Chapter 139: Pretty Adorable

Xia Sha sat outside the emergency unit. She felt her soul just left her body while watching the doctor rushing inside the room to save her grandfather. 

She knew Xia Qi Feng was running to her side. She watched him from the corner of her eyes, but she has no energy left, even to hug her father.

Father Xia looked at Xia Sha's pale face. He controls the emotion topping inside his heart. He slows down and takes a seat next to Xia Sha, and pat her back slowly.

"It's okay. Grandfather will be just fine. He will be alright. He always does," He mumbles while trying to calm his daughter. 

Xia Sha pressed her lips and wiped tears on her cheek. She took long exhales and inhales, trying to push something out from her tongue. 

"I was talking to him. He was alright a moment ago. How could this happen?" She talks slowly with a restrained sob. 

"He is fragile," Xia Qi Feng's voice comes out choked. He tried to console Xia Sha, but he felt his heart getting hammered with his own words. 

Right. Father has become fragile and old. He is as stubborn as he used to be, but his body isn't. Sometimes Xia Qi Feng tends to forget this fact because his father aged well. His hair has turned white, but he didn't lose any hair strains. His height has shrunk, but he still looked composed as ever. 

Xia Sha and Xia Qi Feng thought that he stayed in the hospital to put Xia Sha under pressure, so she willing to marry Xiao Zhan. He had used this method when Xia Qi Feng decided to divorce Shen Xia Fei. They never thought grandfather Xia is sick. 

Both felt awful as they waited outside the emergency unit. 

Slowly, Xia Sha started to accustomed to the pungent smell of disinfectants. Three hours have passed as she prayed for her grandfather with a chaotic mind and heart. When the operating sign has turned off, she stood up instantly, waiting for the news from inside.

"Doctor, how is my grandfather?" She questioned the doctor as soon as he comes out. 

The doctor has a masked to cover half of his face and a hair mask to cover his hair. Even though he only reveal his eyes and thick eyebrow, he carries an aura around him that scream 'I am good looking!'. His eyes filled with a glint of suspicion. Xia Sha was confused. Did she do something to anger this man? 

"The patient has a history of heart attack, but there is a trace of Antidepressant in his blood. Couldn't you take care of your grandfather? he is old and fragile, don't make him felt unhappy." 

The doctor's tone and intonation are frosty as he belittled Xia Sha with his gaze. Xia Sha's jaw dropped on the ground because of his great attitude and the brand new information. 

"Antidepressant? I don't think my father would consume something like that. He took great care of his body. He even hired a nutritionist to take care of his diet. Are you sure he is taking an Antidepressant?" Xia Qi Feng frowned as he glances at his father inside the ward. 

"Yes."

"But why?" Xia Qi Feng mumbles.

The doctor looked offended as he scoffed and retorted coldly. 

"I don't know. I never make this patient unhappy before. That is a question his most closet family should answer. Why did you do that you make the old make took an Antidepressant in his golden days? But don't worry, he is safe for now. I'm not sure if you keep making him consuming the Antidepressant, though."

He left after stabbing a sharp knife on Xia Sha and Xia Qi Feng's heart. 

Even though the doctor is rude, they can't find mistaken between his words. Thinking of how much disappointment they caused, the two of them appear guilty. 

After the doctor left, two nurses pushed grandfather Xia back to his ward. Xia Sha takes a glance at her grandfather's pale face and a long relieved breath. Grandmother Xia and Pang Ze Tian rushed after Xia Qi Feng called them. Xia Sha slowly left the place with a heavy heart. 

She thought grandfather Xia finally let this whole marriage things go. It seems like she underestimates his love for grandfather Xiao. He must felt burdened when he couldn't return the favor he owes grandfather Xiao. 

If this is the case, Xia Sha has turned into someone who almost murdered her grandfather. 

Her trembling body suddenly hit something because she didn't watch the road closely. Xia Sha found a hard chest wearing an unbuttoned white shirt and a black t-shirt. Without looking up at the man, she apologized and walked past him. 

The man didn't want to let her off so quickly. It's shown in his face when he caught her wrist and called her name. 

"Xia Sha? What happens to you? Why are you here?" That familiar baritone voice flew like music into Xia Sha's ear. When she recognized that voice, Xia Sha immediately looked up and run to his embrace. 

The owner of the baritone voice caught unprepared. He took two-step back to balance his body when Xia Sha strode into his chest. That beautiful, slim arm was circling his neck as he heard a soft sob coming out from Xia Sha.

"Ruan Jing Tian, I- I-" she choked and sobbed uncontrollably. It's like the forte and denial she keeps in her mind crumble down entirely when she heard his voice. 

"Don't cry, Don't cry! Speak slowly. Take your time," Ruan Jing Tian's voice filled with panic when he felt wetness on his chest through his shirt. 

"Ruan Jing Tian, I- I almost killed my grandfather," Xia Sha broked down as she confessed to Ruan Jing Tian. 

"WHAT?" Ruan Jing Tian's heart practically jumped from its place. Xia Sha seems to cry louder when she heard his reaction. She frowned as she covered her face with her palm. 

Seeing she got more aggrieved, Ruan Jing Tian quickly explains himself. He patted her back and shooked his head frantically. 

"What? That is impossible! It must be-" he almost wanted to say died in your arm because he loves you! Stupid tongue!

"It must be because I don't want to marry Xiao Zhan. He wished to granted grandfather Xiao's wish, and I- I didn't cooperate. The doctor said he consumes an Antidepressant because of me."

"A-Antidepressant? Nonsense! Why would he killed himself before he got what he wanted?" Ruan Jing Tian remembers the not-so-kind grandfather Xia in his early day. 

Grandfather Xia had always frowned at him when he played with Xia Sha. He also likes to tease and tricked him so he won't get too close to Xia Sha. Growing up, Ruan Jing Tian felt grandfather Xia is a stern and no-fun grandfather. He makes Xia Sha learn so many things to fill his expectation. 

He wouldn't possibly leave before Xia Sha filled his expectation to marry someone he approved. Ruan Jing Tian knew that Oldman loves his granddaughter so much. 

"But I make him unhappy these days. That night, we fought, and I shouted at him. He must've felt upset since that day. Today grandfather Xiao come to visit him to cancel the engagement plan. He also hinted that he didn't dare to offend the Guan family, thus chose to retreat."

Xia Sha recalls how angry grandfather Xia was at the dinner night and how sincere he looked this noon. The appearing images make her hard to breathe as the air turned sour and suffocating. 

"He gives me his blessing then worried about me getting bullied. I'm so useless." 

Xia Sha's forehead relies on against Ruan Jing Tian's hard chest. Tears drop like a free waterfall into the cold ground as Ruan Jing Tian pulled her closer into him. 

"How are you useless? If a woman like you is worthless, then people could call me trash! Since he has given you his blessing, then he is happy for you. Also, that Oldman loves himself so much, why would he eat an Antidepressant?"

Xia Sha listens to him and slightly felt her muddled brain has clear a little. She stopped sobbing and cry quietly. 

"Talk. Talk again," she begged Ruan Jing Tian as she picked up her shattered heart. 

"Do you remember when we just finished our IELTS test? I thought we could finally play after studying. I've rent an ice skating arena for four of us, but what does he do? He said we need to finish our BCT test now. He even watched us sit and come with the book prepared. You remember what he said?" Ruan Jing Tian asked Xia Sha, who stop trembling now. 

"He said stop dreaming to leave this room before you finished three-chapter. I will watch you strictly even if I need to spend a week here." Xia Sha murmured and started to giggles. 

She didn't know what is so funny about Grandfather's Xia words that time, but he had made her, Zheng Shuang, and Kai Xin's stomach hurt. It might be Ruan Jing Tian's scornful looks or Grandfather Xia's childishness bicker with Ruan Jing Tian. 

It's one of the memorable memories in Ruan Jing Tian's mind. But either way, what he wanted to say is, "Since he said he wanted to see you get married, Grandfather Xia wouldn't leave you even if he needs to spend weeks here."

Xia Sha finally looked up after Ruan Jing Tian patted her head gently. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly wing. It looked even longer because of her tears. Ruan Jing Tian smiles at her and wipes away her tears carefully. 

"Don't cry anymore. I'm sure Grandfather Xia didn't take the Antidepressant. It might be someone's scheme," Ruan Jing Tian finally expressed his real opinion after he sees Xia Sha's has calmed down. 

Xia Sha nods her head weakly. 

"I know, I'm just shocked. But what are you doing here?"

Ruan Jing Tian grinned and pulled out a stack of brochures in his pants pocket. 

"Come to study. My nephew needs a good father. I won't let the little guy down." 

Xia Sha looks at Ruan Jing Tian and found he is never this charming or handsome in the past. Subconsciously she called his name and praised him. 

"Ruan Jing Tian, you are pretty adorable now."
