Chapter 4724 Early Birthday Gift

The old man wanted to wave to the child.

In the end, he just moved his fingers.

……

"grandmother!"

The child's keen ears caught the faint voice of his grandmother.

She immediately rushed to her grandmother's bedside.

The little hands rested on the edge of the bed.

The child was lying on the bed.

He gave the old man a soft smile.

"Grandma, you called me just now, didn't you?"

……

The old man's expression softened a little.

His complexion seemed to be better.

"……Um."

The old man puts in a lot of effort to utter every word.

She is too weak.

She knew that her time was running out.

……

"grandmother."

The child tilted his head and looked at the old man.

“It’s okay if your hair turns grey.”

"We can dye our hair."

The child said seriously.

"Any color will do."

"...I really want pink hair, but my mom doesn't agree..."

The child pursed his lips in a somewhat aggrieved manner.

"Grandma, what color do you like?"

"Since you're going to dye your hair, why not dye it a special color?"

The child became a little excited.

……

The child's mother wanted to speak up to remind the child, but the child's father held her hand.

The child's father shook his head slightly at the child's mother.

The child's mother pursed her lips and took back the steps that were about to move forward.

……

There was always a faint smile on the old man's face.

……

"Grandma, which color do you like?"

After saying a few colors that he thought were good, the child asked his grandmother for her opinion.

……

"Which...color...ah..."

The old man showed hesitation on his face.

"It's... hard to choose..."

……

"right?"

The child nodded in agreement.

“I find it hard to choose, too.”

“I think these colors are all good.”

"It will definitely look good if grandma dyes it..."

……

The old man looked at the child with a soft expression.

In my ears I could hear the child's serious distress in his childish voice.

She tried to move her hands.

……

"grandmother?"

The child noticed his grandmother's actions.

She blinked and asked in confusion, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

……

The old woman opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "Grandma..."

"I have something... for Yaya."

The old man paused after saying a few words.

After saying this, the old man was already out of breath.

……

thing?

The child is a little curious.

"What is it, Grandma?"

……

"Grandma, let me help you get it."

The child saw that the old man was struggling and wanted to help.

"you are sick."

"Mom said that you should rest well when you are sick."

"Don't move."

……

Grandma smiled.

"Grandma...yes."

After spending quite a while, the old man finally found something from under his pillow.

A red rope fell from the old man's palm.

……

"Yaya."

Grandma frowned.

"Hand out."

……

The child stretched out his hand obediently.

……

The old man raised his hand slightly with some difficulty.

Then he placed the thing in his hand in the child's palm.

……

The old man wanted to move his hand away.

But I found myself without strength.

The old hands covered with age spots form a sharp contrast with the child's chubby, white hands.

The old man's fingers contracted.

……

"grandmother……"

There was a sigh in the old man's voice and a faint helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.

"No energy left."

"This is a gift from grandma..."

"Originally... it was a birthday present for... Yaya's... tenth birthday..."

Grandma gasped and tried to make a low and hoarse sound.

Ten years old.

The little pink ball back then has grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye. The grandmother's eyes are full of love as she looks at her granddaughter.

And...reluctant.

There are still two weeks until my granddaughter's tenth birthday...

soon……

But she couldn't hold on until then.

"…This is from grandma…mom…gifted to grandma…"

"Grandma... doesn't have a daughter..."

The old man's eyes gradually closed.

She tried hard to open her eyes and see her granddaughter's face clearly.

She arched her eyebrows.

“…Yaya.”

"Happy birthday."

……

"Grandma, my birthday hasn't come yet."

The child corrected the old man.

However, the child soon started laughing.

It's ok.

"Thank you grandma~"

The child said sweetly.

Receiving gifts is always a happy thing.

The child pulled his hand out from under the old man's.

She raised the necklace in her hand to examine it more closely.

The thin silver ring emits a faint halo under the light.

It creates a striking contrast with the red rope.

The child's big eyes curved into crescent shapes.

“So beautiful~”

……

The last thing left in the old man’s vision was the child’s smiling face with curved eyes.

The old man's brows relaxed.

A faint sigh came from his throat.

……

"Grandma~"

"look."

The child held the ring high up to reflect the light from the roof.

……

"grandmother?"

The child turned his head strangely when he didn't get a response from his grandmother.

"grandmother?"

She reached out and held her grandmother's hand.

"Milk-"

……

The child was taken away by his father.

She struggled subconsciously.

"I haven't finished talking to Grandma yet."

……

"Yaya."

The child's mother held the child's head.

"Shhh."

"Grandma is asleep."

"Let's not disturb grandma."

……

"……Oh."

The child puffed out his cheeks.

"When will grandma wake up?"

"I'll wait for grandma to wake up and then come to see her."

……

The child's mother tightened her grip around the child's head.

……

"Mother."

The child struggled slightly.

"I can't breathe."

……

"sorry."

The child's mother immediately let go of the child's head.

She blocked the child's view of the old man.

She reached out and took the child from the father's arms.

"Let's go out."

"Don't disturb grandma's rest."

……

The child's mother rested the child's head on her shoulders.

……

The child tried to raise his eyes.

She looked in the direction of the old man's bed.

pity.

Even without her mother holding her head down, she had a hard time seeing her grandmother.

There were many adults standing around grandma's bed.

Her vision was completely blocked.

The child was a little unhappy.

But he didn't dare to shout out loud.

The child's keen intuition told her that she should remain quiet at this moment.

……

Until the child came with his parents to attend his grandmother's funeral...

The child then realized that his grandmother was sleeping forever.

Won't wake up again.

……

The child is still a little confused.

It was her first time experiencing death.

She didn't know what this meant yet...

……

Mom and Dad didn't talk to her much.

They told her that her grandmother would be watching over her and blessing her in heaven...

……

Her uncle and aunt told her that her grandmother was the best to her.

Before leaving, I gave her a birthday present...

Let her remember the kindness of her grandma.

……

The child put the ring her grandmother gave her around her neck...

　ps: I wish you all a happy New Year’s Eve (*︶*)~!
