“Yu ‘Er!” Gong Tianhao saw Xiao Lingyu lying on the side of the bed crying in pain and immediately cried out in heartache, “Yu ‘Er!” He was trying to help Xiao Lingyu up, hug her, and comfort her!
However, Gong Tianhao watched as his hand passed through Xiao Lingyu’s body time and time again. Xiao Lingyu did not feel a thing!
Not only did Xiao Lingyu, but he also realized that everyone around him was turning a blind eye to him. It was as if they could not see him at all.
What was going on?
Gong Tianhao did not understand. He was clearly still talking to Li Yuanhang earlier.
“Xiao Lingyu, get out!” The angry curses in the ward rang out again.
Gong Tianhao immediately stood in front of Xiao Lingyu and called out, “Mother!”
However, when he saw Mother Xiao’s appearance, he was stunned.
‘Is this Mother-in-law?
She had white hair on her temples, and there were obvious wrinkles on her face. She looked very haggard and looked like an old woman in her sixties.
Impossible!
He clearly remembered that his mother-in-law looked very young. She was in her fifties and looked less than forty years old. Furthermore, his mother-in-law’s skin was fair, and her facial features were beautiful. Xiao Lingyu inherited her mother’s beauty. Other than a few small wrinkles on her face, Mother Xiao was definitely a beauty.
Her current appearance… Ah, that’s right, he remembered the information he had seen from Li Yuanhang just now. It was September 2018.
So, this was his mother-in-law five years later?
This… This was Tong Tong five years later?
Gong Tianhao looked at Tong Tong on the hospital bed!
He reached out his hand to caress Tong Tong’s face, but he still couldn’t do that.
Gong Tianhao was shocked and uneasy as he muttered to himself, “Why would things turn out like this five years later?”
Following that, Xiao Lingyu’s cries rang in his ears continuously. His heart ached, and he felt helpless. He leaned forward and hugged Xiao Lingyu, comforting her continuously, “Yu ‘Er, don’t cry. My heart will ache.”
However, they couldn’t hear him.
Gong Tianhao thought of something and suddenly looked towards the door.
Yes, Li Yuanhang.
He could converse with him!
Li Yuanhang stood at the door, and Gong Tianhao said directly, “Yuanhang, come in and help me comfort Yu ‘Er and my mother-in-law. They can’t see me at all!”
However, Li Yuanhang kept looking into the ward as if he didn’t hear him.
Gong Tianhao said anxiously and angrily, “Li Yuanhang, come in quickly!”
Li Yuanhang did come in, but he ignored Gong Tianhao who was standing in front of him. He passed through Gong Tianhao’s body and walked into the ward!
Li Yuanhang held the documents in his hands and walked to the front of the bed. He looked at Xiao Letong with a heavy expression. Then, he walked in front of mother Xiao and comforted her, “Auntie, I’m sorry for your loss!”
They had just found out that this child might be Gong Tianhao’s son. In the end, before they could do anything to save him, the child had already left.
This child had come and gone unexpectedly.
How should he tell Gong Tianhao? He didn’t even know if Gong Tianhao liked the child, but he was still Gong Tianhao’s flesh and blood. He had the right to know.
Li Yuanhang looked at the family members of the child in the ward and sighed lightly. He said again, “Please accept my condolences!” After saying that, he walked out of the ward!
He did not comfort Xiao Lingyu, nor did he ask her anything. Because now was simply not the right time!
When Gong Tianhao saw Li Yuanhang leave, his expression was slightly surprised. Then, he shouted, “Li Yuanhang, come back! Come back! Who told you to leave?”
However, his words were like air and were quickly drowned in this space.
Li Yuanhang could not hear his voice anyway. Gong Tianhao looked at Li Yuanhang who was walking away. Then, he looked at mother Xiao who was cursing angrily in the room, and Xiao Lingyu who was crying in despair. His face was filled with confusion and helplessness.
What should I do?
What should I do?
What had happened all these years?
Gong Tianhao squatted down and leaned against the door. He held his head with both hands. He was anxious, distressed, and helpless!
What was going on?
He patted his head as if the answer was inside his head.
After an unknown amount of time, Gong Tianhao thought of something. When he raised his head, he was stunned.
‘Where… where is this?’
This was a mountain. There weren’t many trees on this mountain, but there were many weeds.
No, that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was that he saw his mother-in-law, his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and many familiar faces. Many of them were from Taoyuan Village.
All of them had solemn and sorrowful expressions.
His mother-in-law was supported by two women, one on the left and one on the right.
One of the women said, “Qiuying, I’m sorry for your loss! Lingyu has been depressed for so long. Tong Tong’s death has dealt a huge blow to her!” The woman who said this had tears flowing down the corners of her eyes. She continued, “Why is the child so stubborn?”
The other woman cursed loudly, “It’s all the fault of the Chen family. Chen Ran, that vicious person, hurt Ling Yu. Their family is too detestable. They will be punished sooner or later.”
Mother Xiao suddenly scolded, “Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu, what are you doing? Is this your way of making up to Xiao Tong? So you went to be with him? Then, have you thought about me? Have you thought about your father? Your father and I have to suffer the pain. How can you do this to us?”
Gong Tianhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely dumbstruck. The shock on his face was real.
‘What are they saying? Is Xiao Lingyu dead? Yu ‘Er was fine before this. How did she die?’
Gong Tianhao’s gaze slowly shifted to the front, and he noticed a coffin in front of them!
Gong Tianhao’s mind was blank, and he couldn’t think at all. He stumbled towards the coffin. He wanted to open it, but he realized that he couldn’t touch it at all.
He kept trying to open it, but it was to no avail.
After an unknown amount of time, he sat on the ground dejectedly. His expression was one of despair and sorrow!
He could not understand what had happened.
Why had his son, Tong Tong, and his wife, Xiao Lingyu, passed away?
And why was he here?
Why could he see them and they not him?
…
After hearing the dream that Gong Tianhao mentioned, Xiao Lingyu became silent.
“So, it was because of this dream that you chose to forget about us? You thought Tong Tong and I were dead.” Xiao Lingyu asked seriously.
Gong Tianhao nodded, “Yes. In the dream, I was caught in the pain of losing you and Tongtong. That’s why I didn’t want to wake up. But when I woke up, I chose to forget both of you!”
He paused for a moment and said sincerely, “I’m sorry, Yu ‘Er. I made you worry for so long and made you suffer so much.” Then, he held Xiao Lingyu in his arms, looking guilty.
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before saying, “Tianhao, what you saw in that dream might be my previous life!”
Gong Tianhao was a little surprised when he heard that. “Previous life?”
“Yes, previous life!” Xiao Lingyu nodded. This had always been a heavy burden for Xiao Lingyu.
To others, it was a story that she made up or a dream. But to her, it was a true story.
“Yu ‘Er!” Gong Tianhao suddenly grabbed Xiao Lingyu’s hand and said, his heart aching, “I will protect you no matter what. I will definitely not let you and Tong Tong get hurt again!”
Xiao Lingyu had once told him the story of her past life. He didn’t want her to tear open this bloody wound again.
In his dream, he did not remember Xiao Lingyu’s past life. After he woke up, he was in a state of amnesia.
Now that he had regained his memory, he naturally understood everything.
Therefore, he would not let the shadow of this past life follow Xiao Lingyu.
Gong Tianhao said, “Yu ‘Er, that’s all in the past. In this life, you met me, and I fell in love with you. Our future will definitely be more blissful!”
Xiao Lingyu leaned against his broad and safe chest and nodded, “Mmm, I won’t think about it anymore. In the future, we will both be happy. We will be happy for the rest of our lives!”
