My phone rang. It was my mom.
On the other end of the line, she was crying and gasping for breath.
From her fragmented words, I finally understood what she was saying.
My grandpa fell and was currently being treated in the hospital.
After that, my fingers holding the phone became stiff.
I ran out of the campus at the fastest speed possible and got in a taxi.
When I arrived at the hospital, my grandpa was still being rescued.
"Your grandpa's biggest wish is to see you get married. He even said during the day that he wanted to take care of your child..."
My mother sat on the bench in the hospital, suppressing her tears and speaking in pain.
I squatted on the ground, covering my face with both hands.
My grandpa was old and had always been in poor health. He had a caregiver beside him when he went up and down the stairs.
But this time he fell directly from the second floor to the first floor.
After a while, the doctor came out.
Looking at him shaking his head heavily, I felt like I was suffocating.
"Family members, come over. The old man still has something to say."
I walked forward, holding my grandpa's hand trembling.
