My Alleged Husband

Chapter 767: Chapter 737 Xiao Wei Returns to China_1

Xiao Wei didn’t tell Li Jiayuan about Xia Jing because he knew what kind of person his wife was. If his wife found out about this, she would definitely rush back home in a panic.

He loved his wife so much, how could he bear to see her struggling so hard to travel back and forth? His wife had already given so much to their family, always taking care of the household while he was unable to help out at all. Every time he tried to assist her, she insisted that household chores were a woman’s job.

As a man, seeing his wife busily working while he stood by doing nothing, any man who truly loved his wife would feel anguished. The sacrifices his wife had made over the years were apparent to him.

Although they had loved each other deeply for many years and had several children, when it came down to it, their own child still chose to live a solitary life without the desire to marry. This, perhaps deep down, was a source of pain for them. However, they could not force their child. If two people were not truly in love, being together would only result in deep pain and torment for both.

As parents, they were very wise; they didn’t want their child to suffer any harm. They only wanted their child to live happily every day. That was all she desired: for her child to be happy every day. He didn’t want his child to endure so much pain.

When Li Jiayuan learned that Xiao Wei had returned to China, she was a bit stunned deep inside. She couldn’t believe why her husband had suddenly decided to return to China after all these years of good living abroad.

What exactly had happened that made him rush back to China without telling her? As his wife, she felt it wasn’t her place to question him.

When Xiao Wei arrived at the hospital in China, Old Master Zhang had just been wheeled into the rest room. He knew that Old Master Zhang might really have taken a heavy blow this time. His son, who he had not interacted with for many years, had finally come back to him only for such an incident to occur, which was a deadly blow for him as well.

Upon seeing his uncle arrive, Zhang Yichen could scarcely believe it. He hadn’t informed his uncle about his mother falling ill and being hospitalized. What could have happened that his uncle knew about it?

”Yichen, is your mother alright? How could such a thing happen? Are the two of them still okay now? How serious is it?”

Question after question bombarded him, catching Zhang Yichen off guard. He had never expected his uncle to care so much about his mother’s wellbeing. As far as he knew, this was not his real uncle.

It was unexpected that non-siblings could be so close. For them, as long as every person lived happily, that was bliss. Why bother caring so much about anything else?

”Uncle, I’m really sorry about this. I didn’t know how to tell you about the accident, so I didn’t inform you, to avoid making you worry as well. Now, their condition has stabilized somewhat, but they haven’t woken up yet. The doctor said they have passed the optimal window for regaining consciousness, and they might never wake up in their lifetime. But we continue to wait for a miracle. It’s been so many days without any good news that we don’t even know what kind of hope to hold onto anymore!

The doctors have long advised us to prepare for the worst. They may pass anytime and might never wake up. But I just can’t accept that—they are my parents. You know that over the years, even though they weren’t always there for me, deep down I never genuinely hated them.

They are my parents. I don’t have any deep grudge against them, so how could I possibly not wish for them to wake up? I keep praying to heaven, hoping for a chance for them to stay with me and look after me!”

”Didn’t Lei Kai and his two brothers come over? I haven’t seen them in a long time. Ever since my business took the right path, I haven’t seen them. I thought they would come with you this time, but I’m disappointed again!”

Xiao Wei looked at his nephew trying to maintain a brave face, knowing deep down how much pain he was in. Some things simply couldn’t be undone once they happened. He didn’t know how to comfort him; perhaps some things are meant to be endured just like this!

”Don’t be too heartbroken. I believe in your parents. Good people are blessed by heaven and they’ll wake up on their own.

During this time, you should really take good care of yourself, as well as your grandfather. You should know what your father worries about the most, what he feels most guilty about. Deep down, he feels remorse about certain things!”

”Why did such a severe car accident occur to your parents? They have always been inseparable when going out, but how could such an incident happen? Was there something that disturbed their peace of mind?”

Xiao Wei’s question left Zhang Yichen at a loss about how to respond to his uncle. These private family matters shouldn’t be aired, but if he didn’t speak up, his uncle might worry even more. They’re all family, so why talk as if they’re strangers? He decided to tell his uncle the whole story.

”Uncle, actually, this is what happened...

That’s just it, they had decided to travel abroad. When my father took my mother away, they had a severe car accident on the highway, resulting in their current state. It happened two weeks ago, and after being rescued they finally pulled through the life-threatening stage, but they haven’t woken up to this day. I’m really scared they might never wake up, and I’m terrified.

In my company, I call the shots for everything, but I never thought there’d be a day when I would feel this scared. I’m afraid my parents might leave me because of this. For me, it’s a blow that I can’t erase from the depths of my heart...”
