"You and your mom want to see my joke, right?"
"I won't let you see it."
"I..."
I opened my mouth to speak, but my dad interrupted me.
"Alright, you can go out now."
My dad waved his hand, impatiently saying, "I need to rest."
"Okay."
I nodded and turned to leave.
As I passed by my grandfather, I stopped.
I stared into my dad's eyes and said calmly, "Dad, do you know what retribution means?"
"What do you mean?"
My dad was taken aback for a moment, his brows furrowing.
I looked at him and pronounced each word clearly: "Retribution means a life for a life."
"You..."
My dad opened his mouth as if he wanted to scold me.
I ignored him and turned to walk out.
"Bah, what a thing."
My dad cursed fiercely.
He didn't look at me but shouted at my grandfather, "You tell Song Ning to send the alimony over."
"If it delays my medication, I won't let her off."
"Okay."
My grandfather nodded quickly in agreement.
As I was leaving the hospital room, he grabbed my arm and whispered, "Ning Ning, you should send the alimony over."
"You don't want to lose your job, do you?"
"Heh."
I sneered and ignored him, turning to leave.
"You..."
Grandpa's face turned pale with anger, his whole body trembling.
I walked to the door and suddenly stopped.
I turned my head, looked at Grandpa, and said softly, "Grandpa, you need to take good care of my dad."
"He just had surgery and can't eat anything."
"If something goes wrong, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"You..."
Grandpa opened his mouth as if he wanted to scold me.
I stared at him coldly and continued, "If anything happens, you'll truly become a murderer."
"You..."
Grandpa pointed at me, his body shaking.
I let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
As soon as I stepped out of the hospital, I heard the announcement.
"Emergency notice, emergency notice."
"Patient in bed thirty-two has developed postoperative complications and is currently being rescued."
"Family members please rush to the scene."
"You..."
Grandpa stood at the door, and upon hearing this, his face instantly turned pale.
He pointed at me and trembled as he said, "Did you know all along?"
"Yes," I nodded without hiding it.
"You..."
Grandpa opened his mouth again, seemingly wanting to scold me.
I leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "This is retribution."
"Your son is dead because of you."
Grandpa pointed at me, stumbling slightly and almost falling.
I let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
At eight in the evening, my dad passed away due to ineffective resuscitation after being forbidden to eat or drink post-surgery.
After my dad's death, my mom inherited the estate and bought a new house.
As for Grandpa and me, we lived separately.
Recently, I returned on behalf of my mom to discuss the ownership of the house.
At that moment, Song Kang came back with his girlfriend Liu Tian to attend the funeral.
Liu Tian was resting while Grandpa, as usual, began to bother Liu Tian.
"Sweetheart, it's already past nine, why aren't you up to make breakfast?"
"You can't be this lazy."
Grandpa held a mop, dragging it across the floor while speaking sarcastically.
"Grandpa, keep your voice down."
Song Kang frowned, looking impatient.
"Liu Tian works night shifts and needs her rest."
"Don't disturb her."
"Oh come on, what's wrong with working night shifts?"
Grandpa snorted coldly, his tone showing some dissatisfaction.
"I’m old and I don’t complain about being tired; why should a young person like her be tired?"
Saying this, he deliberately raised his voice, making deep scratches on the floor with the mop.
"Grandpa, keep your voice down!"
Song Kang furrowed his brows and couldn't help but scold him: "Can't you see Liu Tian is sleeping?"
"What? Is my mopping bothering her?"
Grandpa snorted again and started hitting the ground with the mop.
The "thud thud" sound was irritating.
