Chapter 641
Zhou Shuwan stood there, watching his departing back, feeling a pang of pain in her heart.
She knew that Qi Mingyu needed time to digest the bad news. She didn't dare to disturb him and could only watch him from afar, silently praying that he could get through this moment.
Qi Mingyu wore a mask and came to the outside of the hospital. He sat on a rock, and the report in his hand was gently fluttered by the sea breeze.
The fog was so thick that the report paper quickly became wet.
His gaze fell on the sea in the distance, his eyes empty and confused.
He knew that his grandmother's biggest regret was that he had not reconciled with her only son, Qi Zhenmin, before the earthquake.
From his perspective, he had countless reasons to sever ties with Qi Zhenmin and not care about his life or death.
Therefore, before the earthquake, he was determined not to help because the other person's life or death did not matter to him.
However, from Grandma Pang’s perspective, no matter what, he was her only son and her most beloved grandson, and the two of them never reconciled in their lives. She may never be able to let it go in her heart!
Qi Mingyu is a man of strong will. He has never regretted his decision, but at this moment, his heart seemed to be torn apart and the pain was unbearable.
He thought, even if it was just to appease his grandmother, what would be wrong with him pretending to reconcile with Qi Zhenmin temporarily?
Why should he ignore his grandmother's feelings for his own sake?
When he learned that the end of the world was approaching, he decided to retire from the army. There was only one reason for this, and that was his grandmother.
He must protect his grandmother so that she can survive safely in the apocalypse.
Later, Wanwan was added to the group of people being protected, and because of her, Zhou's parents and Mumu also joined.
But now, this mistake can no longer be made up for.
That great earthquake claimed the lives of so many people!
Including that selfish Qi Zhenmin and his family!
He had thought of several strategies at the time, forcing Du Qin to confess her wrongdoings in person so that Qi Zhenmin could see her true face!
But now that death is like the extinguishing of a light, he has let go of all these things completely.
After a long, long time, when the fog had soaked his clothes, he finally stood up with a look of determination in his eyes.
He went to the medical department on the mother ship again.
At this time, the other members of the Zhou family already knew about this and found it hard to accept.
When they saw Qi Mingyu come in, they all looked at him, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
After so many years of getting along, they have become as close as a family.
They all felt reluctant to part with Grandma Pang, but they also knew that the one among them who was the saddest and most unwilling to accept it was Qi Mingyu!
Qi Mingyu, however, seemed to have calmed down. He looked at everyone and said in a low, calm voice, "You all know about Grandma's illness. I hope that everyone won't tell her the truth and will do their best to let her live happily and without regrets in her final days."
Zhong Tiyun's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Zhou Jianghai opened his mouth silently, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but he felt that no matter what he said, it would be too empty and too pale and powerless, so he had to shut up again.
When Mu Mu was little, the adults were busy going out to look for supplies, and it was Grandma Pang who looked after him at home.
So Mu Mu and Grandma Pang have a very good relationship.
He had been crying secretly for a while, and now he couldn't hold it back anymore. He walked up to Qi Mingyu with tears on his face and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brother-in-law!"
Qi Mingyu patted his shoulder gently.
He couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.
Zhou Shuwan walked over and held his hand tightly.
There were tears in her eyes, and she looked at him with sorrow and pity.
"Please do as I say!" Qi Mingyu looked at their reactions and felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but he still made a solemn request.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, saying that they would do as Qi Mingyu said.
Qi Mingyu tried hard to calm his emotions and turned to walk towards the ward where Grandma Pang was.
She was too weak and needed separate care, so she was not staying in the same ward as Zhong Tiyun, Mu Mu and others.
Zhou Shuwan stood aside, watching Qi Mingyu's back, feeling complicated.
She knew that Qi Mingyu had made the most difficult decision, and all she could do was to continue to participate in the research on the extract of the genus Cineraria, hoping to improve the medicine so that frail patients like Grandma Pang could receive better treatment.
In the following days, Zhou Shuwan spent almost all his time in the laboratory, only visiting Grandma Pang on time in the morning and evening.
The instruments in the laboratory are running non-stop and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant.
She was working at her desk with a frown on her face. The extract of the life-saving vine in the test tube in her hand glowed a faint green under the light.
Her eyes were focused and determined, as if she placed all her hopes in this small test tube.
Half a month later, the improved formula was finally completed.
Zhou Shuwan rubbed her red eyes and thought dully in her heart that this was already the limit and she had done everything she could.
At the same time, in Grandma Pang's ward, Qi Mingyu was recalling his childhood with Grandma Pang in a gentle voice.
Grandma Pang lay weakly on the bed, breathing faintly, but there was a peaceful smile on her face, as if she was immersed in beautiful memories.
"Grandma, do you still remember when you took me to the mountains to pick wild fruits when I was a child? The wild strawberries on the mountain were sour and sweet..." Qi Mingyu's voice was gentle and low.
Grandma Pang smiled and said, "Remember, our home wasn't near the mountains, and transportation wasn't convenient back then. You were so happy every time we finally got a ride to the mountains! It was like Chinese New Year! When you were little, you were full of energy, and grandma would often follow you around, calling your name..."
At that time, she still had the strength to follow her eldest grandson, carefully taking care of him and loving him.
But now, even if no one talks about it, Grandma Pang can still feel her health slowly deteriorating, and her energy is also getting weaker day by day...
She knew in her heart that the days when she could chat about family matters with her eldest grandson like this would be numbered!
So, she enjoyed this time very much.
Qi Mingyu's voice suddenly became tense, and he whispered, "After I joined the army, I often thought of the time when we went to the mountains together as children! Grandma, when you get better, let's go again, okay?"
"Okay! But this time, grandma can't walk anymore, so I can only watch you go..."
Qi Mingyu smiled and held her old hand. Due to too many IV drips, the back of her hand was already covered with bruises and needle marks. "Grandma, your grandson is already this big. If you can't walk, I will carry you! Although there is no mainland now, there is a small mountain on this island. We can go up and take a walk!"
"Okay!" Grandma Pang answered decisively, but her voice was weak.
