Grandpa's hand moved again, and then his eyes opened slowly, seeing Rose and Bright standing by his bed.
"Grandpa, you finally woke up." Rose held back her tears and smiled so as not to let her grandfather worry.
Grandfather looked over Rose and said to Bright, "I made you worry about me again."
"Grandpa, your waking up is better than anything." Bright put his hand on Rose's shoulder and patted gently.
Rose nodded, "Grandpa, how are you feeling? Are you all right? If there's anything wrong? I'll call a doctor."
"No, I'm fine. I'm just tired and want to get some sleep." Grandfather shook his head, looking at the two of them, who were also a little tired. "Please go back and rest. Doris is at home alone, and nanny may not be able to coax her."
"It's all right, Doris is a good girl," Rose said. "I just want to spend more time with you."
"Grandpa, if you're tired, just take a rest. Rose and I will go back soon." Bright understood Grandpa's wish. He wanted them to go home and didn't want to cause them too much trouble.
Grandfather nodded, slowly closed his eyes and continued to rest.
Bright patted Rose on the shoulder, pulled her to her feet, and motioned her to go to the break room to have a talk.
When they went to the break room, Bright said, "Let's go back. Grandpa will be under pressure if we are here. He will only feel relaxed when we leave, and there are professional careers to take care of him. If anything happens, the hospital will inform us in the first time."
Grandpa had just woken up and wanted to rest again, just to escape and not to face them.
Grandfather always felt that he had been counting his days and that his illness could only cause them trouble. He was a strong man and didn't want to rely too much on others.
Rose could see that, so she agreed with Bright, "Yes."
Bright and Rose told Grandpa that they would come to see him tomorrow morning and then they left.
When they got home, Doris had gone to bed. But they still went to Doris's room to see her. After kissing their daughter, they dragged themselves back to their room and then went to bed.
Rose was always in a low mood because of her grandfather's affairs. She thought her grandfather could have more chances to live, but he had already put life and death aside and chose to let nature take its course.
They had their own minds, and Bright was caught in the middle.
"The most important thing in life is to live happily." Bright didn't want Rose to be sad, "Grandpa understands your mind, but he has his own choice."
"I couldn't watch my grandfather fall over and over again... Every time he falls, he comes closer to death. I can't bear it." Rose's heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and at the thought of it, she felt so painful that she could not breathe.
"My grandfather is my family, the one who has always loved me since childhood."
"I know. But it is Grandpa's choice." Bright reminded.
