Chapter 624 Caught one fish (2/2)
”Boss… You're not crazy.”
He sounds a loud sniffle and focus his eyes on the road in front of him.
”If you're crazy then I must be crazy with you.”
He inhales a deep breath that shook his body as he brace himself for what he has to tell her.
”I can also remember my dream before waking up in the hospital.”
He smiles painfully after his words and thought back to the dream he had before he awoke in the hospital to see Lin Hui and Xu Long at his side.
”I dreamt I was fishing on a dock near the ocean, but I wasn't alone. Chen Yifeng was there with me. It felt so real like I had gone back to the past when we used to go fishing together.”
Just like Yue Ling who remembered her dream so vividly, he too remember his.
”The sun was still up when we were fishing, but after all the endless words we had to say, we finally realized that the sun was beginning to set.”
He chuckles softly and his eyes that were about to dry up gradually turn moist again.
”It was a dream, but we only caught one fish.”
His chuckles turn faint as he press his lips together to keep them from trembling.
”Yifeng looked at the setting sun and said it was time for him to leave. I asked him to stay, but he shook his head and said he only came to see how I was doing…”
He glance out to the clear blue sky that Yue Ling had been looking at then his words continue.
”Before he left, he told me that I should leave too, but for me to take the path opposite from him as it would lead me home.”
He furrow his brows and tries to blink his eyes free from any tears, but a streak of tear still found its way and slid down his cheek. He quickly wipes it away and force a smile.
”I had only turned around to look at the path he told me to take before everything around me engulf in darkness. It was then that I opened my eyes and I was staring at the hospital ceiling.”
He choked out his words in a quiet sob. If his boss had a dream about her child and he about Chen Yifeng, then that meant they were both saved.
The both of them were already standing in front of death's door, but because it wasn't their time to go, those who were dear them that have left the world came to stop them. It felt like a short encounter in a dream, but it was their way of stopping them (Yue Ling and Liu Shan) from entering the door of no return.
Yue Ling sat in silence as she listened to her assistant tell his dream. She never turn to look at him, but she knew that he was secretly crying.
She decided to feign ignorance to him as she knows how much that dream meant to Liu Shan.
