anything or feel uncomfortable, tell me.

"

Luo Qintian waved his hand and told her to come closer. When Luo Lixi leaned down, he removed his oxygen mask. The old man's low, hoarse and broken voice flew towards Luo Lixi's ears,

"For a moment, I thought I had finally died. At that time, the thought first came into my mind that… you are yet to settle down.

"

Luo Lixi looked down on the old wrinkled face and the man who was trying his best to finish his words. A strange kind of sadness overwhelmed her.

Luo Qintian put the oxygen mask back on and took a deep breath. Then, he removed it again and continued,

"Xixi, I won't live for long. You… should get married. I want to see you in a beautiful wedding dress before I die.

"

When she heard him, she couldn't bear to look at that face anymore. She sniffed hard and tried to force down her urge to cry as she said,

"Grandfather, don't say such ominous words. You will live long.

"

However, Luo Qintian clutched her hand and tightly grabbed it. Luo Lixi felt the power behind the grip and was surprised. Luo Qintian was clearly sick yet his grip was so tight that she couldn't move her fingers.

"Xixi, be a good girl and do what I have said. Get married before I die or I won't get peace.

" This time, his tone was like begging. Luo Lixi understood that Luo Qintian also knew his condition.

Sometimes, even if you have a lot of money, you can't use them to trade for several years to live more. From the reports of his, Luo Lixi understood that even if she brought Luo Qintian abroad, he wouldn't live past five months.

That is how life is and that is how life always will be, full of struggle and fight for existence but who can fight beyond their time?

Rather than having false hope, it was better to listen to her grandfather and do whatever he wanted so that he wouldn't have any regrets.

Luo Qintian sighed in relief in her silence, which was equivalent to her agreement. Then murmured,

"Don't think that I am forcing you. Just that if I die suddenly, you can be in trouble. That Sheng guy is already your fiancé. You two will get married sooner or later. It's better if you finish this task before I leave this world…

"

Right at this time, the nurse entered the room and frowned. She hurriedly went towards the patient's bed and interrupted their conversation.

"Miss Luo, he's a heart patient. It's necessary for him to take rest and talk less.

" The nurse said with a tinge of anger and then turned towards Luo Qintian with displeasure,

"Old man, you have a death wish?! Why did you remove your mask?!

"

The angry old nurse didn't consider their status and directly criticized Luo Lixi and Luo Qintian while she took the oxygen mask and put it back on Luo Qintian's face.

Both the grandfather and granddaughter shared a glance of amusement but they just remained silent avoiding to be yelled at by the old nurse again.

Afterwards she warned Luo Lixi not to let the man talk much and tire himself. Afterwards, she injected a medicine in Luo Qintian's arm and left.

Because of the injection, Luo Qintian felt very sleepy and his head became heavy. Before plunging into a deep dark abyss, he said with the last bit of his power,

"Child, go and find Xiang.

"

"I understand, grandfather.

" Luo Lixi nodded her head in understanding.

Everyone would want to see their relatives in their last time regardless of how much they had done evil.

Moreover, Luo Lixiang was Luo Qintian's grandson. Even if he threw him out of the mansion because of his wrongdoings, Luo Qintian still wished to see him once.

Thus, the man didn't hold back and went into another slumber after getting reassured by Luo Lixi. The sleep was necessary for his internal injuries to get healed.

Luo Lixi gazed at the old man's face. Then, she notified Aunt Zhu. As soon as the old woman heard the news, she rushed to the hospital from the Luo Mansion.

"Miss, when did old master woke up?!

" Aunt Zhu asked while scanning Luo Qintian's face. She was disappointed that he had already fallen asleep and she didn't even get the chance to talk once.

She regretted not staying back when her heart was aching not being able to see him awake, a part of her heart still scared with the thought of him leaving this world anytime soon.
