Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1414: Chapter 1414 Unclear Fate

”How so? Auntie, do you know her?” Lin Qiushu asked Zhang Yun, who had been muttering to herself.

”This name sounds somewhat familiar. It seems I’ve heard it somewhere before, but for the life of me, I can’t recall at this moment,” Zhang Yun shook her head.

Joy flared in Lin Qiushu’s eyes, ”Auntie, please try your hardest to remember. It’s related to an important matter in our family and is a wish my grandmother has been unable to fulfill for half a century.”

”Now that you mention it, I really must give it some thought,” Zhang Yun began to search her mind for this name, but it had appeared so fleetingly, she wasn’t sure it was the Jiu Xia Lin Qiushu was looking for.

And while the sound was correct, were the characters?

This was all hard to say.

Yet Zhang Yun didn’t want to disappoint Lin Qiushu, so she tried her best to recall where she had heard the name.

Memory isn’t something you can force by sheer effort.

Perhaps a sudden spark of inspiration would bring it to the surface.

Or perhaps it would remain elusive for a lifetime.

Seeing Zhang Yun struggle, Lin Qiushu truly felt sorry, ”Auntie, there’s no rush; don’t worry about remembering it all at this moment.”

”Oh, that’s good then. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely think hard on it for you,” Zhang Yun reassured Lin Qiushu, ”We will certainly do everything in our power to help you.”

”That would be wonderful. My grandmother will be so happy once she knows,” Lin Qiushu was also grateful to have met this family.

It seemed predestined; her ties with the Ning Family were becoming inextricably linked.

”I, too, hope your grandmother can soon put her mind at ease. She really hasn’t had it easy,” An Hao felt more empathetic towards Lin Qiushu’s grandmother after today’s events.

”Indeed,” Lin Qiushu added with emotion, ”The elder has been sustained all these years by this belief. I want her to fulfil her desire soon, but I fear that once it’s achieved, the sudden lack of support might...”

She didn’t finish her thought, but An Hao understood the implication.

”Actually, her heart has been in poor condition. Although she has other health issues, at the end of the day, her heart is the main concern,” An Hao said.

After sending the elder to the hospital last time, she had encountered Yan Ye once.

So she asked him about the old lady’s condition.

Yan Ye briefly explained that the problem was indeed with the heart.

A major surgery might be needed which, if successful, could extend her life by five or six years.

”I’m aware of that. Professor Yan and I discussed this matter, and he said that if my grandmother doesn’t have the surgery soon, it’s quite likely she won’t live much longer. But there are risks associated with the surgery, and no one can guarantee a hundred percent success rate. My grandmother is also worried about this... which is why she is reluctant to go through with it.”

No matter how much Lin Qiushu persuaded, the old lady was extremely stubborn.

She feared dying on the operating table and leaving her lifelong wish unfulfilled.

Therefore, she’d rather drag on until the end than easily agree to the surgery.

Every family has its own difficult issues to deal with.

An Hao completely understood Lin Qiushu’s anxious state of mind, ”Don’t worry too much. I’ll go and talk to Professor Yan and get a clearer idea. We’ll see what the chances are if the old lady goes through with the surgery!”
