Chapter 270: She Did Not Want to Receive Treatment

Zuo Weiyi did not notice the expression on his face, and she nonchalantly recalled what happened more than ten years ago.
“My mother told me that my grandmother almost died on the operating table back then. However, she miraculously survived under the doctor’s care.”
“Did she fall ill after that?”
Zuo Weiyi nodded.
However, the old man got even more agitated.
“Why didn’t you send her for treatment? She was not suffering from an incurable disease. If she had gone for treatment as scheduled, she would definitely still be alive!”
Zuo Weiyi was very puzzled at the old man’s sudden reaction.
When he realized that his reaction was extremely abnormal, the old man suddenly apologized before he continued speaking in a gentler tone, “Sorry. I was really very close to her when we were younger.”
Zuo Weiyi did not think too much after listening to his explanation.
Instead, she continued explaining that there was no way for them to give treatment to her grandmother back then.
“We did not give up on her treatment but…”
“But what?”
Zuo Weiyi raised her head as she looked at the old man. In fact, Zuo Weiyi was also very puzzled about her grandmother’s decision.
“My grandmother refused to receive treatment.”
“Why?”
Zuo Weiyi shook her head before she replied, “I am not too sure. Initially, my grandmother was hospitalized when she was receiving treatment. However, one day after she saw a piece of international news, she suddenly asked to be discharged, and she refused to receive treatment no matter how hard my mother tried to persuade her to do so.”
As soon as he heard her words, the old man frowned as he asked, “A piece of international news? What news?”
Zuo Weiyi shook her head as she replied, “I really do not know because I only ever heard about this matter from my mother.”
Back then, she was just an infant who was a few months old. Therefore, there was no way she could have known anything.
“Did she say anything before she left this world?”
Zuo Weiyi lowered her head as she thought about the night when her grandmother passed away eighteen years ago.
Even though she was only three years old at that time, she could still vividly remember that night as it was embedded deeply in her memory.
“She said that she really wanted to see him again…”
However, Zuo Weiyi did not know who her grandmother was referring to.
After hearing her words, the old man felt as though a million daggers were piercing into his heart.
Was the news that Zuo Weiyi’s grandmother saw, the news that he was going to marry the congressman’s daughter?
Was that the reason why she had chosen to die instead of accepting any form of treatment?
As he thought about this, the old man lowered his head as tears welled up in his eyes…
Zuo Weiyi did not notice the expression on his face because his head was lowered.
After taking a deep breath and regaining his composure, the old man finally raised his head as he stared at Zuo Weiyi calmly.
“So, did you and your mother live well after that?”
Zuo Weiyi thought that the old man was only asking about her living conditions because he was being polite. Therefore, she did not think too much about it and simply smiled as she said casually, “Yes, we lived very well.”
After all, she did not want to talk about her mother’s affairs when there was no need to do so.
She did not want anyone to be judging her mother.
“If you have time, can you bring me to visit the graves of your grandmother and your mother? I… I really want to see them,” the old man suddenly asked.
Zuo Weiyi was a little surprised at his sudden request.
However, it would be very difficult for him to visit her grandmother’s grave.
“MY grandma… we scattered her ashes into the sea.”
The old man was very surprised to hear this. “Scattered into the sea? Why?”
“My grandmother used to love dolphins very much. Therefore, we wanted her to live amongst the dolphins after her death.”
The old man was so sad that he almost choked after Zuo Weiyi spoke!
