The next day, after Xiaobai said a brief goodbye to his two foreign friends, we embarked on our journey back to China.
At the airport, sitting amidst the bustling crowd, I squinted at the blinding sunlight outside, reminiscing about the time I'd spent with Xiaobai these past few days.
For some reason, Xiaobai and Youan's figures overlapped again.
If Youan were still alive, he would be very happy now.
But.
He died in that car accident.
"Sister Wanyin, it's time for us to board the plane."
Xiaobai's gentle voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Okay, coming right away."
Sudden.
I stopped in my tracks.
Just now, when I thought of You'an, Pei Ruxuan's strange smile from that day in the banquet hall suddenly popped into my mind.
Some details that had been forgotten suddenly became magnified.
In that instant, I seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind it.
It turns out that she wasn't without hostility; rather, I simply had no right to affect her mood.
Did she know everything beforehand?
Many minor details kept lingering in my mind.
It looks like the needle mark on Youan's neck.
I had looked up some information before and was very curious about why blood is drawn from that area during a physical examination.
But later, seeing that Youan was alright, he was forgotten about it.
Looking back now, it seems rather strange.
And Aunt Pei, why did she suddenly return to the Pei family?
During this time, I did call Aunt Pei several times, but she always hesitated and didn't tell me the reason.
My mother has been acting strangely lately. Could something have happened at home that I don't know about?
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I boarded the plane.
More than ten hours later, I returned to Pu City.
I grabbed Xiaobai and ran home without thinking.
The moment I stepped into the house, I sensed something was off.
The servants all had long faces, and when they saw me return, they ran over crying.
"Miss, you're finally back! I've been trying to call you, but your phone is always off."
"What's wrong?"
"Madam, Madam... she's in the hospital."
I suddenly felt dizzy, but luckily Xiaobai was watching me closely and helped me up.
He said urgently, "Give me the car keys and send the address to Sister Wanyin's phone."
Without saying a word, she pulled me outside. At that moment, I had lost the ability to think and just let Xiaobai pull me along.
While in the car, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
Xiao Bai didn't say many words of comfort. He had been through the same thing and knew how pale and powerless words were at this time.
After running countless red lights along the way, we finally arrived at the hospital safely.
When I saw my mother in the hospital bed, I was already crying my eyes out.
My mother's face was deathly pale, and she had lost a lot of weight.
I don't know why she changed so much in just a few days.
It felt like it was on its last legs.
After hearing my voice, she forced herself to open her eyes.
I quickly brought my head close to her ear.
"Wanyin, hurry... hurry, leave this city, go..."
After saying that, she fainted.
At Xiaobai's shouts, a large group of doctors and nurses rushed in.
My eyes were fixed on my mother lying on the bed. It was as if the surroundings had been muted; I couldn't hear anything anymore.
In the end, it was Xiaobai who pulled me out of the ward.
A few hours later.
The mother was wheeled out of the ward.
I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. I just stood there, holding my mother's body, completely unable to think.
I can't remember what happened after that; I just remember Xiaobai taking care of everything.
At my mother's funeral, I still couldn't believe the outcome.
Why have all my loved ones left me?
Xiao Bai didn't say anything, just quietly stayed by my side.
During that time, I dismissed all the servants in my house and locked myself in my room, refusing to come out.
If it weren't for Xiaobai, I might have died in that bedroom.
He quietly took care of my daily needs every day.
I refused to eat, so he fed me bite by bite.
I refused to drink water, so he tried all sorts of ways to force water into my mouth.
I don't know how long I lived like this.
That day.
While feeding Xiaobai, she suddenly grabbed my hand.
"Sister Wanyin, you need to wake up."
"I can take care of you like this for the rest of my life, but there are some things you should know."
“I feel that your aunt’s death is not so simple. You should investigate the cause.”
“I asked the attending physician, but he said I had no right to check the patient’s condition and refused to say anything.”
"I'm sure he's hiding something. You should ask him yourself."
"besides......"
Listening to his voice, I gradually regained my ability to think.
I slowly turned to look at him: "Xiaobai, what did you say?"
He patiently repeated what he had just said.
At this moment, I finally pulled myself out of my memories.
yes.
Although my mother's health wasn't very good, she couldn't possibly be that sick.
We had a video call a few days before she passed away, and she was fine at that time.
