“No! Not going! Not going …” Zoey shook her head back and forth, leaning woodenly against the elevator wall, taking deep breaths, trying to use them to ease the sharp pain that kept welling up in her heart.
She don’t go … don’t witness such a cruel scene …
Ah Feng wanted to persuade her, but, in the end, he could not say anything, and could only lead the two lawyers to leave first. At this moment, Zoey more need is a quiet space …
After Feng left, Zoey couldn’t hold on any longer and closed the elevator door with tearful eyes while …
Slowly slides down, crouches in the elevator, hugs and cries …
Throughout the small space, all of a sudden, hurt cuts filled the air. The elevator is on several floors, stopping, some people enter. But Zoey couldn’t care less, just immersed in her own sad world, crying uncontrollably …
…
He was, well, tired. All over, it was as if he had been run over by several tons of heavy vehicles, so sore that he couldn’t make any strength at all. With great difficulty, he lifted his eyelids again to look at the door. At the door, there was still no movement.
She … hasn’t come back …
Everyone in the ward knew who he was waiting for.
Zhan Jingtian turned his back on his sullen face and didn’t dare to look at it again. Xiao mother held her son’s hand and stroked his face with trembling, “Zoey is already on the way … The children, too, will be coming over … ”
He let out a soft ‘hmmm’, his voice was dark and muffled, and extremely weak. It drifted in the air as if it would disappear at any moment.
The door to the hospital room, was pushed open from the outside. His eyes brightened for a moment, then darkened again.
It wasn’t her who came in, but, instead, Fung.
“President.” Ah Feng came in and called out lowly. Only to see lying on the bed, his face was pale, there was no longer much of an angry look, perhaps it was because he had lost a lot of weight, his outline became more and more three-dimensional.
This kind of him made Afon’s heart indescribably hard. Once upon a time, when he was fighting the world with him, he was so energetic and elegant, but he never thought that there would be such a day. No wonder Zoey was in such pain.
This appearance, even if it is not related to the outsiders, look in the eyes will feel intolerable? Not to mention the closest and most beloved people … That is simply the most cruel torture …
…
Zhan Qintian and Mrs. Zhan stood there, listening to their son make his will. Each and every one of those arrangements made their hearts twist like knives. Mrs. Zhan was able to support herself at first, but in the end, she finally couldn’t help herself and turned her back, covering her face as she suppressed her tears.
Zhan Jingtian’s face was sorrowful as he took his wife into his arms and also turned his back, looking out of the window in silence and reddening his eyes. In this life, how to bear the pain of two sons both leaving?
…
The whole ward, into a depressing atmosphere, all the people’s breathing, have become suffocated, there is a kind of indescribable sad pale.
Ah Feng handed the signature pen to Jerry Xiao’s hand, two people’s hands, are a little trembling. Ah Feng, because of the injury cut … while Jerry, but because of the weakness …
“President?” Ah Feng worriedly called out, carefully jamming the pen between his tiger’s mouth. He was too weak, as if all his strength and breath would disappear in the next instant …
Jerry Xiao did not respond to him, but only gripped the pen tightly and signed his name on the will. His hand trembled, so the pen was either light or heavy, in the end, as if he had used up all his strength, his hand was loose, he closed his eyes and leaned on the bed.
Eyelashes slightly drooped, falling a layer of faint shadow under the eyes. Such Jerry Xiao, not a little sharp, but like a helpless child, let a person’s heartache.
Ah Feng took a heavy breath and pushed down some of the hard feelings that were churning in his heart. Only then did she bend her head and speak softly to him, “President, I’ll leave these to the lawyers.”
“Well …,” he, gently spat out a monotone word, still with his eyes closed, as if he was resting. Afon pursed his lips before saying, “When I came up just now, I met Secretary Bakerin the elevator.”
Hearing this, Jerry Xiao slowly opened his eyes, did not ask, just looked at Afon. Ah Feng spoke heavily, “He knows that we are here …,” paused for a moment, ignoring that sentence, before saying, “So, just now did not come in with us.”
Jerry Xiao did not say anything, only the line of sight fell on the door for a long time, and finally, gently nodded. Yes, such a scene, she does not appear to be good … let her let loose a painful cry, also good …
“I want to rest.” Jerry Xiao whispered as he closed his eyes and leaned back against the pillows. Feng then hurriedly bent over and flattened his hospital bed.
…
Feng led the lawyer out of the door and met Zoeyon the promenade. She was sitting on the promenade in a trance like she had lost her soul. Ah Feng pursed his lips, from the chest of the suit out of the silk scarf out, step forward, silently handed over to Zoey . Looking at the square towel, Zoey froze for a moment, slowly raised the tear-stained four indulgent face to see is Afon, her body slightly shocked, half a long time, only difficult to open the mouth: “has … signed up?”
“Uh-huh.” Afon nodded heavily, placing the square towel in her hand, “Take this will and wipe your face.”
“Thank … you,” her lips, trembling. Without saying anything more, she just took the square towel and put it over her eyes. The square towel, immediately soaked to the skin, her tears ‘snapping, snapping’ downwards. But there was no choking sound, no sobbing sound, only suppressed and heavy gasping …
…
Feng left at some point, and Zoey felt her tears fall before she went to the restroom to wash her face. She patted her pale face, trying to make herself look more energetic. She squeezed out the slightest smile before heading to the hospital room.
When I went in, Jerry Xiao was already lying on the bed with his eyes closed asleep.
Zhan Qingtian and Mrs. Zhan sat on the sofa with sullen faces. Mrs. Zhan’s emotions were similar to hers earlier. The whole person was in a trance, facing a collapse. Zoey was unable to bear it, and walked over to her, whispering softly, “Uncle, take Auntie back first, just leave this place to me. When Jerry wakes up, you guys can come over again.”
Zhan Qingtian looked at his son. Handing him over to Zoey , they couldn’t be more relieved. Sighing and glancing at his wife, who was already limp in his arms, Zhan Qingtian nodded his head after all. In this situation, staying here like this would only add to their sorrow!
After the elders of the Xiao Family left, only Zoey and him were left in the hospital room. She enjoyed the time she had with two people like this, and she could carve him out of her heart in its entirety with impunity.
Fingers, gently tracing over each of his features. His eyebrows, his eyes, his nose, his lips …
Remember he once kissed himself in such a domineering way … Remember he once said, Zoey , this time, won’t let you escape … Remember he said, I love you …
Obviously promised not to let go, but now … he really wants to let go of himself …
With a sour heart, he almost fell into tears again. Before she could dry her tears, the door to the hospital room was knocked on from outside. She immediately wiped away her tears and got up to open the door. Only to see Owen appear with two children. Before going in, the children were already standing outside the door to see their daddy lying on the hospital bed, even though Uncle had reminded them many times beforehand to be strong and not to shed tears, the tears were still ‘snapping’ and falling.
Zoey just had to lean over and hold both kids securely, kissing and coaxing them.
“Baby, don’t cry. Daddy’s sleeping, don’t disturb him, okay?” Her voice was choked.
The two children sobbed, not daring to speak too loudly. Such a suppressed look made it even harder for the adults to watch.
Owen Baker wanted to say something to comfort them, but in the end, he couldn’t say a word and only patted Zoey on the shoulder. It was all in the words.
…
Jerry Xiao woke up with the baby and her, which was naturally the biggest surprise for him.
The kids Ben sits off to the side, silently doing his homework, waiting in the meantime for daddy to wake up. Zoey sits next to them and teaches them. Occasionally correcting their mistakes.
The hospital room, that quiet. You can only hear the occasional soft, soft voice from her, and in front of the children she is much more gentle than usual. In front of the children, she was much more gentle than usual. Jerry Xiao almost lost his concentration, wanting to call them, but afraid to break such a peaceful atmosphere.
It is he who lacks the blessing, and therefore, has no way to enjoy these heavenly …
…
Zoey looked back, glanced at him, looked away, and then, just for a second, darted back again. Zoey’s eyes reddened as she looked into his smiling eyes. She didn’t say anything, just stared at him. The deep gaze conveyed the cherishing and fondness that only each other can understand.
“Daddy!” The two children also realized that he had woken up and called out, their voices already choking. In the next second, they ran over and jumped into his arms. He smiled and opened his arms to wrap the two children in a strong embrace. No matter how tired, no matter how hard, no matter how powerless, however, when he saw her, when he saw the children, his body would suddenly be filled with strength.
“Daddy, you’re going to be okay, aren’t you?”
“We’re going to Daddy and Zoey’s wedding!”
“Zoey said we could be flower girls …”
The children cried and his eyes reddened. He was surprised that he didn’t know how to respond to such a simple expectation from the children.
“Daddy, where do you hurt? Let’s help you huff …”
The child beamed and wept, “Every time we hurt, Zoey huffed and puffed for us and it stopped hurting …”
“Daddy doesn’t hurt.” He responded softly.
Zoey watched the scene and surreptitiously wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before turning back around and sitting on the edge of the bed, “Hungry? Want some soup?”
Jerry Xiao’s hand, reached over and took hers. “Not hungry, sit with me for a while.”
“Good.” She smiled and nodded. Sit for a while … In fact, how she wanted to sit with him until the end of time …
…
Time went on like this, and every day that passed, Zoey became more and more frightened. I don’t know how many times she woke up in the middle of a nightmare, but Ingram brought her an aromatherapy diffuser from Thailand, which she burned to calm her mind, but it didn’t help.
Jerry Xiao, sick in the body. Zoey , sick in the heart. Many times, she wondered, if one day, open your eyes, the most important man in life, just completely disappeared … what she would do?
She really, really wasn’t sure if she had the courage to live any longer.
…
When he passed out again, the doctor shook his head regretfully, “Be prepared for your family to spend more time with him in the last few days.”
Mrs. Zhan let out a wail and fell straight to the ground. Zhan Qintian, hurriedly sent his wife to the first aid. Zoey, but unprecedentedly, not even shed a single tear. The moment the heart is like ashes, even the tears can not fall …
Sea Gu and Owen Baker are outside the hospital room, constantly contacting institute after institute abroad, but in the end it’s just futile.
Gave up … Even the doctors advised them to give up … Everyone, almost.
