My Alleged Husband-Chapter 766 - 736 Another Person Falls Unconscious_1
During the following period, the Zhang Family waited in the hospital, relying on hope for their loved one’s recovery, but that hope never materialized. Day by day went by, and everyone had become exhausted, none having rested properly. They were afraid that if they fell asleep, some mishap might befall their loved one.
Until they could be certain that their loved one was wholly and thoroughly awake, they could only choose to stay vigilantly by the side in the hospital, no matter how arduous the day, no matter how long they had to wait. They felt that by standing there, they could find peace and perhaps, by their presence, grant their relative the strength to wake up soon and see this perfect world.
Old Master Zhang’s health worsened by the day, and he was unsure if he would live to see the moment his loved one awoke. He really wished to pray to the heavens, begging for some sympathy for this wretched old man. He felt he hadn’t done much good in his life – quite the contrary.
Yet when he reflected on every action he’d taken, which one wasn’t for his family’s sake? Everything he did was to ensure their happiness and safety. He never thought his actions would end up hurting so many people.
Ran Zhihan watched both her husband and grandfather-in-law grow increasingly haggard each day, standing by helplessly, unsure of how to offer comfort. She knew that whatever she said, neither of them would listen, as every member of the Zhang Family was too stubborn, set in their decisions that no one could alter.
In the end, she had no choice but to call Li Jiayuan and Xiao Wei. She told Xiao Wei everything.
Xiao Wei was frantic and rushed back home from abroad. In his eyes, nothing was more important than his own family. He knew that if it hadn’t been for Xiao Jing’s hidden help over the years, if it hadn’t been for Xia Jing’s protection, how could he have possibly survived until today? During his time as a mercenary, he had offended so many people, each of them wanting him dead. If it weren’t for his sister’s repeated help, he would’ve been long gone.
He just never expected that his sister, who seemed invincible in his heart, could one day be involved in such a severe car accident. He hadn’t rested even now, and he really couldn’t understand why such a big matter had only been told to him so late. Why couldn’t they inform him as soon as it happened? Did they really regard him as an outsider?
Before Xiao Wei could reach the hospital, Old Master Zhang, worn out, fainted. When Zhang Ni saw his great-grandfather faint, he was truly anxious, having never seen his grandfather so seriously ill.
The moment Old Master Zhang collapsed, everyone panicked.
No one expected the invincible Old Master Zhang to faint.
The man who once commanded the winds, why did he suddenly collapse today? Perhaps he had indeed become too tired.
Seeing his grandfather collapse right before his eyes, Zhang Yichen thought to himself, ’This is bad. How could this happen when my parents haven’t yet regained consciousness, and now my grandfather faints again? Now three people from our family are hospitalized. What’s happening to us this year? Why does misfortune keep striking one after another, burdening me alone to bear it all?
’Is the heavens testing my ability to cope? Challenging me with such difficult problems time and again, how should I choose? My grandfather could have lived happily, but suddenly because of my parents’ car accident, everything has become like this.’
He didn’t care about anything else; he could temporarily ignore all of his company’s affairs, set aside all his wealth, but he couldn’t allow his parents and relatives to be hurt like this. What he lacked the most right now was the companionship of his family. For so many years, he had led a lonely life without feeling the warmth of kinship. He only knew the feeling of being cherished by his grandfather.
After so many years, his parents had finally chosen to return to his side, only to suffer this tragedy as soon as they came back. Does heaven really not want to see him lead a happy and peaceful life? To be constantly forced into desperate situations until it’s satisfied?
Zhang Yichen thought to himself, ’Heavens, oh heavens, why are you so merciless towards me?
’What did I do wrong for you to treat me this way? I just want to live peacefully, but you give me such an ending. I kept looking forward to seeing how to make my parents happy and safe, but ultimately you dealt me the hardest blow. After so much effort to bring my parents back into my life, you let them now lie motionless in the hospital, possibly never to awake again.’
’My grandfather, who loves me most, fainted again in the hospital due to being too worried about his son’s condition. Once again, I caused my relatives to fall into a coma, into perilous circumstances.’
’Do you really dislike seeing me so much? Is it truly unforgivable for me to live quietly and peacefully in your eyes? I just want to live quietly, but why do you make such decisions that ultimately break my heart?
’If you have any grievances, come at me. Why harm my family? I don’t care about enduring pain or inner suffering, as long as my family isn’t upset. But your actions have caused my family unbearable pain, leaving me to ask what am I to do for the rest of my life?’
After examining Elder Zhang’s condition, the doctor said, "He’s just too tired. If he keeps going like this, all of his previous conditions might relapse. He’s already advanced in age and should really rest and recuperate, but why has he been so worn out recently? I understand that there’s been a great deal happening in your family, but you must take care of the elderly!"
Zhang Yichen felt deeply remorseful in his heart. It was due to his negligence, for indulging his stubbornness, that led to his grandfather’s current state. If only he had listened to his own advice and allowed his grandfather to go home to rest, then maybe the outcome wouldn’t have been like this, and he wouldn’t have fainted here.
