The wedding later was done according to the flow, and Mama Bai had been working hard to cooperate.
Halfway through the restroom, she had been in the be absent-minded, looking worried.
The look in Huo Yunchen’s eyes was strange, as if there were more emotions.
Huo Yunchen thought she was worried about Murong Zheng’s body, but it was not entirely true.
By the time they served their parents tea, Murong Zheng had already left early.
It was his grandfather who accepted the toast on Murong Zheng’s behalf, even though his grandfather had always told her that his father was fine.
But how could she rest assured?
If it was really okay, how could she miss such an important segment as her daughter’s toast?
And his former subordinates were all gone.
Imperial Counsellor Bai gently toasted to Huo Zhifan and Shen Qingyue without saying a word.
She rushed to leave first and went back to the lounge to call Murong Qingxue.
This action caused Huo Zhentiing to feel dissatisfied. He continued to nag, “Look, what did I say?” There is no upbringing at all. How can a wild child like this be the Granddaughter-in-law of our Huo family?
Every day, he wanted to greet Grandfather and Grandmother, but he heard Grandfather Yang say bad things about his mother.
Elder Huo shouted angrily, “My mother is not an uneducated child. She is the best mother in the world.” Grandfather, you are the most uneducated old man I have ever seen. You are far inferior to Grandfather Yang.
Hearing this, Huo Zhifan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He saw that the walking stick in his hand was about to hit him.
Huo Zhifan quickly caught him in his arms to protect him. He coaxed the elder and said, “Dad, Dad, don’t the same level as SB with the child. He just wants to protect his mother.”
“What kind of mother will teach a son, something uneducated.”
Every day, he was very angry that he had struggled out of his grandfather’s arms and wanted to continue his theory with him. How could Huo Zhen dare to let him say another word?
She quickly covered his mouth and gave Shen Qingyue a look. Shen Qingyue immediately stood up.
“Dad, it’s getting late, I’ll send you home to rest. Let’s not worry about the children’s affairs and let them go there by themselves. They have to bear the consequences of living well and not worry about others.
Only Shen Qingyue’s words could calm the elder down.
The elder glared at her every day, threw the soup spoon in his hand and stood up.
“It’s really hard to drink today, and the food is hard to eat. Let’s go, Qingyue.”
After sending the elder away, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Only then did Huo Zhi dare to observe the day properly.
In the lounge, Mama Bai gently sat on her phone.
Murong Qingxue hadn’t picked up the phone and she called several times.
While she was calling, she anxiously paced back and forth in the room and finally waited for Murong Qingxue to pick up.
“Aunty, what’s wrong with my dad?” Where did he go? What’s wrong with his eyes?
She had too many questions.
Murong Qingxue wiped her tears while pretending to be calm, “Hello, your father is fine. He’s just an old illness. Don’t worry about having your wedding.”
“What is the old illness?” Why had she never heard Father mention it? Why did he lie to me that he was carrying out a mission? Aunty, where is Papa now? Aunty, how can I feel at ease if you don’t tell me?
Bai Luochu cried softly and tried to suppress her tears.
Murong Qingxue hesitated for a long time before saying the name of the hospital.
At the end, he added, “Gentle, your dad didn’t want you to know, but I think you should come and send your dad off.”
“On the final journey?” How could it be?
Bai Luochu’s head was humming softly like a mountain collapsing.
She had no time to change her toasting gown and rushed out of the hotel. She opened the wedding car outside and drove straight to the military hospital.
In her mind, she was thinking about her aunt’s ‘final journey’.
Huo Yunchen had just exchanged pleasantries with a few important partners when he saw a familiar old lady on the table in the corner.
That woman was Mama’s primary doctor. Back then, he spent money to make her up with her mother’s illness and the situation before her death.
She never wanted to see this woman again, but why was she here?
“Liu Mo, why is she here?”
Liu Mo said with a shocked expression, “Sir, we don’t seem to send her an invitation card.”
Huo Yunchen really wanted to walk towards the woman when he turned his head and saw Bai Luochu running out in a red dress.
“Liu Mo, I’m leaving this to you.”
He didn’t have time to think about it. At this moment, he just wanted to follow gently.
No matter where she wanted to go.
She knew her father was sick, or did she hear what the old lady said?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost his composure like this. His father’s illness wasn’t what he was worried about, but the old lady’s words were what took his life the most.
…
At the military hospital, when Mama Bai arrived gently, she happened to catch up with Murong Zheng coming out of the operating room.
Mama Bai gently rushed up to grab the doctor’s hand and asked him, “How is my father?” Is he alright now?
The doctor shook his head regretfully. “What is there to say? If there is anything you want to do, hurry up and do it. He doesn’t have much time left.”
“Why, what illness did my dad get?” When did he get sick? Why is his eyes invisible?
Bai Luochu gently shook her head and bit her lips. She grabbed the doctor and refused to let go.
Murong Qingxue stepped forward and pulled her. “gently, don’t be like this.”
“Aunty, don’t pull me.” I just want to know what kind of illness my dad has, I must know.
Bai Luochu glanced at Murong Qingxue with her reddened eyes and stared stubbornly at the doctor.
The medical growth sighed and said: “The head of the body found it half a year ago that it was liver cancer. Originally, he could have a year’s lifespan, but because of the transplant of the eye, the illness a sudden turn for the worse is caused. The family members can now quietly let the patient leave.
Eye transplant operation?
Mama Bai repeated softly.
When she thought about her eyes, her focus suddenly became unbalanced and she almost fell.
Thankfully, Murong Qingxue supported her.
“Be gentle, calm down.”
Bai Luochu gently raised her eyes and looked at her aunt with a faltering voice, “Aunty, you already know, right?” My eyes were given to me by dad, right?
All of you have been lying to me for such a long time. You lied to me that Papa had gone on a mission. Actually, he donated his eyelids for me and was seriously ill for me.
Murong Qingxue didn’t dare to look at her. Her eyes were full of tears.
Every question of her was like a knife cutting her heart, but what could she do?
“Child, don’t cry, don’t cry. Your father is afraid that you will cry, afraid that you will be sad.”
Bai Luochu blinked and tears fell like jade. Her heart ached so much that even her breathing was painful.
When Huo Yunchen arrived, Bai Luochu was pushing her father’s bed back into the ward.
He went up to help but she pushed him away.
“Go away, you already know, right?” You clearly know that my dad used his eyelids to treat me, so why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you stop him? Huo Yunchen, why are you so selfish? You are afraid that you have an incomplete wife. You can tell me that I told you that I won’t burden you. But why do you want my dad to use his own eyelids to save me?
Bai Luochu stared at Huo Yunchen with her eyes full of determination, and said in a every single word or phrase gnashing teeth.
She felt pain in her heart and resentment towards Huo Yunchen.
Huo Yunchen’s lips trembled slightly. He wanted to explain but he had nothing to say.
He reached out to wipe her tears and said in a deep voice, “Don’t cry, gently. Don’t cry.”
