I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child-Chapter 314: Zhouzhou likes Great-Grandpa a lot too. When Zhouzhou grows up, I'll take good care of Great-Grandpa too!" (3)

Chapter 314 – “Zhouzhou likes Great-Grandpa a lot too. When Zhouzhou grows up, I’ll take good care of Great-Grandpa too!” (3)

“Great-Grandpa is sick. We’re going to see Great-Grandpa,” Ye Zhen affectionately touched Zhouzhou’s little head. “When we see Great-Grandpa later, could you say a few words to cheer him up?”

Zhouzhou tilted his head to think. “Like what Dad says when Mom is sick?”

Ye Zhen paused in surprise. “What did he say? Children aren’t allowed to say nonsense!”

“Umm…” Zhouzhou was anxious and couldn’t articulate what he wanted to say for a long time.

“Alright, never mind, just tell Great-Grandpa the stories that Mom has told you. Great-Grandpa will definitely be happy if he hears that from you.”

“Okay! Zhouzhou will tell stories to Great-Grandpa! I’ll tell him about the one with the little rabbit!”

Ye Zhen kissed his head in encouragement. “Our Zhouzhou is the most well-behaved one!”

Having received a compliment, Zhouzhou beamed with happiness. He practised telling the story to Ye Zhen the rest of the car ride.

The hospital wasn’t too far from the ancestral home. An hour later, the car smoothly stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

Right after getting out of the car, Ye Zhen and Zhouzhou were led to Old Master Lu’s hospital room by someone. Lu Beichuan and the others were standing outside the hospital room. Their brows were furrowed due to sadness as they listened to the doctor’s grave assessment.

Ye Zhen picked up Zhouzhou and stood there for a while. It was only when the doctor left that she stepped forward.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Beichuan shook his head and looked into the hospital room.

There was a respirator mask on Old Master Lu’s face, and there were many tubes inserted into his body.

“Grandpa always had a heart problem, and it relapsed last night. That on top of the liver cancer, I’m afraid…” Lu Beichuan shook his head.

Tears were streaming down Butler Lu’s face. He slowly walked into the hospital room. His old and stooped over figure stopped at Old Master Lu’s bedside. He had so many words that he wanted to say, but his heart felt so stuffy. His words were stuck in his throat.

Butler Lu had been with Old Master Lu for the longest. He didn’t have any children of his own. He had dedicated his life to the Lu family. In this lifetime, he only had the Lu family and Old Master Lu.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about death, but it had always been something in the future. Now that the death bells were about to ring, he found it very difficult to accept.

Butler Lu’s body slowly sank down. His body looked as if it had lost its backbone. He solemnly kneeled down by Old Master Lu’s bedside. He held Old Master Lu’s hand, but he didn’t dare to hold it too tightly. He violently trembled all over. Tears streamed down his wrinkled face to land on the back of Old Master Lu’s hand.

“Old Master…. Old Master….” Although he knew very well that praying was useless, he placed his forehead on the back of Old Master Lu’s hand, like a devout believer praying.

Butler Lu regretted it. If only he had persuaded Old Master more to come to the hospital for examinations, then perhaps, today’s outcome would be entirely different.

Lu Beichuan and Lu Shaoyan hastily helped him up. They silently looked at each other and could only say a few words of no significance to console him.

The room was filled with the sound of beeping machines, and the air in the hospital smelled of disinfectant.

Ye Zhen didn’t go in. She stood in the hallway and held Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou silently looked at the hospital room. He sniffed. Puzzled, he asked Ye Zhen, “Mom, why aren’t we going in to see Great-Grandpa?”

Ye Zhen was teary. “We’ll go in as soon as Great-Grandpa wakes up.”

“Oh.” Zhouzhou obediently waited and didn’t bother Ye Zhen anymore.

He could feel that his mom was feeling unhappy. That’s why he had to be a well-behaved, good kid that didn’t make his mom worry.

“Zhouzhou, did you know that Great-Grandpa gave you your name?”

Zhouzhou tilted his head. “Lu Zhifei?”

“Do you like that name?”

“Like it!”

“When Great-Grandpa was picking out a name for you, he wrote out countless names and thought about it for a long time. He hopes that you’ll be a sensible child and grow up to be someone that knows good and evil and right and wrong.”

(T/N: Lu Zhifei’s name comes from the saying zhi shan e, ming shifei, shi lianchi which means know good and evil, know right and wrong, and know honor and shame.)

Zhouzhou didn’t understand and looked at Ye Zhen with a pair of baffled eyes.

“When you were still in mom’s belly, Great-Grandpa greatly looked forward to your birth. He likes you. He likes you a lot. Hasn’t Great-Grandpa always especially looked forward to seeing you?”

Zhouzhou firmly nodded. His voice was crisp and soft, “Zhouzhou likes Great-Grandpa a lot too. When Zhouzhou grows up, I’ll take good care of Great-Grandpa too!”
