CHAPTER 22: The Most Terrifying Person in Nine Heavens in Ninety Thousand Years!
Chu Feiling and his wife had indeed lost their son; however, during the times they were busy or not seeing him, they could at least forget about it for a moment.
In their hearts, there remained hope: as long as he was found, their son would be alright, and they would always have that hope.
In contrast, the third uncle and his wife were constantly by their daughter's side, witnessing her pain, her spasms, and her suffering, yet they felt utterly helpless!
They knew the despair yet had no choice but to endure. It was like a condemned prisoner who knows when they will face execution, hopelessly waiting for that day without any way to escape it.
No, it was worse than that. Because they had to desperately strive, accumulating all their wealth and utilizing every possible channel to delay the inevitable death they knew was unavoidable!
How pitiful is the heart of every parent!
Chu Feihan and Duan Shuyi, the couple, were living examples of this truth: even if it meant their child could live for just one more moment, they were willing to give everything!
Currently, Duan Shuyi was at home, heartbroken as she accompanied her child, while Chu Feihan was still frantically searching in some towering mountains…
Yang Ruolan sighed as she faced Duan Shuyi. Those who are not parents don't know the hardships of raising children; those who are not parents do not understand the kindness of parents.
In this world, how many parents are suffering like this… Heaven knows how many more there are?
…………
Chu Yang led Chu Le'er into the inner room, smiling as he pointed to the bed: "Le'er, be good, lie down. Brother will treat your illness, and you'll be better soon."
Chu Le'er tilted her head to look at him and actually smiled gently: "Big brother, even though I'm small, you shouldn't treat me like a child."
Chu Yang was taken aback: "Uh?"
The proud look in Chu Le'er's eyes revealed a moment of keen clarity. At that moment, her frail body exuded a sharpness, and she said with a faint smile, "Big brother, ever since I felt pain, I've been going back and forth in the eighteen layers of hell every day..."
She raised her brows and smiled, both pitiful and proud: "In this world, there should only be me who has been able to survive like this?!"
Chu Yang gazed deeply at her and said, "That's right, Le'er, if we talk about strength, you are the strongest person I have ever seen in my life!"
He added in his heart: even including my past life, you are truly one of a kind!
Chu Le'er smiled: "Big brother, the reason I can survive is because, first, I cannot be separated from mom and dad. Whenever I think about leaving them forever, I force myself to train, endure pain, and accept the harshest treatments just to… when the pain ends, tell my mother: 'Mom, I don't hurt anymore.' That look of joy on her face."
"Although it's miserable, every time I see that, I feel incredibly happy, and the pain is worth it. Also, when mom holds me, the warmth of her embrace is intoxicating. That’s the second reason. So, even though I know that living one more day just means one more day of torment for my mother, as well as torment for myself, I still can't bear to die. Because I'm afraid..."
"I've heard that world is dark and cold, with no one to accompany me, just drifting alone... So I'm scared, and I don't dare to go... Big brother, do you think I'm selfish?"
Chu Le'er gently sat down in front of Chu Yang, her frail back surprisingly straightened. Her once vacant eyes sparkled with light.
"You're not selfish." Chu Yang swallowed hard, organizing his words in his belly for a long time before slowly saying, "This is not selfish at all… Third uncle and third aunt have given everything for you, just to let you live."
"You are right; living one more day is a torment for them, but as long as you are alive, they find motivation and hope in their efforts for you. If you give up and die, they may no longer bear such torment, but the pain you leave behind will haunt them for a lifetime! Because you were meant to live until thirteen… but now that you won't, they will feel they have let you down. Remember, Le'er, only this kind of inner guilt is the greatest torment in a person's life!"
