Chapter 224 Dad is dying
Li Ma Zhang Yan cried uncontrollably. When her daughter brought Huang Dehan home, she disliked him at first sight because Huang Dehan's eyes were too lively and unpredictable, and she could tell at a glance that he was not an honest person.
As soon as he entered, his eyes scanned everything in the house. Perhaps seeing that the family was well-off, he was very sweet-talking, calling everyone "uncle" and "aunt" incessantly. Although he had a smile on his lips, his eyes showed no real joy, giving off a very fake feeling.
Upon learning that Huang Dehan's family consisted only of his mother, who was paralyzed and bedridden, Zhang Yan immediately expressed her opposition.
Riemann was pampered by her since childhood, how could she let her daughter suffer like that?
Moreover, Huang Dehan doesn't seem honest and isn't a good match for him.
But Li Man was like she was possessed, determined to marry Huang Dehan. She even secretly took her household registration book to register with him when she wasn't home.
When Zhang Yan found out, she was so angry that she was hospitalized and broke off her relationship with Li Man in a fit of pique.
She thought Riemann would apologize to her after a while, but she didn't expect Riemann to be so stubborn and not call her. She also refused to call Riemann out of spite.
Unexpectedly, this act of defiance lasted for eleven years, until now, when Riemann's father is seriously ill, she has no choice but to make this phone call to Riemann.
She knew that her husband was ill from missing his daughter.
But how could she not miss this daughter? She was her only daughter!
"...Mom...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."
Besides saying sorry, Riemann didn't know what else to say to express her guilt.
"Manman, please come back quickly, your father might not make it..."
"What's wrong with Dad? Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"
Riemann became extremely anxious upon hearing this and repeatedly pressed for answers.
"Your father has stomach cancer, and it's already in its late stages. The doctor says he doesn't have much time left..."
Upon hearing this, Li Man felt as if struck by lightning, and the world seemed to spin around her. She quickly said, "Mom, tell Dad to wait for me. I'll go back right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Riemann hurriedly went back to her room to pack her clothes.
"Riemann, what's wrong? What happened?" Chen Xiaohui asked hurriedly when she saw Riemann like this.
Tears streamed down Li Man's face as she cried, "Xiao Hui, my dad is dying. I have to go back now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohui was startled and quickly said, "Then you should go back right away!"
After saying that, Chen Xiaohui hurriedly returned to her room. When she came out, she stuffed 10,000 yuan into Li Man's hand, saying, "Take this money with you."
Li Man quickly pushed the money back to Chen Xiaohui: "No, I have some here."
"Take it!" Chen Xiaohui stuffed the money into Li Man's bag without saying a word. "Consider it a token of my appreciation to your aunt and uncle. You haven't been back for so many years, so buy them something!"
"Thank you!" Riemann said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Alright, let's go!"
Chen Xiaohui couldn't bear to see Li Man like this, so she quickly urged her to leave.
Riemann took a taxi straight to the airport and bought a ticket for the next available flight on his phone.
When the plane landed, it was already afternoon. After getting off the plane, she took a taxi straight to the hospital.
She saw her mother at the hospital entrance.
Eleven years have passed since I last saw my mother. She has aged considerably. Her once smooth and firm face is now covered with wrinkles, and her temples are full of white hair.
She stood alone at the hospital entrance, her back slightly hunched.
Riemann's tears fell instantly.
Zhang Yan also saw Li Man. She almost didn't recognize her daughter. Her heart ached terribly, and she couldn't stop crying. Just by looking at her, she knew that Li Man was not doing well. She had come back alone, without Huang Dehan accompanying her or bringing the child back with her.
