In the county hospital.
In the night, a taxi with an Ice city license plate stopped at the front door of the hospital. The door opened and a slender figure rushed out from inside. The backpack was open, and she even forgot to take the change from the driver in front of her.
Wendy's feet were in disarray, and all she could think of was to hurry up and hurry up more.
Aunt Emma sounded panicked on the phone. She said that she found Wendy's grandmother fainted on the ground when she came back from the small sales department. She had now gotten a car to take Grandma to a hospital in a neighboring county, but she didn't say the details, just kept stressing for Wendy to come back soon.
At night, the hospital seemed to be very quiet.
When Wendy came out of the elevator, she saw a slightly fat figure at the end of the corridor pacing back and forth. She ran over and said, "Aunt Emma, where is my grandmother?"
When Aunt Emma saw Wendy, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Aunt Emma, why don't you talk? Where is my grandmother?" Wendy was even more frightened when she saw this. She looked at the emergency room in front of her and asked anxiously, "Is she in the emergency room? How is it going? Is there any danger? I have to take her to Ice city as soon as possible!"
"Wendy!" Aunt Emma grabbed her hand with a look of grief on her face. "Listen to me. I was scared too! When I came in, I found your grandmother lying on the floor, she wouldn't answer no matter what I called her. She was out of breath. So I asked someone to help me call the ambulance and sent her to the county hospital without stopping. The doctors and nurses have been doing their best to save her! Wendy, your grandmother is old enough that even if something unexpected happens, it's normal!"
actually started to cry again at the end of the story.
Wendy was stunned all of a sudden, and she could feel the panic spreading infinitely. "Aunt Emma, how is my grandmother now?"
Aunt Emma knew that she couldn't hide anything from her. She held Wendy's hand tightly and said word by word in a choked voice, "Wendy, you have to hold on! Your grandmother has passed away..."
"What?" Wendy was wobbling on her feet.
All of a sudden, her mind went blank, and there were only a few words echoing in her head.
Her grandmother had passed away...
She had passed away...
She's been running to the hospital every day since Grandma got sick over a year ago. Even though Grandma had to face dangerous situations more than once, Grandma always survived them. And within her perception, it never occurred to her that her grandmother would leave her. "No, it's impossible! Grandma is fine, and we've talked on the phone last night. She sounded very strong on the phone! Moreover, when she was in Ice City, Dr. Chin has already done the surgery and she is recovering well and will not have any problems..."
"Wendy, you'd better get in there and see her one last time!" Aunt Emma kept wiping her tears. "Your grandmother is still lying in bed. Go and see her off! If I hadn't stopped them, they would have pushed your grandmother to the morgue!"
The word "morgue" seems to have struck a nerve with her, and Wendy's feet went weak and she suddenly knelt down.
Aunt Emma quickly helped her up and walked into the consulting room.
The room was very quiet, even quieter than the corridor. There was a person lying on the bed, covered with a piece of white cloth.
Wendy stumbled over, and her hands trembled a few times before pinching a corner of the white cloth. There was still a little bit of luck in her heart, hoping that what she had heard was all a hallucination and that it wasn't Grandma lying there. However, when she opened the white cloth and saw the face that was lifeless, she was completely devastated, like a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
She reached out to touch her grandmother, but the body was cold.
