Bye, My Irresistible Love

George's POV:

I didn't get to see Grandpa in his last moments alive.

I walked towards the ward, but right as I reached the door, I took a step back and didn't dare go forward.

My parents were inside the ward and the whole floor was full of relatives and family friends who came to visit.

The atmosphere was very heavy.

No one spoke.

After what seemed like forever, my mother emerged from the room.

She staggered towards me, her eyes brimming with tears.

"George, come in and see your grandfather,"

she sobbed.

Several relatives beside me suddenly burst into tears.

Soon, the sound of sobbing spread to the corridor.

lentered the room and slowly strode across the floor towards Grandpa's bed.

I bowed my head to him as he lay on the bed.

I didn't say anything, for I didn't know what to say.

Grandpa's eyes were closed peacefully, as if he was asleep.

In just three years, we had been separated forever.

My mother stood next to me.

She looked like she wanted to say something, but I just avoided her gaze and ignored her.

Not long after, my parents began preparations for my grandfather's funeral.

I rarely saw them.

When Grandpa was alive, he once said that he didn't want a grand funeral.

However, my parents had other plans.

According to them, Grandpa kept a low profile all his life.

Now that he had left, he deserved a big funeral.

The news of my grandfather's death immediately spread throughout the country.
