C7 I Can't Make It Through the Night

Shee Yunyi's eyes flickered, but she still calmed down and lowered her head to help treat the wound on his arm.

"She asked us what our relationship was, and I. She told me everything, including the matter of you bringing Chenchen home at the end of the month. "

Lih Haozhe's gaze towards Shee Yunyi was still as cold as ever. "Is there anything else?"

"No …." "Nothing else..." Shee Yunyi didn't dare to look at him directly. "We have always been a family of three. People have always thought of us as husband and wife. Perhaps Soong Lyi mistook us for you taking us back to discuss marriage …"

Lih Haozhe frowned and calmed himself down: "Ask your colleagues in the hospital to introduce a few suitable people everywhere. You still need someone to take care of you, that way others won't keep misunderstanding you."

Shee Yunyi looked at him in surprise. "Beside me... Aren't you looking after me? "

Lih Haozhe looked at her without any emotion. "I took care of Chen because I'm his godfather and you're my best comrade's wife. Letting Chen take over my account is just to let you find a better home, that's all."

Finished with each word, he indifferently glanced at Shee Yunyi, turned around, and left without looking back.

Shee Yunyi's eyes were a bit red, but she still couldn't help but call out to him, "Hao Zhe, heal the wound on your hand first …"

"No need." Lih Haozhe turned around and walked away. His voice came along with the wind.

After changing into casual clothes, Lih Haozhe drove home to rest, but he couldn't help but drive the car to Soong Lyi's house.

He stood downstairs smoking, one by one, until it was dark and the lights in Soong Lyi's room went out. Then he drove away.

… ….

Soong Lyi was curled up on the bed, still in a trance.

After experiencing life and death together with complete and utter loss of love, the only thing left for her in this city was pain.

She thought of her hometown, thought of her parents who had firmly refused to let her stay with Lih Haozhe. She couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial the number that she didn't save but knew it by heart.

When the call connected, Soong Lyi's nose turned sour and she choked with sobs, "Mom …"

A heavy sigh came from the other end of the phone. "Since you took the initiative to call your mom, come back and see your dad one last time …"

Soong Lyixin shuddered. Her phone almost fell to the ground from her panic.

Soong's mother said something after that, but she didn't catch what she said. Her mind went blank.

Soong Lyi gave the unit a leave of absence and spent the night buying tickets to return home.

It was already the second day since he rushed back to Lingcheng.

In the hospital ward, Soong Lyi looked at her gaunt and haggard father on the bed and knelt down with a thump.

"Dad, dad …" She sobbed.

Soong's mother sighed with reddened eyes.

"Your father didn't want you to have a fireman as a boyfriend because he was afraid that if something happened, you would be the only daughter we had. "You, on the other hand, are as stubborn as a cow for a man to follow him and do the fire work …

"Your father had a heart attack and wouldn't let me tell you. He secretly watched the fire prevention news on Yiyang City every day. If something happened on that side yesterday, your father would be done for on the spot. "I can't last through the night."

As Soong's mother spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Soong Lyi held Soong's mother's hand tightly and sobbed, "Mom, I'll resign … "I won't be going anywhere from now on, I'll just stay at home with you guys …"

Soong's father, who was unconscious on the bed, moved his fingers as if he heard Soong Lyi's voice.

She quickly shook Soong's father's hand, while her fingers were shaking.

"Dad, I won't ask for a fireman to be my boyfriend anymore, hurry up and get better …" I was wrong, I shouldn't have disobeyed you, I shouldn't have left home for so long, I shouldn't have caused you all to worry about me everyday … "

Soong Lyi's face was covered in tears, and her every word was filled with guilt and regret.

Soong's father suddenly opened his eyes as he stared at Soong Lyi with a pair of cloudy eyes. His mouth, which was covered by an oxygen mask, gasped heavily as if he was extremely excited.

Soong's mother quickly touched his chest and said loudly beside his ear, "Old Song, your daughter is back. She's fine …"

Soong Lyi wiped away the tears on her face and forced a smile on her face as she looked at her father. "Dad …"

His throat was choked with words, and he was unable to say anything else.

Soong's father held Soong Lyi's hand tighter and closed his eyes after a short breath.

There was a long beep from the bedside equipment, and the electrocardiogram became a straight line.
