68 "I missed you Father!"

Health Care Hospital

The next full day, Lu Lan didn't wake up, even when the doctor came and saw Lu Lan was sleeping on the same bed with Si Li, he was dumbstruck.

Although, it was huge to his old heart, still, he had to do his duty. Therefore, he quickly checked Si Li's health and pretended that he didn't notice anyone except Si Li.

Even, Si Li didn't comment on anything which increased awkwardness and therefore, he fully co-operated with the doctor for his quick checkup.

Soon, Little Champ came to the hospital and saw Lu Lan and Si Li together. He frowned his brow.

Si Li thought, might be Lu Lan was with him that was why Little Champ seemed to be upset.

Little Champ came forward and started writing something on his tablet and showed it to his father.

'You only momma and not me'

Si Li was dumbstruck and he quickly bent down and patted his head "Who told you this?"

Again, Little Champ wrote something and showed it to his father.

'Then why momma is sleeping beside you and not me'

Si Li was frozen as if he had read something wrong. Little Champ was unhappy only because his father allowed Lu Lan to sleep beside him and not him. 

Again, Little Champ wrote something and showed it to his father.

'I missed you father!'

Again, Si Li's body became rigid, why were people saying something for which he wasn't prepared?

But soon, Si Li quickly came back into his senses, unlike earlier when Lu Lan confessed her love for him and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I missed you too" Si Li softly said and hugged him.

After playing with his father for some time, Little Champ fell asleep beside Lu Lan. As a result, Si Li had to call for a new bed in his room.

No one could say that Si Li was a patient and the other two were the visitors.

Soon, Elder Si came to the hospital. When he had seen Si Li on the hospital bed, Elder Si was feeling guilty and his body couldn't take it, therefore he had fainted. So the doctor suggested him to rest at home, that was the reason Si Yan told him this morning about Si Li instead of last night.

When Elder Si came inside the Si Li's room, he was startled, when he saw a family of three was sleeping peacefully. Little Champ was sleeping in the middle of Lu Lan and Si Li. This scene brought tears in his eyes as if his guilt was aroused again.

Elder Si didn't want to wake them up because of the sound of his sobs, so he covered his mouth and was about to leave the room. However, suddenly a man's voice stopped him.

"It's not good for your health to cry at this old age".

He was already awake, but seeing two sleeping beauty beside him, he felt too lazy to open his eyes. Then, someone came inside the room and with the sound of footsteps and cane, Si Li understood it was Elder Si.

Si Li was about to open his eyes earlier, but when he heard sobs sound, so he decided against it and stayed still and decided to see what old man wanted to do, but he didn't do anything and turned to leave in the fear of awaking the family of three.

However, Si Li stopped him and unhurriedly opened his eyes.

"You Rascal, who are you calling 'OLD'?" Elder Si shot him an unpleasant look.

Although he wanted to shout at his ungrateful grandson, but seeing his FAVOURITE two persons, he decided against it.

Si Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Since he woke up, people around him had been doing something strange.

First Lu 's love confession, second Little Champ's concern towards him and now seeing his grandfather crying, which never happened in his grandfather's lifetime. Even, when Si Li's father died, still a single drop of tear didn't fall from his eyes.

Afterwards, both grandfather and grandson left the room and went to the balcony, so that the mother-son pair didn't get disturbed. Even, Si Li's absence had affected many people, but the people who were affected the most were Lu Lan and Little Champ.

"I want you to end these things. This Old man can't take it anymore" Elder Si said without looking at Si Li.

"You made a good decision," Si Li said.

"However, It's not as easy as you think" Elder Si warned him.

"It's not difficult either way" Si Li replied calmly.

"Then I will leave it to you. I am leaving and take care of you and your family".

"Sure".

Both grandfather and grandson reached the decision with a few simple words and even without looking at each other.
