Chapter 207: No Mother to Protect Me
How could they...
die......
Song Lehan had never thought about it.
The word "death" is really far away from her.
When she was very young, Zhang Zhiya took her to attend her grandmother's funeral.
The adults around were crying, and her mother was crying too.
At that time, Song Lehan didn't understand why everyone was crying.
Why do people cry when someone dies?
She didn't understand what "death" meant, but she vaguely understood that she would never see her grandmother again.
But it seems that I don’t see it very often.
Song Lehan didn't feel deeply about her grandmother's passing.
After her grandmother's funeral, Zhang Zhiya did what she had to do as usual, still smiling.
As if nothing had happened.
But one day, when Zhang Zhiya was reading a storybook with Song Lehan in the living room, Song Lehan read a sentence from the book.
"Sakura was able to escape from the Big Bad Wolf because of her mother."
Then, she raised her head ignorantly and said to Zhang Zhiya: "Mom, Xiaoying's mother is so amazing."
"Yes, Sakura has your mother to protect you, and your mother will protect you too."
At this point, Zhang Zhiya suddenly paused, her voice choked with sobs, "But, I don't have my mother to protect me anymore."
When Song Lehan saw her mother crying, she immediately stood up and hugged her, "It's okay, Mom, I'll protect you."
At that time, Song Lehan didn't understand why Zhang Zhiya suddenly started crying. The only thing in his little head besides confusion was to protect his mother.
Now, Song Lehan no longer has her mother to protect her.
Really?
Like a dream, Song Lehan still couldn't believe that her parents left her like this.
Song Lehan looked at Xu Jiangcuo, frowned, shook his head, and asked again and again: "My parents, are they really... dead?"
"Yeah." Xu Jiangcuo hugged Song Lehan's waist tightly, fearing that she would do something crazy again.
"Are they really dead?"
"Um."
"I'll never see them again?"
"Um."
"Are they dead?"
"Um."
No matter how many times Song Lehan asked, Xu Jiangcuo agreed.
Until the end, Song Lehan seemed to suddenly come to his senses and burst into tears.
"Why did they leave me behind?!" Song Lehan clutched Xu Jiangcuo's clothes tightly, crying breathlessly, "I've seen them before. My mother said she would take good care of herself. She clearly promised me..."
If Xu Jiangcuo hadn't been holding him, Song Lehan would have already sat on the ground.
She was now trembling all over, her face flushed from crying so hard. After taking a deep breath, her sobs became intermittent.
"I've already borrowed money from Momo. That's enough to take my parents to live somewhere else."
"My contract with Jiang Yue will soon end, and I'll be free. Good days will come soon."
"Why......"
Song Lehan really couldn't understand and couldn't believe that her parents would die!
Emotions became excited again.
Song Lehan cried and screamed, and finally slapped her chest fiercely. The crying became softer, but her breathing became heavier. She cried again, gasped heavily, and fainted the next second.
Seeing this, Xu Jiangcuo immediately laid Song Lehan flat, pinched her philtrum with one hand, and took out his phone to call a doctor with the other hand.
When he told the doctor about the situation, his voice was shaking.
—
"She was just angry for a moment. After taking the medicine, we must make sure she is calmer. Otherwise, she will most likely be in this situation again. By then, it may not be possible to simply take medicine to cure her like now."
The private doctor gave instructions and Xu Jiangcuo nodded repeatedly.
The doctor packed up the medicine box, gave Xu Jiangcuo a warning look, turned around and left without asking any more questions.
Xu Jiangcuo stayed by Song Lehan's side for a while. Not long after, his assistant called him and said that there was an urgent matter in the company and he needed to deal with it.
Song Lehan had just taken an injection of tranquilizer, so he should be able to sleep peacefully for a while.
Although he thought so, Xu Jiangcuo knew that he couldn't leave Song Lehan alone at this time.
He must accompany her through this matter.
Xu Jiangcuo brought the computer and sat next to Song Lehan. While handling his work, he glanced at the person on the bed from time to time.
Song Lehan had a very long dream.
In her dream, she returned to her childhood.
Zhang Zhiya took her to the park to play. Suddenly, someone bumped into them and without saying a word, hugged Song Lehan and tried to run away.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiya was strong and held Song Lehan tightly. The two of them pulled and tugged, attracting the attention of everyone around. In the end, the man still couldn't grab Zhang Zhiya and quickly slipped away.
Zhang Zhiya hugged Song Lehan and started crying in fear.
"Le Le, don't be afraid, no one will take you away as long as your mother is here."
The scene changed and Song Lehan returned to his home.
She had just finished her high school entrance exam and her father came to pick her up. As soon as she entered the house, she saw a table full of delicious dishes.
"My daughter finished the high school entrance exam today, we have to celebrate!" Song Jianguo made a bold statement.
Song Lehan sat down on the chair unhappily, "I didn't do well on the test, what's there to celebrate!"
"Hey, what's good or bad?" Song Jianguo patted Song Lehan's shoulder. "As long as you pass the exam, it's good in the eyes of mom and dad."
"Yes, as long as our Lele is safe and happy, nothing else matters!" Zhang Zhiya agreed with a smile.
Song Lehan smiled at them happily.
This is really happy.
Song Lehan dreamed of many things again, most of which were the warm and happy times of the family before Song Jianguo fell ill.
Finally, the dream changed again.
Song Lehan returned to his grandmother's funeral.
She still looked like a child, looking around blankly. In the crowd, she saw Zhang Zhiya's figure and wiped her tears silently.
Song Lehan wanted to walk over, she wanted to find her mother.
As she walked, she found that she seemed to have grown up. When she looked up again, Song Lehan could no longer see Zhang Zhiya.
Panic crept into her heart.
Song Lehan looked left and right, and finally turned around and saw a black and white photo of Zhang Zhiya placed in the center of the auditorium.
Tears fell quietly.
People around her came forward, patted her on the shoulders and comforted her: It’s okay, as long as you don’t suffer, you can enjoy it.
Just like how she comforted Zhang Zhiya at her grandmother's funeral, she comforted Song Lehan.
Everything around me is unfamiliar, but the feeling of sadness is real.
Song Lehan was crying and sobbing.
Consciousness gradually returned.
Song Lehan slowly opened her eyes, and everything that appeared in the dream disappeared, but the uncomfortable emotion still lingered in her heart.
This time the dream is not a dream.
It's true.
