It was from the Sheng family's private hospital.
"Old Master Sheng is in critical condition… We advise all family members to come soon, so that there'll be no regrets…"
An Xiaxia saw the teenager who had been lazily teasing her suddenly sway and almost drop the phone. Panic was all over his face.
"What's wrong?" She panicked with him.
Sheng Yize put away his phone and walked to the door. He then realized he wasn't wearing his shoes and came back to put them on. After that, he clutched An Xiaxia's hand.
"Xiaxia… my grandpa…" He stopped abruptly almost as soon as he started talking. An Xiaxia realized what happened right away and wrapped her fingers around his hand. "He's going to be fine… Sheng Yize, pull yourself together! Is he in the hospital? We'll go there now!"

The hospital.
The smell of disinfectant filled the air and everything was white, despairingly white.
