Chapter 529 meant the world (1/2)

The sky converted from red and blue to purple then into total darkness as Yue Ling laid alone on the hospital bed inside the private ward.

After their heartfelt interaction, Grandfather Ji had left to go home. He needed to change out of his military uniform and told Yue Ling that he will return to stay the night with her, but she told him that she wanted to be alone.

He had been reluctant in this decision because he doesn't know what she will do. What if she cries to herself? Who will be here to comfort her?

However, knowing that she needed time to herself, he could only agree and leave.

From the moment she was left alone, Yue Ling's red eyes kept up at the white ceiling like she was staring into another world.

The her at this moment did not look a strong woman, but one of a pale and fragile moment. It was as if she was only holding onto the thin line of hope that still kept her alive.

Her eyes slowly blink, and she reposition herself to lay on her side. Through the window, she stares into the dark abyss of the starry night sky.

She couldn't help but recall her dream. The dream she had of her child. She could remember every detail so vividly.

Her child's face looked so happy, yet so sad.

Her child guided her back to life in exchange for his.

To some, it was only a dream but to her, it meant the world.

Gently placing her hands on her stomach, she could feel that what was once a small bump was no longer there. She slowly bend her knees up into a fetus position.

\”My baby… mommy is sorry…\”

She clench tightly onto her shirt that laid over her stomach and her shoulders tremble as she hugs herself like she was hugging her child.

Her eyes slowly closed and like a dried-up lake given water again, a tear slid down from the corner of her eyes.

\”Please forgive mommy… My mommy will always love you no matter where you go…\”

The moment the first tear touched the pillow, another follow then another and another.

All her tears she thought she had shed came flooding in another wave that shook her empty world.

\”I'm so sorry…\”

Yue Ling cried to herself without knowing that four other figures were outside the tightly shut door.

They had been instructed to keep watch over her in case she needed anything.

However, wanting to cheer her up, they decided to stay in the room with her, but when they saw her laying on the bed, none were able to bring themselves to enter.

As they listen to her quiet sobs that pierce into one's soul, Gui Tian Lan stood closest to the door.

His head hung low as tears slid down his cheeks and onto the floor.

Seated on the chairs to his left were Gui Zhongmin and Tang Zhonghui.

The younger twin leaned his head back against the wall, but despite his eyes starring up at the ceiling, unending tears pour down from the corners of his eyes.

Tang Zhonghui sat with his shoulder slouched and head slightly tilt to the side. He stares blankly at the wall across from him as each of his tears landed on his hands the to the floor.

The last was Ju Suo. The petite woman sat the furthest from the three men. However, she didn't care and sat on the floor as her head rested on the chair and she quietly sob to herself.

None of them cared whether the nurses or doctors that pass by saw them crying.

For them, Yue Ling's happiness is their happiness. Her pain is their pain. Whatever grief she is going through, so are they.

Tang Zhonghui stare into the blank space in front of him and he slowly blink his eyes. He stood up from his seat and walks away.

He takes his phone out from his pocket and dials a number.

The moment he brought his phone to his ear, the call connects and before the other person could say a word, he spoke first.

\”Make him suffer…\”

His fingers clench tightly around the phone and he growls like a mad man.

\”Make that fucken bastard experience Hell for what he did!!\”

His shout echoes inside the quiet hospital corridor and he stumbles to lean against the wall. The phone dropped from his hand as he too slumps down to the floor.

He didn't care anymore and bawl his eyes out like a child.

Under the starry sky that darkens the night over Imperial, the ocean remained calm as it allows a motorboat to rev across in ease without problem.

The outline of a small private island soon comes into view as Lu Tian helm the boat into the small harbor and parks it.

He cuts the engine off and jumps down onto the dock that is dimly lit up. Following his steps were Liu Shan, Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li.
