Chapter 296: Difficult to Accept_1
“He’s actually also in this hospital, not far away. You should go see for yourself, but you should brace yourself.”
Wenya sighed deeply.
You could tell that she initially planned to conceal it, so as not to upset me.
But I wanted to know the truth, rather than living a fantasy.
I’ve already lost everything. What else do I have to fear?
He’s in this same hospital.
Should be easy to find him.
Shortly after, Wenya led me to another ward.
This was the intensive care unit.
Through the glass door, I could see Song Zexi lying on the hospital bed, his body also riddled with various tubes.
From the looks of him, he wasn’t much different from Yinuo.
“What on earth is going on?”
Wenya sighed,
“Su Peisheng had his friend investigate it. On the day of your accident with Yinuo, Song Zexi also had a car accident. However, the area he had the accident in is a CCTV blind spot. We can’t find any conclusive evidence. As long as Song Zexi remains unconscious, we have no way of learning what happened.”
I gripped the door handle tightly and bitterly laughed,
“Is there even a need to ask? It was certainly Gu Yuanzhou’s doing!”
“Do you have evidence?”
“No, but Song Zexi is the only one who knew the information I had… and Gu Yuanzhou also knew about this matter. This indicates he must have met with Song Zexi. He possibly even kidnapped Song Zexi using illicit methods. Threatening, forcing or even torturing him into giving him the information he wanted. Then, he’d off Song Zexi to ensure his silence. Oh, murder carries significant risks. Turning someone into a vegetable is much safer.”
My words stunned Wenya for a moment.
She stared at me in shock, finally saying,
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, it seems plausible.”
“It’s not just plausible, I’m certain. I know Gu Yuanzhou too well, that’s just the kind of person he is!”
“Ayun, what are you planning to do next?”
“I don’t know, Wenya. Can you give me some time to think about what to do next?”
“Then… we already arranged with Su Peisheng to look for a hospital in the United States. When the time comes, will you accompany us to the United States for Yinuo’s treatment?”
“Yes, good, you go ahead and prepare!”
My emotions are currently a whirlwind, to a degree of sadness and anger that words can’t describe. I simply can’t stop to think about anything.`
Fortunately, Wenya is a remarkable help.
She has lent me a considerable hand.
The entire day, I remained in the hospital, at Yinou’s side the entire time.
I bought flowers, opened the window, letting the fresh air carry the fragrance of flowers to his nostrils.
I picked up a book, sat next to his hospital bed, and read to him word by word.
I held his hand, repeatedly calling his name.
I was hoping for a miracle…
In the afternoon, Aunt Ding appeared unexpectedly.
At that time, Ding Xiao was also here…
“Mom, why are you here?”
Ding Xiao was clearly panicked.
With her hands on her chest, Aunt Ding cried in distress,
“You child! Your brother is in this state, why didn’t you notify me?”
Aunt Ding cried herself into a faint…
Ding Xiao held back tears, allowing Aunt Ding to hit him without dodging, he took it all.
For that moment, the entire ward was filled with grief.
I quickly went up to help Aunt Ding up and explained to her,
“Your big brother didn’t tell you in order to prevent you from getting upset! He bore all of it alone.”
With tears in her eyes, Aunt Ding looked at Yinuo, who had become a vegetative person, and let out a wail, her sorrow was heartbreaking.
“Why is my life so hard! I just lost my husband, and now my son is gone! God, why didn’t you take me too?”
I too have had the pain of losing a child.
The grief Aunt Ding was going through deeply resonated with me.
The best I could do was to comfort her as much as possible, in the hopes of easing her overwhelming pain.
“Aunt, don’t be upset. Yinuo is just in a temporary coma, he will wake up!”
Wiping the tears off her face, Aunt Ding looked at me,
“Really! When have I ever lied to you! This has scientific evidence and experts to back it up, I even asked a friend in the United States about it. Once we make the final plans, we will take Yinuo to the US for treatment.”
“My child! Hearing your words gives me hope.”
Aunt Ding stopped crying, she began questioning me,
“So when will he wake up?”
“At most in three months!”
I gave her a random timeline.
I thought to myself, I must first comfort her and then think about the treatment later on.
Aunt Ding’s emotions gradually stabilized, and she no longer wished herself dead.
I chatted with Aunt Ding for quite some time, talking about some company matters, we chatted for over an hour.
It wasn’t until then that Ding Xiao finally took Aunt Ding back home.
Before she left, Aunt Ding held my hand, her eyes filled with tears,
“Xiaosong! Yinuo is now in your hands!”
“Aunt, don’t be polite! Taking care of him is my duty.”
“Alas, just a while ago he told me… that he isn’t fortunate enough to marry you! I even encouraged him, saying you’re a woman who should be cherished… I thought you were going to leave him! It turns out, your feelings for Yinuo are genuine.”
Hearing what Aunt Ding said made me feel even more guilty.
If it weren’t for me, Yinuo wouldn’t be in such a state.
I dare not say more than necessary, I can only promise to do my best to wake him up.
After sending Aunt Ding off, I stayed with Yinuo for quite a while.
When night fell, I took a towel and helped him wash his face and his hands…
I know that although he is in a vegetative state, he is not a vegetable, he is still very much a human being.
Perhaps his soul is just trapped inside his body, his consciousness could still be active, he can feel but is unable to respond.
If that is the case, I must let him feel the warmth of being alive.
Past eight in the evening, my phone suddenly rang.
Although this mobile phone was new and bought by Wenya, it had already been fitted with my old SIM card.
At this moment, the person calling was a familiar number.
It was none other than Wu Lijuan.
I had been wanting to see her for a while now, and unexpected she took the initiative to contact me.
Without any hesitation, I picked up the call.
“Is this Xiaosong?”
“Yes, Aunt are you okay?”
“I…couldn’t get through to you, I just did.”
“I’m sorry, I had an accident and only recently recovered my mobile phone.”
“Are you free now? I want to see you!”
“Alright! Just give me the address, I’m coming right now!”
“At…Lakeside Café! I’ll wait for you here!”
“Okay, I’m on my way!”
After hanging up the phone, I said to Yinuo,
“Yinuo, I have to go see Aunt Wu for a bit, you stay here by yourself for a while, I’ll be back later to keep you company!”
Half an hour later, I took a cab to the café Wu Lijuan had specified.
Just as I was about to enter, I spotted a familiar face.
It was Gu Yuanzhou!
The man dressed in a black suit with a very strong presence could be felt even from quite a distance.
He was sitting opposite to Wu Lijuan, sipping his coffee, checking his phone, seemingly waiting for my arrival.
