Chapter 446 - suffered yet again (1/2)

The dark sky that gave view to the stars was now covered by gray clouds. Thunder rumble from above, as rain pour over Imperial. It was as if heaven was crying for the tragic incident that befall Yue Ling and Liu Shan.

Inside a private ward in Imperial Military Hospital, Yue Ling laid unconscious on the hospital bed. Her fair skin was paler than it already is with a gauze wrapped around her head.

Despite everything that had happened, she looked like she was sleeping peacefully at home, but everyone knew that was not the case.

A woman's hand carefully reach out to her and gently caress her head.

”My poor child… you have suffered yet again…”

Madam Lu sat on one side of the bed as she stares with teary eyes at her daughter-in-law. She made sure to be very careful and not hurt Yue Ling.

For someone so young like Yue Ling, life was too unfair for her. From a young age to now, hasn't she already suffered enough? Why take her child too?

”How is she?”

Grandfather Ji's voice sounds as he and Old Lu enter the private ward. They had left to check on Liu Shan and speak with Doctor Dong to get more details about Yue Ling's condition.

Without turning to look at the two men, Madam Lu silently shook her head. The anesthesia had already worn off, but Yue Ling has not opened her eyes.

Grandfather Ji sighs inside and walks over to the other side of the bed. Sitting down, tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing his granddaughter this way, he feels guilty for not being a better grandfather. If he had properly took care of her, maybe none of this would have happened.

Reaching to hold her hand, he heaves a long sigh.

Doctor Dong said the danger has passed. The blood trauma on her head has been cleared, the only thing to do now is wait for her to wake up.

However…

He looked at Yue Ling and his heart ache more and more.

When she wakes up, will she be able to handle the tragic news that befalls her?

Just as Grandfather Ji thought this, the door to the private ward opens again. All three heads turn to see who it is.

”Tian…”

Madam Lu trembling stood up when she saw her oldest son. Seeing his red eyes that are slightly puffy, her lower lip shook as she walks over to him. Yue Ling's blood that got on him had long turned dried.

”Oh my poor son.”

She caress his face and hugs him tightly in her arms.

”I am so sorry. I'm sorry for taking my anger out on you. Mother should have known you were in your own pain. I am so sorry for being too careless.”

Her words fell as she continues to apologize to him.

She knows that she shouldn't have blamed Lu Tian and had stepped out of line. However, she said those things because she was so angry and in pain for what happened to Yue Ling.

But every mother knows her child better than anyone.

Despite her oldest son known for being a cold-hearted person, he is still human, and he has a beating heart like everyone.

The pain he had to suffer is far more painful than what anyone here is feeling.

As his mother continued to sob, Lu Tian did not push her away but allow her tears to stain his shirt.

He is not angry with her because everything she said was true. If anyone were to be blame, then is it him.

This happened because he told her to go home first.

This happened right in front of him and he couldn't stop it.
