Commander Xia thought about how Old Master Fu fell and was hospitalized for surgery. The number of family members accompanying the old master could be counted with three fingers. Then, he thought about Grandpa Xia and Old Madam Xia at the old residence. He didn’t plan to return to the old residence at first, but when Old Master Fu was pushed out of the operating room, he said a few words to Xia Jinyuan and reminded him to take good care of Old Master Fu before rushing back to the old residence overnight.

In August, the moon was bright and clear in the capital city. The crescent moon hung high in the sky and sprinkled cold light on the ground. Grandpa Xia and Old Madam Xia, who were sitting in the gazebo in their backyard. They each sat on a rocking chair. They admired the moon and chatted.

Young couples were usually constantly by each other’s side. When they were old and were husband and wife, they would chat about family matters and occasionally argue. These days were leisurely.

Commander Xia’s sudden return and the butler’s announcement gave Old Master and Old Madam Xia a shock. They thought that something had happened that required Commander Xia to run back to the old residence so late at night.

When Old Master Fu was mentioned, Grandpa Xia didn’t say anything for a long time.

After hearing Commander Xia say that he had arranged for Little Six to accompany him to take care of the old man, the silent Grandpa Xia nodded and said in a lonely voice, “That’s the right thing to do. Your Uncle Fu has been aloof from worldly affairs for his entire life. He and your aunt have dedicated their entire lives to the country. Now that he’s old… he needs to be taken good care of.

“You did very well. Let Little Six accompany him more. The reason why there are so few people in the Fu family is because times were tough at that time. It’s this country that… owes your Uncle Fu.”

Every word hit the listener’s heart like thallium, suffocating them. Even Commander Xia’s breathing felt stagnant.

Commander Xia nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll make arrangements. I won’t let Old Master Fu be short-changed. I’ll send two guards over tomorrow and arrange for a nurse to serve him. After Little Ye and Little Six leave, let them take over immediately.”

“Okay, settle this matter properly. Also, get the butler to arrange a car. I’ll go to the hospital with your mother tomorrow morning to visit.” When he heard that his best friend had fallen and needed surgery, Grandpa Xia’s mood dropped a lot. He didn’t have the mood to admire the moon and chat anymore. He stood up and said to Old Madam Ye, “Let’s go back to the house. I’m old now.”

Hearing that, she panicked.

“Get up slowly. Take it easy.” The old madam had a nervous expression on her face. Old couples had each other to accompany them. How good would it be to have a companion when they were old?

If Sister Dingxiang hadn’t left, Old Fu wouldn’t be so lonely. At least he would have a companion.

Commander Xia supported the old madam while the butler supported the old master. They returned to the house one after another. When the old master and the old madam fell asleep, Commander Xia stood in the courtyard until the lights in the room went out. Then, he turned around and left.

He had to come back more often to see his old parents.

Xia Jinyuan said the same thing to Ye Jian. “Come back more often to accompany Grandpa in the future. Be it me or you, as long as we return to the capital city, we can come over to accompany Grandpa.”

“Yes.” Ye Jian sniffed her nose, which was a little stuffy. She sat beside the bed with Xia Jinyuan and accompanied the old master who had not woken up due to the anesthesia.

Neither of them realized that Mr. Fu was standing outside the ward. He frowned as they looked at the two people guarding the ward. Why did he feel that… something was off?

Li Jinnian, who went to the nurses’ station, came back carrying two blankets over. Mr. Fu asked him, “Jinnian, do you think there’s something going on between your cousin and her captain?”
