Wilfred decided not to have the surgery and to let nature take its course.
"Grandpa, you'll be fine." Rose comforted Wilfred as well as herself.
Bright held her shoulders, silently supporting and comforting her.
Wilfred also knew Rose was comforting him. But he was calm and wasn't sad and worried at all.
"Rose, I am glad to see that you and Bright are together and have a happy family. Knowing that I have a lovely great-granddaughter, I feel satisfied. At my age, it does not matter and I feel no regrets."
Wilfred's words made Rose's eyes even redder. She wanted to cry.
"Rose, don't cry. I am really fine. Your Grandma has gone so many years. I have seen this world more than her. I've lived alone for so many years and want to go and stay with her. This time, I can do what I want to do."
"Grandpa, but I am loath to part with you." Rose held Wilfred's hand.
"Me too. But in life, give to get. So, Rose, don't be sad. I am fine. It's really good to have you guys with me. I just want to face everything happily and calmly. Rose, forgive me." Wilfred was open-minded and comforted Rose.
Rose looked down and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
Wilfred's decision to forgo surgery meant that his health would get worse and worse. He might collapse at any time.
Rose didn't want to face such a thing and the parting.
"Grandpa, don't say that." Although Rose wanted Wilfred to accept the surgery to have a higher chance of survival, she also knew that Wilfred had his own ideas, "Grandpa, I am really loath to part with you. But since you have decided to do so, then I respect your decision."
Rose endured the pain and struggle inside, and respected Wilfred's decision.
"Good girl." Wilfred smiled happily and turned to Bright, extending his wrinkled hand.
Bright put his hand out. Wilfred took Rose's hand and placed it in Bright's palm.
"Bright, if I die, please take good care of Rose. I am very relieved to leave her to you. I just hope she can be happy forever."
"Grandpa, making her happy forever is my goal in this life. Don't worry. As long as I am with her, I will never let her cry for sadness."
Bright looked at Rose beside him, his eyes full of tenderness. Rose also looked at him.
Although her lover was at her side and she was now very happy, she still did not want her relative die. It was really painful.
Wilfred was relieved, "Bright, Rose is a kind-hearted girl. But she is also capricious sometimes. I hope you can tolerate her and never give up on her. She will be a good wife. Don't worry about that. I promise."
"Grandpa, I believe in you. I believe in Rose's character and my vision." Bright grabbed Rose's fingers, "Grandpa, I know even if you do not say so."
"We also have to do our best to fulfill all of Grandpa's wishes and let him have no regrets. That's what we should do now."
"You are right. I'll listen to you." Since this was what Wilfred wanted, they should respect him. As long as Wilfred was happy, Rose was willing to do whatever she could do, "Then you invite those foreign experts for nothing, right?"
"I don't think so. Although Grandpa won't be operated on, they can offer other plans to let Grandpa live longer and relieve his pain." Bright reached out and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Bright, thank you for everything you've done for me and for Grandpa."
"Do you want to repay me?" Bright raised his eyebrows slightly and came closer to Rose, "Then let's have another baby."
"..." Rose widened her bright eyes in shock.
Did he have to talk like that? Words failed Rose.
"What do you think?" Bright pumped her.
"Why do you want to have another child? Don't you like Doris? I think it is enough for us to have Doris." Rose had never considered to have another child. When Bright brought it up again and again, she had to answer.
"Doris is too lonely. If we have another child, they can play and grow up together. When we're gone, they will be the closest people to each other in the world. They can help and support each other and won't be bullied, right? They also will not be alone because of our death. And there is another important reason..."
"What is it?" Rose was curious.
