She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

The operation was arranged that afternoon. The surgeon was a brain expert with many years of experience specially invited by Huo Xibai, so the operation was very successful.

Three days later, the old man woke up and was taken off the ventilator for two days. After confirming that he was in good condition, he was transferred to the general ward.

In about a week, Meng Xia lost a lot of weight due to anxiety. Huo Xibai saw this and naturally felt very distressed——

"You go back and rest first. There are nurses here to take care of you. Grandma will be fine."

Although the old man woke up, the right side of his body was paralyzed, he had difficulty speaking, and he didn't have much waking time every day, so it was useless for them to stay here.

But Meng Xia refused to leave, "I want to stay with her for a while longer."

Huo Xibai was about to speak when he heard her say, "When my parents had a car accident, they died before they were sent to the hospital. I didn't even have the chance to be with them like this."

Hearing this, Huo Xibai didn't say anything more. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to her. He held her in his arms and said, "Then I'll accompany you."

Meng Xia did not refuse, but just held one of the old man's hands and talked nonchalantly, "Actually, I have my own selfish motives. It's because my parents didn't even have a chance to rescue me back then, so I didn't even think about it this time. Decided to have surgery.”

"But when I saw her shaving her head and lying there with tubes all over her body, I regretted it again..."

At this point, the woman's voice paused, and her voice became tinged with tears, "She is already eighty years old, maybe she really shouldn't suffer this anymore..."

Huo Xibai hugged her and comforted her warmly, "But the operation was successful. The doctor said that if the condition is good, she can live for another three to five years."

"But lying on the bed unable to move like this, is it really good for her?"

The tip of her nose was sore and tears slid down her cheeks. Meng Xia couldn't help turning her face away and leaned into Huo Xibai's arms. Her voice was so sad that she choked, "Huo Xibai, shouldn't I agree to the surgery?"

It seemed that it was the first time he saw Meng Xia who was so fragile and dependent on him. Huo Xibai's body froze. After a while, he carefully hugged her and comforted her, "Don't think too much, you just made the choice that most people would make. "

After all, it is a human life, and no family member is willing to give up treatment unless it is absolutely necessary.

"But it really hurts... I know what it feels like. When I just jumped off the second floor and broke my leg, it was so painful that it scratched my heart and lungs."

"Every day I lie in bed, I feel uncomfortable all over. I think that she may have to lie there for several years until..."

After all, she couldn't speak anymore, and the woman lay sadly in his arms and sobbed softly.

Her body stiffened, and Huo Xibai's hand caressing her back suddenly didn't dare to move. Although he had expected it, when he suddenly heard the mention of that incident, his heart felt as if it was being squeezed hard by a big hand. asphyxia.

His eyes flickered, and after a while, he put his hand on her shoulder again to comfort her, "No, she has gone through the most dangerous and difficult time, and she will get better slowly."

"really?"

Meng Xia looked up from his arms and looked up at him. Before Huo Xibai could respond, she suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the hospital bed in disbelief——

"Huo Xibai, she is holding my hand!"

Hearing this, the man looked down and saw the old, rough hand held by Meng Xia. The knuckles were slightly hooked, and he gently held her hand.

"Huo Xibai, do you think she's grabbing me?"

"Yes, she caught you, she heard your words and responded to you."

"really?"

Meng Xia's face lit up with joy, and she quickly squeezed her hand and came forward, "Grandma..."
