Chapter 468 - 449: Coaxing The Beast-II
Li Lian’s eyes at once went shaky. She hated when she had to hear news of her loved one from others as it always turn to where she found out how her family members are in danger.milk Jun Wei took in her expression and immediately held her hands. If one thing he was to hate the most in the entire world is that he cannot stop the misery and pain Li Lian felt but he knew lying or pushing the issue to her would only further cause her pain which Li Jun Wei knew would make her suffer more.
"Let’s get back to our room and take a seat," and Li Lian nodded. Li Jun Wei signaled Violet to leave for now and resume her report. Vacating to the bedroom, Li Lian took seat on the bed and she graced herself for what to come.
"Who are we talking about?" she asked, trying to be tough when she speak but her worry and anxiety could be heard.
"Your grandfather. I talked with Shun and Shin this afternoon and they told me that by chance they had overheard the Old Master and Kei’s discussion. There they heard that grandfather is ill," Li Jun Wei had spoken slowly and it hurt his heart to see how Li Lian’s expression turned from worry to shock and sadness. It was like her not to let tears to dribble from her eyes but the fear didn’t stop causing her to cry.
"What illness is it? Is he in a critical state?" Li Lian questioned, finding the cure was the best option, "Is there any medicine to heal him?"
Li Jun Wei placed his hand over her back, slowly saying, "It’s a lung illness. Apparently your grandfather had the illness for years and three weeks ago he fell to a sleep longer than two days."
"Oh god," Li Lian closed her eyes as she whispered, her body felt weak and she was thankful she wasn’t standing now or else her knees would go weak and she would slumped on the floor. "What about the medicine?" Li Lian looked at him with hope and he hated to destroy her hope as it was the same as stabbing his heart with blade. When Li Jun Wei shook his head, Li Lian leaned forward, burying her face on his chest.
Due to the extreme shock, tears didn’t materialize from her eyes, but the fear and surprise cause her hands that clutched over Li Jun Wei’s clothes tremble like leaves. "Why didn’t grandfather tell me this? Is it because he didn’t want to worry me?"
"He must have thought so," Li Jun Wei answered, comforting Li Lian by hugging her closer.
"I don’t understand. H-He should have told me this and I would have..." Li Lian drawled her words and suddenly a look of startle came on her face when something dawned in her. She looked up to meet Li Jun Wei’s eyes, "I wouldn’t be able to do anything. Is this why grandfather agreed for me to leave the family? But I don’t want that. I don’t want to be separated with him," Li Lian’s words stuttered as she was rattled by the news. Fear of losing another person haunt her mind. "I’m so stupid, How can I not notice grandfather’s pain?" Li Lian pursed her lips. It had been years since the Old Master had the illness yet it was only now did she know about his illness. How could she be occupied by many things that she overlook the closest people around her?
