"I just think that if I can see them get married soon, I can ease my mind and leave without any worries." The old man sniffled.
I wonder if this time, Mr. and Mrs. Li still believe him.
Mr. and Mrs. Li are really conflicted right now.
Seeing the old man like this, indeed he is too old, delaying any further would be unkind.
But they always feel that the old man's health is not as bad as it appears.
Yet if they don't believe him, they seem heartless.
It's hard to have such thoughts.
"If I could, I'd try to hang on a bit longer, make an effort, maybe still see their child born." Tears welled up in the old man's eyes.
"If I could try a little harder, maybe I could play with the child for a few years. I might not be able to take care of the child with this old body of mine, but if I could accompany him, let him grow up remembering me as his grandfather, knowing what his grandfather looked like, it would be fine."
As the old man spoke, tears finally fell.
