NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1163: At a Loss
"How is it? Does it taste good?"
Upon hearing this cheerful and gentle inquiry, Xiaobei glanced at Gu Xinxin standing not far away and nodded, "Yeah! It really tastes good!"
Receiving such a positive response, Gu Xinxin spun around in the gazebo…
Afterward, she softly explained, "This purple wisteria flower is something I planted here a long time ago! When I first planted it, I hoped my grandfather's health would also be like it, stronger. But these past years, grandpa's health has not been well, and my wish seems difficult to realize."
As she spoke, Gu Xinxin gently touched the branches of the wisteria…
Detecting the sadness in Xinxin's voice, Xiaobei squinted his eyes slightly…
From the first moment he saw Gu Dong, Xiaobei knew he had serious health problems…
Because of this, Xiaobei really didn't know how to comfort her…
While Xiaobei was still thinking, Gu Xinxin spoke first.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now!"
"No need!"
Gently shaking his head, Xiaobei took out two tissues from his pocket.
"Thank you!"
Saying this, Gu Xinxin gently took the tissues…
After wiping her tears, she seemed slightly better…
"Actually, I know life and death are inevitable, but even so, I… I'm really sad."
"Yeah! I…"
Just as Xiaobei nodded slightly, preparing to say something, a sudden rush of footsteps approached quickly…
"Something must have happened!"
Hearing the absolutely hasty footsteps, Xiaobei sighed silently…
He knew something must have happened, and most likely, it involved Gu Dong.
Considering his previous poor health, it was already quite remarkable that he had lasted until now…
While Xiaobei was thinking this, a young man with an anxious face quickly ran to the gazebo…
Seeing him, Gu Xinxin quickly stood up and said, "What happened? Could it be my grandpa's in trouble!"
It's a mutual understanding!
Without knowing the reason, she instinctively felt it was her grandfather who was in trouble since his arrival made her feel uneasy…
Upon hearing Xinxin's question, the young man calmed his emotions and said, "Yes! Sister Xinxin, you should go take a look! The old family head… suddenly lost consciousness earlier!"
Receiving the confirmed answer, Gu Xinxin's heart was fiercely gripped…
"I… I know, quickly lead the way!"
"Yes!"
The young man agreed and led the way quickly in front!
Seeing Xinxin rushing out anxiously, Xiaobei also hurriedly followed without hesitation.
Previously, Xiaobei disliked the people from The Valley of the Wicked because of the Nine Wood True Qi, but now, the main culprit had been punished…
So Xiaobei's resentment gradually dissipated…
Especially towards Gu Dong, he really didn't have any resentment at all because all previous matters had nothing to do with Gu Dong…
Without that resentment, he now hastened to catch up…
If possible, Xiaobei hoped to help Gu Dong live a little longer, but he knew it would be very difficult because he had seen his body and knew it was almost completely depleted…
Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to keep him alive…
…
"The atmosphere is really heavy!"
In front of an ancient-style courtyard, Xiaobei sighed silently!
The reason being, as soon as he arrived here, he felt the oppressive atmosphere.
Xiaobei knew everyone was aware of Gu Dong's condition, so they all knew he probably wouldn't make it through this…
With a slightly hoarse sigh, Xiaobei also walked through the ancient-style courtyard and came to the entrance of the main hall.
"Xiaobei!"
Seeing Xiaobei appear, the elders from The Valley of the Wicked greeted him warmly!
Seeing their forced smiles, Xiaobei was even more certain of his suspicion…
"Yeah!"
Having greeted them, Xiaobei quietly waited there…
Xiaobei knew he was now Xinxin's boyfriend, so he had to be there…
Five minutes later, Xiaobei heard slightly heavy footsteps…
Looking up, Xiaobei saw Gu Xinxin walk out.
She didn't have her previous vivacity anymore…
And clearly had just cried…
"Xiaobei, my grandpa wants to see you!"
Hearing her softly speak, Xiaobei took a step forward, seriously correcting, "Xinxin, that's not just your grandpa, that's our grandpa! Will you come with me?"
Hearing Xiaobei's correction, her expression slightly improved…
Quickly, she shook her head and said, "No! Grandpa said he wants to see you alone."
"Alright, then I'll go, you wait here for me."
"Okay!"
As Xinxin agreed, Xiaobei took a deep breath, and soon, Xiaobei quickly walked…
Everyone watched as Xiaobei walked to Gu Dong's room…
Upon reaching the room, Xiaobei caught a faint whiff of decay…
Sighing silently, Xiaobei walked forward, soon seeing Gu Dong sitting calmly on the wooden chair.
Clearly, he had regained consciousness…
While Xiaobei was thinking this, he turned his head and spoke softly, "Xiaobei, you're here."
"Yes! Grandpa!"
Looking at him, Xiaobei spoke in a slightly peaceful tone.
Right after speaking, Xiaobei heard Gu Dong laboriously begin, "Yeah, I heard about you and Xinxin from her. Honestly, I'm very pleased because once I'm gone, you'll be able to take good care of her! To be honest, over all this time, my only worry has been Xinxin."
His eyelid twitched slightly, and Xiaobei quickly said, "Grandpa, don't talk like that, you will be fine."
"Haha, I hope nothing happens to me either, but as for my health, I'm quite aware of it!"
Hearing this, Xiaobei hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa, I'm quite skilled in Chinese Medicine, can I take a look at you now?"
"You know medical skills? Sure!"
Hearing Xiaobei's words, he looked slightly surprised but still decisively agreed.
To be honest, he didn't have any hope in Xiaobei at all now.
The reason he agreed was just so as not to let Xiaobei down…
Understanding Gu Dong's current thoughts, Xiaobei didn't explain anything and slowly walked towards him. Soon, Xiaobei reached out his hand to take his pulse…
Seeing Xiaobei seriously taking his pulse, a gentle gleam passed Gu Dong's eyes!
Over the years, he had encountered many young people…
Among them, many were exceptional, but none were more outstanding than Xiaobei…
So thinking of his granddaughter being cared for by Xiaobei in the future, he felt truly happy…
Xiaobei was unaware of Gu Dong's current thoughts, absolutely focused now on taking his pulse…
"The problem is even worse than I anticipated!"
After a while, Xiaobei sighed silently…
Before, through observation, Xiaobei already noticed his health was poor, and now, Xiaobei confirmed this point…
Seeing Xiaobei furrowing his brows, Gu Dong chuckled softly, saying: "Life and death are destined, wealth and honor are in heaven, it's okay!"
Gu Dong had truly come to terms with things now…
He had lived a long time…
To be honest, previously, he had worried about his granddaughter, but now that she had someone to care for her, he truly had no more worries…
Hearing Gu Dong's words, Xiaobei gently withdrew his hand…
At this moment, Xiaobei really felt at a loss…
Generally, Xiaobei could use Nine Wood True Qi for treatment, but not with Gu Dong because his body was too weak now to handle his Nine Wood True Qi…
Simply put, Gu Dong's body was like a burlap sack on the verge of splitting, leaking from everywhere, making it impossible to patch…
