“I’ll head back then,” Lei Qingyi walked toward the door without looking back. He was afraid and he absolutely did not have the guts to face Yan Huan and the fact that he was the one who killed Lu Yi.
Moreover, he was such a coward that he could not face himself.
He closed the door and stood there for a long time before leaving the hospital with a dejected look on his face.
In the hospital, He Yibin walked over to Yan Huan and pulled the covers closer to her chin. Then, he placed his hand on her hair, just like how Lu Yi used to do it.
Yan Huan’s long lashes seemed to shudder, but she remained asleep. She was not a sleeping beauty now, but a sleeping poor thing.
This is Lu Yi’s favorite thing to do, hope you still remember.
He stood up straight, gently let out a sigh as he turned around and left, leaving the place a piece of silence, as well as a piece dreaded stillness.
Every day, someone would die, and someone would be born into this world.
Life and deaths were all destined reincarnations.
Sooner or later, all of us would experience it. That would be the end of our lives when we got to that stage.
Unfortunately, some people would leave too early, so early that the pain was unbearable.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Lei family had been repressed for the past few days. No one was able to put on a smile. It was the same even if they were looking at Little Lei’s chubby little cute face.
Little Lei was walking wobbly. He was almost two years old now and was already very thoughtful. Looking more handsome than his father and more beautiful than his mother, he was in fact a stunning little boy. Due to the strong genes, he was a lot taller and smarter than his peers. He was everyone’s darling, and the whole family cared dearly for this little precious one. He was loved by everyone in his family, the Lu family, and the Ye family.
Everyone adored him. He was good looking, a sweet talker, and a good boy. They all loved him for that.
He walked to Yi Ling and reached out his chubby little hands to hold onto her clothes.
“Mama, where’s aunty?”
He missed his aunt, as she would always buy him toys and played games with him. She was his favorite.
Suddenly, Yi Ling could not help but break into tears. She reached out to pick up Little Lei as she started to sob uncontrollably.
He was so startled by her cry that he began to bawl too.
Madam Lei came to the rescue and took Little Lei away from Yi Ling. Her grandchild was crying and so was her daughter-in-law. She could not help crying too. Soon, the house was filled with nothing but the sounds of sobbing.
Mr. Lei came out and saw the three generations crying their eyes out. Somehow, tears started to well up in his eyes too.
Here, let grandpa carry you.
He reached out to Little Lei. The boy was too young to know anything. All he knew was that mommy and granny were crying, so he cried too.
Mr. Lei was ready to send Little Lei to his sister’s place for a few days. The house was almost flooded in tears. If this situation kept going on, not only the adults, a child would not be able to take it any longer as well.
“Grandpa, where are you taking me?”
Little Lei rubbed his eyes as he realized grandpa was carrying him in his arm now, though they were not walking toward home. Grandma had always said that he was a wild child, as he had to be taken on walks out of the house every day, otherwise he could not fall asleep. This routine started when he was only six months old, up until now. Which was why he was very familiar with the streets and realized that this was not the way home. Where are they heading to?
“We’re going to your grandaunt’s place.”
“Will Big Brother Nan be there?” Little Lei asked innocently in his little boy’s voice; his eyes wide with curiosity.
“Yes, we’re going to your grandaunt’s house.”
“Okay then, let’s go find Big Brother Nan.” Little Lei clapped his small hands happily as he broke into a smile. Albeit, the sight of his smile made Mr. Lei feel like crying even more.
My dear Little Lei,
I wonder if you would still remember that beautiful aunt of yours, and your uncle Lu Yi when you’re all grown up. Both of them have loved you dearly. They watched as you came into this world, just as they watched you grow up.
But now…
He did not dare to dwell on that thought. No wonder his family could not take in the news.
It could be said that Lu Yi grew up in the Lei family. So how could they not be sad? Moreover, Lu Yi and Yan Huan had saved the two ladies in his family.
Sigh, look at what has happened. What in the world is happening now?
Far away, the autumn wind escorted the fallen leaves, as they were accompanied by green frost.
It seemed like winter was coming soon. It would be a long winter when the fall season came to an end. Sea River was calm as it gently flowed forward. It was hard to believe that the sea was just raging not too long ago. Who knew how many souls it had taken away, and yet, it looked like the most innocent thing in the world now.
It was her fifth day in the hospital.
“How is it going today? Is her body temperature normal?”
He Yibin walked over and stood by the bed. Then, he reached into his pocket for his torch and gently opened Yan Huan’s eyelid to shine into them. After that, he went on to check the injuries on her body.
A nurse who stood aside flipped open the latest checkup results and replied,
“Dr. He, the patient’s body temperature is normal. All her body systems are in recovery. As of today, there is no need to administer oxygen anymore. The only thing is that the patient is still unconscious.”
“Okay, noted.” He Yibin sighed for countless times. He was now sure that she was unwilling to wake up. She would have woken up if she wanted to. But it was the fifth day and she was still in a coma.
“Dr. He, there’s not much to be done if the patient stays like this,” The nurse held the medical report in her arms.
They had been injecting nutritional drugs on her every day to sustain her life, but that was not the solution. Any living person would have to eat rice and grains to recover properly. She was not in a vegetative state but she did not consume any food or drinks. Her body would not be able to take it even if they injected her with the feeding tube every day. Her muscles would start to shrink, and her body functions would slowly shut down. This was not a sustainable solution.
This patient was unlike any other patients. She did not have a lot of injuries physically, but she was heavily injured mentally. They could not let this go on. There were so many people fighting for their lives out there, and yet, there were many people like her who just did not want to live anymore.
“Take good care of her, I’ll think of a way,” He Yibin held onto the stethoscope on his neck. Even though he said so, he knew that he was merely a doctor and could not play the role of God. He could treat the injuries on the body, but how he could treat a suffering heart. Even if he was a psychiatrist, he needed Yan Huan to wake up and listen to him.
