    In the early morning of the next day, Xia Liang was still asleep when she was woken up by a ringing phone. He answered the phone in a daze, and after a few seconds, he instantly came to his senses.

    Zhou Shuo, who was beside him, opened Xia Xia's legs that had been pressing against his chest at some point, and turned to see Xia Liang sitting on the bedside with his mobile phone without making a sound, so he half-stands up and asks, "Brother Liang, What's up?"

    "Xiao Lin called and said that grandma was seriously ill..." Xia Liang's voice sounded a little hollow, but she remained calm, and turned to Zhou Shuo and said, "I have to get back to City B as soon as possible."

    Zhou Shuo immediately rolled over and got out of bed: "I'll go with you." After speaking, he lowered his head and called to Xia Xia.

    Xia Liang originally wanted him to stay with Xia Xia, but after thinking about it, after listening to Xia Lin's anxious tone, grandma probably doesn't have much time, Xia Xia...have to take it back to meet grandma.

    Xia Xia was still a child after all, and she only slept for a few hours and couldn't wake up at all. So Zhou Shuo directly carried Xia Xia on his back, and went out the door together with their little luggage.

    The three of them drove on the expressway leading to City B. At this time, Xia Liang realized that the expressway was quiet before dawn, but there was a sedan behind them, keeping a distance of more than ten meters.

    Zhou Shuo noticed Xia Liang's frequent glances in the rearview mirror, put one hand on the back of his hand, and patted lightly: "Don't worry, that's my person." Xia Liang was stunned at first, but then quickly understood Come here, I am afraid this is the "uncles under Dad's" in Xia Xia's mouth.

    He was a little strange before, even if Zhou Shuo joined the ABO family, even if Zhou Shuo took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of supervising Xia Xia, but with the style of the Neville family, how could he really rest assured that the father and daughter would come back alone to visit relatives.

    And the people in the car behind, although they are Zhou Shuo's subordinates, I am afraid they are also taking into account the duties of supervising their father and daughter. When we arrived at City B, the sky was already bright.

    Zhou Shuo found that after Xia Liang got off the expressway, he did not go in the direction of the Xia family's old house, but went directly in the direction of Song Yan's villa. "What, the old lady doesn't live in the old house now?" Zhou Shuo asked.

    Xia Liang nodded and was silent for a moment before saying: "My dad... two years ago, he had a brain hemorrhage and he walked in a hurry." He paused, "Grandma couldn't take the blow for a while, her mood was depressed, and her body and bones gradually became weaker than before. Now, Xia Lin will take her to live with them, so that they can take care of her."

    Zhou Shuo was taken aback. He did not expect that after four years of separation, Father Xia had passed away. If Mrs. Xia were to die with her now, the Xia family would only be left with two brothers, Xia Liang and Xia Lin.

    I just heard Xia Liang continue: "Last month, grandma accidentally fell when she was going down the stairs. The old man is most afraid of bumps. At that time, the doctor diagnosed that her cerebral blood vessels were not very good. It's the same problem. After I learned the news, I rushed to the hospital and took turns to take care of her with Xiaolin, but she was clamoring to be discharged from the hospital. I thought she had discovered this problem early, and if she took good care of her, at least it could be delayed for a while. For a while, I didn't expect that it was only a month..."

    Zhou Shuo knew that it was futile to persuade him to do anything at this time, so he just held his hand tightly and didn't speak any more. When the car drove into the villa area, Xia Lin and Song Yan were already waiting for them at the door.

    Seeing two people getting out of a car at the same time, Xia Lin was stunned for a moment. When he saw Zhou Shuo's face clearly, he was speechless with excitement. On the other hand, Song Yan reacted quickly. He took the first two steps to look at Zhou Shuo and asked, "When did you come back?"

    "Last night." Zhou Shuo said, taking Xia Xia out of the car and asking her to greet everyone. Xia Xia just woke up, rubbed her eyes and said, "Hello, uncle, uncle."

    "... Xia Lin, who suddenly became an uncle, didn't react for a while.

    Zhou Shuo patted Xia Xia's head lightly and reminded: "Have you forgotten again, it should be called uncle, uncle."

    "Oh, uncle, uncle." Xia Xia changed her words very obediently.

    "It turned out to be Xia Xia!" Xia Lin finally realized the origin of the little girl, and didn't care whether he was "uncle" or "uncle", and reached out: hug Xia Xia.

    He and Song Yan have been married for many years, and have no plans to adopt a child yet. There are no toys or snacks for children at home. Song Yan rummaged through the box for a long time before finding out a few candies and stuffing them into Xia Xia.

    Xia Xia was also obedient. Although she felt that a few candies were not uncommon, she honestly took them and thanked them. After the four briefly exchanged a few words, Xia Lin took them to the old lady's bedroom on the second floor. At this time, Mrs. Xia was already lying on the bed, irritated.

    Xia Lin leaned into Mrs. Xia's ear and whispered, "Grandma, brother is here to see you." Mrs. Xia's eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

    Xia Liang sat down beside her bed and gently held her slightly raised hand.

    "...Ah," Mrs. Xia said with difficulty, "grandmother... the one who worries me the most... is you."

    Xia Liang's eyes were hot, and she was about to cry. He closed his eyes, forced the tears back, pulled out a smile and said, "Grandma, look, I brought your great-granddaughter."

    He said, holding Xia Xia's hand to the side of the bed.

    Xia Xia is also a clever child. When she met old Mrs. Xia, she said crisply, "Hello, grandma, I'm Xia Xia."

    "Huh?" The old lady Xia was taken aback, looked Xia Xia up and down for a long time, and her eyes clearly showed a strange brilliance, "This...is this Xiaoliang's child?"

    "Yes, grandma." Xia Liang said, "The child was in exile before, but Zhou Shuo found him recently. I haven't told you before, I'm sorry." The old lady Xia asked again: "This child's mother is... "

    Before Xia Liang could speak, she heard Xia Xia say: "Grandma, I don't have a mother, only my father... and my uncle—she didn't dare to say the second half of this sentence.

    However, the old lady Xia understood that the mother of the child had died for some reason, and immediately held Xia Xia's hand for a while with pity, and muttered with tears in her eyes: "Okay, it's good to find it back... Xiaoliang is really a little...it's really hard for the child, she has suffered so much outside...grandmother wants to spend more time with Xiaxia, but unfortunately my grandmother doesn't have much time..."

    I don't know how these words touched Xia Xia, and she fell on the bed and cried for a while.

    When she cried, the old lady Xia hurriedly tried to appease her, and she no longer wanted to investigate the background of the child's mother. She thought that she could still see her great-granddaughter when she was dying, which was a great fortune among misfortunes .

    Thinking of this, most of the worries in the old lady's heart disappeared, and after a while, she passed away peacefully in her sleep this afternoon.
