Upon hearing this, the old woman’s face showed a hint of hesitation, as if unsure what decision to make.
After a moment, she finally shook her head gently and began to speak.
“Never mind, you are guests. It’s not proper to bring you in to see this.”
But they both stood up resolutely and shook their heads.
“It’s okay. We just want to care for the old man,” they said.
Yigol, who was next to Suri, also immediately nodded and added.
“Yeah, don’t overthink it. We just want to see how the old man is.”
Since they had already said it, it would be somewhat improper to refuse them further.
So, in the end, the old woman agreed.
She nodded gently and said,
“If you really want to see, you can go in, but I hope you won’t be scared.” Upon hearing her say this, they felt a bit more assured in their hearts.
But they also didn’t know exactly how bad the situation was, as she even warned them not to be frightened.
They took a deep breath, exchanged glances, and stepped into the room one by one.
As soon as they got closer, they smelled a strong, nauseating stench of blood.
Their brows furrowed higher and higher.
The other old women nearby were also completely surprised that these two young people would come here. It was quite unexpected.
They immediately tried to block the path and wanted to take them away.
“What’s wrong with you? You’d better not look inside.” “Yeah, just wait outside for us.”
But the two still wanted to see how the old man was doing. They immediately grabbed the old women’s shoulders and said,
“It’s okay, we’ve come to care for the old man.”
“Yes, we just want to take a look, we won’t do anything else.”
Their personalities were rather stubborn, which the old women had noticed through their earlier exchange.
If they kept blocking them, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
So, in the end, the old women could only sigh deeply, their eyes filled with a trace of helplessness.
“Alright, take a look.”
“There’s not much to see, really. My husband has had some troubles and life has been difficult.’
As the old woman explained, she continued to tidy up the room.
If their guess was correct, this woman was probably the wife of the old man lying on the bed.
When they saw the old man on the bed, their faces were naturally not very pleasant.
It was visible that the old man was in great pain. One of his legs seemed to have disappeared.
Not only that, but he looked emaciated, as if he had been malnourished for a long time.
Upon seeing this, their hearts felt like they were being tugged at, a great discomfort.
After a while, Suri cautiously asked,
“The old woman just told us the general situation. How long has the old man been like this?”
Hearing this, one of the old women raised her hand and began to explain.
“It’s because of his bad luck. He’s been bedridden for nearly half a year.”
“If it weren’t for the lack of surveillance back then, the situation wouldn’t be this bad now.”
Originally, the old women were discussing it one by one.
But suddenly someone raised a hand, gently patted their shoulders, and gave them a look. After frowning and shaking their head, they closed their mouths and didn’t say anything else.
It was clear that the old man’s face was also very uncomfortable at this moment.
However, he was visibly enduring the pain.
When facing his wife, he would always force a smile.
Although he had become emaciated and his speech was somewhat unclear, he continually repeated the words,
“It’s okay.”
Seeing them like this moved Yigol.
With that in mind, he didn’t want to waste any more time and immediately addressed the old women.
“Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll send the old man to the hospital and cover all the medical expenses.”
His casual statement stunned everyone present.
They were like being glued to the ground, unable to move.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, one of the old women finally widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Are you serious?”
Even Suri hadn’t expected Yigol to make such a decision.
But soon, she expressed her support and agreement.
Considering their financial status, it really wasn’t a big amount of money.
In her time spent with Yigol, Suri had realized that he was indeed very wealthy.
If they could do something meaningful, why wouldn’t they enjoy doing so? So at this moment, Suri also immediately nodded and firmly said,
“I agree.”
Since that was the case, there was nothing more to be said.
Suri brought a few stools for everyone to sit down.
Yigol also sat down in front of everyone.
“I hope the old woman can accept my proposal, as the old man looks truly in agony.”
He also couldn’t bear seeing old people suffer like this.
Moreover, their meeting was a kind of fate. With everything being so coincidental, he didn’t want to think of anything else.
As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven- story pagoda.
If he could do some good deeds at this time, it would also be considered accumulating virtues.
When the System chose him initially, it must have had its own reasons.
Given that, shouldn’t he contribute some love to this world?
Although he Imew there were many different people in this world.
There were also many difficult families who might encounter many hardships.
Though he hadn’t encountered them all, he knew that if he came across one, he might help one, rather than simply let them continue to suffer. While in other situations, they might have refused the offer, But in this case, they felt they couldn’t deny it.
After all, they knew very well the old man’s condition.
If it continued like this, his life might become shorter and shorter.
Finally, the old woman knelt to the ground..
