Chapter 595: Get betterYu Tong hurriedly glared at her grandmother and then said in a soft voice, " Grandmother how can you even say something like this? Don't you think that my and sister Dong's heart will be heartbroken if you were to say something like this? Sister Dong has said that as long as you recuperate well you will be able to get well soon, why don't you take a sip of this soup and then take a rest? I am sure you will be well in a few days."
Grandma Yu shook her head while her head was lying on the pillow and she moaned with a grievance, " Leave me alone this is what I deserve, my daughter …she was killed because of me, I should die like this as well. Even if I can get better I don't think that I will be able to let go of this weight that has been pressing over my heart for years, if I did not listen to that evil mer, my daughter would still be alive. It's better if I die right now…"
" Grandma, what are you saying? I did not stay in the cold water for so many hours to see you die. Are you not cutting my heart? If sister Dong hears then she will feel the same as well, don't say such words please." Yu Tong's delta wave of sorrow hit her heart as she cursed her grandfather, if she was not worried about dying, she would have cut her wrist and poured all the blood that belonged to that mer out of her body.
How can be someone so disgusting?
" That's right," Yu Dong walked inside the room and then placed Little bun on the bed, at first the kid was confused as to why he was brought into this room but when Yu Dong turned her head and tilted to grandma Yu, the little guy understood and immediately crawled over to where his grandma was lying and climbed up her body. Once he climbed up with the help of his strong paws that were all thanks to the spiritual water that was being fed to him on daily basis, he looked at Grandma Yu with big watery eyes and babbled causing old Madam Yu's lips to curl in a smile as she looked at the little guy who was babbling while lying on top of her body.
Yu Dong patted Yu Tong's shoulder and stopped her from crying, it was wrong of her to cry in front of old madam Yu who was already in such a fragile state of mind, it will only sadden her even further. " Grandma, I understand what you are going through but when you asked my mother to go to the mountain she already knew what she was doing and she knew the dangers as well but she still dared to do it because she was filial to you and did not want to see you getting troubled by that old man Tong."
Since she already knew that old man Tong had a lover outside there was no need for her to be respectful to him anymore. "Imagine if she finds out that you gave up on your life because of her what will she think? She will never be able to forgive herself. Do you want my mother's soul to be tormented even in the underworld? So what if old man Tong gave up on you and divorced you? Aren't I and Tong Tong still here? If I say that you will be fine then you will definitely be fine. Didn't the doctor tell Shen Li and Ye Liu that they will not be able to give birth but I can assure you that they will be able to get pregnant very soon under my and Sister Junfen's care you don't need to worry about anything anymore?"
" And right now is not the time for you to give up, you might not know this but the situation outside is going to be really worse. If you died then what will happen to our family, we still need someone elderly and experienced to deal with this situation."
Grandma Yu was immediately startled when she thought about what Yu Dong has said, this…Yu Dong was indeed right. Her daughter was a skilled hunter and knew that the chances of returning that night were really slim but she still took the risk because of her if she was to die now then the sacrifice her daughter made would be in vain. And now that she has made Yu Dong and Yu Tong suffer because of her muddleheaded thoughts and decisions she will have to make sure that she supports her granddaughters, if she died today then what will happen to her granddaughters who had no elders to care about them, especially Yu Tong, she left her home for her, she could not leave her alone only after watching her granddaughters settled down completely and properly.
If she got better then she would be able to see her granddaughters getting more and more successful! And at least after she has helped Yu Dong, she will be able to look into the eyes of her daughter and tell her that she took care of Yu Dong and Yu Tong in her last days maybe her daughter will be able to forgive her a little.
" Grandma, I want to play with you," Yu Mai knew that his sister has brought him here because she wanted him to make grandma Yu happy which was why he leaned on the bed and then placed his hands on the edge of the bed as he leaned forward and then looked at Grandma Yu with a smile. " If you get better quickly then I will be able to play with you, sister said that once the water goes back, she will take me and bun bun to the beach and help us catch crabs. Mai wants you to come with us."
When Grandma Yu saw her youngest grandson who became a fool because of her husband and his miser-like antics, her eyes turned red. That was right even if Yu Dong and Yu Tong settled down she will have to stay alive and look for a match for her little Mai.
