A woman with ideals wakes up anew in the year 2000. In her previous life, she was murdered due to a coveted opportunity, leading to her family's ruin. Now reborn, she swiftly deals with her bet...
Chapter 404 Husband, please answer me
Li Qingning was sentenced half a month later - 10 years in prison.
The charge is attempted murder.
Her youngest son only had Lin Zhenhua to rely on. Lin Zhenhua finally relented for his youngest son and promised him not to divorce Li Qingning for the time being.
After Zhou Ruilian knew about this, she never let him come to the hospital again.
Liang Qiuye had lost his last trump card, and before Liang Xiao could appeal, he died in the hospital.
When he died, his wife was still in the detention center, and Liang Xiao was formally detained. There was not even anyone to handle his funeral.
It was Lin Zhenhua and several of his old friends who were on good terms with him during his lifetime who handled it for him.
Tian Xin stayed in the hospital until these things were over.
She didn't dare leave Lin Zhou even a step away, for fear that if she turned back she would never see him again.
The scars in your heart are the hardest to heal, no matter if it was in your past life or this life.
She died once, Zhang Shuai died once, Lin Zhou, Xiao Xu, and her mother also died once.
These people she loved most had cut a hole in her heart in tragic ways, each one fatal and bloody.
She couldn't bear to lose either of them again.
If she had to, she would rather die.
Xiaowan Village won the first place in the city in the selection of "Municipal Demonstration Village" and received high attention from provincial leaders.
After the selection was completed, Xiaowan Village immediately changed its name.
This village name, which has been used for who knows how many years, was finally given the title of "National Advanced Demonstration Village".
On the day of the award ceremony, Tian Xin talked to Lin Zhou for a long time in front of the hospital bed.
"How come you can write so well?"
She opened a letter written by Lin Zhou to her and read it softly: "Dear Tian Xin, I am very happy to read your letter.
Although I always feel that calling you this is awkward, and if I were to call you this in person, I definitely wouldn’t be able to say it. But, I still want to write it like this…”
He was eloquent and rambling, like writing a diary. During the three months when he was separated from Tian Xin, he wrote one letter every day, and wrote a total of ninety letters to her.
But, none of them were sent out.
"Are you stupid? You wrote a letter but didn't send it to me. How can I know what you wrote?"
His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and every word was written in an extremely childish way, but Tian Xin could still read the extreme longing in the marks that penetrated through the paper.
He said, "I never told you that I'd been practicing that piece for two years, hoping to find an opportunity to play it with you. I never expected it would be in such an occasion. And it was you who took the initiative."
"You always look aloof on the surface, but you're actually very soft-hearted. I confessed my feelings to you so many times, but you refused. But later, when we got together, it was you who suggested it to me."
"I couldn't understand why. Then one day I saw you playing a level-clearing game with that kid from the village. You refused to let go even after losing so many times. I understood. You wanted to take control of the situation. No matter what it was."
"You're right!" Tian Xin's eyes flushed, and she choked up as she said to him, "Look, the same goes for the proposal. When you proposed to me, I just didn't want to agree.
But now, I regret it. If you can wake up and beg me again, I promise not to refuse you.
Can you please wake up? I'm serious this time. I can make an exception and give you the initiative. Can you please wake up? "
Lin Zhou lay there as usual, calm and well-behaved, showing no signs of waking up.
He looks very handsome when he sleeps. Even though he has lost a lot of weight, he is still as sunny and handsome as when Tian Xin first met him.
She couldn't help but stand up and kiss his lips, which were still a little pink, and said with a smile: "Look, even for something like kissing, I have to do it myself. As a grown man, can't you take the initiative?"
The wind blew the white gauze curtains, bringing a slight chill to the ward. The treetops outside the window were swirling in the wind, whistling a horn, one, two, three times.
Tian Xin got up, closed the window, put the letters back into the box, and said goodbye to Lin Zhou.
"Dear...Lin Zhou," she tried to address him in this way, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt awkward, just as he had said in the letter.
"Look," she sat down again and held his hand again, "I'm the same as you, I can't say it. How about... let's discuss it and try a different approach. Anyway, I've already called you husband in front of others, so it's not too much for you to call me wife."
She smiled and kissed his fingers. Then she playfully called out, "Husband—"
The fingers clasped in the palm of my hand seemed to move slightly.
“…”
Tian Xin was startled and called out again to confirm: "Husband——"
She stretched out her voice: "Don't... joke with me!"
This time, the fingers didn't move again.
She felt her breathing quicken and called out again: "Husband——"
No response.
"Hubby—look, I've called you so many times, why don't you give me a response..."
She began to cry: "Why are you so shameless today? Husband - I am... I am yours..."
"Speak up, what am I to you?"
Her cries were the only sounds in the quiet ward, while Lin Zhou in front of her remained calm.
"Honey, I love you. Is that what you want to hear?"
She didn't give up and continued to rub his fingers, hoping that the reaction just now was real.
"Look, I'm so passionate, why don't you just respond? Have you ever loved me? I'm Tian Xin! I'm Tian Xin! I'm your most beloved Tian Xin! You've said it so many times in your letters, why don't you admit it today?"
Once hope is born, it will be like a spark, instantly expanding countless times with the force of a prairie fire. Tian Xin still refused to believe that the man who promised to accompany her for the rest of her life, regardless of whether she was rich or poor, sick or healthy, would never wake up again.
The hope that arose in this brief moment completely aroused all the resentment in her heart.
"Lin Zhou—husband—did you hear that?"
"I'm calling you husband, I've called you so many times, why don't you even give me a single response? Why are you so cruel? Answer me—"
"You know, I have my limits. We haven't even gotten married yet! If you ask me to shamelessly call you husband in front of others, I can't do it."
"I'll call you once more at most. If you don't respond this time, I won't call you again."
"Yes, I am threatening you. Listen, I called...husband..."
"I really called out, why didn't you respond... Why don't you respond... Husband——"
This kind of intensive care unit has a special accompanying doctor, and her hysterical cries attracted a group of doctors and nurses.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ruilian, who had been out for a short time, also came back.
When they saw her like this, everyone was scared and thought something had happened.
Lin Zhenhua rushed over shortly after Zhou Ruilian came in. The doctors were busy doing various tests on Lin Zhou to determine whether he had any chance of waking up.
However, until Tian Xin left the ward, the finger that had moved only once never moved again.
"Tian...Xin—is that you?"
The scene in front of my eyes flickered, as if I was in a dream - a blurry figure was gradually walking further and further away.
Then, a tear slowly flowed down from the corner of Lin Zhou's eye...
