My Alleged Husband

Chapter 979: Chapter 872 Awakening

Just when everyone was arguing endlessly over these matters, a call came from the hospital.

”Yichen, you should come to the hospital quickly. Your wife seems to be having some issues again. Her emotions are quite unstable right now. If you don’t want anything unexpected to happen, I suggest you, as family, come quickly. Someone should stay with her at the hospital to watch over her. Her mood swings unpredictably, and it might have something to do with whether you’re present or not. If you really want her to recover soon, as her family, you shouldn’t constantly think about leaving quickly. Spend more time with her, give her a bit more warmth. Don’t let her not even feel the last bit of warmth she has; otherwise, she’ll only feel more depressed living here.”

”During these few hours you were gone, she had a brief moment of clarity. At that moment, I thought she was about to improve, but I didn’t expect her condition to relapse suddenly. I don’t understand what might have caused this outcome for her. It’s possible there’s still no way to stabilize her emotions. If you really want her to live well, really for her sake, I suggest you, as her family, stay with her, give her more of the warmth and comfort that family should provide. Don’t let her be alone dealing with the disease here. It’s quite torturous for a patient because they can’t determine when they might wake up. She has no way of knowing whether everything she’s doing is right or wrong; her brain doesn’t have autonomous awareness.”

”Okay, I understand. I’ll come as soon as possible, you just keep an eye on her for me.

If there’s any issue, call me immediately. I’ll speed up, but in this time while I’m rushing, I hope you can take good care of her for me. It’s my neglect; I haven’t fulfilled my duty as a husband. I shouldn’t have left her there alone and returned myself first. You said my son was supposed to stay with her, but I don’t understand where my son has gone. Why would he leave his mother like that? She’s his biological mother and is gravely ill, and yet he still has the heart to run around.”

”Grandpa called to say my wife’s condition has relapsed a bit. I have to go to the hospital. I hope no one here will continue to argue over this issue today. It’s genuinely embarrassing for any of us to go through this again and again. Why keep prolonging such an embarrassing scene? Can’t we all take a step back? Let’s not let anyone get hurt over these things. Everyone has their matters to attend to, and we see what you all sacrifice, but when you place all this pain on us again and again, haven’t you thought about the pain and torment deep inside us? Is there no way to pretend none of this ever happened?

I really have no intention to argue with you all right now. I just want to quietly handle my wife’s issues and then discuss with you later. If the time I spent here delays my wife’s best treatment, I will feel guilty for a lifetime. I hope when you act, you can also slightly consider my difficulties from my perspective. I have my helplessness, and why have I become like this over and over again; is there really nothing you understand deep down? Why do you place all this pain on me, letting me live with such sadness and pain again and again?

You are my family, and no matter what, I will never abandon you. But please think a little more for my sake from time to time. Even just a little would make me much happier and relaxed. Living like this makes me feel very oppressed. Every moment, I’m worried I might accidentally upset you, leading you to hurt my family, the ones I care about most!

Everyone else is living better than me; only I am living the hardest life. But I’ve never thought about sharing this hardship with anyone. I think of swallowing all the bitterness and fatigue by myself, as long as I can live happily, as long as I can see you smile. Then I feel that everything I’ve done is worthwhile, even if I suffer through hardships, it’s still worth it, and I have no regrets. But with how you are now, do you really think it’s fair to hurt me repeatedly, to make me bear these humiliations again and again?”

Zhang Zhentian knows his son has suffered during this time. He has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and now he’s hurt him once again. Should he choose to leave this family again now? His son has made it so clear, hoping he wouldn’t leave. But if he insistently leaves, what does that make him?

”Son, I know you’ve never blamed us, and we’ve never thought of driving you away. But you know what I want most now is to be happy on my own. I hope to make it through on my own efforts. I want to live comfortably, and I want to bring you happiness and joy, not hurt you over and over again.

Everything I’ve done might seem worthless in your eyes, maybe even harmful in return, do you understand? But as a father, there should be a sense of repentance for the family I once failed.”

”You hurry to the hospital, I believe your wife will be okay. Since she’s shown signs of waking, she will wake up. I believe in you. Every word the doctor said just now, I’ve heard clearly. It’s my problem for calling you back and delaying your wife’s best treatment. If there’s any issue, I’m willing to take all the responsibility, but now you need to quickly go accompany her. Don’t let things get worse, don’t let her condition relapse again!”
