Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 640: Chapter 640: True and False Heiress 33

”Xiao Chun, you’re here,” Grandpa Chen greeted her, ”Your grandpa’s old ailment has flared up in the past few days, and he’s been having severe headaches.”

”Hello, Grandpa Chen.” Yuan Chun placed the braised tenderloin she brought for the old man aside and looked at Grandpa Cao with concern, ”Grandpa, are you feeling uncomfortable? Should I get you a glass of water?”

”Good girl, Grandpa’s not thirsty.” Grandpa Cao said weakly, ”Xiao Chun, come sit by Grandpa’s side.”

Yuan Chun obediently sat on a small stool by his bed and heard Grandpa Cao sigh, ”Xiao Chun, Grandpa’s getting old. At this age, I feel powerless to do anything. Everything at home will need to rely on you and Xiao Wu in the future.”

Yuan Chun’s eyes filled with tears as she choked up, ”Grandpa, we’re still young and there are many things we don’t understand. Xiao Wu and I still need your protection, Grandpa, you can’t have anything happen to you.”

”Grandchild, Grandpa’s old and might not be able to take care of you for much longer.” Grandpa Cao looked at his granddaughter-in-law with reluctance, ”Grandpa doesn’t want to leave, I haven’t held a great-grandchild yet.”

However, the cycle of life and death is not something he can control.

His body probably won’t hold up much longer.

Yuan Chun wiped her tears and said, ”Grandpa, you must be strong and live a long life, so that when I have kids, I can have Grandpa’s help to raise them.”

”Alright, Grandpa will stay strong.”

Grandpa Cao smiled, his face full of wrinkles, but his heart was filled with sorrow and sadness.

With him gone, the Cao family would only have the young grandson and granddaughter-in-law left. These two young people... the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

”Grandpa, let Grandpa Chen chat with you for a while. I’ll go make you something to eat.”

Yuan Chun wanted Grandpa Cao to take another Revitalizing Pill.

007, sensing her thoughts, said, ”Host, the Revitalizing Pill can extend life and ensure physical health, but Grandpa Cao has a shrapnel in his head, and the pill can’t remove the shrapnel.”

”Can I directly transfer the shrapnel into the space?” Yuan Chun asked.

replied, ”I’m afraid not, Grandpa Cao’s shrapnel has fused with his brain tissue and has become one with it. Even with your spiritual ability, it’s difficult to perfectly separate it, and if your spiritual power harms Grandpa Cao’s brain tissue, he could die on the spot.”

Yuan Chun had realized this earlier, which is why she hadn’t dared to directly transfer the shrapnel into space.

She gritted her teeth and asked, ”What about using the medical pod?”

”Host, Mr. Chen is well aware of Grandpa Cao’s condition. If the shrapnel in Grandpa Cao’s brain suddenly disappeared, Mr. Chen would likely suspect you first.”

Since the Host had demonstrated medical knowledge in front of Grandpa Chen, and sold him quite a few valuable prescriptions.

Grandpa Chen is not a fool. If all of Grandpa Cao’s ailments suddenly vanished, wouldn’t Grandpa Chen become suspicious?

”If none of this works, do I just have to stand by and watch Grandpa Cao die?” Yuan Chun said, chopping fish pieces forcefully in the kitchen.

As if the fish had somehow wronged her.

suggested, ”Perhaps, Host, you could seek help from 178. She’s in medical school this lifetime, almost graduated, and has already shown exceptional medical skills in school. Her academic performance is top of the class, with professors eager to take her as a protege. If the Host could persuade her to help save Grandpa Cao, his illness could definitely be cured.”

Yuan Chun fell silent.

Then she became depressed.

In the previous life, she had made a mess of things, leaving the person with no hands or feet, failed the mission, and turned into a monster.

In this life, she had to seek that person’s help. Truly, the Heavenly Dao is just and spares no one; it’s all fate, beyond one’s control.
