Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 529 meant the world



The sky converted from red and blue to purple then into total darkness as Yue Ling laid alone on the hospital bed inside the private ward.

After their heartfelt interaction, Grandfather Ji had left to go home. He needed to change out of his military uniform and told Yue Ling that he will return to stay the night with her, but she told him that she wanted to be alone.

He had been reluctant in this decision because he doesn’t know what she will do. What if she cries to herself? Who will be here to comfort her?

However, knowing that she needed time to herself, he could only agree and leave.

From the moment she was left alone, Yue Ling’s red eyes kept up at the white ceiling like she was staring into another world.

The her at this moment did not look a strong woman, but one of a pale and fragile moment. It was as if she was only holding onto the thin line of hope that still kept her alive.

Her eyes slowly blink, and she reposition herself to lay on her side. Through the window, she stares into the dark abyss of the starry night sky.

She couldn’t help but recall her dream. The dream she had of her child. She could remember every detail so vividly.

Her child’s face looked so happy, yet so sad.

Her child guided her back to life in exchange for his.

To some, it was only a dream but to her, it meant the world.

Gently placing her hands on her stomach, she could feel that what was once a small bump was no longer there. She slowly bend her knees up into a fetus position.

\"My baby... mommy is sorry...\"

She clench tightly onto her shirt that laid over her stomach and her shoulders tremble as she hugs herself like she was hugging her child.

Her eyes slowly closed and like a dried-up lake given water again, a tear slid down from the corner of her eyes.

\"Please forgive mommy... My mommy will always love you no matter where you go...\"

The moment the first tear touched the pillow, another follow then another and another.

All her tears she thought she had shed came flooding in another wave that shook her empty world.

\"I’m so sorry...\"

Yue Ling cried to herself without knowing that four other figures were outside the tightly shut door.

They had been instructed to keep watch over her in case she needed anything.

However, wanting to cheer her up, they decided to stay in the room with her, but when they saw her laying on the bed, none were able to bring themselves to enter.

As they listen to her quiet sobs that pierce into one’s soul, Gui Tian Lan stood closest to the door.

His head hung low as tears slid down his cheeks and onto the floor.

Seated on the chairs to his left were Gui Zhongmin and Tang Zhonghui.

The younger twin leaned his head back against the wall, but despite his eyes starring up at the ceiling, unending tears pour down from the corners of his eyes.

Tang Zhonghui sat with his shoulder slouched and head slightly tilt to the side. He stares blankly at the wall across from him as each of his tears landed on his hands the to the floor.

The last was Ju Suo. The petite woman sat the furthest from the three men. However, she didn’t care and sat on the floor as her head rested on the chair and she quietly sob to herself.

None of them cared whether the nurses or doctors that pass by saw them crying.

For them, Yue Ling’s happiness is their happiness. Her pain is their pain. Whatever grief she is going through, so are they.

Tang Zhonghui stare into the blank space in front of him and he slowly blink his eyes. He stood up from his seat and walks away.

He takes his phone out from his pocket and dials a number.

The moment he brought his phone to his ear, the call connects and before the other person could say a word, he spoke first.

\"Make him suffer...\"

His fingers clench tightly around the phone and he growls like a mad man.

\"Make that fucken bastard experience Hell for what he did!!\"

His shout echoes inside the quiet hospital corridor and he stumbles to lean against the wall. The phone dropped from his hand as he too slumps down to the floor.

He didn’t care anymore and bawl his eyes out like a child.

--------------

Under the starry sky that darkens the night over Imperial, the ocean remained calm as it allows a motorboat to rev across in ease without problem.

The outline of a small private island soon comes into view as Lu Tian helm the boat into the small harbor and parks it.

He cuts the engine off and jumps down onto the dock that is dimly lit up. Following his steps were Liu Shan, Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li.

Each person held an emotionless expression. The aura emitting from them was that of soldiers ready to enter a bloody battlefield.

\"Captain!\"

From the land that joined with the dock, Jiangyu calls out when he saw that his boss and the others have arrived.

He waves to them and strides forward to meet them halfway.

\"Is he here?\"

Lu Tian nod his head in greeting then asks. He doesn’t pause in his steps but continue forward.

Hearing the question, Jiangyu quickly follows in the same pace as he walks shoulder to shoulder with his boss.

\"He arrived 2 hours ago on helicopter.\"

As the boss and subordinate immerse in their own conversation, Liu Shan, Xu Long, Lin Hui and Qi Li quietly follow behind. However, each man couldn’t help but stare at the back of Lu Tian.

After they left the hospital, the man had not spoken a word until now.

They don’t know what happened when he went to give Yue Ling the bag of new clothes, but when he came back, the look on his face was beyond grave.

Thinking this, Liu Shan thought back to the call he received from Tang Zhonghui.

He didn’t ask what made the man to call because he already knew the reason.

Walking further away from the dock and ocean, the men soon climb a set of concrete stairs that trailed up a small hill.

As they reached the top, what greeted them was a large glasshouse the size of a mansion.

Due to the land being a private island, there were no gates to keep strays out as the forest already surrounded it like a barrier.

If it wasn’t for their real purpose in being here, the two assistants and subordinates would have thought this beautiful place was some kind of vacation resort.

\"Let’s go.\"

Lu Tian spoke with a slight pause in his steps when he saw the look on the four men behind.

He doesn’t wait for their response and advance in the direction of the glasshouse.

Once he is done here, he can return to his wife and stay by her side to comfort her. As the thought of her suffering along ached him more than anything.

It didn’t take long before Lu Tian and the others arrive at the door to the house. Jiangyu held the door open as one figure after another entered inside.

\"Bro, took you long enough.\"

A man spoke in a monotonous tone from the spacious living room area.

He was very charming with sharp facial features. He wore a brown trench coat with a white shirt and blue jeans under.

Everything about him was easy going, but he sat lazily on one of the four couches that separated into a square. His foot rested on top of the black coffee table in the middle.

Lu Tian glance at the man with no change in his expression. He walks over to one of the three empty couches and sat down.

\"Zhongwei.\"

Watching the aloof man sit down, Ye Zhongwei smiles and sits up. It was as if the laziness he had seconds ago was never there.

However, his smile quickly fades, and he sighs inside. His expression turned into one of condolence.

\"I heard about what happened. I know words cannot undo what happened to you and your wife, but I am truly sorry for your loss.\"

His words fell and he thought about his encounters with Yue Ling. She was a mother to be and always looked happy, but now...

\"Did you do what I asked?\"

Lu Tian’s voice interrupts Ye Zhongwei’s thoughts and he nods his head.

\"I did it the second I got here. He should be waking up soon.\"

He was currently with a patient when he suddenly received Lu Tian’s message. When he saw the context of the message, he knew something serious had happened.

That was why he called Lu Tian to confirm if things were really going down.

After he got the answer, he told his cousin to keep watch on his patients and quickly got on his private helicopter to come here.

When he met Jiangyu who was already on the island and was waiting for him, that was when he learned about the tragic news.

Closing his eyes, he takes a deep breath and looks back at Lu Tian.

\"What do you have planned?\"
