My Alleged Husband

Chapter 782: Chapter 752 Why Hasn’t He Woken Up?_1

Xia Jing opened her eyes to see her son sitting in front of her, and she was simply too overwhelmed with emotion. She couldn’t help but burst into a coughing fit. How fervently she hoped that what was happening before her eyes was not just a dream. She had dreamed of such a scenario countless times before, yet if what she truly saw was to be different, it would be unbearable.

For her, she could be indifferent to what fate might await her, as long as her family could be happy, safe, and secure; to her, that would be perfection. She had never thought about what consequences her life might hold, for as long as she could be happy, what harm was there?

Time and again she endured torment, all for the sake of being able to peacefully stay at home. Now, all she longed for was to obtain that happiness deep in her heart.

”Yichen, how long have you been watching over me? Have you been here since the very moment I was out? In my dreams, it’s as if I heard someone say that on the eve of the Spring Festival wedding, my son was by my side, keeping watch over me. I never dared to believe it.

But now, as I see this before me, my heart finds it even harder to believe. I never thought you would actually stay by my side for so long. Do you know? The moment I opened my eyes and saw you there, how excited, how thrilled I was? To have my son by my side for once, possibly for the last time, fills my heart with no regrets!”

”It’s good to know you’re awake. You have no idea how worried we all were while you slept. When you do things, you always think only of yourself, forgetting that your family also cries and grieves over these events. Maybe you’re too selfish, but I hope that from today on, you can clearly understand for whom and for what you’ve done all this. Don’t carry on as you did before, heedlessly acting without consideration for the bigger picture, repeatedly hurting those who truly love you—it inflicts a profound pain on the individual.”

Xia Jing knew that it was already an immense effort for her son to be able to sit in front of her and speak. She hadn’t thought about why she had awoken without seeing her husband by her side. She turned her head and saw him lying on the other bed. The sight of Zhang Sheng Tian lying there cut through her heart like a knife.

They thought she held no affection for him anymore, that she could ignore his endeavors, turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to Zhang Zhentian’s kindness toward her, but she had not expected that on this day, when the events unfolded before her, she would realize this man had taken a substantial place in her life, and that without him, true happiness would elude her deepest heart.

”Yichen, has your father not woken up yet? Why hasn’t he woken up? Tell me why. What’s wrong with him?” Xia Jing was very anxious; she feared her husband might just slip away like this. Was it a certain relationship or was it because of her? If she hadn’t made a scene, if she had been a bit more accommodating, perhaps that car accident wouldn’t have happened, and he wouldn’t be lying there. The sight of the person lying next to her deeply pained her, yet she didn’t know how to tell her son the truth. If the truth came out, she might never have another chance to stay by his side. After all, the man lying there was his father—how could he care only for his mother and forget his father?

Zhang Yichen didn’t know how to explain to his mother that their father was lying there, which deeply upset him as well. But there were some decisions he was powerless to make. All he wanted was for his family to be safe, yet every time, the outcomes were so grievous, so hurtful.

”Mom, calm down and listen to me. The doctor said the car accident was too severe, and it’s a miracle that you woke up. If he continues like this without waking, he might become vegetative. I’m also waiting for a miracle to happen, but no matter how much I wait, that miracle isn’t happening for my father. I’m worried too. You must stay strong. Your waking up is already a piece of luck for all of us, but we still have to keep waiting, keep waiting for my father to wake up!”

I don’t understand; why did such a serious car accident happen on the road during your trip? What could have caused such a violent collision, causing you both to be so critically injured?

Zhang Yichen eventually asked the secret he harbored deep in his heart. He couldn’t keep it hidden, had no means and no reason to bury it within. He wanted to know why his family had suffered such an accident and desired a candid explanation. Yet, he feared another possibility: that his mother would once again lie and deceive him.

”Child, this matter is ultimately my fault. If I hadn’t made a scene in the car, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. I’m truly sorry, but what’s done is done, and I don’t know how to explain it to you all. I just hope I can be there to watch over her, to see her wake up. If he can wake up, I will never again think of leaving his side. I’ll peacefully stay with him, live with him, and won’t be willful or reckless anymore. As long as she can be happy, for me, that’s more important than anything. It’s only now that I realize he occupies such a large place in my heart!”

In truth, you know well that some things can’t be explained in just a few words. Everyone faces different adversities, and everyone’s attitude towards them will differ. The life you choose determines the consequences you face, and no one can predict what those might be.”

Zhang Yichen didn’t want to seek blame anymore. He just wanted to know if his father could wake up. He placed all his hope on his mother, for in his father’s mind, only she was his entire spiritual support. If his mother stayed by his side, he was sure that he would quickly awake.
