[The Way Home]

[Episode 12]

Dad, why haven't you rested?

Can you stand it?

Don't mind me. Tell me.

Did you find him?

Let him go.

Let's pretend we don't have him.

What are you talking about?

This is the child you've raised for over ten years,

but you're going to abandon him at will?

Dad, he's the one who wanted to leave home.

He doesn't want this family

or me, his dad.

Let him be.

He left home?

I think you drove him away.

How could he leave if you didn't beat him,

lock him up, or yell at him?

I'm over 80 years old

and only have these two grandchildren.

Eight years ago, you drove Jiashu away,

and now, you're going to drive Hao away too?

God.

You've torn my family apart.

Dad.

Sir.

Dad.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

Dad.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

Dad.

- Sir. - Dad.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

Jiashu.

Did you find Hao?

Let's stop it.

Go to the hospital. Your grandpa is sick.

Doctor.

Don't worry.

The patient is old,

so he didn't pass the pre-op evaluation,

but fortunately, he's stable now.

We recommend sending him to the ICU for observation

and a detailed consultation at the same time.

After that, we'll confirm the treatment plan.

[ICU] My father insists on going home

and even removing the syringe himself.

What should we do?

The patient's detailed consultation report is out.

Based on his age,

he's at very high risk for surgery.

We are already maintaining

his signs with fluids.

If the patient strongly wants to go home,

we will respect the wishes

of the patient and his family,

however,

[ICU]

you have to be prepared

for his condition at this time.

Right now, his condition is not good.

This is an informational letter of waiver of medical treatment.

Once you've signed it, he can be discharged.

[ICU]

[I understand the patient's condition is critical.]

[ICU]

Hongguang.

Dad says he wants to go home.

Okay.

Let's go home.

[Authorizing Patient's Relative Signature: Ho Hongguang]

Thank you.

Let me in.

Open the door.

Dad.

Hongxiao.

What did you say?

Jiashu.

That's his son's name.

He wants to meet Jiashu.

Let them meet.

Hongguang, they are father and son.

Won't you even allow him to see his son one last time?

If you don't let Jiashu in, it'll be too late.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

Uncle.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

Let me in.

Let me in to see my dad.

Uncle.

Wake up.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

Doctor.

Hongxiao.

Uncle.

Let me in.

Dad.

Let me in. Open the door.

Uncle.

Let me go back.

I want to go back to take care of my grandfather.

Uncle.

I know

I'm no longer part of the He family,

and I'm not qualified to go back,

but I want to say goodbye to my grandfather.

Get out of the way.

What are you doing?

I'm going back with my grandfather.

I want to say goodbye to my grandfather.

How far do you want

to hurt the He family?

I know.

I know.

I'm a disaster

and an illegitimate child.

My father died because of me,

and Hao was dragged down by me.

My grandfather is like this also because of me.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault, Uncle.

You can call me an illegitimate child

or anything else.

You can ask me to disappear.

You can ask me to leave Xiqiao

and the He family.

You can ask me to do whatever you want,

but this time,

only this time,

please,

Uncle.

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid I'll never see my grandfather again,

like my father.

Don't mention your dad.

He's not your dad.

Get lost.

You don't deserve our family name.

Get lost.

I didn't expect your father to do this to your brother.

After living together for more than ten years,

they have kinship even without consanguinity.

It was hard.

It's the first time I've heard that.

Yeah.

I used to want to

talk to my dad to help him

get rid of such a mind,

but he woundn't listen to me.

I can get it.

Jiahao,

your grandpa is sick.

Grandpa.

I'm back.

Actually, Grandpa knew you were back for a while now.

He didn't reach out to you

because he didn't want to scare you away again.

Jiashu,

everyone knows

what happened back then wasn't your fault.

Grandpa has never blamed you.

Your second uncle did everything possible

to help with your father's illness,

but it was all in vain.

That's why your second uncle couldn't accept

the fact that his brother just passed away like that.

You both know

that I'm much younger than your dad and your second uncle.

When I wasn't even born yet,

your grandparents

were often away on business,

so there were no adults at home.

It was your dad

who raised your second uncle little by little.

The eldest brother is like a father.

Your dad occupied a very important place

in your second uncle's heart,

just like you do with Hao.

Your second uncle just couldn't accept

that your dad was gone.

That's why all his anger

ended up directed at you.

It was wrong of him,

and it was wrong of the He family.

Jiashu,

if you're willing,

you can come back home.

Auntie, don't worry.

I won't be leaving Xiqiao for the time being.

I'll stay here until Grandpa wakes up.

This time, I won't leave no matter what.

Wherever you go,

I'll follow.

Let's go.

You just came back from the factory. Get some rest.

I've been waiting for so many days.

That's right.

What time is this? Why hasn't the quota been added yet?

It's not time.

We've been waiting every day,

but they haven't increased the number of places.

Patients from all over the country are here,

so there's no point in rushing.

Buddy.

Do you have a lighter? Can I borrow it?

Now, or we'll miss it again.

Hurry up.

There you go. Thank you.

My wife has lung cancer.

I dare not smoke,

but now I need a boost.

God is so unfair.

I've smoked all my life,

but it's my wife who's got it,

so...

I don't know what to do.

Seems to me

it only makes sense that I get this disease,

doesn't it?

Yes, it does.

Sometimes we wish

it was us.

Dude.

Are you checking in for your wife, too?

Your kids?

Your mom and dad?

My brother.

Your brother? You...

You're amazing.

Some people can't even care that much about their parents,

but you, as a brother...

You're amazing.

Dude, you're so benevolent.

Virtuous.

Amazing.

Really.

Hongxiao.

Hongxiao.

I got an appointment with an expert today.

Did you spend a lot of money?

I didn't.

By the way, Hongxiao,

they say

this specialist is a special doctor

who receives a State Council stipend.

That specialist said

that your illness was,

in his opinion,

in Beijing terms,

a piece of cake.

Hongxiao, don't worry.

You'll be fine.

Come on, let's go.

Hongguang.

The road is so jammed,

so we won't get there

by twelve.

Let's just go back.

Hongxiao.

Don't think too much.

It's not far.

We'll be there in no time.

Are you tired?

Close your eyes and rest for a while.

Hongxiao.

We'll be right there.

For your brother's illness,

the local hospitals have used all the medicines

and treatments they have.

Chaozhou Cancer Hospital is one

of the top specialized hospitals in the country in this area,

but based on the patient's current physical condition,

we don't recommend that the patient

go through another round of radiotherapy,

so

As a family member of the patient,

do you want to reconsider?

Hongxiao.

Tell me.

Did I do something wrong or not?

Hao, eat more.

Eat to your heart's content.

This cost me quite a bit of money,

so don't waste any.

Dig in.

Jiashu,

I've decided to stay here for a while

and not go back.

Don't worry,

I'll call my mom every day to let her know I'm okay

so they won't worry.

I see.

After all, Long's got the food and shelter covered.

Right, Long?

You've been quiet for a while, so this is what you're up to, huh?

Alright, fine.

Cheers!

Hao, make yourself at home.

Just let me know if you need anything.

Thank you, Long.
