Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

Chapter 1330: Inevitable Grief

This was a hospital in town. According to Uncle Gen’s request, he was transferred from the municipal armed police hospital to the town hospital. Two military doctors and two nurses accompanied them.

Principal Chen sat quietly by the bed. He hadn’t slept for two days so his eyes were bloodshot. As he looked at the old man lying on the bed without moving, the world-class sniper started crying.

No more. He really can’t endure it anymore. He’s been waiting for Ye Jian to come back.

Someone pushed the door gently and walked to Principal Chen. He patted his shoulder and said, “Old Chen, go and rest for a while. Old Yan and I will keep guard tonight.” As he spoke, Commander Liu stuffed the mineral water he bought into Principal Chen’s hand. “You didn’t eat or drink. Do you think you’re made of steel?”

“Ye Jian should reach in the second half of the night. You need to get yourself together and talk to her. Also, if you become like this, what will happen to Ye Jian? She is already sad enough. If you collapse too, she might faint from crying.”

Commissar Yan, who came in with an aluminum box in his hand, heard that and immediately said, “Old Liu is right. If you don’t take care of yourself, Ye Jian won’t even have a pillar to rely on.”

Afraid that they would wake up Uncle Gen, they lowered their voices and persuaded Principal Chen to take a rest.

“I’m not sleepy. I’m afraid that he will leave the moment I close my eyes. You heard what the military doctor said. Uncle… it will happen in the next few days.” Principal Chen rubbed his face. His body was tired but his mind was tense all the time. He wasn’t sleepy at all.

The IV drip dripped down the infusion tube one by one to replenish Uncle Gen’s nutrients who couldn’t eat for a week.

Principal Chen’s gaze landed on the infusion tube. His voice was so hoarse it sounded like gravel rubbing against the stone surface. He said bitterly, “The people from the military school haven’t come either. If we don’t settle everything, I won’t be able to sleep.”

“Since the military school has agreed, it will be done tomorrow.” Commissar Yan opened the aluminum lunch box. He even prepared a spoon for Principal Chen. “Have some food. You’re not sleeping or eating. Do you want Ye Jian to come back and take care of you?”

Principal Chen, who had the lunchbox stuffed into his hands, sighed heavily. “I don’t feel hungry. I’m not tired either. But you’re right. Ye Jian will worry about me when she sees me like this.”

“I’ll go back and change my clothes later. I should clean myself up and not let her worry.”

Commander Liu nodded. “Go back after you finish eating. If you’re tired, you can sleep at home. Leave Uncle to us. He has been serving the country his entire life and has dedicated his entire life to the team. Now that he’s sick, we should guard him and take care of him.”

The old man had never married in his entire life. He treated the young soldiers in the army as his children and treated the army as his home. At the last moment, his family must be there to watch over him.

Knowing that the old man’s lifespan was coming to an end, the military unit started making preparations too. According to the military’s instructions, they would hold a national burial ceremony for the old revolutionary, Lee Changgen, who had dedicated his entire life to the country. All military flags in the military unit will be flown at half-mast. All officers will take off their hats and stand in silent tribute.

Uncle Gen was in and out of consciousness. At this moment, he was in a deep sleep but the military doctor didn’t rest. Two military doctors and two nurses took turns on duty just in case.

Doctor Zhou from the town hospital, who was An Jiaxin’s mother, pulled her daughter who wanted to go to the ward and warned her in a low voice, “Don’t go over and cause trouble! If Ye Jian comes back, I will tell you! Lie on the bed! It’s already midnight. Do you want to sleep?”
