Chapter 1612: We Did Our Best; Please Accept Our Condolences

~4 min read 656 words

They rushed to the hospital and saw Fu Yankun waiting for them outside.

Fu Fu grabbed him: "Yankun, how is Grandpa?"

Fu Yankun steadied him: "Second Uncle, Grandpa is still in the emergency room. My father asked me to meet you here."

Hearing he was in the emergency room, Fu Fu was so panicked he could barely speak.

Fu Mu spoke for him instead: "What exactly happened? Why did Grandpa suddenly get so bad?"

Fu Yankun's eyes were red: "Grandpa Xu from the compound passed away. Grandpa received the news this afternoon, went to see him, and upon returning, locked himself in the study.

He didn't come out for dinner; my mother, fearing he couldn't bear it physically, had him taken to the study.

Before I went to sleep, I went to check on him. Seeing he was just flipping through old photos, I didn't disturb him further.

My father, worried, kept watch outside the door. Only when he heard the sound of something heavy falling inside did he rush in."

As he spoke, his voice choked up: "Second Uncle, the doctor said Grandpa's condition is very critical and asked the family to prepare themselves mentally."

While speaking, they had already reached the emergency room door.

Fu Eldest Brother saw Fu Fu: "Second Brother, I'm afraid Father this time..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Fu Fu's eyes turned red: "Father's health has always been good, how could this happen..."

"Grandpa Xu passed away, and Father couldn't accept it for a moment. His emotions were probably unstable, which led to this..."

Just as he finished speaking, the emergency room door was pushed open, and the doctor walked out.

Fu Eldest Brother and his brother rushed to the doctor in front: "Physician, how is my father's condition?"

The doctor took off his mask: "I'm sorry. Please accept our condolences."

Upon hearing the words, Fu Eldest Brother staggered, his body going limp as he collapsed toward the ground.

Fu Yankun, behind him, caught him: "Father, are you okay? Don't scare me."

Fu Fu's tears instantly flowed: "How could he be gone? Father's health has always been good."

The doctor sighed lightly: "I'm sorry. We did our best. Please accept our condolences."

Liu Chuxue received the news early the next morning: "How could this happen?"

Fu Yan Cheng offered no explanation. Having not slept all night, his complexion was not good. Liu Chuxue felt deeply for him: "I must settle the triplets before I can leave. Why don't you catch some sleep first?"

Fu Yan Cheng shook his head: "It's fine. I'll wait for you. Once everything is arranged, we'll leave."

Liu Chuxue went out to call Xiao Fu and explained the situation. Afterwards, she called Xiao Eldest Brother: "Eldest Aunt, the situation is like this. I'm worried Aunt Wei can't manage alone. I'd like you to come over and help."

Xiao Eldest Aunt already liked Liu Chuxue and adored the triplets. Plus, Liu Chuxue had recently sent news that got her nephew a job, so she naturally wouldn't refuse: "Alright. I'll pack up and head over right away."

With the children arranged, Liu Chuxue changed clothes and then went to the compound with Fu Yan Cheng.

When the couple arrived, Eldest Brother and Third Brother were there persuading their younger sister.

Xiao Wan's eyes were red from crying. Seeing Liu Chuxue, she cried again: "Fourth Sister-in-law, given my current situation, I can't even go in to see Grandpa. I feel so terrible."

Thinking of Fu Grandpa, Liu Chuxue's eyes also turned red. She patted Xiao Wan's back: "Grandpa knows your situation and won't blame you. Listen to everyone and let Ren Jiangfeng take you home first."

Xiao Wan ultimately didn't go inside. Everyone only let her offer three sticks of incense to Grandpa outside the memorial hall.

Xiao Wan insisted on kowtowing to Grandpa before leaving, and everyone let her have her way.
