My father's parents died early. As for my mother's father, he was so angry after the incident at his last birthday party that he completely cut off all contact with my mother.
My grandfather didn't plan to visit my parents until the people in the hospital called him.
As soon as he arrived, the doctor told the truth, and I hid at the door and eavesdropped.
"Their injury is too serious, and now they have a high fever. If their fever couldn't be gone tonight, it will be difficult for them to survive."
The doctor added, "Even if they survive, they still need skin transplants, which are not only expensive but also very painful."
Grandpa sighed and slammed his cane on the floor.
"Are you suggesting I give them up? If they are gone, what will happen to their child?"
The doctor patted my grandfather's shoulder helplessly to comfort him. "Sir, please make a decision as soon as possible. Tell me quickly whether to continue treatment or give up treatment."
I stuck my head out deliberately and rubbed my eyes hard, making them red and looking like I had been crying.
"Grandpa! Mom and Dad look very painful. Will it stop hurting if they die?"
"Zoe, you are too young to understand."
