"Severe pneumonia. Looks like he never sought after any medical attention."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogsyf0qioW
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9rwNpHSG3
"If you had arrived a little earlier, perhaps he could have been saved."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWN5y4dJBk
The man closed his eyes. Under the table, his hands were trembling a little, as if the news had shaken him really bad.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMDG5LH7en
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rvYZwusfP
Why bother now when it's too late?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqINJSoPGsO
Where were you when I was suffering?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZQMhQIDbi
Where were you when I desperately called you, again and again?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkFBulxEVo
Didn't you tell me to get lost? To not trouble your precious Ah Zhen?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwgymy2xgx
Li Yuanhao sighed. He didn't look at his brother again and left the room. He wandered the hospital in a daze.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX3Xe69VRp
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnTVr2NvQj
Li Yuanhao paused.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooWwYj4AlA
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?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cJ3YyXqd6
"Pretty gege!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXa1aD2kx
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy0lxNRna9
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGStjfpcKj
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD0uOt9sGA
The child too was a spirit like him.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgle2ymuvQI
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHaFb9okf5
Li Yuanhao couldn't even imagine the pain his parents must be going through.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BapUOyO6
Losing a child at such a young age, it must be agonizing.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCleBj7ZzA
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALJknCJZB4
With his initiative, the young boy touched his face as well, looking a little giddy. "Pretty gege."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEh8SZjZsb
Li Yuanhao smiled. "Was it painful?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp36VbJxmHM
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LqFtlUzAC
He then looked up at Li Yuanhao. "What about you?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvovsJUAno
Li Yuanhao only shrugged.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tNuXIFgQ1
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB0YfJydGc
The child looked around curiously. "Gege, I heard there's a big garden here. Let's go over there!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyY1Ljd8kr
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?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7y8wA6Tp
"Papa calls me Mumu. Pretty gege, you can call me Mumu!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvAjsLhZYP
Li Yuanhao laughed. "En, Mumu."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ONmOm1ck
Mumu laughed as if he was really happy and one adult and one child rushed through the hospital halls to the vast garden.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6SVKBMDUx
The garden was bigger than he expected, with stone pathways, hundreds of flowers and even a small lake with a pavilion.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7t8usMzfn
Li Yuanhao felt like he could really feel the freshness of the air.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZa5l0WkqV
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKvbnIE43G
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9jfmjWMKI
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzfWaiuqjX
After a little while, Mumu came back to him and climbed to his lap with familiarity which amused Li Yuanhao.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnpES68CRk
All his life, he was never involved with such a young child so he didn't know how to put it into words.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuJZwZa7Xz
"Pretty gege, papa told me to make a wish before I leave. What should I do?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKbTEe7fZQ
Li Yuanhao was confused. "Why?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHBCnvlDKN
Mumu shook his head. "Maybe it will come true?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilweb7yplt
Li Yuanhao thought so too. He said, "Then why don't you wish for your mommy and papa's happiness?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZQL4UBU2c
Unexpectedly, his words made Mumu sad.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FMj9bxRh1
Li Yuanhao panicked. "What's the matter?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqYa7t135v
Mumu pouted. "I don't have a mommy."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqVN5rqhcT
Li Yuanhao : "O-oh? I'm sorry, I didn't know-"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmNGqTyy7
"Because I was born sick, mommy didn't want want me."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1k9LtGz5R
Li Yuanhao was furious. What kind of a mother is that? Why would a mother abandon her sick child?
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK8PjyZ4Lq
"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…
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMlbbs7YG
Mumu looked at him curiously. "Gege, what did you wish for?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKsF7hJrEw
Li Yuanhao didn't hide it from the child. "I wished that Mumu can get a healthy body next time."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgulGLmfT6
Bright eyes lit up like fireworks. "Really!?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWmcPWlYbb
As soon as he affirmed, a vortex of darkness hit them.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bZnyWCX7B
Li Yuanhao and Mumu got separated immediately and Li Yuanhao called out in panic, "Mumu!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuhIelHXWQ
No one answered him.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM0vbemvvu
Li Yuanhao struggled against the darkness. It was like a huge serpent, coiling around him tightly, engulfing him in suffocating darkness.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86DOVDBNtb
No.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ1HjWnkug
No!
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqgx0ov9cU
His struggles were futile. Before he got completely engulfed, Li Yuanhao saw an apparition.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfQvN3PDE6
It was a woman dressed in a red cheongsam.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fG8xfuhIp
Li Yuanhao's pupils were constricted.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFroEB22pX
The woman had a smile on her face. "Wake up, Yuanhao."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhBwemHuL
Mom!
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsPSEbZYoL
Suddenly, the serpent of darkness let him go.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL9wBetYzS
And Li Yuanhao fell!
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ncE0NE62
