Chapter 300 - That is my wish (1/2)

Muchen had come to pick Sara so they could both see his grandmother. But on their way to her place, he suddenly received a call that made him change gear and head towards another direction.

Li Sun had collapsed and was currently at the hospital.

Sara had seen how worried he looked as he drove there with speed.

Even though she had tried to assure him that she was going to be fine and was a strong woman, he did not seem to calm down.

There were curious glances when people saw Muchen and Sara rushing into the hospital with their hands locked together.

But that did not seem to bother them even the least bit.

He did not also bother to ask the nurses on the counter about the room Sun was since he knew she was in the Li family's private room.

The Li corporation made huge donations to Dr Long's hospital and so, a permanent private room was always ready for the Lis at any time.

”Are you sure it's okay for me to go in with you?” Sara asked when Muchen was about to open the door.

Those were his family members inside and she was not yet a part of their family, so she was a bit skeptical about it.

”Let's go in together.” He held her hand tightly and still waited for her to agree. Once she nodded, he opened the door.

His Mother, Father, Uncle, Aunt, Hoy and Sun's maid were already inside the big room around Li Sun's bed.

Minde had earlier called to tell him he would be coming together with Heya immediately he got the news.

”Grandmother.. How are you?” Muchen moved closer to ask.

Thankfully, Sun still looked a little bit strong even though it was obvious to them all that she was sick.

Her eyes were almost dim as she looked at Muchen.

”You all shouldn't have come here. Aren't you all busy people?” Sun complained weakly.

After Sara finished bowing to the elders there, she faced Sun.

”Madam Li.. How do you feel now?” Sara asked sadly.

The woman was always so strong, so seeing her like this now was not a good sight for Sara.

”I feel suffocated. They are too many” Sun was referring to her family who were all standing beside her bed.

But for some reason, she felt warm.

It was the first time that she was in the hospital with her family around her.

”How do you do my dear? I heard you'll become a part of the Li family soon” Sun said to Sara.

Sara smiled shyly before nodding.

She then raised her hand to show Sun the ring.

”It's real diamond” Sara announced proudly which caused Sun to laugh.

”You'll never use your eyes to see fake diamonds as long as you remain in this family. You can trust the Lis on that.” Sun said with a smile.

She did not know how or when she began to grow fond of Sara. But she had to confess that Sara was one tough lady she did not have the strength to fight with.

Jiang Dana quietly watched them converse. She did not still like the idea that Sara was going to marry Muchen. But it seemed everyone else was in support of the idea except for her and she could not voice out her complaint especially in front of Sun.

Fazhan smiled sadly as he watched them talk.

At that point, the door opened and Minde came in with Heya.

Heya quickly rushed to Sun's side and sat on her bed.

”What happened to you? Why did you collapse?” Heya threw the questions at her immediately.

She had never been really close with her grandmother. But ever since her birthday party, Heya grew to like her even more. They had even spoken on the phone a couple of times.

”I was feeling a little but dizzy late last night and fainted. I don't know why she had to call the entire family to tell you all about it. I am okay now” Sun explained as she looked towards the direction of her maid who had tattled to them.

”Be truthful to us mother. I know you are hiding things from all of us. We are your family.” Her eldest son Li Han, said in a hurtful voice.

Sun looked at all of them gathered there. She smiled sadly and soon, tears escaped through the corner of her eyes.

”It's normal for old people to get sick and die some day. I guess this is my time” She said with a sad smile still plastered on her face.

”You...you are really sick?” Li Fazhan asked in shock. ”How long has it been?”

Sun remained quiet and said nothing to them.

”I should rest now” She quickly dismissed them and closed her eyes.

”Three years”

They all turned back to look at her maid who answered the question with tears in her eyes.

”She's been sick for three years. At first, we thought they might be a cure. But till now, there is still nothing. And each day worsens it.” She continued to explain.

”I begged her to tell you all. But she did not want to trouble you all with her life issues. You all did not even care about her. How could you all have treated her that way? How could—”

”Enough!” Sun cut her off harshly.

”You are in no position to fault my children” She said in between tears and with a very weak voice.

Everyone was shocked, quiet, and surprised.

She had been sick for three years? Not only did they not know about it, it was also incurable?

The first person to break down in tears was Heya who was still sitting beside her.

As Sara looked at Sun and the others, she noticed that every other person was trying so hard not to cry, including Muchen.

And she knew they were not actually crying because she was sick. They were crying because they had been unfilial. They had abandoned their family to the point where they did not know she was battling with her life.

They all heard a loud thud, and when they checked, they saw Li Han kneeling down with his eyes clouded.

”I am a bad son. Please forgive me mother” He could no longer hold it in and the tears began to flow.

No one could blame her for not telling them about it. They had never cared about her in the first place.
