"Severe pneumonia. Looks like he never sought after any medical attention."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnVfoTachS
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc83uwtDfmt
"If you had arrived a little earlier, perhaps he could have been saved."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dl4BKsUD4
The man closed his eyes. Under the table, his hands were trembling a little, as if the news had shaken him really bad.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmG9qQ7u77
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg38W7hy5cU
Why bother now when it's too late?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpj0HsAxln
Where were you when I was suffering?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf4uzpVJ5m
Where were you when I desperately called you, again and again?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwcyq77pf4
Didn't you tell me to get lost? To not trouble your precious Ah Zhen?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTVXFE5LiQ
Li Yuanhao sighed. He didn't look at his brother again and left the room. He wandered the hospital in a daze.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIntmIWvyJp
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa1C5rlb2S
Li Yuanhao paused.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5fsxqVsRW
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?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcmaN7iLF9
"Pretty gege!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUPqYapHHd
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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CdiG70SSe
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbFHKLvXpO
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6WJQMJHsg
The child too was a spirit like him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHddT50Bh75
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyPDATz29h
Li Yuanhao couldn't even imagine the pain his parents must be going through.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4V3VdwcIj
Losing a child at such a young age, it must be agonizing.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Pc8G3St0
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPkQFqtz8z
With his initiative, the young boy touched his face as well, looking a little giddy. "Pretty gege."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBPb3Ei76Z
Li Yuanhao smiled. "Was it painful?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSyOLWlNEX
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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhaTWngUTU
He then looked up at Li Yuanhao. "What about you?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eF6bEHW9j
Li Yuanhao only shrugged.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ665R5rm0as
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS5Rxe7Pfj
The child looked around curiously. "Gege, I heard there's a big garden here. Let's go over there!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49qJrDLXEl
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?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg7WHqb9NH
"Papa calls me Mumu. Pretty gege, you can call me Mumu!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXscFOFo98
Li Yuanhao laughed. "En, Mumu."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTogb09liFV
Mumu laughed as if he was really happy and one adult and one child rushed through the hospital halls to the vast garden.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBta5piRZqf
The garden was bigger than he expected, with stone pathways, hundreds of flowers and even a small lake with a pavilion.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWsKRV4U43
Li Yuanhao felt like he could really feel the freshness of the air.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFSSFgPav
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJQ9iBcczM
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkKL4L0VrY
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWHkIOfnLQ
After a little while, Mumu came back to him and climbed to his lap with familiarity which amused Li Yuanhao.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCibyYtEFie
All his life, he was never involved with such a young child so he didn't know how to put it into words.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqF0ZSS8jc
"Pretty gege, papa told me to make a wish before I leave. What should I do?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoipcyb8UU
Li Yuanhao was confused. "Why?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosjHBOAI6r
Mumu shook his head. "Maybe it will come true?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlPf7rHdke
Li Yuanhao thought so too. He said, "Then why don't you wish for your mommy and papa's happiness?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZahxfF7RBC
Unexpectedly, his words made Mumu sad.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bifYyLH4d
Li Yuanhao panicked. "What's the matter?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpXNo3Y9Nu
Mumu pouted. "I don't have a mommy."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMoMkKZdgP
Li Yuanhao : "O-oh? I'm sorry, I didn't know-"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsx44rjh9o
"Because I was born sick, mommy didn't want want me."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziZBYw76zZ
Li Yuanhao was furious. What kind of a mother is that? Why would a mother abandon her sick child?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurAYIUBHRs
"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…
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBx7xHo8WB
Mumu looked at him curiously. "Gege, what did you wish for?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBSZF7Re4P
Li Yuanhao didn't hide it from the child. "I wished that Mumu can get a healthy body next time."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA0XCoyK87
Bright eyes lit up like fireworks. "Really!?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ647cFllqNx
As soon as he affirmed, a vortex of darkness hit them.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvl3q4enct
Li Yuanhao and Mumu got separated immediately and Li Yuanhao called out in panic, "Mumu!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgdGP9AF2W
No one answered him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP02zNEf3rs
Li Yuanhao struggled against the darkness. It was like a huge serpent, coiling around him tightly, engulfing him in suffocating darkness.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s38LBe1Cp
No.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjWygQFc86
No!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF94zIUNUy
His struggles were futile. Before he got completely engulfed, Li Yuanhao saw an apparition.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u6v6kcKiK
It was a woman dressed in a red cheongsam.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSyGXQF2RL
Li Yuanhao's pupils were constricted.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBRiBPxpz
The woman had a smile on her face. "Wake up, Yuanhao."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceWB44K3Mr
Mom!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3xcrDB90C
Suddenly, the serpent of darkness let him go.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lNR2G6Z7
And Li Yuanhao fell!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGtEG8DCNz
