Wen Xinya had never felt that time was so difficult to bear, every minute and every second seemed to be intentionally stretched infinitely long. A short 20-minute drive felt like suffering to her, she felt as she was going from north to south.
It felt like time kept pounding on her heart as her mind filled with thoughts.
In her previous life, her Grampy’s death was a huge shock to her. The pain she felt, her guilt towards Grampy, her despair from the death of her loved one, the regret from her desire and her inability to support her senior, her self-blame. Little by little these all destroyed her willpower.
Her drug addiction worsened during that time.
The Wen family, who had treated her coldly, changed their attitude towards her completely. Ning Shuqian, who used to speak with honey dripping down her mouth, finally showed her hypocrisy. Although Wen Yuya was arrogant and proud, she was still kind of good. But she, too, completely tore off her own mask, showing her contempt.
All of this made her realize how ridiculously wrong she had been.
She mistrusted an outsider and hurt her Grampy, causing her to be isolated till death.
She realized very clearly that she killed her Grampy!
So she was willing to accept her fall.
Even after meeting an internationally renowned drug treatment expert, she was unable to quit her drug addiction.
After she reincarnated, she just wanted to be an obedient granddaughter and accompany her Grampy, showing her filial piety, so that her Grampy could avoid the sad and desolate end in her previous life. She wanted to make up for his loss and hoped that Grampy could make it to a hundred years old.
Therefore, she paid great attention to her Grampy’s body. She deliberately learned pharmacology from Du Shinan and used the medicated diet to nurse her Grampy’s health. Grampy’s poor health had improved a lot after years of treatment.
She never expected this sudden event to unfold on Old Mr. Mo.
“Xinya, we’re here!” Xu Zhenyu parked the car on the side of the road.
Xinya’s hand moved faster than her brain could react. As soon as the car stopped, she had pushed the car door open and got out of the car, running towards the hospital.
Xu Zhenyu parked into the parking slot and quickly chased up to her.
Wen Xinya rushed to the operating room. Uncle Zhang, Mother He, and Mother Jiang were all waiting in front of the emergency room.
Wen Xinya rushed over to Uncle Zhang, grabbing Uncle Zhang’s hand and asking anxiously, “Uncle Zhang, how is my Grampy? What did the doctor say?”
Uncle Zhang’s face was pale gray and his lips were pursed. “The doctor said that it was an acute sudden myocardial infarction, which caused a heart rupture, resulting in cardiogenic shock. The situation is very critical and he is currently being rescued.”
Uncle Zhang thought back to when he was sending the old man to the hospital. The old man did not know if he would be able to go back or what was going on. He took his hand and said urgently, “Take… take care… take care of… Xin… for me…”
Before he could even complete the sentence, he lost consciousness.
Wen Xinya’s eyes widened in horror. She took a step backward suddenly and screamed, “How is this possible!”
It was the exact same illness that caused Grampy’s death in the past life.
Sudden myocardial infarction was inherently extremely dangerous because the disease had been lurking in the body and there was no way to diagnose it. Naturally, there was no way to prevent it. Grampy from the previous life died because of this.
Ventricular septal rupture and perforation leading to a loud systolic murmur in the fourth intercostal space on the left margin of the sternum were often accompanied by tremors, and these could cause heart failure and rapid death. This was also extremely painful until death.
Wen Xinya screamed, “Impossible!”
Because she knew the cause of Grampy’s death from her past life, she knew how weak his heart was. So, for many years, she had been taking care of her Grampy’s heart. When she was abducted a few years ago, Grampy had an outbreak of colic. She begged Grandpa Du to treat Grampy in a targeted manner and the gas had been adjusted, the results were extremely significant.
Over these past years, Grampy had never had any more heart problems.
She also took her Grampy to the hospital for a heart examination recently, done by an authoritative expert in cardiology, but no problems were detected.
How could Grampy be suddenly infected with myocardial infarction just like in the past life, causing his heart to rupture and die?
Wen Xinya’s pupils could not stop contracting, and her face paled.
Mother He’s eyes were red from crying. “Xinya, this is true. Fortunately, it was discovered in a short period of time. When I took the old man to the hospital, he was still breathing.”
She thought of the old man’s blue-purple face and his weak breathing, and Mother He felt heartbroken.
“Impossible… impossible…” There was a roaring and buzzing sound in Wen Xinya’s ear, as her eyes lost focus.
Mother Jiang stepped forward and hugged Wen Xinya, noticing that her body was cold. “Xinya, the doctor is performing the operation on the old man now. He will be fine.”
She saw her fragile appearance for the first time ever since this child had returned to the Wen family.
These old servants could see how much this child, Xinya, relied on her Grampy.
Wen Xinya’s eyes were dry, her nose sore, and her throat uncomfortable. “Grampy… Isn’t his health good? Why suddenly… just…”
She could not complete her sentences as she choked on her words.
Uncle Zhang said, “We don’t know what’s going on. He was clearly okay in the morning. How would we know that all of a sudden… we called an ambulance right away. Mother He cut a slice of wild ginseng that was given by Ninth Si and put it under the old man’s tongue. He stayed like that until the ambulance came over.”
For so many years, under the arrangement of the Little Missus’ recipe, the old man had gradually become accustomed to drinking ginseng tea. When Mother He gave the ginseng tea to him, he leaned on the sofa with his hand clutching his heart in pain, scaring them.
Mother He lowered her head and said, “There were clearly no signs before…”
All of them were stunned, wondering what had happened.
Mother Jiang also started crying. “Recently, the old man’s routine has been pretty regular, his diet was normal, and there were no other problems with his body. Why suddenly…”
Tears kept flowing from Wen Xinya’s eyes. Because of Grampy’s death in her previous life, she had a deeper understanding of his cause of death previously. She knew too clearly how terrible such a disease was, with more than 95% being sudden deaths, and more than 4% died during the rescue. There was only a 1% survival rate.
“What about any stimulus? Was Grampy violently triggered before this?” Wen Xinya remembered, most incidences of myocardial infarction were induced by intense emotional changes such as excitement, tension, and anger.
She did not believe that the Grampy would just suddenly fall ill without a reason.
There must be a reason.
Uncle Zhang thought for a moment and shook his head. “Never before!”
Knowing that the old man’s health was a little weak, the Little Missy had also always instructed them to pay attention to the old man’s life routines, diet, and emotional changes. If he went through a mood swing, they would definitely notice.
