Chapter 145 The Child Was Stolen
Li Ying took the small package, showing no sadness or joy, and just said thank you softly.
Seeing Li Ying like this, Lu Qingzhu became worried instead.
"Little Junior Sister, don't be sad. You still have your parents, brother, and us senior brothers. We won't let you and your child suffer any injustice."
Li Ying shook her head gently: "Junior Brother, I'm fine, let me be alone for a while."
Lu Qingzhu pulled Lu Qingwan out of the ward.
"Brother, Sister Yingying doesn't look sad, does she?"
"The more heartbroken a person is, the more indifferent they become." Lu Qingzhu patted his sister's shoulder and said, "You stay here with her."
Lu Qingwan nodded heavily: "I promise to complete the task!"
In the ward, Li Ying opened the package, which contained some letters and some of Ye Jingchi's personal belongings, including a lighter, cigarettes, a jade pendant, and a rusty bullet.
All the letters were written to Li Ying when he was on the front line.
Open the first letter.
I had just arrived at the front lines and hadn't adjusted yet, but I had regained my memory and remembered everything from before. The war continued, and the poison in my body was like countless ants gnawing at my flesh, and the pain in my heart was even greater. I could only hide and endure it alone. I had to endure it and hold on strong. I knew I had my wife waiting for me at home.
The poison was even worse today. Fortunately, Sang Zhi got some antidotes from somewhere, and after the injections, I felt much better. However, she wanted me to help save Li Ting, and I hesitated. But in the end, I agreed because I knew that if I saved Li Ting, my wife would be very happy and would definitely look at me with new eyes.
The war was over, but I didn't dare go back. Sang Zhi had told me that once these potions ran out, my poison would be incurable. I wanted to go back to see my wife, but I didn't dare. I was afraid I'd scare her, or even more afraid I'd hurt her. I suddenly lost the courage to go back! But I had to go back.
(I met my wife, but I pretended to have lost my memory because I was afraid that once I got close to that warmth, I would never want to be apart from her. So I asked Sang Zhi to pretend to be my girlfriend. Fortunately, my wife was not sad.)
(What should I do? I can’t pretend anymore. I really can’t help wanting to get closer. Even if there’s only one minute or one second left, I want to be with my wife. Looking at her indifferent eyes and her appearance, I will be satisfied. So, my wife, don’t blame me for being selfish. I really want to be close to you.)
Li Ying put down the letter tremblingly, tears already streaming down her face.
She has been trying hard to make herself covered with thorns like a hedgehog, looking indifferent, and not wanting to be hurt a second time. However, she didn't know that her indifference protected herself but also blocked the kindness and love of others.
Ye Jingchi may not be the best, but his love for himself is real.
Li Ying found it ridiculous. She could clearly feel the heart-wrenching pain when Ye Jingchi left for the first time, but when Ye Jingchi appeared again, she still pushed him away, pushing him farther and farther away, while he tried to get closer step by step.
"Sister Yingying, are you okay?" Lu Qingwan pushed open the door and walked into the ward, hurriedly putting away the letters.
"No, let's not watch it anymore."
Li Ying wiped away her tears and said to Lu Qingwan, "Qingwan, I seem to have failed a deep love. Now I know, but there is no way to make it perfect."
People always learn to cherish things only after they lose them.
"Sister Yingying, don't be sad. Anything you miss is not your true love. That's what my mother said." Lu Qingwan comforted.
Li Ying smiled. Perhaps, from the first time they met, she and Ye Jingchi were destined to have no good outcome.
"Qingwan, please help me find out. If Ye Jingchi's body is salvaged, I want to go see him."
Lu Qingwan hesitated for a long time before nodding.
"good."
That night, Li Ying couldn't sleep. Her mind was full of the contents of Ye Jingchi's letters. She felt like something very important was missing from her heart.
In the second half of the night, when Li Ying was drowsy and asleep, she felt a figure slowly approaching.
"who?"
Li Ying suddenly woke up and saw a thin figure picking up Ye Chen from the crib and rushing out.
"Someone come! Someone is stealing the child!"
Li Ying shouted as she sat up and got out of bed, not caring about the torn wound and chasing after him without even putting on her shoes.
The man ran quickly upstairs, and Li Ying followed closely. His shouting alarmed the nurses and doctors on duty, and they all followed him to the roof.
On the rooftop, Rong Ning held the child tightly, standing by the guardrail, looking at Li Ying who was catching up with her, and smiled sinisterly.
"Rong Ning, is that you?"
"It's me. You didn't expect that, did you?" Rong Ning glared at Li Ying fiercely. "You could have saved my son, but you didn't want to, causing him to die at such a young age. Li Ying, I hate you! You're the person I hate most in my life! Lu Xingzhou and I were childhood sweethearts, but you came between us and got in the way!"
"Rong Ning, calm down!" Li Ying didn't dare to rush over. She was afraid that Rong Ning would really jump down after losing her mind.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? Li Ying, I thought you were the winner, but I heard that Ye Jingchi died and you have no man left. But you still have a son, you are still better than me!" Rong Ning said almost crazily, pinching the child in her arms with her fingers, and Ye Chen cried loudly.
Li Ying was a little panicked, but told herself to stay calm, she must stay calm.
"Rong Ning, the person you hate is me. Give me the child. Come at me. You can do whatever you want, but don't hurt the child!"
Rong Ning laughed wildly, "Li Ying, I have nothing left. How can I let you have a son by my side? I want your son to come with me, to accompany my son. When we get there, he'll be my son's little henchman, and I'll make him live like a slave in hell!"
The doctors and nurses all stood there, no one dared to move, for fear that they would anger this crazy woman and she would really jump down with the child in her arms.
There was a smart little nurse who turned around and ran downstairs to call for help.
Rong Ning was still roaring madly: "Li Ying, kneel down! Kneel down!"
Li Ying couldn't provoke Rong Ning, so she knelt on the ground in a hurry.
"Rong Ning, look at the child and see if he looks like your Jia Jia. If you like this child, I will give him to you as your Jia Jia, okay?" Li Ying tried to make Rong Ning relax her guard.
"Li Ying, don't fool me! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to save him, right? I won't let you do that! Anyway, I have nothing left. Lu Xingzhou is gone, my Jia Jia is gone, and I'm the only one left! I tell myself every day that all this is caused by you, Li Ying. I must kill your child! I want you to be like me, with nothing! Nothing! Don't come over here, or I'll jump!"
