Chapter 427: Leaving
Jane Hasis and Bella Hill didn’t come back, and sitting on the couch in the living room of the Hill family was Wang Yuan.
I was surprised to see her here and how did she get in?
Why did she come here?
Many doubts popped up in my head, I opened my mouth and before I could speak, Wang Yuan looked at me and spoke first, “Alva, I came to bring a message to you for the boss.”
“Yao Mu Bai? Where is he?” I thought of seeing him at the entrance of THE HILL FAMILY before, it was just a glance, and the person didn’t know where he went, Yao Mubai didn’t show up after Yao Mureong got punished for such a big happy event, which was very puzzling.
“It’s all over, the boss said he’s going to go globetrotting.” Wang Yuan said, “The Boss has always wanted to go to the North Pole to see the aurora borealis, now that the Yao family’s business is over, he is also unattached and can go do what he wants to do, he is a person who is afraid of separation, so he didn’t come to say goodbye to you.”
“This sentence was really said by Yao Mubai?” I didn’t believe it, how could Yao Mubai just walk away.
“Well, it was the boss himself who said it.” Wang Yuan relayed Yao Mubai’s words, “Boss said that he hopes you’ll be happy.”
“When is he leaving, where is he now?”
“At the airport.” Wang Yuan said, “Don’t go, the plane should have taken off by now.”
Without waiting for Wang Yuan to finish her sentence, I already ran out and went straight to the airport.
I don’t believe Yao Mubai just left, this is completely out of character for him, Yao Murong was arrested, but the Yao family still has a bunch of messes, how can he travel without a care in the world.
Yao Bin is still in a coma, and Cai Caiqin’s whereabouts are unknown, so Yao Mubai can’t possibly go.
I stopped the cab, let the master with the fastest time to the airport, Wang Yuan said he went to Tibet, I look for flights to Tibet, but today the flights to Tibet are gone, the latest also took off half an hour ago.
I look at the airport people come and go, can no longer see the figure of Yao Mubai, I call Yao Mubai once cell phone number, has become empty.
Yao Mu Bai has gone, so even the last side did not see, he just so returned to the sea of people.
I stayed at the airport for half an hour, lost in my thoughts, and received a call from Walker Richter: “Alva, where are you?”
“I’m on my way back, Walker Richter, Yao Mu Bai, he’s gone.”
Such a person who was once in my life with a bang left my life in a silent way.
Since then, I have never seen him again, only every year I would receive a postcard from him from afar.
He sent them from a different place each time, and I had no way to write back to him.
After Yao Murong fell off the grid, he had someone bring me a message asking to see me.
I did not go to see him.
Until the day his life ended, I did not go to see him either.
Yao Murong’s funeral was handled by Walker Richter, who was still a member of the Richter family after all.
I went to Yao Murong’s grave the day he was buried.
He had asked me twice to burn some paper at his grave, and because he had saved Martin Mo’s life, or for some other reason, I bought a bouquet of flowers to pay my respects to him.
From a distance, I saw that Walker Richter was there, and I stood still, hesitant to go over.
Fin Wilson, who had awakened from the hospital, and Charles Richter, Mr. Richter’s mother, were there, and on such an occasion I had better avoid it for the time being.
I waited for a while, and finally they all left before I went over. Looking at the picture of Yao Murong on the tombstone, I suddenly had the realization that all things are empty.
No matter how beautiful they were in life, how rich and powerful they were, how many grudges and feuds they had, the way back is the same.
I squatted down, took out a lighter and lit the paper money.
“Yao Murong, may you have a happy and warm family in your next life.”
This was my wish for him.
The fire was blown around by the wind.
Walker Richter appeared behind me.
“How have you been?”
I hadn’t been to the Richter family since the day of the wedding when I sent sweetheart back to the Richter family, Walker Richter called that day and I didn’t go, I’ve been at home the whole time and haven’t gone anywhere.
Yao Murong had organized the wedding in such a high-profile manner, and when he had an accident, the outside world was buzzing with rumors, and I, as the person who almost became his wife, naturally became a hot topic.
“It’s okay.” I didn’t raise my head and put the paper money into the fire.
He had been standing behind me the whole time, and when I finished burning the paper money in my hand and got up, I suddenly got dizzy, and I immediately held onto the tombstone to stand still.
“Alva, what’s wrong with you?” Walker Richter held me up.
“Nothing, probably squatted too long.”
Almost everyone has anemia, and squatting for too long makes you dizzy, a reason that can be put off.
Walker Richter wasn’t suspicious either, and I stood for a while, feeling better, pulled away from him, and said, “It’s getting late, so I’ll head back.”
“Alva, I’ll walk you.”
“No need.” I was afraid he would catch up with me and quickened my pace.
Lately I’ve been getting sicker and Jane Hasis has asked me to be hospitalized several times, but I haven’t said yes, I don’t want to spend my last days in the hospital.
Walker Richter chased after me a few steps and then didn’t follow.
I stopped the car and returned home, covered in cold sweat, Jane Hasis saw my appearance and was shocked: “Alva, let’s hospitalize, you can’t delay this illness.”
After Yao Murong’s accident, Dr. Huang also confessed to me that I can’t live much longer with my disease, the cancer cells have spread so much that traditional Chinese medicine can’t suppress it.
I shook my head with a bitter smile, “Mom, I don’t want to die in the hospital.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“You child, why are you so stubborn.” Jane Hasis was so angry that she scolded me, “You’re just like your dead father, you don’t listen to advice, and when you’re sure of something, ten oxen can’t pull it back.”
“Mom, I know my own illness, it’s useless.”
I don’t want to waste time on this.
I went back to my room to rest, it’s already the end of the year, the smell of the New Year is getting heavier and heavier, Dr. Huang said that I still have six months to go, I look at my body, I don’t know if I can still drag myself through this Spring Festival.
I spent a few days at home recuperating my body, when suddenly I received a call from Pheobe Wilson, who had come to see me, and I was surprised.
She asked me out to dinner; she was leaving the North Side and going back south again.
“Walker Richter’s still single, aren’t you going to stay and keep trying?”
Last time she could have said she was still going after Walker Richter, but she didn’t realize she was leaving in the blink of an eye.
Pheobe Wilson smiled and said, “I was kidding you last time, I put him down a long time ago, we’re just friends now.”
“When are you leaving?”
“Airfare for next Monday.”
“How’s it going over there?” Looking at Pheobe Wilson’s puzzled expression, I said, “I’d like to visit too, so next Monday, I’ll go south with you.”
This was my impromptu idea, before this, I hadn’t really thought of going with Pheobe Wilson, not to mention her surprise, even I myself was surprised by this decision.
Pheobe Wilson asked in surprise, “You’re going south? But Walker he …”
“I want to spend my last days walking around and seeing.” I said, “For the first time in more than twenty years I want to live for myself.”
Pheobe Wilson wanted to say, “Alva, is it your disease?”
With advanced uterine cancer, I was no longer hopeful.
