Stealing Your Heart Chapter 1039
“What’s there for them to hide?” Zhuang Jiawen felt rather dubious.
Shen Xinyao felt that something was amiss. “Mom and Dad are both getting on in age. Could it be that
they’re feeling unwell?”
She didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but this concerned life and death and the well-being of her in-
laws.
Although she wanted tofort herself, she didn’t want to live in denial.
The matter at hand was already strange enough as it was.
“Well…”
Shen Xinyao’s words made Zhuang Jiawen feel a little uneasy. It was human nature to start pondering
on certain matters once something took root in their hearts. They had to get to the bottom of the
matters or they’d be restless.
He mumbled, “Do you think that’s it? Like you said, there is a possibility that they’re sick…”
“Can it be…” Shen Xinyao was so shocked that she pped a hand over her mouth.
“What is it?” Zhuang Jiawen asked, looking up.
“Were Mom and Dad washing the sheets because they stained them and do not want us to find out
about it?”
“What?” Zhuang Jiawen got her meaning immediately. “Do you mean that…”
Shen Xinyao nodded frantically. “I heard that diabetes and Alzheimer’s can cause the elderly to lose
control of their dders.”
Zhuang Jiawen stood up and wanted to go downstairs again.
Shen Xinyao stopped him. “It’s toote now. Why don’t you ask your dad out for a meal tomorrow and
talk things over with him? See if you can find out who’s the one with diabetes.”
Zhuang Jiawen nodded. “Alright.”
The two of them spent the rest of the night worrying, so they were unable to get proper sleep.
When Zhuang Jiawen woke up the next morning, he looked like a panda. His dark eye circles were
awful—after all, he hadn’t been able to sleep well the past few days because of Cheng Yuwen’s
funeral.
He went downstairs and saw Zong Yanxi packing some clothes.
“Yanxi, why are you packing your clothes? Are you nning to leave already?”
“I’ll tell you about it during breakfastter.” Zong Yanxi went into the room and helped Zhuang Zijin out.
Zhuang Jiawen didn’t press the matter.
While they were having breakfast, Zhuang Zijin said, “I’d like to go for a short vacation. Yanxi,e
with me.”
“Grandma, where do you want to go? Wait for a few days, and I’ll go with you.” Zong Yanchen was
worried about Zhuang Zijin. “I’m taking a long break from work this time.”
Zhuang Zijin waved a hand to signal her disapproval. “No thanks, I don’t need you. None of you follow
us! I just need Yanxi to follow me.”
“But…”
Lin Xinyan was about to protest, but Zong Yanxi cut her off. “Mom, I can take care of Grandma very
well. Don’t worry. Actually, isn’t it great that Grandma wants to go out for a vacation? It’s much better
than being cooped up at home all day.”
The two of them must have nned this beforehand, thus, Lin Xinyan couldn’t say anything.
Zong Yanxi shifted her gaze to Zong Jinghao. After a long pause, she said, “Dad, do you remember
that assignment you promised me thest time? Can you try and extend the deadline on that one? If
not, tell the client that I can’t do it—I’d like to spend some time with Grandma.”
“Just go whenever you’re free,” Zong Jinghao replied.
Actually, he approved the idea of Zong Yanxi and Zhuang Zijin going traveling together.
He could take this opportunity to adjust his mindset.
“I still feel a little worried about Yanchen.” Zong Yanxi looked over at her brother. His blindness was
always a source of concern.
Although his sight wasing back, and he could now make out the vague outlines of everything he
saw; he still couldn’t see very clearly. In fact, he was nothing short of severely near-sighted.
Thankfully, his eyesight had already improved much from yesterday.
Zong Yanchen held up his bowl and grabbed his chopsticks. “My eyesight is slowly recovering. Don’t
worry about me.”
“Yanchen, can you see now?”
Everyone was bbergasted by his actions. They gathered around him immediately.
“Yanchen, you can see now!”
“Can you see my hand?” Zhuang Jiawen waved his hands frantically in front of him. His brother
smacked his hand away. “Stop waving your hand about in front of our faces!”
“Yanchen, you can finally see now?” Lin Xinyan was overjoyed, but she tried not to reveal it.
He replied, “Yes, but I can’t see anything clearly. I think my eyesight will recover fully in about two
days.”
“Excellent. It’s good that you can regain your eyesight.” Zhuang Zijin was extremely happy, too.
Because of this piece of good news, the somber atmosphere in the house over Cheng Yuwen’s
passing dissipated.
After breakfast, Zong Yanxi left the house. “Jiawen,e and send us off.”
“Wait, you’re actually leaving today?”
“Yes, I already booked the tickets yesterday night.” she pointed at her luggage. “I’ve already packed my
things. Just help me put the luggage into the car boot, thanks.”
Obediently, he dragged the luggage outside and ced it into the car boot. Zong Yanxi turned to her
family members and said, “None of you is allowed to follow us to the airport! Jiawen is driving us there.
Our ne is flying off at nine o’clock, so we’ll have to leave now. If youe, you’ll just send us off at
the boarding gate anyway. So he alone is good enough.”

“Take good care of Grandma then!” Lin Xinyan was still felt a little worried.
“Don’t worry.”
“Oh, don’t worry about us. Yanxi and I will return after we are done travelling,” Zhuang Zijin said. Her
face still looked rather pale.
Zong Yanxi helped her grandmother out of the door, and Lin Xinyan helped her into the car.
At the airport, Zhuang Jiawen headed for the ticket counter to check in their luggage. Zong Yanxi and
Zhuang Zijin sat down at the waiting area, waiting to board the flight.
Zhuang Jiawen finally left after he saw them boarding the airne.
“When we return from Baicheng, let’s go and have a look around B City,” Zhuang Zijin said.
Actually, she wanted to drop by Cheng Yuwen’s old house. She hadn’t been back to B City for a long
time, and she didn’t know how much longer she was going to live for. While she was still alive, she
wanted to return to where she had once lived.
When she mentioned B City, Zong Yanxi’s mind jumped immediately to that person. Her heart skipped
a beat. She grabbed hold of Zhuang Zijin’s hand and said, “Alright, I’ll bring you to B City.”
