Gu Qianran called Duan Xingzhe because she thought that since Duan Xingzhe could overcome the illness, so could her grandfather, the hero who defeated everything.

Duan Xingzhe was still a little excited when he heard Gu Qianran's voice suddenly, but he couldn't help heaving a long sigh when he heard her talking about Mr. Gu's condition.

"I've already asked the doctor about Grandpa's situation. It's not impossible to have an operation, but we still need to consider whether it is necessary."

Duan Xingzhe's voice was still gentle, but his answer was not what Gu Qianran wanted.

She hugged her knees with her hands, and she curled up into a ball.

"Why is it not necessary? Could it be that grandpa is already old, so we can just watch him leave this world?"

Gu Qianran was a little agitated.

"Qianran, I understand how you feel, but," Duan Xingzhe couldn't help but sigh again.

"Grandpa is right. We are still not sure whether the cancer cells have spread. If it has spread, even if we strongly request it, the doctor will not perform this operation."

Duan Xingzhe knew that Gu Qianran might not like to hear his own words, but he still had to say them.

Because he understood Gu Qianran's character, she felt sorry for her grandfather, and might make extreme decisions that went against the wishes of the old man.

"It's better. If the cancer cells in Grandpa's body haven't spread, it's not certain whether his body can control it if we help him perform such a large-scale operation."

Let's not talk about whether the matching liver can be found, but according to the old man's current situation, can his body still accept such a brand new organ?
Of course Gu Qianran wanted it too, but she just didn't want to accept this reality, so she hung up the phone with a snap.

"Then what should I do? Do you want to watch grandpa being taken away by the illness?" She lowered her head heavily and buried her entire face in her legs.

Even if she was crying, she didn't want to make any noise, and she didn't want anyone to hear it.

Early the next morning, Duan Xingzhe called again. He solemnly apologized to Gu Qianran, saying that he had known about Mr. Gu's condition for a long time, but he hadn't told her for a long time.

Gu Qianran didn't speak, looking at the pouring rain outside the window, feeling depressed.

"Qianran, because I am sick, I can understand grandpa's feelings better, because I love grandpa as much as you, so I can understand you too, but me, but I am too incompetent, I don't know how to help you."

Duan Xingzhe, who was not defeated by his illness, suddenly burst into tears. When Gu Qianran heard it, his heart seemed to be blocked by a boulder.

Powerlessness was indeed her deepest pain.

The smart Chen Bao and Yu Bao also gradually saw the clues. Every day when they came back from school, they would quietly accompany Mr. Gu, even knowing that he was asleep, they were reluctant to leave.

"Grandpa, Mommy said that eating some fruit will make your mouth feel better." Yu Bao sat opposite to Mr. Gu with a small plate of cantaloupe.

Mr. Gu nodded slightly, and she pricked a small piece by herself, and slowly tasted it on the old man's lips.

As the condition worsened, his appetite became very poor, and gradually he felt that he had lost his sense of taste, at least whatever he ate felt that it tasted bad, as if it was broken.

So he asked a lot, and every day he would think of different meals for the servants to prepare, but when it was time to eat, most of them only took one bite and stopped eating.

He ate an extra piece of fruit that Yu Bao personally fed, but it was only two sips, so he shook his head and stopped eating.

Noticing Chen Bao's probing eyes, Mr. Gu tried his best to prop up his body and sit still.

"Grandpa is getting old and sick." His voice became quieter, and he squinted his eyes when he spoke. His hair had fallen out a lot, and there were only a few sparse strands left on the top of his head.

Gu Chen's little fleshy hand was resting on Mr. Gu's shoulder all the time, his palm was sweating, and he was reluctant to let go.

"After a while, Grandpa may leave you and go to another world." Grandpa Gu has never been superstitious, but he firmly believes that even death does not mean disappearance.

"No, Yubao doesn't want grandpa to go to another world, Yubao wants grandpa to stay with us all the time."

Yu Bao suddenly couldn't restrain his emotions, and cried loudly on the lap of Mr. Gu.

Gu Qianran at the door saw it, and broke down in tears again. She walked in quickly and wanted to take Yu Bao away, not wanting to make the old man sad because of her.

But Mr. Gu waved his hand lightly and refused.

He wanted to say good-bye to the two children while he was still awake and able to speak.

"Grandpa doesn't want to go either, but there's no way, everyone will go there eventually, but you two don't have to worry, Grandpa can always see you."

Mr. Gu put his hand gently on Yu Bao's head and stroked it slowly, calming down the two children.

"Grandpa can really see us?" Yu Bao didn't quite believe it, and looked up at the old man with tears in his eyes.

Mr. Gu nodded seriously, "Of course, although you can no longer see me, I can see you, I can see you growing up, getting married and having children, and slowly becoming an adult , even an old man."

"Then what should we do if we miss you?" Chen Bao bit his lip and suddenly asked an irrational question.

Gu Qianran wiped away the tears from her face vigorously just now, but she couldn't hold back any longer when she heard his words, so she had to turn around quickly and come out.

"If you miss me, think about what I have told you, the stories I have told you, or look at my photos and videos."

Mr. Gu's eyes suddenly became very bright.

"Chenbao Yubao, although my grandfather will pass away and leave you physically, my spirit will always be there and will always be with you."

Yu Bao didn't understand, and frowned tightly.

"You taught us how to play chess, and every time we play chess with others in the future, it's as if you are still beside us, accompanying us to play games with others, isn't it?" Chen Bao seemed to understand, and tried to explain.

Mr. Gu nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, that's what the old man said."

"In the future, you will think of what the old man taught you, and what the old man told you. If you live hard because of the old man, then I will be by your side."

Chen Bao and Yu Bao didn't know much about death, and this was probably the first time they faced death directly.

But often, understanding does not mean that they can accept it, after all, they are still such young children.
