Chapter 42: Nan Xi Collapses, Terminal Liver Cancer

"Quickly, quickly go to the hospital, Uncle Zhou said that grandpa fainted and is being resuscitated." Nan Xi was completely trembling as she finished the sentence.

Grandpa was already that old, and his health was already not good.

She couldn't imagine if grandpa would still be able to come out properly once he was in the emergency room.

She was afraid.

Too afraid.

However, when they arrived at the traffic light, Nan Xi realized that Lu Jian Shen hadn't even made a turn.

"Going to the hospital, Lu Jian Shen, where are you going?" Nan Xi was enraged on the spot.

She was so angry that her face turned pale.

Lu Jianxuan held his hands on the steering wheel, still calm and collected.

Compared to Nanxi's panic and nervousness, he didn't seem to be affected at all and remained calm.

"Nanxi, don't be anxious for now, with my understanding of grandpa, he probably isn't sick."

"When I was little, grandpa also often used the trick of being sick to trick me, I fell for it many times, grandpa probably didn't want us to get divorced, so he used being sick to trick us into going back."

Lu Jian Shen thought that after he said this, Nan Xi would be much more at ease, or at least calmer.

However, it was completely unexpected.

Nan Xi glared at him very angrily, and the voice that exited her mouth was even angrier, "Lu Jian Shen, what do you mean?"

"I don't care if you've been tricked by grandpa or not, and I don't care what kind of guesses you've made, even if grandpa is faking his illness, I'm going to rush to the hospital right away, right away, and rush to his side."

"You turn around and go to the hospital right now."

She couldn't afford any more assumptions in her life.

Grandpa was already in poor health, and when she visited him today she felt that he was very tired and much older.

In case it was true, she simply couldn't dare to imagine.

Therefore, she would not allow any eventuality to happen to her grandfather.

Even if it was fake, even if grandpa was lying to her, she was willing.

However, she had to personally go and confirm that Grandpa was healthy.

When she arrived at the hospital, Nan Xi rushed straight up.

When she saw the light on in the emergency room, she instantly weakened and almost slid down the wall.

"Dad, mom, how is grandpa?" Nan Xi's voice, trembled beyond recognition.

For some reason, she had a very bad premonition in her heart.

Moreover, she had a strong feeling that she seemed to be losing something again.

Seeing Yun Shu and Lu Mingbo both outside the emergency room and with heavy faces, Lu Jian Shen knew that this time, things were not simple.

"How did Grandpa suddenly end up in the emergency room?"

Lu Jian Shen looked at the red letters that were lit up, and a heart hung in the air.

Lu Mingbo stood to the side, his eyes were red and bloodshot, like he had aged a lot in an instant.

"Mom, say it, are you guys hiding something from us?" Lu Jian Shen keenly sensed something.

Yun Shu tilted her head and opened her mouth in a low voice: "It's come to this, mom just can't hide it even if she wants to, and besides, it's time for you guys to know."

"Grandpa's illness, in fact, never got better, he had advanced liver cancer, a month ago, the doctor had already issued a critical notice, saying that Grandpa"

Speaking at the back, Yun Shu's voice trembled, and she could no longer speak at all.

Lu Mingbo came over to support her, and continued, "That's why grandpa advanced his eightieth birthday, he was afraid he wouldn't make it to that day, he just didn't want to leave any regrets."

"As for you guys, he blocked the news and didn't let anyone tell you."

Nan Xi cried with tears streaming down her face as she leaned into Lu Jian Shen's arms, her whole body trembling because of her grief.

If it wasn't for the eunuch himself speaking up and telling her this, how could she not want to believe it?

How could that gray-haired, warm and kind grandfather who loved her and adored her have liver cancer?

And by the time she found out, it was already in an advanced stage.

Why?

Why did she only find out now.

"No," Lu Jian Shen shook his head, he looked at Lu Ming Bo with red eyes, "I don't believe it, you guys lied to me."

"Ever since I was little, grandpa has always liked to lie to me with being sick so that I would be obedient, it's the same this time right? I know, he doesn't want me and Nanxi to divorce, I promise him that as long as he gets better, I won't divorce, I will be good with Nanxi for the rest of my life."

"I listen to him, I listen to him in everything."

Lu Mingbo knew that they couldn't accept it for a while, but what he said was true.

"See deep, Xixi, dad didn't lie to you, all of this is true, if you don't believe me, you can go to the doctor to check the medical records, three months ago, grandpa found out that he had advanced liver cancer."

Lu Jian Shen's scarlet eyes, his cold sharp eyes looked at Lu Ming Bo and questioned, "Three months ago? If you knew about it already, why didn't you tell us? Why did you hide it from us?"

"Lu Mingbo." Lu Jian Shen shouted out his name in a violent rage in front of him.

"Lu Mingbo, he's my grandfather, he's your father, if you knew, why did you hide it from me? Why?" Lu Mingshen growled, he was so angry that veins popped out on his face.

"I know, you harbor resentment towards grandpa, you hate him for separating you and that woman, you hate him for not letting that bastard in the door, but he's your father, how can you be so cruel, do you have any humanity left?"

Lu Jian Shen already hated this father.

So much so, the more he hated it.

He reached out, yanked Lu Mingbo's collar, and his fist almost swung up.

It was Yun Shu who rushed over and grabbed Lu Jian Shen's hand, explaining with red eyes, "Jian Shen, I know that you hate your dad, but he really isn't to blame for this."

"Grandpa wouldn't let us tell you guys, otherwise he wouldn't accept the treatment."

"We had no choice but to hide it from you guys."

Yun Shu finished speaking and tears flowed down her face.

Nan Xi also cried tears.

"Since we've already treated him, why is he still like this?" Lu Jianxuan asked feebly.

"Grandpa is already old, and who can escape from advanced liver cancer? The so-called treatment is just to alleviate some pain and slightly prolong life, do you think it can still be cured?"

Although, everyone could not accept this fact.

However, this was the cruel truth.

Lu Jian Shen crouched on the ground disheveledly, holding his head and staring at the ground in death.

Nan Xi knew that he was sad in his heart, sad that he actually thought that Grandpa was joking this time as well, sad that he misunderstood Grandpa.

She walked over and held Lu Jian Shen's head in her arms, gently comforting, "Grandpa won't blame you, you know? In fact, I especially hope that what you said in the car is true."

"I so wish Grandpa lied to me, I wish it was all a lie."

"I hope that when I wake up after a good night's sleep, grandpa will still affectionately call me girl."

"Even if grandpa raises his cane again, to beat you ten times, twenty times, chasing you around, I won't go to get in the way, I'd rather you be beaten by grandpa all over your body."

Nan Xi said, tears falling madly.

"I'm willing too." Lu Jianxuan said.

Nan Xi nodded her head, the tears in her eyes becoming more and more ferocious.
