Chapter 2465: No Loss (3)

But humans were greedy beings. Watching the children grow up day by day, Miao Jing couldn’t help but wish that she would be able to watch them enter primary school, middle school, high school, and even university.

If she lived longer, she might even get to see her great-grandchildren!

When Old Master Zhai had left, Zhai Sheng had already been thirty. If Zhai Sheng had married at a normal age, Old Master Zhai would definitely have been able to meet his great-grandchild before leaving. His great-grandchild would even have been of school-going age!

But at that time, they didn’t even have an inkling of the whereabouts of that great-grandchild’s mother, let alone having one of school-going age.

Old Master Zhai had left to meet Grandma Zhai with that regret.

Miao Jing, who was in poor health, was often heartbroken. She didn’t even know if she would get a chance to see her grandchildren start primary school, let alone meet her great-grandchildren.

As such, Miao Jing was unwilling to waste any time while she was still alive. Even if it was just an additional second with her grandchildren, it was what she deserved.

“I know that in principle, but you know my temper well too. Look how obedient our grandchildren are. I can’t bear to leave them. I was just a pure and innocent young lady when I married you, but I’m already an ugly hen now.”

Miao Jing felt that it was unfair how quickly time had passed and how she had aged.

Miao Jing was aggrieved. “Old Zhai, how many more years do you think we have? All I want is to see the three children grow up. Why does it seem so difficult?” Why couldn’t the heavens give her just a little more time?

After helping Miao Jing relax her body, Zhai Yaohui took Miao Jing into his embrace like a young lady. “Why are you crying? What’s so weird about having illnesses and pains at our age? Instead of letting your mind run wild and being afraid that you’ll die early and not be able to see the children, why don’t you just relax at home with me? Do you really think you can endure this for much longer? Only by taking care of our bodies will we be able to live for another few more years. Wouldn’t that be worth it?”

“Really?” Miao Jing looked at Zhai Yaohui. “Will I really be able to live for another few more years if I stay at home with you?”

“Of course!” Zhai Yaohui replied confidently. “Of course, you will!” He had to say so even if he didn’t
