Chapter 397: Chapter 397

The doctor nodded and began to push the great-grandfather towards the operating room, with Ling Momo following alongside the moving bed, her gaze fixed tightly on her great-grandfather.

Her eyes didn’t even blink, afraid that if she wasn’t careful, her great-grandfather would disappear completely from her life.

Ling Momo clutched her great-grandfather’s hand tightly, those hands were rough and aged, yet they had a warmth that could seep into the depths of her heart.

The moving bed was pushed all the way to the door of the operating room, where a nurse spoke softly as a reminder, "Miss, you can’t go in, please wait outside the operating room."

Ling Momo nodded, lifting her tearful eyes pitifully to look at the great-grandfather’s chief surgeon, her voice trembling with a plea, "Doctor, my great-grandfather’s operation will definitely be a success, won’t it?"

"We will do our best," the doctor lifted his hand, patting Ling Momo’s shoulder and giving her a reassuring smile.

Ling Momo’s lips instantly turned pale and lifeless; she knew what it meant for her great-grandfather to enter that operating room—if the operation failed, he would leave her forever...

If they were lucky, her great-grandfather would come out and glance at her before closing his eyes... If not, she and her great-grandfather would be utterly parted by life and death at this very moment...

A sour feeling suddenly erupted from the depths of Ling Momo’s heart, and the tears she had held back once again rolled down. Reluctantly, she began to let go of her great-grandfather’s hand, bit by bit.

Then, Ling Momo watched as her great-grandfather was swiftly pushed into the operating room.

She instinctively cried out, "Great-grandfather..."

She chased after his bed, but before she had taken more than a few steps, the heavy operating room doors slammed shut before her eyes, and then she saw the light above the operating room door turn on.

Ling Momo felt as though everything in front of her eyes was soaked in blood red. The sound of the operating room doors closing echoed in her brain, making her feel as though all the blood in her body had frozen.

In that instant, she felt as if all her strength had been drained, leaving her filled with panic and helplessness.

Staggering, she walked over to a seat by the window and sat down lifelessly.

The hospital corridor window was open, and a cool breeze blew in from outside. It wasn’t actually cold, but Ling Momo felt her whole body as cold as ice and snow, subconsciously hugging herself with a sense of loneliness she had never felt before spreading from the bottom of her heart.

Looking out at the pitch-black Night Color, she thought of many people—her father, her mother, her friends who had been utterly ruined by Jian Chenxi, and Lu Niange, whom she had once loved desperately.

These people, they were once the most important people in her life. Yet, one by one, for various reasons and misfortunes, they had either completely disappeared from her life, drifted away, or even become enemies! Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⦿fire.net

Every loss had brought her heavy blows and pain, and now, it was her great-grandfather’s turn...

The world was once again about to abandon her, leaving her alone in this cold, dark world.

This feeling, one she had experienced over and over again, she had thought herself to become numb to it. Yet unexpectedly, it still felt like her heart was being ripped apart!

[The feeling in the wee hours of the night is really great~ Merry Christmas!]
