BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229 - Relief
Chapter 229: Relief
“Quick, get up. I don’t blame you…”
Yue Ji could not help but cough because he was too excited. The three of them were so scared that they immediately approached Yue Ji to ask about his condition.
Jiang Li was about to go get the doctor but was stopped by Kong Xia. She pushed Yue Qing out and asked him to find a doctor.
Yue Qing could only leave unhappily.
There were only three people left in the ward. The three of them had tears in their eyes. They were both excited and happy.
When Yue Qing returned, he stood at the door of the ward and looked at the three people inside through the window of the ward. It was as if the three of them were a family, and he was just an outsider…
Yue Qing kept his hands tightly clenched and then let go. After taking a few deep breaths, he pushed the door open and came in. He let the doctor take a look at Yue Ji’s condition while he stood at the side, not fitting in with the other three people.
The doctor said that Yue Ji was just a little emotional and there was nothing wrong. They could try feeding Yue Ji some liquid food this afternoon.
After the few of them thanked the doctor, Yue Qing said that he would go buy lunch and left the ward alone.
Jiang Li watched Yue Qing leave and could not help but frown. Kong Xia could see Jiang Li’s emotions and said that she wanted Jiang Li to have a good chat with Yue Ji. Kong Xia said that Yue Qing did not know how to buy some of Jiang Li’s favorite dishes, so Kong Xia went over to take a look.
Jiang Li was worried that the Yue Ji couple would think too much. She did not tell them that the car accident was intentional. Instead, she talked to Yue Ji about some other interesting things that had happened recently.
Jiang Li deliberately avoided the Jiang family, while Yue Ji also did not expose her. Anyway, as long as their Ah Li came back, it would be fine. In the past, when she had quarreled with them and cut off relations with them, Yue Ji had treated it as her rebellious period. Seeing that Jiang Li was so sensible at the moment, Yue Ji felt a sense of relief.
When Kong Xia found Yue Qing, she found Yue Qing standing by the window of the hospital in a daze. His back looked very lonely, and her heart ached.
Both of her children were important…
“Ah Qing, what are you doing here alone?”
“Mom?”
Yue Qing was very surprised by Kong Xia’s arrival.
Kong Xia stood beside Yue Qing and looked at the scenery outside the window together. Although she was old, her eyes were still very bright.
“Before I knew it, you have grown so big, much taller than me…”
Yue Qing was silent. He roughly knew what Kong Xia wanted to say to him.
“I know that you’ve always been jealous of us for favoring Ah Li since you were young. This is indeed our fault. Mom is here to apologize to you.”
“Mom…”
“However, Ah Li is a girl. She has had no parents since she was young. You’re a few years older than her. You’re her brother, so you should be responsible. Ah Li was a little mischievous when she was young, but she’s very kind-hearted. I still remember that when you were young, you were bitten by a poisonous snake. Your father wasn’t around, and there was no car at home to buy medicine in town. Ah Li went through the heavy rain and went to the mountains to pick some medicinal herbs for you…”
“That day, the rain was very heavy. After Ah Li picked the medicinal herbs, she was covered in injuries. Later on, Kong Xia found out that Jiang Li had fallen down from the hill. However, Jiang Li did not say anything. She just lit up the lamp and applied the medicine on herself in the middle of the night. At that time, Jiang Li was not even seven years old.”
“Later on, I found out that she had always felt that she was an outsider. She was too embarrassed to trouble us. She did not have any other friends by her side. You were the only child of the same age, so she liked to provoke you and quarrel with you. In fact, in her heart, she liked this brother very much.”
Kong Xia recalled the past, and when she said this, her eyes were filled with both happiness and guilt.
On the other hand, Yue Qing’s emotions were very complicated. His parents did not tell him about this matter.
“If it weren’t for Ah Li being so stubborn at such a young age and not letting us tell you, we wouldn’t have kept it from you. You have to remember that you owe ah Li your life!”
Kong Xia’s last sentence was like a thorn that stabbed deeply into Yue Qing’s heart! He was indeed bitten by a poisonous snake when he was young and almost lost his life, but he thought that it was the medicinal herbs that his father picked… Why would it be that woman, Jiang Li?!
“Alright, there are some things that you have to think through on your own.” Kong Xia patted Yue Qing’s shoulder lightly, letting him digest it by himself.
When Yue Qing returned after buying the food, he saw the three of them chatting and laughing in the ward. The atmosphere was very good, as if they had returned to the days when they were poor but happy.
