The incident happened so suddenly that Jiang Momo hadn't yet recovered from the shock.

Grandma wouldn't let her hold her hand?

She refused to believe it and wanted to try again.

This time, before Jiang Momo could even touch her grandmother, the elderly woman, who had regained consciousness, once again avoided her touch.

"grandmother?"

Jiang Momo stood there dumbfounded.

Why is this happening?

Why is Grandma avoiding her?

Could it be that Grandma is disliking her?

Countless thoughts popped into Jiang Momo's mind, and Wen Shiyi, seeing this, quickly smoothed things over.

"The patient just woke up from the ICU and might still be a little dazed. Let's chat more when you get back to the ward."

After he finished speaking, he asked the nurse to lead Jiang Momo and her grandmother to the ward.

Jiang Momo was very uneasy the whole way.

She was deep in thought, wondering if she had done something wrong that had upset her grandmother.

It's because I wasn't able to be by my grandmother's side when she was sick.

Suddenly, Jiang Momo remembered what Wen Shiyi had said to her yesterday, and she made a decision.

Her heart suddenly clenched with pain, so intense that she could barely breathe.

I stood at the door of the ward for a long time before going back in.

In the room, the old man lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He heard Jiang Momo go inside, but didn't look up.

In the past, even if Grandma was feeling unwell, she would definitely have tried her best to lift her head and put on a smile to greet her.

Then he called out to her:

"So it's my dear Momo who's here."

Jiang Momo bit her lower lip, walked to the bedside, poured water for her grandmother, scooped it up, blew on it to cool it down, and then held it to her grandmother's lips.

All the movements were fluid and seamless, performed in one go.

But only Jiang Momo herself knew how sad she was.

"Grandma, have some."

The old man turned his head away and didn't say a word to his granddaughter from beginning to end.

Jiang Momo continued feeding him water, but tears streamed down her face.

It hit the old man's aged, wrinkled, and veiny hands.

The latter was indeed moved, but still managed to resist looking at her.

"grandmother."

Jiang Momo's voice was hoarse.

"Did you hear something from someone else, and that's why you want to distance yourself from me?"

"What did they say to you? They said about me..."

"No!"

Seeing that Jiang Momo was about to start belittling herself, her grandmother finally couldn't help but interrupt her.

"You're not allowed to talk about yourself like that."

Jiang Momo looked up, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace. She took her grandmother's hand and pressed it against her face.

"Grandma, you're finally willing to talk to me."

"Are you ignoring me because you're afraid of implicating me and want me to stop saving you in the future?"

She remembered that Wen Shiyi had said that the patients had a very low will to live.

Combined with her grandmother's inexplicable neglect of her.

Jiang Momo was very smart and figured out the reason almost instantly.

And that's exactly what she can't accept.

Grandma didn't answer, but tears welled up in her already cloudy eyes, confirming all of Jiang Momo's thoughts.

You can't do this.

She could no longer hold back her sobs.

"Grandma, you are the only family I have left in this world. You are all I have."

"If even you leave me, then no one will want me anymore."

"From now on, everyone can bully me. They'll say I'm a child no one cares about."

Just like when I was a child.

Back then, Grandma lived in a slum with Jiang Momo.

Although she has always claimed to the public that Jiang Momo is her own granddaughter, there are still some people who know the inside story who spread rumors behind her back.

They say Jiang Momo is a cursed star, bringing death to her parents, which is why she was abandoned in the countryside.

They called her an orphan, said no one wanted her.

In the past, whenever this happened, Grandma would pick up the old broom and chase away all the thugs following Jiang Momo.

He then launched into a tirade of curses, or rather, took Jiang Momo door-to-door demanding justice.

Over time, her reputation worsened, and she became known as the old witch among the children.

After doing all this, Grandma would hold Jiang Momo in her arms that evening, patting her back and gently coaxing her while saying:

"Grandma's dear Momo, don't listen to their nonsense."

"You are Grandma's angel, and Grandma's most beloved child. No matter whether others want you or not, Grandma will want you and raise you to adulthood."

Suddenly snapping back to reality, Jiang Momo bit her lip, and because she bit too hard, she tasted a slightly metallic sweetness.

Looking at her grandmother, her vision was already blurred with tears.

"Grandma, do you really not want me anymore?"

The elderly woman couldn't bear to see her granddaughter crying like this; the words "a child no one wants" were deeply etched into her heart.

Grandma reached out and hugged Jiang Momo, just like she did when she was a child.

"Momo, it's Grandma's fault. Grandma will never say those things again."

"Don't cry, Grandma will take care of you."

She admitted that when she first woke up, her first thought was why she wasn't dead yet.

That night, lying in the ICU, Grandma thought, how wonderful it would be if I could just die like that.

I won't drag Momo down with me anymore.

Her granddaughter shouldn't be a burden to her, an old woman; she should have a better life.

So that night, she thought a lot.

The final decision was to ignore Jiang Momo after she came out, or even speak ill of her, hoping that this would make her give up on saving her.

Even if I die, even if Momo suffers a lot during this time, at least I won't be a burden to her for another year or two, or even another four or five years.

She's been dragging Jiang Momo along for a long time.

Grandma had made up her mind, but... at this moment, she realized...

She can't.

The grandmother's heart broke the moment she heard her granddaughter crying.

"Then please don't say things like that anymore. Please don't ignore me, okay?"

Jiang Momo nestled in her grandmother's arms, feeling the warmth of her body.

"it is good."

Rough hands stroked Jiang Momo's long hair, feeling a slight tingling sensation.

Even though she knew her granddaughter would be angry, the grandmother still decided to express her thoughts.

We always have to face it.

"Momo, Grandma has something she wants to tell you."

"I'm getting old. There will always be a day like this, next time..."

She wanted Momo to stop going to so much trouble to save her.

That's a waste of money.

Realizing what her grandmother was going to say, Jiang Momo didn't want to face it, so she made an excuse to change the subject.

"Grandma, I have to go out for a bit. Wait for me here."

After she finished speaking, she stormed out of the door.

Grandma was left alone in the ward, watching her departing figure, even sighing was so difficult.

Jiang Momo left the room, walked into the stairwell, opened the window, and felt the breeze outside.

The damp, humid wind hitting my face indicated an impending downpour.

She leaned against the wall and wiped away the tears in her eyes.

Just as she was trying to calm herself down and go back to take care of her grandmother, her phone, which was in her bag, suddenly started vibrating violently.
