My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1038: What Kind of Choice

”Perhaps all of you think that everything that happened before was inevitable for you.

But do you know? When all of this happened around us, I once thought, what should I do? When everything turned into that, I also thought about what choice my inner self should make. During the time you had the accident, I thought of a thousand ways to solve it, but I really didn’t know which one to choose.”

Another week has passed; it’s now the third week since Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing’s car accident. They are all waiting for their family members to wake up, but all they get is disappointment again and again.

Xiao Wei has been waiting here for a whole week, hoping for his sister and brother-in-law to wake up. But why does it seem like fate is playing a joke on them? These family members are anxious and waiting, yet the patients inside show no reaction. Even the medical staff can’t stand it anymore; they can’t believe there are such affectionate families in the world, waiting here for so many days without leaving. But fate has been too unfair to them.

During this period, many are saying that Old Master Zhang is past his prime because his son once again sent him to the hospital. But who knows the real reason isn’t due to his son doing something to anger him, leading to hospitalization; instead, his son’s own accident caused such a big shock that it led him to a coma.

Every day when Old Master Zhang wakes from sleep, he asks his grandson whether his parents have woken up, wanting to know his son and daughter-in-law’s condition. But each time, both his grandson and the medical staff give him negative answers, gradually wearing away his spirit.

Everyone thinks this shouldn’t continue developing like this. They feel that since the patients have passed the critical phase why haven’t they awakened yet? Although all life support machines have been removed, they lie there quietly as if dead, even though all life signs show normalcy, but they have no way of opening their eyes.

Li Jiayuan has waited so long. He’s waited a whole week without his husband returning home, growing increasingly worried and uneasy. He feels this matter is not that simple.

His husband used to never stay away for so long even when on business trips, let alone this time isn’t a business trip but a return to China. Why has there been no news after so many days in China? Although he calls every night, the uneasiness in her heart grows stronger.

She decided to go back to see, to find out what happened that kept her husband from coming home for a week, only able to make one call a day and then hastily hang up. What is so urgent?

At this time, Lei Kai entered, seeing his mom packing all her luggage, ready to leave. He didn’t know where she was going, so he asked hurriedly, ”Mom, where are you going? Why have you packed so much? Are you going on a trip or planning to return to the country?”

Li Jiayuan was a bit puzzled. Why did her son assume she was returning to China without her mentioning going anywhere? Did her son know something?

”Kai, tell mom, do you know what your dad went to China for? Why does everyone know but no one wants to tell me? Honestly, do you know what’s been happening?”

”Mom, don’t you know? Brother Yichen’s parents had a serious car accident a few weeks ago. They were planning to go abroad, but then the major accident happened, leading to their comas. They haven’t woken up yet. Dad went back probably because of this matter, as it’s his sister after all!”

Li Jiayuan, hearing her son’s words, finally understood the reason. No wonder her husband chose to return home; he hadn’t told her about such a big matter, probably to prevent her from worrying.

”Why does everyone know these things, yet no one wants to tell me, keeping me in the dark? For what? You say it’s to keep me from worrying, but at the very least you should have told me. That’s basic respect, don’t you know?

I’m part of this family. I’ve never interfered with any of your decisions, but for such matters, you must tell me. I am good friends with them; I would certainly go to see them. That’s the basic courtesy of being a person!

Why do you and your father hide things from me? Am I such an unreasonable woman in your eyes? I’m your mother and his wife, but have you considered how I’d feel knowing the truth?”

Lei Kai hadn’t expected his mom’s reaction to be so strong this time. He had thought about telling her earlier but didn’t know how to begin.

He couldn’t confirm the details, worried that telling his mom might make her rush back to China to find his father. He somewhat understood the emotional past of the previous generation but didn’t realize things would change so much.

”Mom, we didn’t tell you for your own good. We know you’re not petty, but we really didn’t know how to say some things. I’ve been worried about whether to tell you beforehand, wondering if knowing the truth later would make you feel we kept everything from you, making you upset!

But we decided it was better to keep it from you, to prevent you from worrying and running back and forth. We chose to hide it as long as possible.

But unexpectedly...”

”You didn’t expect me to notice so quickly, and so soon already know the truth, right? When dealing with things, don’t be too headstrong, at least respect my opinion. Even if you don’t want me to go back, communicate with me. I can understand.

But you repeatedly ignore my decisions; do you really see me as family? Don’t you know it makes me awkward? If others find out later, what will they say?”

”When the truth is all revealed before me, who has thought about what choices I made before?”
