Chapter 139 Withering(2/3)
Just a few years ago, Chen An's second son Chen Mingjue also got married, and now he has two children.
As for the eldest son Chen Mingxiu? His oldest child is almost ten years old.
People in this era get married very early. If it takes another five or six years, Chen An might become Grandpa Zeng. It’s scary to think about it.
In this context, being in your fifties is actually not a young age.
In the spacious courtyard, Chen An was accompanying the fourth princess.
"Feeling better?"
In the room, Chen An gently pressed the fourth princess's shoulder and spoke gently.
In front of him, the fourth princess lay quietly in his arms,
This was originally a very harmonious scene, but at this moment it seemed inexplicably inconsistent.
Counting his age, Chen An is also in his fifties.
However, due to his profound cultivation and attention to health, his hair is still black now. Although his appearance has changed compared to the past, and his eyes have a little more vicissitudes, he still looks like he is in his early twenties.
Time seems to have left no trace on him, so that even now, there is still not much change.
Chen An looks much younger than her peers, but the fourth princess is different.
Perhaps because of her serious illness, she is now old and looks like an old woman.
On the surface, they look like two generations.
If outsiders looked at it, they would probably think it was inconsistent.
But Chen An had already gotten used to it, so he didn't think anything was wrong with the fourth princess in his arms.
After all, no matter how old she is, she is still his wife, right?
"Feeling...better...
The fourth princess in her arms nodded, her voice seemed a little hoarse and weak.
She seemed a little uncomfortable and kept frowning.
Chen An wanted to try his best to help her, and the Gang Qi in his body was slowly transported, but it could only delay the pain of the fourth princess.
After all, he is not a doctor, and the Gang Qi in his body is not omnipotent. At most, it can only delay the pain, but cannot cure the disease.
"The flowers seem to be blooming
After a moment, the fourth princess looked up with some confusion on her face: "It's just that this year's flowers don't seem to be as fragrant...actually they still have the same fragrance.
Just because she is older and seriously ill, the fourth princess's senses have gradually slowed down.
Chen An said softly: "Maybe it's the flowers.'
"I went to see it a few days ago. The flowers outside seemed to be sick and withered a lot.'
"Can flowers also get sick?" the fourth princess asked with a smile.
"Of course it will.'
Chen An nodded.
In the past days, when he had free time, he would occasionally go out for sightseeing, take the four princesses to see the scenery, or teach his grandchildren, or go to the palace to see Cheng Zheng, and meet a few old friends.
Let’s chat for a while.
But after the fourth princess became ill, he put all these things aside and concentrated on staying with her.
This would make her happier.
The days of companionship passed by for a few more months.
The fourth princess's body became increasingly weak.
Doctors and doctors from various places, as long as they were somewhat famous, were invited by Chen An.
Except for some treatment plans that were too outrageous, Chen An had tried all other decent methods.
But it's no use.
After all, the medical level in this world is still quite poor.
Although he has strong martial arts, other aspects are incomparable with his previous life.
Moreover, even in Chen An's previous life, not all diseases could be cured.
All options have been tried, but in the end nothing worked.
In the end, the fourth princess herself became a little fed up, and instinctively began to reject those treatment plans.
For her, these treatments were more like suffering than healing.
In the end, Chen An could only follow her wishes.
Perhaps it was a reflection of the past, or perhaps she was in a better mood. In these last moments, the fourth princess's health actually showed signs of improvement.
But Chen An was not happy.
Because he already knows the final outcome
Sure enough, another month later, the fourth princess's body suddenly collapsed and she lay directly on the bed. It was difficult to even move. At this point, everyone knew clearly that the fourth princess was about to die.
On the night before leaving, in front of the hospital bed, the fourth princess was a little confused, but she still held Chen An's hand tightly.
She was whispering, talking about the past, especially the first encounter with Chen An, which she mentioned again and again.
"When you were in the Imperial College, did you already think about it, that you wanted to get to know my imperial brother through me?'
The fourth princess asked in a low voice.
"yes."
Chen An nodded.
"In your eyes at that time...was I stupid?"
"There is a point in speaking frankly.'
Chen Anxiao: "Not only is he stupid, but he also likes to cause trouble. He always causes trouble."
The fourth princess suddenly regained consciousness and glared at Chen An.
That is to say, her body is too weak, otherwise according to her temperament, she would probably get up from the bed at this time and give Chen An a hard beating.
In the room, small sounds kept ringing
Questions came out of the fourth princess's mouth one after another, and were then answered by Chen An.
The voices of both echoed.
But what is very obvious is that the fourth princess's voice is getting smaller and smaller.
At the end of the day, if Chen An hadn't had amazing hearing, he might have been unable to hear clearly.
The voice gradually became lower and more blurry.
Until a certain moment, the sound in front of you completely disappears
Chen An grabbed the fourth princess's hand and tentatively called her name several times.
no reply,
Unconsciously, the palm he held seemed to have become cold.
There is no temperature.
Chen An suddenly raised his head, looking a little dazed.
A strong sense of uneasiness and hesitation came from my heart.
Did the person who was with him day and night just leave him so far?
Is it true that I can never see the person in my memory again?
That night, Chen An did not sleep.
He has never experienced a similar feeling since he came to this world.
In the past, he could remain calm no matter what situation he faced.
Because he knows that he is just a projection, and this world is nothing to him.
Even if he really dies, the worst he can do is return to his true form.
So in the past, his mood has always remained calm.
But today, this calm has finally been broken.
He has seen many dead people and even killed many with his own hands.
But only this time the death of the fourth princess gave him a real feeling.
People will eventually die,
His relatives, friends, and children are all mortal.
