Old Master Tang spat a few times.
"There won't be a next time."
A next time...
Bah.
His granddaughter was blessed with good fortune. After the worst came the best, and when one door closed, another opened...
From now on, only good things would happen to his granddaughter.
But...
"I'm only speaking hypothetically,"
Old Master Tang stressed.
"It shouldn't be possible."
"But what if..."
"If something really did happen..."
Old Master Tang looked at the child.
"Remember what Grandpa said."
"Even if Grandpa couldn't directly help you..."
Like this time.
He hadn't even seen what was happening.
How could he have helped?
"But Grandpa will definitely find someone who can help you."
Old Master Tang's expression was earnest.
"Do you remember?"
"Mm..."
The child looked dazed. "Mm... mm."
"Still..."
Old Master Tang stroked his granddaughter's head.
"It's all over now."
"You protected Mommy."
"And the bad guy was taken care of by Master Xiao."
"So don't keep thinking about it."
No matter what, it wasn't a pleasant memory.
If he could, he'd rather have the memory disappear from the child's mind.
"When your mom and dad come back this time..."
A thought suddenly struck Old Master Tang. "Have them take you out to have some fun."
"Tell them where you'd like to go..."
Ah...
The child's eyes lit up.
"Can I?"
"Mom and Dad..."
The child fidgeted with her fingers.
"Will they have time?"
"Of course."
Old Master Tang smiled.
"They'll have time."
"They happen to have a few days off."
"Let them take you wherever you want to go."
"Okay?"
"Okay~"
The child's eyes crinkled with a smile.
"Grandpa's coming too."
The child tugged at his clothes.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and me—we'll all go out together."
"Of course."
Old Master Tang nodded.
