Smile. That was all the old man was when he saw Suyin and Wang Shi coming into the room. No need to ask what happened. Their eyes were answering everything.
He didn't want to have a conversation while lying down, but the poor body didn't support him to stand. He pressed the button to propel the bed up and extended trembling hands towards Suyin. "Come, child." he looked at Wang Shi, "You too. Sit with her. Let me see you two together to my heart's content. Who knows--"
"Grandpa." Wang Shi squeezed his hand, careful of the IV. "Don't say it."
"Silly child. Do you think I don't know why none of you have left my side in this past week?" he glanced at the ceiling. "I'm bored here and want to see my sweetheart again. Do you think she would be as old as me? I think no."
