Ji Jingxu is still young and does not have enough strength to defend against Ji Chu Hua or any of the other people trying to take over the company. With this thought, he decided to pass the position down to Yue Ling. Even though she already has three other companies to take care of, he knows that she is the only person Ji Chu Hua and her father will never be able to take down.

When she agreed to take over the chairman position, he was indeed happy and at ease. However, despite feeling this way, a part of him could see through her true reason for accepting.

She is going to take over Ji Corps for the mean time until Ji Jingxu is old enough then pass the position over to him.

Thinking these thoughts, he brush them aside and looks back at Lu Tian.

He wanted Yue Ling to marry a good man, so that those snakes from the second Ji family cannot touch her and Ji Jingxu after he is gone. As for the second Han family, it’s been a few years now and those people have not made another move.

As their only elder left, he hopes to do everything within his power to pave the way for them. So that when he leaves, he will leave knowing that he does not have to worry about neither child.

Grandfather Ji ends his thoughts with a sigh and glance down at the young man’s left hand that did not have a ring.

Ever since he learned that Yue Ling and Lu Tian are together, he felt even more at ease. No one will dare to try anything malicious towards his granddaughter.

The corner of his lip curls up into a faint smile. He will try to live until the two young people get marry.

"Does Ah Ling know that you are here?"

Lu Tian, who was unaware of the old man’s inner thoughts lightly shook his head. He only knew about what happened because of the phone call. As for his wife, he told Xu Long to not say anything as of yet.

"She doesn’t, but does she know about your condition?"

Judging from the people that were in the room, he could already guess that only a minimum amount of people knows. However, he wasn’t sure if his wife knew.

Grandfather Ji’s heart shook at the sudden question. He hasn’t told anyone other than Zhong Yang and Housekeeper Hu. As for Ji Jingxu, they boy accidentally saw his diagnosis paper in his study room.

In regard to Yue Ling, the timing was always wrong.

He heaves a long sigh and this time, it was his turn to shake his head.

"I haven’t told her."

The space between Lu Tian’s eyebrows crease into three lines. He looks at Grandfather Ji as he thought to himself before asking.

"Why?"

Grandfather Ji held a very tiny smile. His head turn to look in the opposite direction of Lu Tian to the window.

"The timing was never right."

His eyes search through the clear blue sky that hoover outside the window as his words continue.

"I’m sure you already know this, but for someone as young as Ah Ling, she shouldn’t have experience such grief over those dear to her. Especially not over her child."

The sky was so clear and beautiful like a calm ocean, but his heart ached like it had been crushed into a million pieces.

"Be a child a year old or thirty, nothing is more devastating than when a parent loses a child."

He knew this feeling better than anyone as he had once walked that path. As a father, he wished for his daughter to enter the world and live a life of promising to the world. However, never did he expect that one phone call would shatter his entire life.

"Your child’s death robs you of your role as their protector. It makes you feel an overwhelming sense of failure for not being able to protect them well."

His eyes slightly lower as he looks away from the window.

"To continue living every day takes a lot of dedication. For this, I could not bring myself to add another heartache into Ah Ling’s heart."

He looks back at Lu Tian and the very tiny smile on his face replaced with a smile that did not look like a smile.

To him, Yue Ling and Ji Jingxu means the world to him. When he first learned of his illness, it broke his heart so much at the thought of leaving the two children alone without someone to protect them.

The smile on his face fades as his eyes locked with Lu Tian’s dark eyes.

"Please keep this a secret from her. I want her to hear about it from me."

He knows that Lu Tian loves his granddaughter and doesn’t intend to keep anything from her, but he is not asking the boy to keep this secret forever. He wants to give Yue Ling time to recover from her own grief, then tell her himself.

He rather she hear from him than someone else.

Lu Tian stares at the old man and he was put in difficult situation. He wanted to tell Grandfather Ji that it is not good to hide his illness for too long as it will cause more pain for his wife. However, understanding his (Grandfather Ji) feelings too, he could only nod his head.

"You have my word."

He can understand why Grandfather Ji wanted to wait before telling his wife. After the incident, she appears to have return to her usual self, but he can see the change in her clear eyes. She can smile and laugh with everyone, but deep inside, she is like him.

It was like a small part of them left this world with their child.

Even if he wanted to tell her, it was best that she hears it from the old man.

Grandfather Ji does not say any more. He looks down at his hand and gaze at the IV that was injected into the back of his hand.

Just a little more. He hopes that God will give him more time to watch over Yue Ling and Ji Jingxu.
