A Valiant Life

Chapter 448: A great joy!

Panda Novel

At the turn of the staircase, Lil’ Bao was standing there, rubbing his eyes, scratching his pants and in a daze as if he was still asleep. He was anxiously looking for his Grandpa and Grandma to bring him to the toilet.

Lil’ Bao was still small and he didn’t notice anything different about himself. He just stood there and said, “Grandpa, Lil’ Bao wants to pee.”

“Lil’ Bao…” Xiu Fang went forward immediately without a care for the bowls and chopsticks that had fallen onto the ground. She was in disbelief. When she stood in front of Lil’ Bao, her hands started shaking as if she still couldn’t believe what she saw in front of her, as if to her, this was all a dream.

“Xiu Fang, are we seeing things? Maybe because we’ve thought about it too much, we’ve started to hallucinate,” said Elder Zheng in disbelief.

Xiu Fang looked at her grandson. “Lil’ Bao, walk a step forward for Grandma to see.”

Lil’ Bao didn’t know why his Grandpa and Grandma wanted him to take a step forward. Lil’ Bao just wanted to pee, why did he have to take a step forward? But he was a good Bao Bao who listened to his Grandma so he took a step forward.

“Grandma, Lil’ Bao has walked forward. Lil’ Bao wants to pee.” Lil’ Bao was getting urgent.

Before this grandson had been born, their family was very excited but when he was born, this family instantly fell into misery because there was something wrong with his body.

Elder Zheng grabbed Lil’ Bao’s arm and touched his leg, which only recently, was unable to walk. He was so emotional that his voice was a little hoarse, “Lil’ Bao, take another step for Grandpa to see.”

Lil’ Bao looked at Grandpa’s widened eyes and let out a puzzled expression, then slowly took another step. “Grandpa, Lil’ Bao wants to pee.”

“Lil’ Bao, listen to Grandpa. Take one more step, okay?” Elder Zheng’s emotions were erupting like a volcano. He had been thinking about this moment day and night for a long time. This moment when Lil’ Bao would be able to walk like normal children. But even after countless treatments, no results were produced. They hadn’t given up but giving up had already crossed their minds.

But now, a miracle had arrived. Lil’ Bao had really stood up.

Lil’ Bao raised his head and looked at his Grandpa and Grandma. “Lil’ Bao wants to pee.”

Elder Zheng said, “Lil’ Bao, take one more step for Grandpa to see.”

Lil’ Bao was silent. “…”

For a long while, he didn’t respond.

“Waa…” Suddenly, Lil’ Bao burst into tears, “Lil’ Bao wants to pee. Grandpa won’t bring Lil’ Bao to pee. Lil’ Bao is going to pee in his pants.”

Drip!

Lil’ Bao stood there with his fists tightly clenched. He looked embarrassed as his pants gradually got soaked.

Xiu Fang came to her senses. Although she was very excited, her grandson had really just wet his pants, so she carried Lil’ Bao to the toilet. “Old man, hurry up and call our children. Tell them what happened.”

“Yes, okay,” Elder Zheng nodded immediately. He took out his phone and called his son.

“Dad, what is it?” a deep voice emanated from the phone. It was Elder Zheng’s son, Zheng Hai Feng.

“Hai Feng, Lil’ Bao…he…he…” Elder Zheng was so anxious that he started to stutter.

On the other side of the call, Zheng Hai Feng could tell that his father’s voice was panicky, so he started to get anxious. “Dad, what’s the matter with Lil’ Bao?”

Lil’ Bao was his only son. Although he had a slight disability, they had never given up on him. No matter what, he was their son. Even if he couldn’t be normal, they would still take care of him for life. Zheng Hai Feng also believed that his son would not get dejected just because of a small shortcoming like this. He would definitely be able to find a path that suited him.

“No, Lil’ Bao is fine. Hurry up and come back with Hui Ci. Lil’ Bao’s leg has recovered. Lil’ Bao can walk now!” exclaimed Elder Zheng.

Suddenly.

The other end of the call was silent.

After some time, Zheng Hai Feng’s voice stuttered through the phone, “Dad, what did you say?”

Elder Zheng said, “Lil’ Bao can walk. His leg is fine. His leg has recovered!”

“Dad, are you kidding me? Lil’ Bao…” Zheng Hai Feng was in disbelief. To him, perhaps this was a joke by his father. But he knew his father’s personality. His father would never crack such a joke. Then the only other possibility was that Lil’ Bao’s leg…had really recovered.

“I’m not joking! Hurry back with Hui Ci. Your Mom and I don’t know how this happened either. We’ll bring Lil’ Bao to the hospital for a check-up at once,” said Elder Zheng emotionally.

Elder was emotional. He was even more emotional than his son. This was his grandson! His children were always busy every day and his love towards his grandson became deeper and deeper everyday. Now that his grandson could suddenly stand up, it was as if the heavens had opened his eyes.

“Dad, I’m coming back now. I’ll be quick…” Zheng Hai Feng hastily hung up, then without thinking much, he immediately called Hui Ci and told her to hurry back.

He held a post in the army and Hui Ci was his wife whom he met in the cultural department.

In the house.

Elder Zheng paced back and forth in the living room. His mind was in a mess and he was lost in thoughts for a long time. He couldn’t figure out how exactly this had happened.

Xiu Fang helped her grandson to change his clothes, then carried him out from the toilet. She didn’t want to let go of him. Her palm kept touching Lil’ Bao’s leg and she didn’t let go for a long time.

“Lil’ Bao, take a few steps for Grandpa to see. Tell Grandpa why you can suddenly walk.” Elder Zheng asked him.

Lil’ Bao looked at his Grandpa in a daze. “Grandpa, Lil’ Bao can walk now because Lil’ Bao has grown up. Isn’t it like Grandpa said? Now that Lil’ Bao can walk, it’s because Lil’ Bao has grown up.

When Elder Zheng heard this, he didn’t know what to say.

This explanation was indeed what he had made up last time. At that time, Lil’ Bao had asked him why he was different from the other children.

Elder Zheng had been afraid that the child would be upset, so he made up an explanation, while he planned to find a way to treat Lil’ Bao’s leg. But they knew that there was little hope and they could only wait for Lil’ Bao to grow up and perhaps understand the situation himself.

But he never thought that Lil’ Bao would suddenly be able to walk. He really wanted to know the reason for that but perhaps, they wouldn’t be able to get an explanation from Lil’ Bao.

Soon after.

Elder Zheng’s son and his wife returned. His wife, in particular, when she received the news, was completely dumbfounded. She asked about it numerous times and still didn’t believe it was true. This was what she dreamt about every day. Now that she had received this news, she really couldn’t dare to believe it. She couldn’t even recover from her shock.

“Dad, where’s Lil’ Bao?” Nian Hui Ci pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Lil’ Bao running around the room by himself, she stood there and covered her mouth. Her eyes had turned red as tears dripped down her face.

“Mama…” Lil’ Bao ran over happily and tugged on the corner of her shirt. “Mama, why are you crying?”

“Lil’ Bao.” Nian Hui Ci immediately embraced her child and didn’t say anything for a long while.

Zheng Hai Feng’s had a firm personality. But when he saw this scene, he couldn’t resist getting emotional too. Then, he went over to Elder Zheng and asked, “Dad, how did this happen?”

Elder Zheng shook his head, “I don’t know either. Right now, don’t think about anything else. Hurry and bring Lil’ Bao to the hospital for a check. Find out what exactly is happening. We can’t raise our hopes and then be disappointed again later on!”
