Chapter 476: Farewell
On the other side, Xiao Yuehan had already returned to China. He turned around and told Nangong Yu about the matter.
Nangong Yu: "I knew my father wouldn't give in so easily. Now he's making trouble again."
Xiao Yuehan: "No, he seems to have calmed down a bit since he became Gu Huaqiang. Now we are the ones making trouble."
Nangong Yu: "Who cares! Just don't mess with us. I've been worrying about my son's study abroad lately, so I don't have time to deal with him."
Xiao Yuehan: "No way? How old is your son? He's already married with kids, why is he still studying? His wife is still sick, how can he just leave like that?"
Nangong Yu: "The son I'm talking about is Mingli."
Xiao Yuehan: "You, an old father, really care too much. That child is very smart! Do you really need to worry about him?"
"A-choo..." Mingli, who was far away in the hospital, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Who is scolding me?" he said angrily, then picked up a tissue to wipe his nose.
The patient in the other bed smiled and said, "You get scolded, you think about me, and then you catch a cold. This means someone is thinking about you!"
Mingli smiled and said, "That must be my dad. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Zheng."
"No way! In fact, I envy you for having someone who cares about you! Unlike me..." After saying that, Zheng Ge hit his thigh hard.
Mingli felt that she had brought up other people's sad memories, and could only say apologetically: "Brother Zheng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Zheng Ge said with a smile, "One must have hope and be optimistic. Isn't that what you taught me?"
Mingli smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, that's true..."
"I heard that you will be discharged from the hospital soon and go abroad to study, right?"
"Yes, my father will come to pick me up from the hospital soon." Mingli said excitedly, unable to hide his joy.
"I'm so envious! I finally got to know a friend like you who I can talk to. I didn't expect you to be discharged so early. Although I'm a little reluctant, I'm still very happy for you. I just don't know when it will be our turn to go home!"
The "we" that Zheng Ge refers to is him and his wife. He and his wife had a serious car accident on their honeymoon. Although they were saved, it was more than a month later when Zheng Ge woke up. His wife was even worse off and has not woken up yet.
Before he met them, Mingli thought he was miserable enough, but when he saw Zhengge's expression when he went to the intensive care unit to see his wife, he realized that sometimes fate would play tricks on a person without any reason or bottom line. The hospital is the best place to see through all kinds of life, because there is no worst there, only worse. And it is when your life is most fragile and helpless that you can often see who your closest people are.
Mingli has seen a big boss wearing mink fur and a gold chain sign a document to give up treatment for his own father in exchange for a few thousand dollars in hospital fees. The reason he gave was that people will die anyway when they get old, so why waste that money?
He has also seen someone who, in order to help his beloved wake up as soon as possible, insisted on going to her bedside every day to tell her stories and make her laugh despite his own physical illness. Even though the person on the bed still had no response, he still did not give up day after day. This person was Zheng Ge.
Mingli once asked him, "How long can you hold on?"
Zheng Ge said with a determined look: "As long as I am alive, I will never give up."
However, even though he was determined to protect his beloved wife and his experience was already tragic enough, fate and the people around him seemed to have no intention of letting him go.
First, his parents pleaded with him to let go. The reason was simple: he was the only child in the family, and they would have no one else to rely on. But now he had to resolutely protect his wife until she woke up. What if his daughter-in-law, who had been lying in bed for months, couldn't wake up? Even if she did, by some miracle, wake up in her teens or twenties, could she still have children? If not, wouldn't their family be cut off?
Zheng Ge also understood his parents' worries, but he really couldn't give up his love for his wife, so he could only put it off for as long as possible, but one can imagine his inner anxiety.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law were not easy to deal with either. When they learned that their daughter had a large insurance compensation amount but could only be withdrawn when she died, they would "comfort" their son-in-law from time to time, hoping that he would accept the reality as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice to give up his wife's treatment, because they wanted to get the money to buy another house for their son. But after he flatly refused, the family never visited his wife again. Zheng Ge was really heartbroken by the behavior of his father-in-law and his family.
Mingli knew Zheng Ge's difficulties, but there was really no way to comfort him. His family was considered wealthy in City Z and could not afford the money for treatment, so Mingli could only tell him about her past when she had time to comfort him.
"Mr. Zheng, there seems to be some movement from your wife's side. You should go and check it out!" The nurse ran over and said this, then ran back.
When Zheng Zheng heard this, he hurried out with his crutches.
Mingli: "Let me help you get over there!"
Soon, the two rushed to the intensive care unit
Mingli knew that Zheng Zheng must have a lot to say to his wife alone, so he didn't stay long and returned to his ward.
Just then, Nangong Yu came to pick Mingli up from the hospital.
"Where did you go just now?"
"I took my patient to see his wife. It seems his wife is finally waking up."
"Finally, the clouds have parted and the moon has appeared. Just like you, after all the hardship, sweetness has finally come."
"That's all because I met a noble person like you, Dad."
"Come on, let's go home! The doctor said you can be discharged. Beds are tight, so don't take up space. After all, nothing here can compare to home."
"That's great, but I didn't have time to say goodbye to Brother Zheng."
"It's okay. Come back and see him when you're free! I guess his wife just woke up and he'll be very busy. I guess he won't be able to leave the hospital for a while."
"That's right, I'll go first!"
Mingli packed up her things, took a last affectionate look at the ward where she had stayed for several months, and then followed Nangong Yu out of the hospital.
Along the way, Mingli seemed very excited.
He asked: "How is Auntie doing recently?"
Nangong Yu: "Not bad, but she is very resistant to going to places like hospitals, so I have never dared to take her to see you."
"It's okay, as long as she comes back safely, I'm very happy when I think about seeing her again soon."
Nangong Yu couldn't help but feel happy for him when he saw how excited and happy he was.
After returning to the villa, Mingli has been busy preparing for studying abroad. The day before boarding the plane, he finally remembered Zheng Zheng.
"I don't know how he and his wife are doing now." He looked at his watch and made up his mind to go to the hospital to see them again.
Mingli was stunned when he returned to the ward where he and Zheng Zheng met.
Zheng Zheng was no longer in the original ward, and two completely unfamiliar new patients were living there.
