Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 653: She Did Not Want To Live

How awesome it is that there’s a chance for her to atone for what she has done.

“Is that Yan Huan?” Madam Lei asked her son carefully, she wanted another confirmation as she was too surprised and too scared to lose her again.

Lei Qingyi nodded. That was her, Lu Yi tied her up on a telegraph pole. She spent two days and two nights in the water before being rescued by someone.

“Then…” Madam Lei wanted to ask anxiously, that was something Ye Shuyun wanted to find out but she could not bring herself to ask the question. She did not dare to ask. Actually none of them have the courage to ask, they were too afraid of the answer itself.

“How about Lu Yi, is he still alive?” Even if he was a living dead, it did not matter as long as he was still breathing and still alive.

Lei Qingyi’s throat rolled up and down, his voice became bitter.

“Lu Yi, he’s… not around anymore…”

Yi Ling’s incomparable panic-stricken voice could be heard as soon as he finished the sentence.

“Eldest aunt, eldest aunt…”

As Lei Qingyi looked toward that direction, he saw Ye Shuyun collapsed to the ground. She had been very anxious and tense, and that was the last straw that broke her.

Lei Qingyi quickly opened up the door of the ward. He Yibin arrived shortly afterward.

“How is it?” Lei Qingyi asked, full of worries.

“How’s my eldest aunt?”

He Yibin let out a sigh, “It’s not something serious, just that her trouble can’t be resolved that easily. Perhaps things will get better after a few days. After all, she’ll need some time to accept the truth. They must accept it even if they don’t want to.”

Lei Qingyi stopped pacing. Now only he realized that the reality was far too cruel. He himself could not accept this cold and hard reality, let alone Ye Shuyun.

They were still clinging to a miracle, hoping that Lu Yi was still alive, hoping that a miracle that had happened to Yan Huan could happen on Lu Yi too. However, in reality, the so-called miracle would not happen to everyone.

As for Lu Yi, he was not that lucky. The miracle did not happen to him.

Yi Ling was wiping Yan Huan’s hands carefully with a towel.

“Huanhuan, you have been sleeping for a long time,” her voice cracked. “Please tell me when you will be waking up. If you continue sleeping like this, you’ll sleep to your death. Lu Yi saved you with his life, he didn’t save you so that you can die.”

Her voice cracked as she was speaking, she felt terrible too.

“Tell me, why did you save me? It should’ve been me who’s supposed to die. But now it became you and Lu Yi. What should I do if something bad were to happen to both of you? How can I ever live with this guilt in my lifetime, how can I bear such stress?”

“If things would really go this way, I’d rather die in the first place.”

“This life was traded with Lu Yi and your life, I don’t want it.”

Then, she held the towel carefully and gently cleaned Yan Huan’s face, “If mom knows that I had turned you into something like this, she would definitely be mad at me. Huanhuan, tell me, what did you owe me in the past lifetime, because I haven’t done anything for you or helped you with anything in this lifetime, yet you saved me with your life.”

She bent over on Yan Huan’s body, sobbing miserably until her face was full of tears.

Tell her, what should she do?

Tell her, how could she atone for her sin?

Tell her, what could she do to make Yan Huan wake up from the coma?

Lu Yi was not around anymore. What should she do if anything were to happen to Yan Huan again?

At that moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

Yi Ling quickly looked up, thinking that it might be Yan Huan, but then she saw that Yan Huan was still lying there motionless and half-dead. She looked totally like a dead person, except that she was breathing.

As for the person standing behind her, it was none other than Lei Qingyi.

“Qingyi, will Huanhuan die if she doesn’t wake up after some time?”

She held Lei Qingyi’s hand tightly, “Is that so? Is that so?” Lei Qingyi could feel his throat was burning with pain.

“Don’t worry, she’ll need some time to wake up. Humans can’t die from sleeping, look at the human vegetables, some live their time even though they have been sleeping for a lifetime, some are in a coma for months and don’t regain consciousness for one to two years. Yan Huan has been asleep for half a month only. The mechanism in her body needs a recovery process. She’s only sleeping, how can she die, right?”

“That’s great, that’s great,” Yi Ling sniffed her nose, wiping Yan Huan’s face carefully, but the tears kept falling from her face as she was wiping.

How could she do this, how could she leave Yan Huan in such a state? She promised Madam Yan that she would take good care of Huanhuan, but now Huanhuan was in a coma. Huanhuan lost half of her life, she even killed the person whom Huanhuan loved the most.

“Huanhuan, you have to wake up, mom will protect you.” She said that every day, word by word, from time to time. She was afraid that if she did not talk to Yan Huan, Yan Huan would live in a silent world and would be trapped there.

“What should I do if you’re going to be like this. What about Lu Yi’s parents? They are Lu Yi’s dearest family members. What are they going to do when they age? Who’s going to take care of them? Who’s going to be with them at their last moments? They’ve already lost Lu Yi. Do you want them to lose you as well?”

She kept mumbling about it but Yan Huan could not hear her at all.

Suddenly, she felt that there was a water droplet on Yan Huan’s face, she could not help but feel happy for her.

“Huanhuan, Huanhuan…” She shouted excitedly, thinking that Yan Huan was about to wake up. However, she saw another water droplet when she took a closer look, dropping on Yan Huan’s face from mid-air.

In the same position, the same water droplet.

She wiped her face, and then she realized that it was actually her tears.

Then, she put that towel on Yan Huan’s face and wiped the tear drop off.

She sniffled her nose. “I’ll get you a bowl of hot water, I know you are a very hygienic person, I’ll help you wipe your body until you’re all clean so that you can sleep peacefully.”

She took the bowl, turned around ready to leave, but she turned around all of a sudden and glared at the lady in a coma. “Huanhuan, is this really what you want? Are you going to be half-dead and half-alive, let the people around you to see the most pathetic side of you, letting people treat you like cattle, is this how you repay Lu Yi for saving your life?”

“You can hate me, you can complain, but why would you dross and turn yourself into something like this? If you are happy with yourself in such a state, then I only have one sentence for you, Yan Huan. I despise you, I despise you.”
