Chapter 132

"You're here." With a heavy face, Zhou's father supported his wife, whose face was as pale as paper and whose body was trembling slightly. He slowly turned his eyes to him at the door and spoke with difficulty.

Ouyang walked over hurriedly, looking past Zhou's father and mother and straight at the figure in the ward who was rolling and twisting on the bed in pain and screaming heart-wrenchingly - that was Zhou Ling'er, the woman he loved deeply in his heart.

Seeing Zhou Ling'er in such pain, Ouyang's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. It hurt so much that he could hardly breathe. His eyes instantly became moist, and his eyes were filled with indescribable heartache and pity.

"I'm sorry..." Ouyang murmured to himself, his voice low and hoarse, filled with endless self-blame and regret.

He wished that the person suffering in the hospital bed at this moment was himself, instead of the girl in front of him who broke his heart.

At this moment, Zhou's mother, who had been suppressing her grief, suddenly reached out and grabbed Ouyang who was about to rush into the ward, and knelt on her knees without any warning.

Ouyang was horrified when he saw this, and quickly bent down to help Zhou's mother up, shouting anxiously: "Auntie, what are you doing! Get up quickly!"

However, Zhou's mother stubbornly refused to get up, and tears burst out from her red and swollen eyes like a flood.

"I beg you, Ouyang. Ling'er doesn't have much time left. Even if she has become like this now, I beg you to pretend to like her so that she can leave in peace and not leave this world with any regrets." Zhou's mother pleaded painfully in tears.

She knew that this request might be a bit too much for Ouyang, but as a mother, she only hoped that her daughter could feel a little warmth and love in the last moments of her life.

After hearing this, Ouyang's eyes became redder and he shook his head desperately, tears rolling down his face uncontrollably.

"Auntie, don't say that. How can this be considered an injustice? I love Ling'er. No matter what she becomes, my feelings will not change. You don't have to be like this." Having said this, Ouyang choked up and could no longer speak.

Zhou's father, who was standing by, felt a pang of sadness when he saw his wife begging so humbly.

He walked forward, patted Ouyang's shoulder gently, and said sincerely: "The doctor said Ling'er can only hold on for another year at most, and in the days to come, the pain she will have to endure will become more and more severe."

"We really can't bear to see her walk to the end alone, so please stay with her for the last year. As long as you agree, I am willing to exchange my entire Zhou Group for her."

"Uncle and aunt, please don't say that! There is only Ling'er in my heart. No matter what she looks like now, she is still the Ling'er whom I love deeply!

If I cared about this, why would I show up here? "Ouyang said sincerely, his eyes full of affection and determination.

"In the days to come, I will take good care of Ling'er. Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"It's all my fault that I found out too late. I'm really ashamed of Ling'er's love for me, and I've let down the trust you placed in me when you entrusted Ling'er to me! I didn't even know that she was sick..." At this point, Ouyang couldn't help but feel full of guilt, and his voice was slightly choked.

Hearing this, Zhou's mother looked at Ouyang with gratitude and said with emotion: "Thank you, thank you very much, Ouyang. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our hearts as parents would be broken into pieces."

However, Ouyang felt that he could not bear such words of thanks, after all, he knew that he owed Ling'er too much. So, he gently shook his head, expressing his unworthiness.

At this time, Ouyang slowly reached out and grasped the door handle of the ward, and was about to push the door open.

But at this moment, Zhou's father quickly reached out to stop him and persuaded him, "Ouyang, don't rush in, wait a moment. It will probably take about half an hour for Ling'er's pain to gradually subside."

"Because you are coming, she specifically asked her mother to prepare a wig and makeup for her, saying that she hopes to appear in front of you beautifully."

"Let's wait until her pain is completely gone and she's put on her makeup before going in to visit her, okay?" After saying this, Zhou's father looked at Ouyang with an almost pleading look, waiting for his response.

Deep down in his heart, Ouyang longed to rush forward, because in his eyes, Ling'er would always be the unique and irreplaceable one.

However, he was afraid that his rash behavior would displease Ling'er or even make her angry. After struggling for a while, he finally chose to let go, but his burning gaze remained fixed on Ling'er, never moving away for a moment.

At this time, Zhou's mother looked at Ouyang with a choked voice and slowly said, "Ouyang, you must thank your sister, Xia Ruo'an, on our behalf. If it weren't for her, Ling'er probably wouldn't have given you the opportunity to come and meet her this time."

Ouyang nodded heavily, indicating that he already knew, and promised to express his gratitude in person when he saw Xia Ruoan.

After all, he knew very well in his heart that if he relied on his own strength alone, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Ling'er.

Then, Ouyang took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask Zhou's mother about Ling'er's condition over the years and the details of her illness.

He asked firmly, "Auntie, please tell me in detail about Ling'er's life over the years and her condition. Is it really impossible to be cured?"

Although this fact was like a bolt from the blue to him, he still wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Hearing this, Zhou's mother's eyes became moist again. She shook her head sadly and said softly, "At present, there is indeed no hope of recovery."

When Ouyang heard her say this, he really believed Ling'er's situation and regretted it even more. If he had known earlier, they wouldn't have missed seven years, and he wouldn't have been by her side when she needed him the most. "

"Don't blame yourself. It was Ling'er's own request to leave you. She even asked us not to tell you. She said that she wanted to leave you when you were at your most beautiful, so that you would remember her longer."

"She has missed you terribly in the past seven years. And I'm sorry, I didn't ask anyone to take a picture of you. We had no ill intentions. We just wanted Ling'er to see your life and give her a thought to live and persevere." Zhou's mother looked at him apologetically and said.

"Uncle and aunt, I want to get a marriage certificate with Ling'er." Ouyang said seriously.
