"Severe pneumonia. Looks like he never sought after any medical attention."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQzxIEx7HH
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX8lTTKi2T
"If you had arrived a little earlier, perhaps he could have been saved."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjjHCUI3OF
The man closed his eyes. Under the table, his hands were trembling a little, as if the news had shaken him really bad.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8z7ERDWfS
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eUDNszVMu
Why bother now when it's too late?
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvTAldqJ5o
Where were you when I was suffering?
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbM0GkEdhj
Where were you when I desperately called you, again and again?
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRmixeolsM
Didn't you tell me to get lost? To not trouble your precious Ah Zhen?
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3hiRZFubx
Li Yuanhao sighed. He didn't look at his brother again and left the room. He wandered the hospital in a daze.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvx7Hlbdii
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RwtozWSQt
Li Yuanhao paused.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4wlnKJd65
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?
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlGuZbv0MN
"Pretty gege!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJg7eizKq0
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."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJP0MWRp5q
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EnsAyafCo
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZmwkZQfR
The child too was a spirit like him.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqttEYhHeLP
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO9l7dNz9i
Li Yuanhao couldn't even imagine the pain his parents must be going through.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tFukPGdRa
Losing a child at such a young age, it must be agonizing.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi55wfQ9Vx
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJ2sF1qko
With his initiative, the young boy touched his face as well, looking a little giddy. "Pretty gege."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKt4itlHkK
Li Yuanhao smiled. "Was it painful?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvBXyCgOt6
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."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIvC9PVxL2
He then looked up at Li Yuanhao. "What about you?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGzVavXioP
Li Yuanhao only shrugged.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJYlQn12j2
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRi5p2jFmK
The child looked around curiously. "Gege, I heard there's a big garden here. Let's go over there!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ9VnoYkrq
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?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhATThr2g
"Papa calls me Mumu. Pretty gege, you can call me Mumu!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng1ttqVsSh
Li Yuanhao laughed. "En, Mumu."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWQqxUXBIh
Mumu laughed as if he was really happy and one adult and one child rushed through the hospital halls to the vast garden.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKZaNEq7C1
The garden was bigger than he expected, with stone pathways, hundreds of flowers and even a small lake with a pavilion.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaibyUTnmRD
Li Yuanhao felt like he could really feel the freshness of the air.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU7OIY6Ena
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmrET0ohU
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVgBfcOMI0
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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxmoihwLgc
After a little while, Mumu came back to him and climbed to his lap with familiarity which amused Li Yuanhao.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaj4VibnLH
All his life, he was never involved with such a young child so he didn't know how to put it into words.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ2v7yXzar
"Pretty gege, papa told me to make a wish before I leave. What should I do?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoFM48KtJv
Li Yuanhao was confused. "Why?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9aD7Hkff7
Mumu shook his head. "Maybe it will come true?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSaPU7IMNo
Li Yuanhao thought so too. He said, "Then why don't you wish for your mommy and papa's happiness?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItvrNRGC4P
Unexpectedly, his words made Mumu sad.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQV852Ssj8
Li Yuanhao panicked. "What's the matter?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUklnw7wEU
Mumu pouted. "I don't have a mommy."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9H5rrkYPz
Li Yuanhao : "O-oh? I'm sorry, I didn't know-"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RU2oZf8eF
"Because I was born sick, mommy didn't want want me."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHVf2HCcbG
Li Yuanhao was furious. What kind of a mother is that? Why would a mother abandon her sick child?
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZALUfnabr
"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…
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInLUi52Pe0
Mumu looked at him curiously. "Gege, what did you wish for?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9hl3fLwS9
Li Yuanhao didn't hide it from the child. "I wished that Mumu can get a healthy body next time."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhug4s4xOb
Bright eyes lit up like fireworks. "Really!?"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FLC7drudL
As soon as he affirmed, a vortex of darkness hit them.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpqbebIvYM
Li Yuanhao and Mumu got separated immediately and Li Yuanhao called out in panic, "Mumu!"
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfI3AkD0uH
No one answered him.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYINkJaK13Q
Li Yuanhao struggled against the darkness. It was like a huge serpent, coiling around him tightly, engulfing him in suffocating darkness.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvsy01EBK
No.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUX3lq6eEl
No!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLcvEVh525
His struggles were futile. Before he got completely engulfed, Li Yuanhao saw an apparition.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5SDhKMld
It was a woman dressed in a red cheongsam.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVRR5uPUcQ
Li Yuanhao's pupils were constricted.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgjO5K140l
The woman had a smile on her face. "Wake up, Yuanhao."
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtxs03AcKl
Mom!
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0UxGwf8zX
Suddenly, the serpent of darkness let him go.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yUd2KwriM
And Li Yuanhao fell!
