Chapter 129 Don't leave me, you're all I have left.
The next day after school, Yuan Bao went to Deng Jinjun's house again.
Just as Yuan Bao reached the gate of the compound, he saw a crowd gathered in front of him. It seemed that an old lady had fainted. Yuan Bao took a closer look and thought she looked familiar. Wasn't that Deng Jinjun's grandmother?
Yuan Bao rushed over and saw that Deng Jinjun's mother had a flushed face, furrowed brows, and a sickly aura emanating from her body.
Yuan Bao's heart tightened suddenly. Without thinking, he quickly took out a mid-level recovery pill from his pocket, which was actually from his spatial storage. He gently pried open Grandma Deng's mouth and carefully fed it to her.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly extended her fingers and placed them on Grandma Deng's wrist to take her pulse.
After a careful diagnosis, Yuan Bao frowned even more deeply. She determined that Grandma Deng's heart failure led to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and coupled with excessive emotional stress, she had fallen into a coma. Her condition was critical, and she should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
Fortunately, thanks to the effects of the intermediate recovery pills, Grandma Deng's eyelids twitched slightly, and she soon slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, Yuan Bao's anxious expression eased slightly, and he asked softly, "Grandma, how did you fall here? Where is Deng Jinjun?"
Grandma Deng looked at Yuan Bao with a somewhat confused expression and asked in a puzzled tone, "Who are you?"
“Grandma, I’m Deng Jinjun’s classmate. I just happened to be passing by today and saw you…” Yuan Bao explained patiently, her eyes full of concern.
"Oh, okay, thank you. Please help me home first!" Grandma Deng's voice was weak, but her attitude was very polite.
Yuan Bao didn't dare to delay and quickly asked a kind-hearted auntie present for help. The two of them carefully helped Grandma Deng up and slowly walked towards Grandma Deng's house.
After arriving home and settling Grandma Deng in, Yuan Bao thanked the aunt and then turned back to Grandma Deng's side.
Grandma Deng looked at Yuan Bao, tears welling up in her eyes, and slowly began to explain what had happened: "Xiao Jun's father came back just now, and I don't know why, but the two of them had another big fight. His father slammed the door and left, and Xiao Jun ran out angrily as well."
I was worried about him, and in my anxiety, I chased after him to the gate of the compound, then everything went black, and I knew nothing more.
Yuan Bao listened with a heart full of worry. She gently held Grandma Deng's hand and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll go out and look for Deng Jinjun."
"Please rest well at home. If you feel unwell, please contact me immediately." After saying this, Yuan Bao left his contact information and was about to go find Deng Jinjun.
Rewind half an hour, and Deng Jinjun and his father had a heated argument. Angry words pierced between the two like sharp arrows, each word filled with long-suppressed conflicts and grievances.
Finally, the father slammed the door shut and stormed out. The loud noise echoed in the silent room, shattering Deng Jinjun's last shred of reason.
Enraged, Deng Jinjun, his chest heaving, rushed out the door without hesitation, determined to catch up with his father and demand an explanation.
He ran wildly, his steps hurried and chaotic, kicking pebbles that flew everywhere, as if reflecting his inner state at that moment.
The scenery on both sides of the street flashed by like phantoms, and his eyes were only on the figure in front of him that was gradually moving further and further away.
As the distance closed, Deng Jinjun's breathing became more and more rapid, and heavy panting echoed in my ears.
His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, each beat accompanied by intense pain.
His bangs were already soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to his cheeks, which were flushed red from anger and running, making him feel suffocated.
For some reason, a strong sense of unease surged into his heart like a tide. The more he ran, the more he felt that he was heading towards an unknown abyss and was about to lose something extremely precious.
This feeling gradually slowed his pace, and the fear in his heart, like a surging wave, completely overwhelmed him.
Just as his consciousness was fading and he was about to be swallowed by despair, his grandmother's kind and gentle face was like a beam of warm light, instantly illuminating his chaotic heart.
Deng Jinjun abruptly stopped, a flicker of panic and regret flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't lose his grandmother, and he couldn't let her worry and feel sad anymore.
This thought struck him like a hammer blow, waking him from his confusion.
Without hesitation, he turned around and sprinted home.
Seeing the crowd gathered in front of his house in the distance, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart. His heart clenched instantly, and he rushed towards his house without thinking.
"Grandma, Grandma!" Deng Jinjun cried, his voice trembling in the air, his eyes instantly blurring with tears.
He rushed forward, his legs buckled, and he knelt down in front of his grandmother with a thud, tightly hugging her legs as if he were holding onto his last support in this world.
Grandma Deng, who had been anxiously looking towards the door, immediately lowered her head upon hearing the call.
Seeing her grandson kneeling in front of her, a wave of heartache washed over her, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She raised her hand and gently patted Deng Jinjun's shoulder, her hand trembling slightly: "You child, you're really making this old woman sick with worry! If something happens to you, how can this old woman live?" Her voice was choked with sobs, every word filled with worry and love for her grandson.
Deng Jinjun buried his face in his grandmother's lap, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, soaking his grandmother's trouser legs.
His body trembled violently as he choked out, "Grandma, Grandma, I was wrong. I'll never be naughty again. Don't leave me, you're all I have left."
At this moment, he was filled with remorse. Those rebellious past events and those impulsive moments all turned into deep self-reproach.
Grandma Deng's hands trembled as she gently stroked Deng Jinjun's head; her gray hair appeared even more striking in the dim light.
She let out a long sigh, her voice filled with weariness and helplessness: "Alas! My poor child!"
Her fingers gently combed through her grandson's hair, as if comforting a wounded little animal. "Don't pay attention to your dad anymore. Now that your parents have separated, no matter how much you make a fuss, things won't go back to the way they were before."
Don't worry, I still have some savings for my funeral; enough to pay for your studies. You must study hard so you can have a bright future. Don't run away in a huff again, okay?
Deng Jinjun raised his head, his face streaked with tears, and looked at his grandmother with firm eyes: "Grandma, I understand. I will definitely listen to you, study hard, and never worry you again."
His eyes held an unprecedented firmness, a promise to the future and a deep love for his grandmother.
Yuan Bao stood aside, watching the grandfather and grandson, his heart filled with bitterness.
She stepped forward and said softly, "Grandma, Deng Jinjun, don't be too sad. Deng Jinjun, your grandma is right, studying is the way to change your destiny."
You must cheer up and stop making Grandma worry about you.
Deng Jinjun raised his head, looked at Yuan Bao, and a determined look flashed in his eyes: "Yuan Bao, thank you. I will definitely listen to Grandma and study hard."
This family turmoil was like a storm, shattering Deng Jinjun's life, but it was also like a heavy hammer, slapping him awake.
Having survived this ordeal, Deng Jinjun seemed to have been reborn, becoming a completely different person.
The rebellious, impulsive, and aimless teenager has disappeared, replaced by a calm and self-respecting young man.
His eyes no longer held the confusion and restlessness of the past, but instead showed more determination and focus.
Since then, Deng Jinjun seems to have been infused with a completely new soul, devoting all his energy to his studies without reservation.
For him, knowledge was no longer dry words and formulas, but the key to a brand new life and the confidence to give his grandmother a stable future.
