Chapter 315 Farewell
After half a month of bed rest, Rongyue was able to take a short walk. Nangong Yunyi would visit her every day, and he would go back to the hospital to work at other times.
Someone had been accompanying Rongyue to take care of her. Rongyue walked around the house briefly, but she couldn't tell where it was. The woman who was accompanying her and taking care of her didn't say much.
Rongyue did not take the initiative to contact Mo Chen. Her mind was in a mess because of what had happened recently, and she really needed a quiet place to sort out her thoughts.
until one day…
As soon as Nangong Yunyi left, someone came to find her.
The voice sounded like a frail, elderly woman.
Rongyue was very surprised. For the first time, she intuitively felt the pressure of spiritual power right in front of her.
Even though the person opposite her didn't do anything at all, she seemed to be having difficulty breathing as if she was suppressed by a spiritual force.
"Who are you? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Rongyue sat quietly on the bed waiting for the person sitting opposite her to speak.
"Yun Yi has told you about the heir, right..."
The old man spoke slowly...
Rongyue nodded.
"Yun Yi was a very decisive kid before, but he seems to have a lot of concerns about you..." The old woman looked at Rongyue. She stood up and walked in front of Rongyue, and her old hands slowly stroked Rongyue's eyes.
Rongyue felt a black shadow passing before her eyes, and then the red color in front of her eyes slowly dissipated.
Rongyue looked at the old man in front of her in surprise. The old man seemed to be even older than she had imagined, and his facial features were almost buried in the wrinkles on his face.
The old man glanced at Rongyue and then turned around and sat back in his seat.
"I have restored your eyesight temporarily, but only temporarily. The baby in your belly is also stable. Now you need to face reality."
"Face reality?" Rongyue looked at the old man in front of her in confusion.
"Your eyes will be able to see before tomorrow noon. After tomorrow noon, you will continue to be blind. Come to see me before tomorrow noon. As long as you agree to take on the responsibility of successor, you can keep your eyes and your child who can no longer be saved." After the old man said this, he stood up and walked to the door.
"That fire was started for you, but you were the only one who survived. Your friends and family were taken away by the fire. This is the reality you have to face."
The old man said this and walked out the door.
After hearing the old woman's words, Rongyue thought of Gong Di... This was her friend, but what about her relatives? Rongyue felt her whole body tremble when she thought of her grandmother. She stood up and ran out of the room.
Rongyue ran to her grandmother's house. Before she even got close to the door, she saw bouquets of flowers stretching out for dozens of meters. They were all cards mourning the dead. Looking up, she saw the entire building where her grandmother lived. It was burned black, and there was someone kneeling and crying not far away.
Rongyue walked to the door of the unit numbly. She looked at her grandmother's door, which had been burned so badly that its color was unrecognizable and was tightly closed.
Rongyue suddenly didn't dare to go closer. She was afraid that if she opened the door, she wouldn't be able to see her grandmother. She didn't know how to face it. As if there was still hope as long as she didn't open the door, Rongyue took a step back and was about to leave.
"Melting Moon..."
Rongyue heard someone calling her name, and she looked at the person who was speaking blankly.
A tear-stained face appeared in front of her. Her brain completely lost its ability to think and she couldn't tell who was in front of her.
"Why are you here..."
"...I heard that your grandmother didn't survive due to old age, and your mother also passed away... I feel deeply sorry for you..."
"At least your father is still in the hospital, and you still have family..."
"My whole family is dead... I'm the only one left..."
Rongyue watched the person in front of her cry more and more and more and more broken down. Her vision was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, and the sounds in her ears were sometimes close and sometimes far away...
Grandma couldn't hold on...
Your mother is dead too...
These two sentences kept echoing in Rongyue's mind.
On the way to the hospital, Rongyue felt that everything was deforming and distorting like an illusion. She forced herself to stay conscious and made it all the way to the hospital.
Until she stood in front of the window of the ICU and saw Nangong Junyan lying inside, she actually couldn't tell what the person wrapped in gauze lying on the bed had to do with Nangong Junyan, but her heartbeat was like a sledgehammer hitting her chest, and the pain made her almost faint.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" The doctor looked at the dazed Nangong Rongyue and asked her softly.
Rongyue nodded woodenly.
As soon as Rongyue entered the ICU, Mo Chen and Li Xin arrived at the door of the ICU.
"Rongyue!" When Mo Chen saw Rongyue appearing beside Nangong Junyan, his anxious heart finally settled down.
Li Xin stopped Mo Chen who was about to go to the ICU to look for Rongyue and said, "I'm glad to know she's okay. Let her be alone with uncle for a while!"
Mo Chen hesitated for a moment before stopping and looking at Rongyue through the glass.
Rongyue put on protective clothing and stood beside Nangong Junyan.
If it weren't for the machine ringing, the person in front of him would seem to have no life at all.
"The patient's burn area is too large, and he has already developed two complications and multiple organ failure... He may not last long... If you have anything to say, tell him now..." The doctor looked at Rongyue and left.
Rongyue looked at Nangong Junyan. She raised her hand and gently pressed Nangong Junyan's hand. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt Nangong Junyan's hand moved slightly.
After a long time.
"…I know…"
"You are the ones who have always been by my side and taken care of me."
"I've always known..."
"I just don't know..."
"How should I...get along with you..."
"I should have made peace with you guys earlier..."
"It is my fault…"
"But…"
"Can you... not die..."
Rongyue swallowed the dryness in her throat, trying to prevent the tears from blurring her eyes.
"…dad…"
"Please don't leave me again..."
"I beg you…"
Li Xin and Mo Chen felt heartbroken when they heard Rong Yue's words.
嘀…
The machine connected to Nangong Junyan made an abnormal noise, and the nurses and doctors rushed in. The nurse took Rongyue out of the ICU and went to participate in the rescue.
"Rongyue!" Mo Chen immediately grabbed Rongyue who was walking out of the ICU.
"Rongyue!" Mo Chen stroked Rongyue's face and looked at the silent Rongyue with heartache. She seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes were unfocused, she just lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, her whole body was listless.
"Rongyue..." Li Xin felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles when he saw Rongyue's appearance. He would rather Rongyue broke down and cried than be so silent and horrible now.
"Are you his daughter? The patient's condition has worsened. We've done everything we can. Although he still has vital signs,... his chances of survival are zero. There's no need to continue resuscitation. Here's the critical illness notice and the informed consent form for voluntarily waiving medical treatment. Please... sign them."
The nurse looked at Rongyue's pale face and knew the pain of losing a loved one. She had seen such situations many times. Most family members would break down and cry, blaming themselves or complaining about the doctors. But it was even more distressing to see Rongyue not crying or making a fuss, and being so quiet as if she had lost her soul. Her usually serious tone and wording couldn't help but soften.
"Doctor, can you let her sign later..." Li Xin looked at the doctor.
The doctor sighed, looked at Rongyue, and handed the documents and pen to Li Xin. "Whether it's signed sooner or later, the result can't be changed. May the family members accept my condolences."
The doctor left.
Rongyue turned to look at the doctors in the ICU. Those who were busy surrounding Nangong Junyan stopped their work one after another.
Rongyue looked at the almost straightened curve on the machine, and she suddenly felt as if she heard a sharp sound similar to tinnitus ringing in her ears. Then her blurry eyes seemed to see countless red lights emerging from Nangong Junyan's body, slowly gathering together and gradually forming a human figure. This person looked more and more like Nangong Junyan, and he looked at Rongyue.
Rongyue looked at the shadow of Nangong Junyan, who seemed to be looking at her with a loving smile on his face, then he stood up and walked closer and closer to her.
Rongyue suddenly felt a hug. Unlike the previous burning sensation of spiritual power entering her body, this hug was warm, which made Rongyue's numb body slowly regain consciousness.
As the spiritual power slowly melted into her body, it seemed as if there was a faint fragrance of pear blossoms floating around her, slightly calming her mind.
"Dad will always be with you..."
Nangong Junyan's voice appeared in Rongyue's mind, gentle and firm.
"Melting Moon..."
Mo Chen's worried voice brought Rongyue back to reality.
Rongyue regained consciousness and looked up at Mo Chen in front of her.
Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's increasingly clear eyes and was no longer so worried. He rubbed Rongyue's face lovingly and said, "Rongyue, you still have me and the children..."
"Yes, Rongyue...there are people who love you..." Li Xin looked at Rongyue.
Rongyue listened to what Mo Chen and Li Xin said, and her consciousness became clearer. She looked at the documents in Li Xin's hand, raised her hand to pick up the pen in Li Xin's hand, and signed her name on the two documents with her left hand, stroke by stroke.
Rongyue had never felt that writing could cause her so much pain. Her left hand was not flexible to begin with, and every stroke of her name felt like a carving knife cutting a hole in her body. The pain made her tears flow like an endless string of beads.
Li Xin and Mo Chen watched Rongyue go from being calm to unable to control her tears. The more they watched, the more uncomfortable they felt. Both of them were infected by Rongyue, and tears welled up in their eyes involuntarily.
Until Rongyue cried so hard that her hand holding the pen was shaking. Li Xin, who was originally holding the document, could no longer bear it. He put the document in his hand down, grabbed Rongyue's cold and trembling hand, and choked with sobs, "Don't sign, Rongyue... Don't sign..."
Mo Chen held Rongyue in his arms, and as he held Rongyue, who was crying and twitching, he could no longer control his tears.
"Cry...you will feel better if you cry..." Mo Chen gently stroked Rongyue's back.
Li Xin raised her head to try to stop her tears, but it seemed to be of no use.
"Mo Chen...where's grandma? Where did you bury her?"
Mo Chen and Li Xin listened to Rong Yue's words, looked at each other, and remained silent.
