Chapter 352 Final Farewell
Nangong Yu: "Your question is too naive, isn't it? Isn't it better to be prudent and protect yourself? Why do you have to imitate others and choose a stance?"
High Priest: "A tree wishes to be still, but the wind does not stop; a son wishes to be filial, but his parents are not around. You should soon understand the meaning of this sentence."
Nangong Yu ignored him and just leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, the doctor finally walked out of the operating room.
"The operation was successful, but I don't know when the patient will wake up," he said tiredly.
Nangong Yu: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
Doctor: "The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. Please go see her again tomorrow!"
High Priest: "We understand."
After the doctor finished explaining the precautions, he went back to his office to rest.
Nangong Yu walked towards the ICU ward, and the high priest grabbed him.
"Where are you going? Didn't the doctor say you'd see her tomorrow?"
"Mother and child are connected by heart. It's useless to tell you this; you won't understand. If you still want to see her one last time, come in with me!"
The two walked into the ICU ward. The smell of disinfectant inside was too pungent. Sakura was lying weakly on the bed with a tube in her throat.
The room was so quiet that the only sounds were the ticking of the instruments and Sakurahou's labored breathing.
She seemed to sense someone coming to see her and tried hard to open her eyes.
"You are here..." The voice was extremely vain and hoarse.
The high priest choked up and said, "Yes, the doctor said you are fine. You will recover after a good rest. Then, I will travel around the world with you again and have another child, okay?"
Sakura forced a smile and said, "That sounds great, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day."
The high priest said: "Don't think too much. If the doctor says you are fine, then you will be fine."
Sakura: "I know my own body best."
She glanced at Nangong Yu and said, "I didn't expect you to come see me again."
Nangong Yu: "Don't get me wrong, I just came to see if you're dead. You're of no use now anyway, so why not hand the Junyue Group back to me, your son, so that it doesn't get taken advantage of by outsiders?"
Yinghou coughed and said, "I didn't expect your mouth to still be so foul-mouthed. Seeing that your mother is dying, you won't say a single good word?"
Nangong Yu: "Compliments and words of comfort are for those foolish outsiders. It's better for family members to be pragmatic."
The Queen of Sakura looked at the High Priest affectionately and said reluctantly, "Xin Yu, can you step aside for a moment? I have something to say to Nangong Yu alone."
The high priest nodded and walked out of the ward silently.
Queen Sakura: "Son, don't blame me for being cruel. I was too cruel before. Can you forgive me?"
Nangong Yu: "Seize your last moment and make arrangements for your affairs, otherwise you will regret it. Do you care about my feelings?"
Queen Sakura: "Whether you believe it or not, whether it's you, Lin, or Junlan, I really care about you. There is no mother who doesn't love her own children. A mother will never harm herself until the last moment."
Nangong Yu: "In the end, didn't you abandon us for power? You're talking about a deep mother-son love, but you're being too fake, aren't you?"
Queen Ying: "Please forgive my selfishness. I have already transferred all the shares of Junyue Group to Xin Yu."
Nangong Yu: "Are you senile or have you been blinded by love? You are really enough as a mother to spend everything your son has worked so hard for on his lover."
Sakura: "Please forgive me."
Nangong Yu: "I don't forgive you. What else can I do? You are about to die. What power can I have to save this?"
The Queen of Sakura smiled bitterly and said, "Ever since we were little, I've known that you're different from them. You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but you're the one who values friendship and loyalty the most."
Nangong Yu: "So what? In the end, I'm still a poor bastard with nothing."
Sakura: "But you are also the richest person in the world, because you have many people around you who treat you sincerely."
Nangong Yu sighed, "I'd better call the high priest over. I'm sure you have a lot to say to him."
Sakura: "Wait a moment. Tell me honestly, is my daughter not dead?"
Nangong Yu didn't expect her to ask this, and was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Sakura: "I just want you to promise me that you won't let them get close to her again and let her live a normal life, okay?"
Nangong Yu: "That's why I kept this secret so well hidden, even Situ doesn't know."
Queen Ying: "Go and call Xin Yu in!"
Nangong Yu opened the door and said to the high priest, "Come in, my mother has something to tell you."
The high priest walked in, and he seemed to have slowly accepted the reality.
He took Yinghou's hand and said lovingly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
At this time, the Queen of Sakura was too weak to speak, and the high priest could only put his ear close to hers.
"Tell me slowly, I'm listening!"
"Keep an eye on my son and don't let others bully him."
With the last words before death and the falling of the last tear, everything will become the past. No matter how much wealth and glory you have had in your life and how much reluctance you have to let go, they will all be gone.
The high priest couldn't help sobbing, and Nangong Yu's complex and indescribable mood at this moment was hard to describe, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or relieved.
The doctor, who had not rested for less than an hour, rushed in again and symbolically performed a series of rescue measures.
Finally, the doctor, sweating profusely, still holding the pacemaker in his hands, walked up to Nangong Yu with an apologetic look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, the patient can't be saved due to organ failure. Please accept my condolences!"
Nangong Yu: "We know."
Situ also came over and said, "Why don't you go home and rest first! I will take care of the rest."
The high priest said: "I will stay and help you deal with it. I want to accompany her."
Nangong Yu: "Thank you for your help. I'm going home first. Call me if you have anything else!"
Situ: "Are you really okay?"
Nangong Yu: "What can I do?"
Situ didn't answer him. Nangong Yu looked at Ying on the bed again, then turned and left the ward.
The next morning, Situ asked the chief priest: "Do you think we should call the police?"
The High Priest said, "What's the point of calling the police? Xueying is already dead. Even if we catch the murderer, he'll just be a scapegoat. Now I just want her to live out her life in peace."
Situ: "I respect your decision, but I still need to ask Nangong Yu for his opinion."
But things went against their wishes. The doctors thought this was unusual. Although they didn't want to cause trouble, they still reported the matter and called the police.
Xu Lin and Wu Sangui were both shocked after receiving the alarm.
Xu Lin: "I thought she was the kind of person who could live for a few more episodes in the story just because she had the face of a villain. I didn't expect her to be gone so soon."
Wu Sangui: "The characters in the story don't care what face you have. As long as the screenwriter likes, the protagonist can die at any time. After a while, they can just find an excuse to resurrect the character! From their point of view, existence is justified. They are the best at making up stories."
