As soon as he heard Uncle Yu’s words, Zuo Yi turned to look sadly at Zuo Weiyi.
When he left the hospital last night, he really did not know whether Zuo Weiyi could accept or believe the truth about her past. Moreover, Zuo Yi did not know whether Zuo Weiyi intended to recognize or acknowledge him as her grandfather at all. As he thought about it, Zuo Yi could not help but feel a little nervous and flustered.
Zuo Yi raised his hand slightly as he looked at his granddaughter who was sitting up on the hospital bed. “Weiyi, is your wound still hurting?”
When Zuo Weiyi heard Zuo Yi’s words, she could not help but feel that his tone today was a little more cautious and imperceptible than before.
He was clearly the president of the country but to please and appease his own granddaughter, he was more than willing to speak to her in a humble manner. If she did not acknowledge him or accept his gesture, then wouldn’t she be pushing it?
Zuo Weiyi smiled slightly as she looked at Zuo Yi and said, “I am feeling much better today, Grandpa.”
Zuo Yi was stunned. He could not react at all when he heard the last word in her sentence. He was very excited and overjoyed. He had never felt this excited before in the past forty-one years, and he could not stop the tears from welling up in his eyes.
“Weiyi, what did you call me just now?” Ever since the first time he saw her, Zuo Yi had been hoping for the day she would finally be calling him her grandfather. He had been looking forward to this for several months, and his wish had finally come true.
Zuo Weiyi smiled slightly before she said, “Grandpa.”
“Oh! Okay, okay…” Zuo Yi could not stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks. He was overjoyed! He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes and felt an unspeakable joy that he had never felt before.
Shi Yuting had just arrived at the door when he witnessed this scene for himself. He did not say or do anything but he simply stood there calmly as he watched this scene unfold before him.
Uncle Yu who was standing at the side could not help but burst into tears because he was so happy and excited that both of them had finally recognized and acknowledged each other after so many years apart. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears off his face.
“Weiyi, when you recover, Grandpa will announce your identity and status to everyone in this country!” Zuo Yi especially wanted that old and stubborn man to see how his granddaughter could possibly not be worthy of his grandson!
However, Zuo Weiyi was filled with concern and worries when she heard Zuo Yi’s words.
Even though her grandfather had already registered his marriage with her grandmother many years ago, nobody knew about this matter at all.
In the eyes of the public, Zuo Weiyi was nothing more than an illegitimate child. If her grandfather really announced the fact that she was his granddaughter to everyone in the country, wouldn’t he be subjected to a lot of criticisms?
Zuo Weiyi could not help but feel a little worried as she thought about this.
She quickly raised her head to look at Zuo Yi as she asked, “Will this be alright?”
Zuo Yi immediately understood what she was worried about and he smiled slightly before he said, “Don’t worry. As long as your grandpa is around, there is nothing that you have to worry about.”
Even if it would cause a lot of controversy for himself, Zuo Yi would still announce and make Zuo Weiyi’s identity and status known to the public. He could never allow her to be wronged.
However, even though Zuo Yi was willing to do so, Zuo Weiyi did not want him to compromise his identity as the president of the country just because of her.
“Grandpa, to be honest, you don’t have to announce my existence to the people of the country. It is already enough for me that we have finally acknowledge each other.”
“Well, you are my most precious granddaughter! I naturally have to announce it to my people!”
“But…”
“You don’t have to worry about anything. Just leave everything to your grandpa, okay? You can rest assured that everything will go smoothly. All you have to do is to make sure that you take good care of your own body and health! Grandpa will personally come and pick you up from the hospital after you recover!”
Anyway, Zuo Yi still had less than half a year to abdicate his position as the president of Country C. By then, there was nothing else that he wanted other than for his granddaughter to stay by his side to accompany him.
As he thought about the feeling of finally being able to enjoy the happiness of having a family, Zuo Yi was filled with joy and expectations. He could not wait any longer as he quickly asked the dean of the hospital about Zuo Weiyi’s recovery and when she could finally be discharged from the hospital.
