Chapter 1017 Alone

Chapter 1017   Alone

Ella smiled and didn't answer the question.

The director didn't mind and continued: "Mr. Lin has been here for a long time. He has a strange temper, rarely speaks, and doesn't like to talk to people. There are so many people in our nursing home, but I've never seen him be friendly with anyone."

Shen Qi nodded in agreement.

Mr. Lin doesn't care whether you are good-looking or rich. He will ignore you if he says he will ignore you.

"I heard that Mr. Lin had a good relationship with his wife. When his wife passed away, she told him to take good care of the child. As a result, the child passed away not long after. I think Mr. Lin feels guilty for his wife's trust, so he blames himself." The director continued: "But no one wants this kind of thing. The child is in poor health and can't be saved even after spending so much money. The hospital can't be blamed!"

Listening to the director chattering about Mr. Lin's son, Shen Qi couldn't help asking: "Then, Mr. Lin is a meritorious person after all. Why hasn't anyone come to visit him for so many years?"

"In the past, some leaders would come to see him during festivals. However, as you can see, Mr. Lin has a strange temper. He won't see anyone if he says he won't see them, so those leaders won't come. Originally, it was just a formality. Mr. Lin didn't cooperate, and others did. Naturally, the leaders wouldn't come to see him, so no one has come in recent years." The dean replied, "You are the first group to come to visit him in recent years. I thought he would die here and no one would know."

"How is Mr. Lin's health?" Ella continued to ask.

"Not good. He's almost 90, how good can he be?" The dean shook his head like a rattle: "Don't think he's still energetic now, but he's already in bad shape. He hasn't been able to eat anything for several days. Isn't it strange? His body is declining, but his spirit is still good. In fact, I think he might as well be confused, so that he won't suffer when he dies. Isn't it cruel to watch yourself die of old age?"

Seeing that Ella and Shen Qi's faces were not good, the dean immediately said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't want to treat him. It's just that he really doesn't want to cooperate, always saying that when the fate comes, he should die. So we have no choice! Besides, he moved in with his pension, because he doesn't have any descendants, so the money is directly transferred to the account of our nursing home. I hope that Mr. Lin will live a hundred years, right? How could I not treat him? It's Mr. Lin who really doesn't cooperate!"

In order to show that what he said was true, the dean even took out the diagnosis and treatment records.

Shen Qi looked through it and found that Elder Lin had indeed been arranged for several physical examinations and treatments.

What the dean said made sense. It seemed that it was Elder Lin's own idea.

After understanding the situation, everyone left the dean's office and walked out together.

Brother Mo held the child and said, "How about taking him away by force?"

Ella glanced at him, "You only know how to use force, can't you use your brain?"

Shen Qi said slowly, "Aunt, it seems that Grandpa Lin is really tired of the world. Let's do our best and leave it to fate! I just looked at Grandpa Lin's medical records. His body functions are declining. This is a trend that everyone will have. And Grandpa Lin's legs couldn't walk more than ten years ago, so he can't use grandma's method to prolong his life."

Shen Lu interrupted and said, "The key is that he won't cooperate."

Shen Qi nodded, "Yes. Let's go talk to him again."

Ella looked regretful: "Yes. I found out a long time ago that uncle's health is not good. The dean said that he probably only has three or two months left. With the current medical standards and technology, there is no way to extend the time. The dean did not lie. He really didn't need to delay the treatment of uncle's illness. After all, once uncle dies, the pension will not be available here. So, the dean also hopes that uncle can live longer." Shen Qi turned to the others and said, "Grandpa Lin has a weird temper. You wait here. I will go with aunt." The others nodded. It can only be like this! The old man has a weird temper and only talks to girls. He is also drunk. Ella supported Shen Qi and continued to look for old man Lin Xu. Sure enough, when the two went there, they were turned away. Once the old man got stubborn, no one could pull him back. Ella knocked on the door and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Can you open the door? I'm fine standing here, Xiao Qi is still pregnant!"

Shen Qi reached out to pull Ella, but Ella waved her hand and continued to say to the old man in the door, "Uncle, you saved me and my brother at all costs back then, and I knew you were a person who particularly liked children. Now Xiao Qi is pregnant, please feel sorry for the child."

Before she finished speaking, the door creaked open.

Shen Qi cast an admiring look at Ella. Auntie is indeed auntie, she knows how to talk!

The house was dark, and Ella helped Shen Qi in.

It took a while to get used to the light in the house.

Shen Qi looked up and saw that the windows were covered with curtains, so no light could get in.

Old man Lin Xu sat alone in a wheelchair, leaning against the wall, without saying a word.

Looking at his thin and lonely appearance, Shen Qi felt guilty.

If she had found Grandpa Lin earlier, would the result be different?

Ella took Shen Qi's hand over, pressed Shen Qi on the chair, and said to old man Lin Xu: "Uncle, we are not forcing you to make a decision. We just want to talk to you, okay?"

Lin Xu looked at Ella, then at Shen Qi, then at Shen Qi's belly. Without saying a word, he maneuvered the wheelchair to the side, pointed to the water glass on the table and said, "Pour it yourself."

Ella obediently poured two glasses of water, and then the old man Linxu showed a look of satisfaction.

Shen Qi's eyes moved, as if he had gotten something.

Shen Qi asked: "Grandpa Lin, in what year did you retire?"

Old Man Linxu thought for a long time before replying: "It's been a long time. It's been so long that I don't remember it anymore."

Shen Qi continued to ask: "When you retire, is there anything you want to do but have no time to do?"

Mr. Lin thought seriously for a moment, and a look of confusion flashed across his face, as if he had really thought about the past.

Mr. Lin kept thinking about it while Shen Qi and Ella waited quietly.

Waiting and waiting, until Shen Qi almost fell asleep, Mr. Lin finally spoke: "If I had left with her back then, wouldn't I have been a drag on others?"

Shen Qi and Ella looked at each other and said nothing.

After Mr. Lin finished saying these words, the expression on his face faded, and he once again regained his indifference and coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away: "Why do you ask this?"

Shen Qi smiled and replied: "Because I always think you are a hero, grandpa! As a hero, how can you leave so easily?"
