Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Bear Mom (5)

"Who doesn’t make impulsive decisions when they’re young? It’s good to be impulsive, because of your impulsiveness, you even got yourself twins, hahaha." Old Master Su felt a bit better after hearing this. Like Mother Su, he had always been somewhat critical of the siblings Su Yanmo and Su Yanyi for being too aloof. Children should be mischievous and lively—that’s what makes them lovable.

Seeing her great-grandfather laugh, Su Yanyi also breathed a sigh of relief. She really disliked seeing her great-grandfather so melancholic; it made her feel stifled.

But even though Grandfather Su was laughing at that moment, the worries in his heart hadn’t really gone away. Having close friends for nearly sixty years creates a profound bond. Yet now, as his friends’ health was declining, how could he truly be happy? He had a restless night and, the following morning, he fell ill.

Even a minor illness in the elderly is cause for concern. When Old Master Su fell ill, the whole family became anxious. Those who were working skipped work, those who were studying skipped school, and even the babies drank one less bottle of milk.

"The old master’s illness is caused by pent-up concerns. I’ll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for him—it’s best to focus on recuperation for an elderly person with a frail body. However, if there are things on his mind, he needs to come to terms with them," said a very famous traditional Chinese doctor who had served the Su family for many years and enjoyed a prestigious reputation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine nationwide—he was truly a master of his craft, revered by many.

"Thank you, Elder Sun, we will take note," Father Su and Mother Su nodded earnestly, remembering the words of Doctor Sun.

Yet, what was this pent-up frustration all about? The old master had always been open-minded, and with everything going well for the Su family, there didn’t seem to be any bothersome issues—so why the frustration?

After seeing off Elder Sun, Father Su, Mother Su, and the others began pondering the root of the problem. After thinking for a moment, Su Yanyi said, "It must be something to do with one of Grandfather’s old friends. Something happened to them, and Grandfather is upset."

Thinking back to last night’s conversation, Su Yanyi felt a heavy heart. Birth, aging, sickness, and death... Her great-grandfather was already eighty years old. Although his body was still robust, if he couldn’t get past his mental struggles, it would affect his physical health too.

"Ah, it’s about Old Mr. Zhao, isn’t it? Uncle Zhao has late-stage gastric cancer. Grandfather went to see Uncle Zhao a few days ago and hasn’t been in good spirits since," Father Su recalled after being reminded.

Uncle Zhao, mentioned by Father Su, was also over eighty and didn’t reside in A City, but in neighboring S City. He was a businessman specializing in the garment industry with a net worth of several billion—a tycoon. But the illness struck like a sudden collapse. The phrase "late-stage gastric cancer" laid the old man low in an instant. Not long ago, Father Su accompanied Grandfather Su for a visit, and the situation was dire; the doctors had already issued two critical condition notices.

"Sigh, it’s psychological discomfort. Just last winter another old friend passed away, and now another one is about to leave. It’s wearing on Dad’s mind," Mother Su understood Old Master Su’s thoughts but didn’t know what to say to comfort him. What could she say about the inevitabilities of life and death?

For a time, the family could only sit in silence by Old Master Su’s side, waiting for him to awaken. Fortunately, this time there was no serious issue.

"Great-grandfather, you have to wake up soon. Nuonuo wants to play with Great-grandfather," little Su Nuo sat by Old Master Su’s bedside, looking worriedly at him and speaking. Her small hand held onto Old Master Su’s somewhat withered hand tightly, unwilling to let go. Children are the most sincere; they are good to those who treat them well. Old Master Su always liked to hold little Su Nuo, and their relationship was very close. They would often play together, and now, seeing Old Master Su lying unconscious, little Su Nuo’s eyes turned red.
