Chapter 399: Unable to Love, Hate to Leave (VIII)
It was the coldest time of the year, there was not a piece of coal in the house, not a bit of food in the jar, and in order to save a potato for her daughter, she could survive on just water for three days.
Because of an old bedding, she had to endure the ridicule of people in the yard, who scolded her for getting it by pleasing men.
Fifteen years, more than five thousand days and nights, she has endured much more than just this.
Ye Dong clenched his fists, resisting the urge to go in and confess to them...
"Mr. Ye?"
Suddenly, a low voice interrupted his thoughts.
There was a flash of panic in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and he regained his composure as quickly as possible.
Li Cheng, who had just come back from fetching water, was a little surprised to see Ye Dong outside the ward door.
Because it was already very late, he was worried about waking up Ye Yao and the others, so he deliberately lowered his voice.
"Li Cheng, you are here too."
When Ye Dong saw that it was him, his eyes flickered.
Li Cheng nodded and put the kettle beside the ward door.
"Are you here to look for Ye Yao? She's inside."
Ye Dong shook his head, "Come out for a walk with me."
After saying that, he turned and left. Li Cheng did not hesitate and followed him.
Two people stood on the rooftop of the hospital. Although it was early spring, it was still a bit chilly at night.
Ye Dong stood in front of the guardrail and looked into the distance.
"You know everything that happened today, right?"
Although it is a question, it can certainly be confirmed.
"Well, Ye Yao hurt your wife. Mr. Ye, she didn't mean it, she just..."
"You don't have to explain to me, I know everything, and I don't blame her."
Ye Dong interrupted Li Cheng. He was in a very confused mood at the moment, with all kinds of thoughts making him have no idea what decision to make.
He was afraid that his impulsiveness would cause harm to the mother and daughter a second time.
Li Cheng looked at him. His current state was very different from usual.
If he is usually a successful entrepreneur with high spirits and elegant demeanor, then now he is more like an elder who is lonely, desolate, and even needs company.
"Mr. Ye, you are very tired."
This kind of tiredness seems to come from the bones, and it makes me exhausted both physically and mentally.
"How can life not be tiring? Unable to love, hate separation, birth, aging, sickness and death, none of these can be changed by human power."
Ye Dong's voice was full of powerlessness.
Li Cheng's heart trembled, and he was unable to refute.
Only a person who has experienced a lot of vicissitudes can have such a profound understanding.
“Boss Ye, if you feel tired, just give yourself a rest, no matter what it is.”
The only thing he could do was to comfort her with words.
Ye Dong gave a bitter smile, turned his head to look at him, and patted his shoulder hard.
"Li Cheng, you are a good kid. Uncle Ye believes that you have the ability to protect your family and loved ones. Unlike me, this is useless."
When Li Cheng heard the word "useless" coming out of his mouth, he absolutely could not agree.
"Boss Ye, you are an elder that we respect and like. No matter what others do, it will not affect your position in our hearts."
Ye Dong was relieved and fortunate.
I am glad that I finally made the right choice for my daughter.
"From now on, Ye Yao and the others will be in your care. Promise uncle that you will take good care of them."
What he can't do can only be entrusted to him.
Li Cheng looked at him with inquiring eyes, and his emotions were shaken after a moment.
A thought almost came to mind...
