Chapter 472: Chapter 473: Sometimes numb, sometimes a heart-wrenching pain
Xia Yangyang nodded fiercely: “Dad, I will be happy, I will definitely be happy. Right now, I’m very happy with Ah Chen. He’s the best person in the world. He treats me exceptionally well. We’ll definitely be able to grow old together…”
A hint of a smile appeared on Xia Liangdong’s lips: “That’s good…”
Xia Liangdong’s voice gradually weakened, slowly, he closed his eyes.
Xia Yangyang grew anxious: “Dad, talk to me, Dad, I have news for you, you’re going to be a grandfather. Don’t sleep, chat with me, okay?”
As Xia Yangyang said these words, Xia Liangdong’s eyes opened noticeably for a moment.
Then he slowly uttered these words: “Yangyang, I’m really happy, but I need to go find your mother, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up to her soon…”
Xia Liangdong’s voice gradually faded away.
The hand gripping Xia Yangyang’s also slowly loosened.
The EKG slowly turned into a flatline.
Xia Yangyang held Xia Liangdong’s hand, feeling like her tears weren’t enough.
He had just woken up.
Actually, from the beginning, when she saw Xia Liangdong, Xia Yangyang had a bad premonition.
It felt like a dying flash of light.
But if this was the ending, Xia Yangyang would rather her dad never wake up, even if he had to lay in bed for the rest of his life.
Xia Yangyang held Xia Liangdong’s hand for a very long time.
Until the warm temperature turned cold.
The doctor also arrived.
After examining him, he shook his head with regret, then patted Xia Yangyang on the shoulder, encouraging her to mourn.
No, she didn’t want to.
Xia Yangyang sat numbly at the side of the bed.
The doctors and nurses were helpless.
Until finally Gu Qichen came.
He forcefully pulled Xia Yangyang away.
Only then did Xia Yangyang react.
She started wailing, screaming, shouting.
Watching as they took her father’s body away, she frantically chased after it.
But she was tightly held in Gu Qichen’s arms.
She sobbed until she was nearly unconscious.
Why did it have to be ? Why did everyone have to leave her?
In this world, why was she the only one left?
Xia Yangyang struggled violently.
Her nails scraped across Gu Qichen’s neck, leaving a bloody mark.
But Gu Qichen didn’t say a word, he just held her body tight.
He watched with his eyes wide open as she screamed and fell apart.
For the following three days, Xia Yangyang didn’t know how she got through them.
On the day of Xia Liangdong’s funeral, there was a light rain.
Everything was arranged by Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang watched numbly as a living person turned into a small urn of ashes, and then buried underground.
Xia Yangyang stood in front of the grave, watching her father’s friends lay flowers and mourn in silence.
Liu Ruyan cried until she was unrecognizable.
Seeing her, Xia Yangyang felt indifferent.
Liu Ruyan and Xia Liangdong’s divorce papers had not been made public.
For the outside world, she was still Madame Xia.
However, because of the existence of that agreement, she couldn’t get a cent from the Xia Family’s property.
Who knew if it was her conscience that was making her cry for the sake of their past relationship, or if it was just resentment.
From beginning to end, Gu Qichen stood behind Xia Yangyang, arranging everything.
The old master also came.
After paying his respects, he just stared at Xia Yangyang.
Finally, the matter settled.
Gu Qichen took Xia Yangyang back to the Xia Family villa.
These days, Xia Yangyang’s heartache made her numb.
Sometimes she felt numb and dazed.
But when she suddenly came to her senses, the pain was heart-wrenching.
