Chapter 548: Chapter 548: He Can’t Be Persuaded to Come Back Chapter 548: Chapter 548: He Can’t Be Persuaded to Come Back Zhan Sheng’s voice was hoarse and frail, but every word was filled with determination.
He really wanted to die, not just in a moment of pessimism…
He was terrifyingly calm.
Hua Ling thought that his negativity and pessimism were the worst-case scenario. Yet, he wasn’t negative at all; instead, his calmness and rationality were what truly frightened her.
Because such a resolute him would never change his mind again.
“Zhan Sheng!” Hua Ling couldn’t maintain a relaxed expression any longer, and urgently tried to persuade him, “Isn’t it good to be alive? Even though we can’t move, we can still see the world with our eyes! Have you been to other countries? The world is so vast, and I’ll take you to see it. We can go anywhere, eat anything we want; there’s still so much to enjoy! And you have amnesia, don’t you want to recover your memories, to find back your past, your identity? At the very least, you should know who you are before…”
“It’s not important anymore,” Zhan Sheng interrupted, his eyes weary as he closed them, “You go back. I hope you’ll seriously consider what I’ve said. I hope to have your respect.”
“Hua Ling, I can only ask for your help,” Zhan Sheng said in a low, utterly exhausted voice.
Yet from his tone, she heard his overwhelming despair. And in his most desperate moment, he saw her as his only hope.
But his hope was–to seek death!
Hua Ling walked out of the hospital, feeling even more irritable.
He expected Zhan Sheng to make a scene, to break down in agony, and he had prepared himself to deal with that.
But Zhan Sheng’s current state left Hua Ling even more at a loss.
He knew that Zhan Sheng didn’t seek death out of cowardice; instead, it was to avoid being a burden to anyone, to not live a half-hearted life.
So, this Zhan Sheng would not be persuaded to change.
Hua Ling knew that agreeing with his wishes was the best option…
But he simply couldn’t stand by and watch him seek death.
“Damn it–” Hua Ling reached his car and kicked it hard. Unsatisfied, he kicked it several more times!
And his car alarm went off, a piercing sound that only made him feel more agitated.
Yet Hua Ling still tried everything to persuade Zhan Sheng to have a change of heart.
He visited him several times a day, even consulted with psychologists on how to counsel him, to no avail–Zhan Sheng’s resolve was not only unshaken but had grown firmer!
Why didn’t he want to live? Life is so precious, at least he was still alive!
Hua Ling wanted to scream at him, to curse him awake.
But he held back, bearing the pressure alone. Hua Ling didn’t know who to talk to about these things; he didn’t want to involve Jingjing.
Because of him, Jingjing had become a pitiful girl.
He only wanted to bring joy to Jingjing, not to add to her troubles and stress.
So with no outlet for his frustration, Hua Ling could only turn to drinking alone. But even drinking couldn’t relieve his stress, so he simply called Mo Jun.
During Mo Jun’s research, no one disturbed her. Sun Qiao and the others didn’t know what she was up to but had also refrained from bothering her following instructions.
Only Hua Ling, unaware of the situation, made a call.
Mo Jun was also encountering a bottleneck in her research and was equally irritable.
Surprised to receive a call from Hua Ling, Mo Jun asked, “How much have you had to drink?”
His end reeked of alcohol, and he answered with a foolish chuckle.
