Episode 11 recap: Grandmother is sick.
Jin Xia received a phone call from a friend and learned that her grandmother was ill. She hurriedly returned home. Her friend explained that her grandmother had been receiving sporadic treatment for a while but didn't want Jin Xia to worry, so she hadn't informed her. Jin Xia decided to stay and accompany her grandmother. Nan Hua reassured Jin Xia not to worry too much, as her grandmother would definitely get better.
Jin Xia approached the doctor to inquire about her grandmother's condition. The doctor advised Jin Xia to fulfill any wishes her grandmother had during this period and not let her have any regrets. Jin Xia stayed by her grandmother's side, and when her grandmother woke up, Jin Xia asked why she hadn't told her about the illness. Her grandmother explained that Jin Xia was busy with work, and she didn't want her to worry.
Grandmother told Jin Xia that life, aging, illness, and death were all normal and nothing to be concerned about. She asked Jin Xia to draw a portrait of her, which could be used during her funeral, and tell others that her granddaughter had painted it, believing that Jin Xia would become a great designer in the future. Jin Xia asked her grandmother not to talk about such things, but her grandmother felt there was nothing wrong with discussing them, as they were all normal matters.
Jin Xia agreed to paint the portrait for her grandmother and urged her to take her medication and rest well, assuring her that she would get better. Ding Yan Hai called Jin Xia and brought something for her and Nan Hua. Jin Xia was surprised and didn't know how Ding Yan Hai knew they were there.
Nan Hua explained that she had informed Ding Yan Hai, and they still needed his help, so they didn't need to worry about it. Ding Yan Hai took out his phone, saying that he had already saved their numbers, with himself as the first contact and Jin Xia as the second.
Jin Xia mentioned that Nan Hua had previously said that she wouldn't have much interaction with others, to which Nan Hua replied that she couldn't care about that anymore because of Jin Xia. Ding Yan Hai stayed with them, and grandmother was happy to see him.
Grandmother noticed the beads Jin Xia brought back and said they were hers. Jin Xia had found them at her place and took them to play with, refusing to return them. Nan Hua asked where she had gotten them from, and grandmother said she found them at a temple.
Nan Hua asked her grandmother about the temple, and her grandmother said she couldn't remember clearly. However, she mentioned that it had been demolished, and she wasn't sure about the exact location, but she had a general idea. Jin Xia was also puzzled because her grandmother used to avoid temples and shrines. Her grandmother said that people change. Nan Hua reassured Jin Xia that she would investigate and find out more, and her main focus should be on accompanying her grandmother. Ding Yan Hai and Nan Hua conducted the investigation together, and Nan Hua felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had been there before.
Nan Hua recalled some past events but couldn't remember much. Ding Yan Hai gave Nan Hua a call from Mr. Li, and Nan Hua explained that she had some things to attend to in the coming days, so the design work would be delayed. Mr. Li said it was fine and asked Nan Hua to prioritize her own matters.
Jin Xia stayed by her grandmother's side, and suddenly her grandmother's condition worsened, and she was taken for emergency treatment. Jin Xia was extremely worried outside, and Nan Hua also arrived to support Jin Xia. The doctor came out and said they had done their best. Jin Xia couldn't believe her grandmother had left like that and was deeply saddened.
Jin Xia approached her grandmother, feeling heartbroken and desperately asking her to wake up and look at her. Her grandmother sat up and said that they had been together for twenty-seven years, and Jin Xia had been by her side for twenty-seven years as well. They hadn't wasted these years and had given each other the best love, so they had no regrets. Her grandmother encouraged Jin Xia to live well.
Jin Xia promised that she would live a good life from now on. In reality, this was Nan Hua controlling her grandmother and making her speak.
