Tang Xiaoxiao floated in mid-air watching this scene, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Her eyes felt hot, but no tears came out.
The next second, everything spun around her, and when she came to her senses, her surroundings had changed.
This was a hospital room. Guo Mingli lay on the bed, looking utterly haggard. She had been slightly plump, but now she was so thin that Tang Xiaoxiao hardly recognized her. She struggled to grasp Han Yunqi's hand beside the bed, saying haltingly, "Mom is going down to the underworld... to find your dad. Your dad must miss me so much, wanting me to be with him soon... that's why I got this illness... Mom... Mom doesn't want to die. Mom is worried... worried about you..."
The last few words were barely audible, and Guo Mingli's hand fell limply to her sides; she had completely stopped breathing.
Tang Xiaoxiao saw the patient information posted on the hospital bed: "Guo Mingli, female, 59 years old, late stage of stomach cancer".
Thinking back to the scene she had witnessed, Guo Mingli said that she had been in a coma for five years. The year she was reborn, Guo Mingli was 53 years old, and five years later she would be 58. So, not long after the previous scene, she was diagnosed with stomach cancer?
Seeing all this, she didn't know how to feel.
It would be a lie to say that Tang Xiaoxiao didn't hate her mother-in-law. Although all of the woman's selfishness and scheming were for her son's sake, the harm she caused to Tang Xiaoxiao was real. Whether it was her constant veiled insults and accusations that she had caused Han's father's death, none of these things deserved forgiveness.
But now that he's dead, everything has vanished. Looking at Han Yunqi, who was crying his heart out by her bedside, all the resentment in her heart dissipated, leaving only heartache for this man.
It's another scene change.
This time it was the outskirts of the city, in the same environment that Tang Xiaoxiao had seen before.
Songshan Cemetery.
Han's father died in a car accident and was buried here.
Tang Xiaoxiao used to accompany Han Yunqi to sweep the tomb every year.
Now, the tombstone that originally only had Han Shiping's name on it also has Guo Mingli's name on it.
She saw Han Yunqi kneeling in front of the tombstone, whispering something, but she couldn't hear what he was saying.
There was a wheelchair next to her, and the person in the wheelchair was her with her eyes closed.
She was still half-dead, seemingly even weaker than when she first saw herself lying on her bed at home. To keep her from falling, a wide cloth strap was tied around her shoulders to the back of the wheelchair, and she was covered with a thick blanket.
Just as Tang Xiaoxiao was about to float over to Han Yunqi's side, she saw him stand up, pat the dirt off his knees, and walk toward the wheelchair.
Tang Xiaoxiao involuntarily raised her hand to cover her mouth, wanting to cry, but no tears came.
She hadn't looked closely before, but Han Yunqi's hair was already gray and his back was somewhat hunched.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know what year it was, but judging from the condition of his face and neck, he was clearly still in his prime, yet he already looked as weathered as an old man in his twilight years.
Han Yunqi silently pushed the wheelchair forward slowly, with Tang Xiaoxiao floating in the air following closely. The cemetery was built on a mountain, with a huge cliff behind it. Warning signs were erected, saying "Danger ahead, do not enter."
Han Yunqi was walking in the direction of the warning sign.
Tang Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling.
He pushed the wheelchair all the way to the warning sign and stopped about ten meters from the cliff.
Tang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
