"Severe pneumonia. Looks like he never sought after any medical attention."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAcqmTR2y
The young Doctor flipped through the file with a straight face and glanced at the tall man sitting opposite to him. His words were straight and even a little heartless.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJgrK8DTb
"If you had arrived a little earlier, perhaps he could have been saved."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE1yMWUC44
The man closed his eyes. Under the table, his hands were trembling a little, as if the news had shaken him really bad.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHL36MuXFM
Standing beside the window, Li Yuanhao looked at his elder brother who was trying to hold back his emotions and a cold glint flashed in his long willow like eyes.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28MRa0SIzL
Why bother now when it's too late?
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2cDm81ESZ
Where were you when I was suffering?
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCTef3YSkc
Where were you when I desperately called you, again and again?
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSImV0JiHB
Didn't you tell me to get lost? To not trouble your precious Ah Zhen?
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGjhZCVjV
Li Yuanhao sighed. He didn't look at his brother again and left the room. He wandered the hospital in a daze.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lQXT9Leb2
People rushed here and there and doctors and nurses dressed in scrubs were among them as well. Some had joyous expression and some had the look of pure relief. Some were heartbroken, sobbing on the floor, blaming themselves and then blaming the gods.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafuzYEfOsp
Li Yuanhao paused.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hszr908od
Why bother blaming the god? Was there even a god? If there really was a god who could relieve the humans of their misery, why would there be so much pain and sadness in this world?
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKrsfvA4LU
"Pretty gege!"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmEzfWAeJ
Li Yuanhao was startled. He swiftly looked to his right and saw a child about seven or eight and was dressed in a typical hospital gown.
The child was looking at him with a pair of bright and innocent eyes. He called out again, "Pretty gege."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAds125c2K
Li Yuanhao blushed. He then looked around to see if there was someone else and found the corridor deserted. Looking back at the child, Li Yuanhao realized something else.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKquA8FbO4n
Li Yuanhao had long noticed the unnatural hazy white light that surrounded his body. Now that he looked closely, the child also seemed to have that hazy white light.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w2IbpMBgr
The child too was a spirit like him.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PXxproFB9
Despite the bright and smiling child, the realization made him sad. He was only seven or eight with a long and bright future ahead of him. Yet, it abruptly ended just like that.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRn4KXy3t6
Li Yuanhao couldn't even imagine the pain his parents must be going through.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjkQbnmMDG
Losing a child at such a young age, it must be agonizing.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD3bovckB4
The young man knelt in front of the child. He raised his hand with hesitation and touched the child's cheek. It was a little warm.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdxfGwlZN4
With his initiative, the young boy touched his face as well, looking a little giddy. "Pretty gege."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WtPJ7UQJs
Li Yuanhao smiled. "Was it painful?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqELkjxf0sy
The child seemed to understand what he was asking. Little fingers poked at his cheeks and touched his hair. "It's okay. I had been sick for a long time so I'm used to it."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZgzgGRIFW
He then looked up at Li Yuanhao. "What about you?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHJwuRIeKM
Li Yuanhao only shrugged.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFm5HwprM6
It was really painful though. His lungs were filled and every night he feared he might cough his lungs out. But it was something Li Yuanhao brought upon himself so he couldn't complain.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARzqFNaHJN
The child looked around curiously. "Gege, I heard there's a big garden here. Let's go over there!"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fxsPWfoPu
Li Yuanhao didn't know so the child took it upon himself to guide him. Along the way Li Yuanhao realized that they had yet to share their names. He asked, "What's your name?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0iYfqM7XL
"Papa calls me Mumu. Pretty gege, you can call me Mumu!"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hqppi6vRo
Li Yuanhao laughed. "En, Mumu."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpn4L93NEA
Mumu laughed as if he was really happy and one adult and one child rushed through the hospital halls to the vast garden.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuJqoeDvjL
The garden was bigger than he expected, with stone pathways, hundreds of flowers and even a small lake with a pavilion.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeAyPwHbib
Li Yuanhao felt like he could really feel the freshness of the air.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEqbiFh9z4
Mumu had long let go his hand and was now running around the garden. He looked so happy outside, Li Yuanhao could imagine how hard it must have been for him to remain indoors due to his illness.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tU9bjX38J
The happiness of a child was really something to witness. Unknowingly, the darkness that was brewing in his chest gradually disappeared until there was only a clear blue sky.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPwPSwCiTs
Li Yuanhao sat on the grass and looked up at the sky. Even if he was dead, it felt really good to feel a little happiness.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds7qbxdvVB
After a little while, Mumu came back to him and climbed to his lap with familiarity which amused Li Yuanhao.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5R6dA8o3I
All his life, he was never involved with such a young child so he didn't know how to put it into words.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZk4Glcf7f
"Pretty gege, papa told me to make a wish before I leave. What should I do?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJaXoKGKY6
Li Yuanhao was confused. "Why?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT1LxLwHFD
Mumu shook his head. "Maybe it will come true?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyCQUwWaFh
Li Yuanhao thought so too. He said, "Then why don't you wish for your mommy and papa's happiness?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawjT344Xbp
Unexpectedly, his words made Mumu sad.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihkUtwlNck
Li Yuanhao panicked. "What's the matter?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nEwTqqwkd
Mumu pouted. "I don't have a mommy."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzzWFfcO9t
Li Yuanhao : "O-oh? I'm sorry, I didn't know-"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Dqw64roM
"Because I was born sick, mommy didn't want want me."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJuDm4XwrP
Li Yuanhao was furious. What kind of a mother is that? Why would a mother abandon her sick child?
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMktJHVVWPG
"But papa is enough. And papa must be really sad without Mumu. So I'll wish for papa's happiness." Saying that, Mumu diligently clapped his hands together and seriously muttered a few words. Li Yuanhao smiled and copied his actions. If it would really come true then…
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWcMpucCrY
Mumu looked at him curiously. "Gege, what did you wish for?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHkWM9GLur
Li Yuanhao didn't hide it from the child. "I wished that Mumu can get a healthy body next time."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7blCPzJaW
Bright eyes lit up like fireworks. "Really!?"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERpoMZpvNG
As soon as he affirmed, a vortex of darkness hit them.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagQY5zrbXl
Li Yuanhao and Mumu got separated immediately and Li Yuanhao called out in panic, "Mumu!"
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZg7RCFjQ
No one answered him.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Q3HkLpPX
Li Yuanhao struggled against the darkness. It was like a huge serpent, coiling around him tightly, engulfing him in suffocating darkness.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJzGU1Cbo
No.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjpQdXa5vE
No!
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvEQvYU55f
His struggles were futile. Before he got completely engulfed, Li Yuanhao saw an apparition.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNE4ctcyHd
It was a woman dressed in a red cheongsam.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ5hfFD7Qx
Li Yuanhao's pupils were constricted.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWgGkjrRTb
The woman had a smile on her face. "Wake up, Yuanhao."
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ7pKZInjU
Mom!
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5gMuQzbyW
Suddenly, the serpent of darkness let him go.
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMqai4ae3o
And Li Yuanhao fell!
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf1iaK0hSe
