Chapter 332: Chapter 332

Mr. Leng Sr. looked at the two of them, smiled weakly, and spoke openly: "Don’t be sad! Don’t be upset! Everyone faces this day eventually. I’ve lived long enough, eighty years—I’m content! Mochen, don’t worry, Grandpa has arranged everything!"

His life had been full of ups and downs, rises and falls. If you really looked back, he hadn’t lost out. But to say he had no regrets—that was impossible.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, just the recent—Mohao, that ungrateful grandson. Now, he didn’t even bother bringing him up; his focus was entirely on Mochen. This child had grown up beside him, survived unimaginable hardships, and still wasn’t in great health. His biggest regret was not living to see Mochen’s child before he passed away.

This was the greatest regret of his life! But so be it—life rarely goes the way we wish, disappointments outnumber joys, and how often do we truly achieve what we want?

Li Si turned away, unable to bear it. Her eyes were red, and she didn’t dare let Mr. Leng Sr. see.

Leng Mochen sat beside the hospital bed, holding the old man’s hand, "Grandpa, don’t talk ! You’re going to get better! I have good news to share—Sisi is pregnant! Don’t you want to see your great-grandchild born?"

He knew that saying anything else to comfort him wouldn’t work at this point. Only this piece of news could immediately lift the old man’s spirits.

Sometimes, even with cancer, if a person has the will to fight and live, it can make all the difference. Mr. Leng Sr.’s condition stemmed from accumulated distress and resignation—a kind of self-abandonment.

The old man’s eyes immediately lit up with joy as he swept his gaze toward Li Si’s belly. "Really?" These two kids wouldn’t just make up a lie to cheer him up, would they?

Li Si nodded with a smile, "It’s true, Grandpa! It’s been over two months already! Haven’t you noticed I’ve lost weight? The morning sickness is tough!"

The old man got so excited that he began coughing intensely. Now, he didn’t want to die. No matter what, he had to live to see Mochen’s child before he closed his eyes.

Leng Mochen carefully lifted the elder and patted his back to help him feel more comfortable. Li Si gave him a questioning look, and Mochen responded with a slight nod.

Li Si quickly took the opportunity to step out while the grandfather and grandson were chatting. She hurried to the living room, grabbed a cup, filled it halfway with hot water from a water dispenser, and then mixed in a small amount of water from their spatial source. She checked the temperature—it was a little too hot.

She wasn’t sure if this would affect its efficacy, but she could only dare to use a very small amount to try. She couldn’t risk making it obvious—if Mr. Leng Sr.’s condition dramatically improved shortly after the doctors declared him critically ill, how would they explain it?

Moreover, given his advanced age, the spatial water’s detoxifying effects might be too potent. If his body couldn’t handle it, it could worsen his condition instead of helping.

Thus, she only dared to add a tiny bit. If she missed the chance to save someone’s life when she had the means, her conscience wouldn’t be at peace for the rest of her life.

Li Si carried the cup back, gently blowing on it as she walked to Mr. Leng Sr.’s bedside. "Grandpa, you must be thirsty. Have some water!"

The old man gazed at Li Si with affection, thinking to himself how sensible this young woman was.

"Good! Good! Mochen, you must cherish Li Si! Do you hear me? By the way, now that she’s pregnant, when are you planning to hold the wedding?"

Perhaps from seeing the people he cared about most, the old man felt a newfound comfort throughout his body. Just then, he happened to feel thirsty, and after drinking the warm water, he felt a pleasant warmth flowing through him. He ended up finishing the whole cup.

Afterward, he even craved more. For days, he’d been without appetite, but drinking this water felt oddly sweet and satisfying.

"We’re already registered, but we’re planning to hold the wedding later!" Leng Mochen said as he took hold of Li Si’s hand with a smile.

"Good! I support it!" The old man saw their loving gaze toward each other and felt immense contentment. To him, ceremonies like weddings were mere formalities—what truly mattered was whether their hearts were united.

Mr. Leng Sr. seemed uncharacteristically energetic today. He chatted with Mochen for a while longer and reminded Li Si to be extra careful during her pregnancy, advising her against staying in the hospital environment for too long as it wasn’t good for the child.

Finally, the old man firmly insisted they leave the room.

Mrs. Leng saw the two of them step out and immediately stood up to ask, "How is your Grandpa doing?"

The old man had always favored Mochen most, so she figured he must feel joyful after seeing him.

"He’s alright! Grandpa asked you all to go in!" Leng Mochen scanned the room and didn’t spot Leng Qianhan and his wife, likely busy with something else, so he shared the old man’s instructions with Mrs. Leng.

"Oh! He wants all of us in there? They’re probably still speaking with the attending physician. I’ll head in to check on him first!"

Li Si watched her push the door and head into the hospital room, let out a sigh of relief, and muttered softly, "I hope he gets better!"

"He will!" Leng Mochen smiled, lightly flicking her nose, and took her hand. "Let’s go home and rest. Aren’t you tired?"

Li Si shook her head, "I’m not tired!"

She was still curious to see if the old man’s condition would improve.

"You may not be tired, but the baby is. Don’t forget this is a hospital filled with germs. Let’s go home and rest, then come back later!" Leng Mochen was firm about this. It was no trivial matter—catching an infection during pregnancy could mean avoiding medication and enduring a difficult recovery.

Li Si thought about it and agreed. At the very least, she could shower and change into fresh clothes at home. Without delay, the two left the hospital and returned home.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Mr. Leng Sr. seemed almost like he was experiencing a miraculous revival. He instructed his second daughter-in-law about Li Si’s pregnancy, urging her to take great care of her.

"Prepare plenty of nourishing soups for Li Si to drink. She has no parents, so look out for her attentively! Don’t let any foolish mistakes hurt these two children."

This delighted Mrs. Leng to no end. She kept mumbling about making sure Li Si would be well-nourished. No wonder she appeared slimmer when Mrs. Leng had seen her earlier.

At that moment, Leng Qiankai returned alongside Leng Qianhan and his wife from their consultation with the attending physician. Mrs. Leng gleefully shared the news, and Qiankai was overjoyed.

Finally, the knot in their hearts eased somewhat.

Even if there had been past grievances between them and Li Si, it no longer mattered—they were finally going to welcome a grandchild!

Zeng Qiuping awkwardly extended her congratulations, and Mrs. Leng replied with a perfunctory "thank you."

Since they were in Mr. Leng Sr.’s presence, they had no choice but to maintain a polite front. Were it not for that, Mrs. Leng would most certainly have seized the opportunity to verbally spar with Zeng Qiuping.

Just a few days ago, she and Qiankai had returned from abroad only to hear the news about John being sent to her eldest son’s household.

What did that mean? Wasn’t that clearly making a mockery of her family?

That child was evidently Mohao’s biological son, yet they had the audacity to collude with outsiders to deceive the elders—who would stoop so low?

Clearly, they thought they’d be easy to bully!

But now, everything was alright—she finally had her grandchild! She could finally hold her head high.

After all this, everyone noticed that Mr. Leng Sr. seemed extraordinarily spirited today. Feeling both hopeful and apprehensive, they called for the attending physician to do another quick check-up. The doctor was delighted—the elder’s mood had drastically improved, which directly influenced his health.

Mr. Leng Sr.’s face was glowing, his eyes sparkling with life—this was an excellent sign!

The doctor reminded the family to ensure the elder remained cheerful and encouraged them to give him something to inspire and anchor him.

Mrs. Leng was elated. If something were to happen to the elder, she would feel deeply remorseful. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel-fire.ɴet

From the look of things, it seemed that seeing Mochen, combined with the news of Li Si’s pregnancy and the prospect of meeting his great-grandchild, provided the strongest motivation he could possibly have.

Zeng Qiuping lowered her head and silently rolled her eyes. Why did all the good fortune have to end up with her younger brother-in-law’s family? (To be continued.
