And that is why nothing can happen. Nothing bad can happen to her.
“Qingyi, it’s me. I’m He Yibin.”
He Yibin walked outside and closed the door behind him. He was not sure if his action would seem too deliberate, but he was indeed afraid of the person inside overhearing him, notwithstanding the fact that she did not even want to wake up. He probably would not have such a headache if she would just wake up.
“Is there something wrong with her?”
Lei Qingyi stood up with a whoosh and walked outside with long strides, without a care for anything else.
“Nothing, she’s fine.” Lei Qingyi stopped walking at He Yibin’s next sentence.
“She’s fine?” Lei Qingyi could feel his heart in his mouth just now. He almost screamed out loud as he was so irritated that he wanted to pick a fight with someone.
These repressed feelings lately were truly dreadful, so dreadful that he was unable to fall asleep almost every night, and he would dream about Lu Yi once he actually did fall asleep.
Every single thing that Lu Yi had said to him, was about Yan Huan.
Tell Yan Huan to live a good life, tell her to live a good life.
But right now, the problem is that Yan Huan doesn’t want to live anymore.
He was unable to push down those unspeakable repressed feelings every time he received He Yibin’s phone calls. He could feel the weight of those feelings pressing down on him to the point where he was almost suffocating.
“How are you going to tell them?” He Yibin asked Lei Qingyi. “We can’t let her go on like this. As far as her body is concerned, any sort of medicine will only repair the physical wounds on her body, but there is nothing I could do to help her mentally. She has been like this for five days, plus the two days when she was rescued.”
Actually, He Yibin was already feeling anxious when he uttered the numbers. It would be a real problem if she did not wake up within seven days, owing to the reason that there was a possibility that she could never wake up again.
What difference is there between her and the living dead? If this is truly the case, how are they supposed to not let Lu Yi down? To not let their brother down?
“Let me think about it.” Lei Qingyi lifted his fingers to rub his temples. He had to think about this properly. What will be the best way to tell their family about this so that it will be easier for them to accept the news?
The one thing humans fear the most is the great rejoicing after the great sadness, and the great sadness that comes after the great rejoicing.
He put down his mobile phone, and once again he pressed on his temples with both hands, feeling a throbbing pain in his head.
Let it be. He would bring them to her tomorrow. However, he was clumsy of speech. Although during normal days he seemed to be able to converse well, he was unable to spit out even half a word at a crucial moment.
The next day, Lei Qingyi spent a lot of effort to coax Yi Ling and Madam Lei to the hospital. As for Ye Shuyun, there was nothing he could do. Ye Shuyun did not even want to talk to anyone now, she was about to cry all her tears out.
She could not accept the death of her son, and it was even more unacceptable to her that her son died because of saving her.
If it wasn’t because of her being there, if it wasn’t because of Yan Huan saving her, how is it possible that both her son and her daughter-in-law will die?
That was why she could not accept it, she could not accept it at all.
In the end, Lei Qingyi had asked Lu Jin to forcefully bring Ye Shuyun to the hospital. Otherwise, Yan Huan’s time might be up by the time she stopped behaving this way.
“Qingyi, why did you bring us here?” All three ladies looked pale. It had only been a few days, but everyone had lost a lot of weight. Especially Ye Shuyun, who looked like she had aged by more than 10 years as the gray hairs on her head seemed to be multiplying in an instant. She used to be such a beautiful and elegant lady. Although she had grown older, her hobbies were almost the same as those of the younger generation. She loved to take care of her beauty, to idolize celebrities, and she was also a Weibo user. But now, not only had she aged, she looked more haggard, as though her own vitality of life had depleted altogether.
She was supported by Yi Ling all the way to the hospital. She was absent-minded, occasionally feeling like her son had returned when she saw a man with a figure that was similar to Lu Yi. But once she realized that it was not him, the remaining light in her eyes would diminish once again.
As for Madam Lei, until now, she did not have any clue as to why her son would bring her here. Is it for a medical check up? But why would a medical check up be carried out with so many people around?
“You will know once you go inside.” Lei Qingyi did not know what to say, so he chose not to say anything at all. After all, once they see her, they will naturally understand.
He walked to the door of the ward and placed his hand on the doorknob. Then, he opened the door and walked in, before turning around to look at them.
“Mom, Big Aunt, Lingling, come in.”
Alright. Madam Lei walked in, not knowing what her son had up his sleeve. But even so, she knew that her son would never harm them.
“Big Aunt, let’s go inside too.”
Seeing Ye Shuyun like this, Yi Ling started to feel like crying again. This is all my fault, but no one is blaming me, and no one scolded me as well. Why did nobody scold me, why is nobody blaming me? I will feel slightly better in my heart if they were to do so.
Ye Shuyun was practically lost in the clouds when she was helped in by Yi Ling. Right at this moment, Madam Lei, who was already inside, had covered her mouth in disbelief for a long time, as she could not believe her eyes.
“Qingyi, Qingyi, this…”
She grasped Lei Qingyi’s sleeves tightly. “Is this real, is this real?”
“Yes.” Lei Qingyi nodded. “Mum, it’s real. It has been five days since she was rescued. I wanted to wait for her to get better before telling all of you, but there is nothing much we can do about the situation right now.”
“Mum, Yibin said that she has no will to live, and she doesn’t want to stay alive. Lu Yi has left her to us. How am I going to face Lu Yi and not let him down if we can’t save her and keep her alive?”
Madam Lei’s words stuck in her throat. She was afraid that she would be sobbing without restraint, and that she would not be able to stop her tears.
“Huanhuan, Huanhuan…”
All of a sudden, Ye Shuyun’s eyes were beaming again. She ran to the bed like a crazy person.
Is that her, is that Yan Huan? Is she my Huanhuan? She’s still alive, then what about my son? What about Lu Yi? Where’s Lu Yi?
“Huanhuan…” She laid her hand on Yan Huan’s face. It could clearly be seen that there were some unhealed wounds on Yan Huan’s body, but there was nothing serious. Her breathing was calm, but it was so calm that it seemed like she was not breathing at all.
“Huanhuan.” She carefully caressed Yan Huan’s face again. Is it you, Huanhuan? is it you?
Yes, yes, it definitely is. Her face was warm. Judging from her chest movement, she was still breathing. She did not die, she was still alive. These two words must not be underestimated, for they were probably the only thing that Ye Shuyun had said within the last few days.
“Huanhuan…” Yi Ling was almost rolling and crawling in her haste to run to her.
She carefully moved her fingers away, as she dared not simply touch her. She was afraid that Yan Huan would turn into foam and disappear like the little mermaid in the fairy tale.
She didn’t die, she’s still alive.
