After speaking, he coughed forcefully a few times. He was so weak that he couldn't muster any energy, nothing like the way he was doing Tai Chi in the courtyard a few days ago.
Clara Knox cried until she couldn't catch her breath. She remembered Granny had fallen in the courtyard, and then her health declined day by day. Half a year later, she passed away from this world.
When people reach this age, their bodies become unexpectedly fragile.
They leave just like that.
"Grandpa, don't say anything now, just rest."
The old man sighed and tears squeezed from the corners of his eyes.
Then he started coughing violently again.
Clara was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak clearly,
"Grandpa, stop coughing, I promise, I promise..."
The old man finally stopped coughing after a long time. He touched Clara's hair, his eyes full of apology,
"Child, were you scared? Did you keep watch all night without sleep yesterday? Go home and rest quickly; let this bastard watch over me today."
