Stealing Your Heart

After turning on the stove, Lin Xinyan prepared another bowl for Zong Jinghao to serve.

In the afternoon, Aunt Yu and Zhuang Zijin had prepared a feast for dinner. However, the food was barely touched as no one had any appetite.

This time, Zong Qifeng only ate two of the dumplings that Zong Jinghao brought in. He requested, “Ask… Yuwen to come in.”

Zong Jinghao told Cheng Yuwen that his father wanted to see him.

With reddened and misty eyes, Cheng Yuwen sat by the bedside. “Whatever instructions you have, just tell me.”

Zong Qifeng said, “I have something to tell you… once I’m gone, you will have to take care of them.”

Cheng Yuwen knew who he was talking about and replied, “Don’t worry. After all, isn’t your son Yuxiu’s son too? Your daughter-in-law and her children are also my relatives. As long as I’m around, I will definitely watch over them for you.”

Zong Qifeng nodded slightly to signal his satisfaction.

“I… am likely going to see her soon.”

His voice had lost its strength.

Cheng Yuwen held his hand. For some unknown reason, he began to tremble and seemed to have something to say. However, tears flowed in place of his words.

Zong Qifeng smiled faintly. “What are you crying for?”

Cheng Yuwen wiped his face. Despite his advanced age, he still wasn’t able to control his emotions. He replied, “I don’t want to but I just can’t help myself.”

Zong Qifeng could feel it coming and he was ready. “Won’t everyone reach this stage one day?”

Life and death is part of nature. No one can change it.
