Chapter 2484 Self-blame
Time is really a good medicine for healing.

As the days passed, the mental state of the two old people was gradually recovering.

It is also because they found that they have a spiritual sustenance.

It was the plum tree that they and Lele had taken care of together.

……

Caring for the plum trees has become an important and indispensable part of the lives of the two elderly people.

Looking at the plum trees and thinking of Lele's voice and smile, they still feel distressed, but smiles appear on their faces.

Because, in the memory of Lele and this plum tree, Lele was always smiling.

Lele likes to smile with his mouth wide open the most.

The chubby smiling face is so cute.

The big eyes are black and sparkling with the brilliance of stars.

Lele would occasionally smile secretly.

It seems like he is planning some unknown "bad idea".

……

But one day, the two old men discovered that the plum tree was sick.

They panicked for a moment.

All right...

How did you get sick?

Moreover, the illness didn’t look like it had just happened…it seemed like it had been going on for a while.

Because if the symptoms just appear, it won’t be so serious.

……

They are clearly taking good care of the plum trees.

The two old men were anxious and confused.

But this is not the time to look into the reasons.

They hurriedly found someone to come and see the plum tree.

This plum tree is very important to them.

They would never allow any mishap to happen to this plum tree.

……

As a result, they got a heavy blow.

The plum tree...is beyond saving.

……

They don't believe it.

They then discovered that the plum tree was sick.

Why is there no hope?

……

The memories that were deliberately suppressed resurfaced in my mind.

They remembered what happened to their grandson...

It was the same then.
They saw their grandson fly out.

They staggered to their grandson's front.

The blood all over the ground made them feel helpless.

The child lay on the ground like a broken doll.

……

The piercing sirens of the ambulance woke them up.

Don't wait for them to rejoice.

They were told...

Lele...is gone.

……

too fast.

Why did everything happen so fast?

Not even giving them a chance to save themselves?
……

Lele and the others were powerless to save the situation.

But this time, the plum tree was just sick, just a little more seriously...

They don't want to give up just like that.

……

"what."

The old lady suddenly let out a low cry.

It seemed as if he remembered something.

……

"what happened?"

The old man looked stunned.

……

"I remembered something..."

The old lady's eyes looked a little dazed.

But soon, her eyes focused on the old man's face.

"Old man, do you remember that day when we went out to buy groceries and met Ajuan on the road..."

……

The old man rubbed his forehead.

After a while, he nodded.

"There seems to be such a thing..."

……

"do you remember?"

The old lady said slowly, "Juan looked surprised."

"She said...why are we so haggard?"

"I thought at the time that we were worried about the plum tree, unable to sleep or eat, and exhausted, so our state of mind was not good..."

This was only natural. They had just come to terms with Lele's death, but the incident with the plum tree brought them back to the time when Lele had just left, dealing them another heavy blow.

How can they look good in this situation?

……

But now it seems...

There's more to their appearance than just being bad.

It's just terrible.

Even she couldn't recognize them.

……

what happened?

The old lady felt confused and uneasy.

Is it really because they have spent too much effort and energy that she and the old man have aged so much?
They hadn't reached this point before when Lele left.

She suddenly remembered her son's obvious concern for them.

I had to take them to the hospital for check-ups several times.

But they were all rejected.

You know your own body.

Apart from feeling tired frequently, they don't think there is anything wrong with their bodies.

The hospital is not a good place.

It also costs money.

If it is not necessary, it is better to go less.

". Juan really put it very tactfully."

The old lady smiled bitterly.

Or were they not as bad as they are now?
she does not know.

She wondered if her soul had left her body during this period of time?
How come she didn't notice the changes happening to herself and the old man?

What on earth is she doing?
This sentence.
The old lady was slightly stunned.

Then the bitter smile in his eyes became more intense.

She really asked herself this question many times during this period.

What is she doing?
Why didn't she hold Lele's hand?

Why didn't she keep looking at Lele?

Why didn't she realize that Lele was in danger and save the child immediately?

Why didn't she notice that the plum tree was sick immediately?
Why didn't she notice that the old man was aging abnormally?
Why.
Why exactly?
She admits she has reflected a lot.

But I still fall in the same place every time.

It's always too late.

"Old woman."

The old man's voice brought the old lady back to her senses.

She looked sideways.

The old man shook the old lady's hand.

“Don’t pinch yourself.”

The old man's words stunned the old lady.

Then she looked down.

Only then did I realize that there were several deep red marks on the back of my hand.

Only then did she realize that she was feeling a little pain.

".oh."

The old lady responded in a low voice.

He looked a little dazed and confused.

"Old man."

The old lady murmured.

"Ok?"

The old man rubbed the back of the old lady's hand.

It seemed as if he wanted to erase those traces that were annoying to him.

“How come you are so old?”

The old lady suddenly felt the horror of time.

She thought they still had a long time to spend together.
The same goes for Lele.

But Lele is gone.

The baby fat on her face hadn't faded away. She left.
She was also thinking about where to go for fun with the old man or with Lele and the other two.

She is in good shape.

The old man is in better health than she is.

They can go to many places.

She wasn't afraid of getting old before.

Getting older is just a necessary process in life.

She grew up from a babbling child to an old woman.
This is how the process should have been.

However, she found that this process was not wrong, but was much faster than she thought.

She was stunned.

She felt flustered, helpless and scared.

“I’m that old, too.”

The old lady touched her face.

The time that she thought was ample suddenly became urgent.

Her breathing couldn't help but quicken.

"you are young."

The old man spoke with conviction.

"How are you old?"

"Talk about it"

The old man looked like he had remembered something, "Should we go get a physical checkup?"
