Chapter 1773: Chapter 102: Tall Trees in the South

She touched Qiao Bin’s forehead with her small hand. It was icy cold, with no warmth at all. Could it be that he didn’t cover himself with a blanket last night and caught a cold?

He’s an adult now, how could he be so careless?

Remembering that Dad was drunk last night, it was probably because of the alcohol, so it could be forgiven.

Looking at Qiao Bin, Qiao Qiao spoke very seriously, "Dad, you can’t be like this anymore in the future."

...

She just sat there, keeping watch over Dad, obediently waiting for Grandma to return.

After Madam Qiaoqiao called 120 on the landline, she arrived there quickly. Looking at Qiao Qiao sitting there waiting for Dad to wake up, she couldn’t even dare to imagine how Qiao Bin was doing; she just felt her vision go black and fainted.

Hearing the "thud" as Grandma fell to the ground, Qiao Qiao turned her head towards Grandma.

Dad and Grandma——

Left hand is Grandma, right hand is Dad!

She played rock-paper-scissors with herself, left hand scissors, right hand paper!

Well then, go take care of Grandma.

Qiao Qiao climbed out of bed, looked at the fainted old lady, and suddenly froze, not knowing how to take care of her.

After a few minutes, she spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, "Grandma, let me tell you a story, once upon a time, there was a Snow White..."

...

She didn’t know how long had passed, she was still telling the story, and many uncles and aunts in white uniforms came to the house.

She was just telling the story while watching the uncles and aunts carry Dad and Grandma out, and followed them to the hospital.

Later, an uncle said Dad was dead.

But she didn’t know what dead meant, asked many uncles and aunts, but didn’t understand.

It wasn’t until Grandma woke up and told her that Dad had gone to another world, he was just temporarily gone.

She kept asking Grandma why Dad went to another world.

Grandma cried, and she cried too.

Later, Mom came, found out Dad was dead, and had no reaction.

She remembered clearly, Grandma cried and argued with Mom, and she went to beg Mom not to fight with Grandma.

Mom angrily pushed her away, making the back of her head hit the door corner heavily, immediately forming a pea-sized bump.

Since she was little, it was the first time Mom had hit her.

She cried loudly, one cry after another, each longer and more aggrieved than the last.

In her cries, Grandma and Mom finally stopped arguing.

Grandma picked her up and didn’t say another word. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Mom left and didn’t come home for a long time.

She obviously felt the strength in Grandma’s embrace gradually weakening.

At that time, she always felt that one day Dad would come back, that Dad would return from another world to see her, always waiting for Dad, and often went alone to places she and Dad had been to find him.

Once, she left and didn’t come back until evening. Grandma couldn’t find her anywhere, anxiously beat her with a broom on her bum, "What if you run into bad people when you go out like this?"

"Qiao Qiao, don’t you know there are many bad people outside? Scammers, child traffickers, organ sellers..."

As she talked, Grandma cried, "Don’t go looking for your Dad anymore, he’s dead, and he won’t ever come back again!"

She cried, and Grandma cried even more sorrowfully.

In the end, it was her and Grandma holding each other and crying, the more they cried, the more upset they became.

Dad was really never coming back, why wasn’t he coming back? Could it be that the other world is very nice?

If that’s the case, why didn’t Dad take her with him?

Did Dad not want her anymore?

Why, she was obviously so obedient!

Thinking about how she was always well-behaved, Mom didn’t like her and didn’t want her, and now Dad didn’t want her either, Qiao Qiao cried heartbreakingly, becoming more and more sad, crying out loud.
