After finishing these few sentences, Xu Zhiye left the ward along with Xu Mao, courteously leaving the words, "Old Master, take great care of yourself" before he departed.
Once Xu Zhiye had gone, the ward suddenly lapsed into silence.
It was quite a while before Old Master Ye finally took Madam Ye by the hand and began to speak, "Everyone leave, I have some words I wish to speak with Yiyi alone."
Madam Ye nodded and then left the ward with tears in her eyes.
Now, only Xia Weiyi and Old Master Ye were left in the entire room.
The atmosphere became heavy, so oppressive that Xia Weiyi felt like she could hardly breathe.
Thinking to herself that she would inevitably be scolded, she became nervous, keeping her head down, not daring to look into her grandfather's sharp eyes, simply fidgeting with her fingers and biting her lips.
Time trickled past by the minute and second; a long time had passed, yet her grandfather said nothing.
