After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

Mingyun burst into tears instantly.

When I was little, my grandma would always think of her whenever she had something to eat.

She remembers one time.

Grandma wants to sell the grain she grew herself.

The rice was packed into several large bags.

The place where the grain is collected is several kilometers away.

On a sweltering day, Grandma pushed her stroller over.

Mingyun wanted to stay with her grandmother, but her grandmother said it was too hot and told her to wait at home.

She waited from afternoon until evening.

Grandma returned home, bathed in the setting sun, looking travel-worn.

He was covered in sweat, and his patched-up clothes were so wet they could be wrung out.

Without even taking a sip of water, he took out an ice cream and gave it to Mingyun.

At the time, that kind of ice cream was considered a high-end product.

Mingyun could only afford to spend a dime each week to buy a popsicle full of artificial coloring and flavoring to satisfy her cravings; creamy ice cream was something she couldn't even dream of.

Unexpectedly, Grandma brought one back.

Mingyun thought she was dreaming.

"Eat up," Grandma urged with a smile.

Mingyun opened the plastic packaging; most of the ice cream inside had melted.

"Grandma, you should eat too!"

She wanted her grandmother to try it.

Grandma said she had already eaten, and this one was all hers.

Mingyun ate happily, and her grandmother was also happy to watch her eat.

Later, Mingyun overheard the villagers talking about it and learned that her grandmother had gone to sell grain that day, but the place that bought the grain owed her a few cents. Since she didn't have any cash to give, she gave them an ice cream instead.

Her grandmother couldn't bear to eat it, so in the sweltering heat, she walked several kilometers to bring the ice cream home for her granddaughter.

And because they were worried that all the ice cream would melt.

Her grandmother was walking in a hurry, pushing a handcart, when she fell down on the way.

Even after tripping and falling, she still protected that ice cream...

……

Memories flashed through Mingyun's mind like lightning.

She looked at her grandmother, whose hair had turned white and whose body was hunched over. She was suffering from dementia, but she still remembered to bring her delicious food.

Tears streamed down her face.

"Grandma, it's me, Xiaoyun... I'll take you home, okay...?"

Mingyun cried and hugged her grandmother.

Mei Yingxue was still muttering, "Xiao Yun, my Xiao Yun should be home from school soon... I need to cook for her..."

With the help of several police officers, Mei Yingxue was eventually sent home.

"Oh my god! Mom! You're finally back! You scared me to death!" Zhou Xiu said, her eyes red-rimmed, as she quickly helped her up. "Why did you run around like that? Oh dear, look at the mess you've made..."

Mei Yingxue quickly shook her off and asked warily, "Who are you!"

Zhou Xiu was stunned. "Mom, it's me, Zhou Xiu, your daughter-in-law. You...you don't recognize me?"

"Daughter-in-law...daughter-in-law?" Mei Yingxue asked, her face full of confusion. "When did I have a son?"

Then she looked around and backed away, "Where am I...?"

Zhou Xiumei looked bewildered at Mingyun, who was supporting the elderly woman, and asked, "Daughter, what happened? Did your grandma fall and damage her brain?"

Mingyun's eyes were already red from crying. "Mom, let's help Grandma wash up and change her clothes first. I'll talk to you later..."

"Okay, come on, slow down."

……

After a lot of trouble.

Mei Yingxue washed up, changed into a new nightgown, and went to bed.

Mingyun then told Zhou Xiu that her grandmother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Zhou Xiuru was struck dumb, stunned for a long time. "Alzheimer's? No way..."

Mingyun said, "On the way back, I asked her all sorts of questions, but her mind was very confused. She couldn't even remember who she was. Mom, didn't you see that just now? She doesn't recognize you, she doesn't recognize this place, and she doesn't even remember that she has a son."

Zhou Xiu slapped her thigh and said, "I was wondering why your grandma seemed so forgetful lately. And these past few days, she often didn't respond when I called her. I thought it was just because she's getting old and her thinking is slow."

Tea's essence is like a knife twisting in my heart.

She touched the pendant on her chest.

The day Grandma handed this necklace to her was perhaps... the last time Grandma was still somewhat lucid.

It's a pity that I couldn't spend more time with my grandma.

"Oh dear... what should we do..." Zhou Xiu paced anxiously. "I've heard that Alzheimer's is a real problem. What will become of us in the future?"

As she spoke, she began to wipe away tears again.

Mingyun snapped out of her daze, forcing back the tearing pain in her heart, and comforted Zhou Xiu, "Mom, don't panic, I'll handle it."

"Sigh... thank goodness for you. If it weren't for you, Mom... I don't know what I would have done!"

Zhou Xiu calmed down a little, but she still kept sighing.

Then she continued rambling, "It's so late, and your dad and brother still haven't come back. I have to reheat the food again... Daughter, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't we eat together when they get back? Sigh, I think I'll add a couple more dishes, otherwise it won't be enough... I didn't expect something like this to happen today..."

"Okay, Mom, I'm not eating."

Mingyun turned and went to her grandmother's bedroom.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine and the scent of elderly people.

Mingyun came to the bedside, looked at her grandmother who was already fast asleep, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

She sat down gently and rested her head next to her grandmother.

Gradually, it felt like I was back in my childhood.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly jolted awake and hurriedly pulled out her phone to check the time.

The phone had already run out of battery and shut down.

"Oh no... I forgot about Tianheng!"

Mingyun felt a tightness in her scalp.

She got up, bent down and kissed her grandmother's forehead. "Grandma, I'll come back to visit you again..."

After quietly leaving the bedroom, I quickly went outside.

"Daughter, you're leaving already? Your dad and brother aren't back yet, and you haven't eaten! Mom just added two more dishes, you—"

"I have things to do! Don't worry about me!"

The sound of Mingyun's voice could be heard from outside the door, growing fainter and fainter.

-

By the time Mingyun arrived at the Zhufeng Climbing Gym, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Thankfully, they close at 10 PM.

She ran breathlessly to the children's climbing area, searched around, but couldn't find her son.

"Hello, may I ask—"

She then found the rock climbing coach who led the children and anxiously inquired about his services.

After understanding the situation, the coach looked Mingyun up and down, and said somewhat displeasedly, "So you're Tianheng's parent? His course ended a long time ago, and you're only arriving now? Your phone was off when I called! I thought you had abandoned your child!"

Mingyun kept apologizing, saying that something had happened in her family and she was really sorry.

"Luckily, your child is well-behaved, didn't cry or make a fuss. He was just resting here..." The coach looked around. "Huh? He was just here, where did he go?"

There isn't a single child in the children's climbing area now.

The coach quickly notified the other colleagues, and together with Mingyun, they searched for them.

Meanwhile, in the professional climbing area, there is an indoor top-tier free solo climbing area.

Ono was still climbing a difficult rock climbing wall over and over again.

His tall stature made him exceptionally agile.

He walked on what looked like dangerous and steep rock faces as if they were flat ground.

Now he's all alone here.

In addition, it is a top-level free solo climbing area, and the people who can practice here are often no less skilled than the instructors at Peak Climbing Gym, so there isn't even a single sparring partner.

Yu Ye was very focused. With a leap, he hooked the tip of his finger on the protrusion less than a centimeter at the very top with one hand.

Wow! That handsome uncle is amazing!

A child's exclamation suddenly rang out.

Yu Ye frowned, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and his face instantly darkened.

It's that little brat again.

Why is he still haunting me?
