Chapter 788 - 769 He’s not by her side, how can she walk away peacefully
When Qin Mobai arrived at the main house, he noticed that someone who should have been currying favor with the old man was missing—Xi Siwei.
He thought Xi Siwei should be complaining bitterly to the old man about how Qin Mobai bullied their family when the elder wasn’t around, how he locked his parents in the study and wouldn’t let them out, and how he drove the company Xi Siwei had founded into near bankruptcy...
But Xi Siwei wasn’t there, which really surprised Qin Mobai.
The old man was sitting in the living room, looking much rosier. Ever since he woke up that morning, his recovery had been swift, even the doctors said it was a miracle.
Qin Sheng felt much better seeing the younger generation whom he hadn’t seen in a while; nothing delighted the elderly more than being with family.
However, as he looked around, the old man noticed someone was missing.
"Where’s the old lady?" Qin Sheng scanned the area, not seeing his wife who had been with him through thick and thin. His heart sank; since he woke up, he hadn’t seen her come to visit, thinking she must be unwell. But now that he’s home, why hasn’t she come out to see him?
Could she be upset with him for being in a coma for so long? Was she giving him the silent treatment now?
"I understand now, she must be angry, waiting for me in the room," Qin Sheng seemed to have thought of something, "Take me to the room, I want to find her."
The crowd listened, seeing the tenderness in the old man’s eyes as he spoke of his wife; if he knew the truth that she was no longer with them...
But no one dared say anything, afraid that revealing the truth would anger the old man, or worse, that he might die from the shock, leaving them the villains of the Qin Family.
So no one dared speak.
"Grandpa." Qin Mobai stopped Qin Sheng and gestured for the nurse to leave the living room.
Now, only the Qin Family remained in the living room.
Qin Mobai was able to shoulder the burdens of the Qin Family because he could do things others feared and take on responsibilities his relatives dared not.
"Mo Bai, whatever it is, tell me later. I want to see your grandmother," Qin Sheng seemed impatient, as if he somehow knew, unwilling to talk more with Qin Mobai, just wanting to return to the room quickly.
He knew the old lady must be waiting for him in the room, he just knew...
"Grandpa, grandmother passed away while you were in a coma," Qin Mobai knelt beside Qin Sheng’s wheelchair and delivered the heavy news.
Qin Sheng stared blankly at Qin Mobai, having had some premonition, but when Qin Mobai finally confirmed it, the old man gripped the wheelchair’s armrest tightly, veins standing out.
"Grandmother passed peacefully in her sleep, without any pain." Mentioning her passing again, Qin Mobai couldn’t help but choke up.
The entire living room fell silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
Only Qin Sheng’s voice broke the silence, aged and filled with boundless sorrow, "How could she not be in pain? How could she not be in pain..."
Qin Sheng, once a formidable figure, found his eyes gradually moistening after the death of his beloved wife, overwhelmed with grief.
He wasn’t by her side, how could she have gone peacefully?
"Mo Bai, take me to the room. I want to be alone for a while," Qin Sheng patted Qin Mobai’s shoulder heavily and said gravely.
