Knowing this, his heart ached. He wanted to see how badly hurt she was.

Alas, right now, like a prickly hedgehog, she refused to let him get close.

His lips quivered as he choked on his sobs.

Her earlier words were heartless and indifferent. She spared neither his face nor his feelings.

The old man refused to leave, though, and regarded her with bloodshot eyes.

She said: 'You're no grandfather to me and I won't acknowledge you, too! Give up!'

She also said: 'You destroyed my family! You're a murderer—a cruel miscreant! Get lost! I don't wanna see you ever again!'

Despite her refusal to see him, her desire to chase him away, and having his face trampled, the thick-skinned elderly man remained in the ward.

He wanted to look at her longer while he still had the chance!

He worried incessantly when he heard that she was suffering from a serious injury. Without caring whether he could stand for a long time or not, he rushed over here just to have a good look at her!

Unfortunately, before he could say more, she told him to disappear from her sight…

A knife twisted in his heart.

He could not blame her or anyone else for their current situation, though.

He was the one who had made such foolish mistakes!

His arrogance made him shot himself in the foot, resulting in the matter to get out of hand.

It was understandable that she did not wish to see him.

"Shishi, grandpa—" When he felt a keen stare stabbing him, he immediately corrected himself, lest she get agitated. "I really didn't expect for things to turn out this way! If I knew, I really wouldn't make such a foolish mistake! I'm old and befuddled; I did you and your mother wrong. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, but please don't chase me away. Let me look at you for a little longer; let me have a few more glimpses of you!"

He was on the verge of a breakdown. His voice sounded so hoarse and rough that it seemed to be mixed with gravel. He choked, "I'm afraid… that I don't have much time left. My body is getting weaker by the day, but I really can't stomach the indignation of not seeing you! It's fine if you scold me; whatever it is, just don't chase me away. I can quietly look at you from afar…"

The elderly man, who had been an influential figure all his life, put down all his pride in this plea full of sincerity. His blurry eyes squinted at her as if tears would leak from them in the next second.

She remained expressionless as she turned her head away without sparing him a glance. It was as if she had not heard his plea.

She was in no mood to hear anything from him now.

All she cared about was the safety of her children and nothing else.

"Get out of here! I don't wish to see you! I don't ever want to see you in this life!" She mercilessly told him this again.

He opened his mouth in shock, wanting to say something, but faltered when he saw her cold expression!

He almost cried as he sighed helplessly for fear of infuriating her.

He was truly a little helpless at the situation now. Not only was he at a loss on how he could make up for his mistakes, but he also did not know how to bridge the gap between them!

He was old and befuddled, indeed.

The sorry sight of his grandpa tugged at Mu Yazhe's heart a little.
