Chapter 427: Be Good, Don’t Cry

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

After an unknown period of time, she felt as if she’d slept deeply and deeply, as if a century had passed. When she thought she’d finally woken from a dream, she opened her eyes and saw a blue bay window.

She was still in the ward. She was sitting on the bed with her arms around her knees, staring out the window at the banana leaves swaying against the wind. She didn’t know how long she watched in silence until she heard voices behind her

“Yes. She’s a little confused now. She often sits like this all afternoon.

Fortunately, the C-section wound is healing well.”

“How’s she been these past two days?”

…Well, it’s much better than before, but it’s still not too stable. Mr. Li came over yesterday. Now the ward has to be guarded at all times. Some things can’t be mentioned in front of her. If you mention it, her emotions will go out of control.”

“Mr. Li came yesterday?”

“Yes, Mr. Li wants to bring Miss Li home tomorrow. From what Mr. Li says, after Miss Li is discharged, he will send her back to the country.”

“Okay, I got it.”

These conversations came from afar one after another. Li Xiwu could not hear them clearly. However, she knew that the person asking was Madam Di Xin. She sat still until the ward fell silent. After a moment, Madam Di Xin walked over and sat down beside her. “Little You.”

Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Madam Di Xin.

Madam Di Xin met her calm gaze and said gently, “Your father is sending you back to the country.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time.

Madam Di Xin reached over and gently stroked Li Xiwu’s cheek. “You’ve lost a lot of weight in the past month.” Li Xiwu’s nose stung. Madam Di Xin coaxed her. “Be good. Don’t cry.”

Tears welled up in Li Xiwu’s eyes. She wanted to cry, but in the end, she held them back. She heard Madam Di Xin say, “Your father wants to send you back to the country. I guess he asked him to bring you back.”

The “him” Madam Di Xin was referring to was Pei Jingzhou, who had not come to Country T for a long time.

Because Li Xiwu had deliberately hidden it, not only did Pei Jingzhou not know that Li Xiwu had almost lost her mind after giving birth to two children, but he also did not know that MO Zhu had passed away.

Only she and Li Huaisheng knew that Li Xiwu had been in the hospital for the past month.

Li Huaisheng did not visit Li Xiwu much this month. He was keeping a low profile and dealing with MO Zhu’s funeral. In addition, he was not in a good mood. He did not visit Li Xiwu because he was afraid that his emotions would affect her.

However, Li Huaisheng had used the wrong method.

Li Xiwu had a difficult month. She was slightly depressed, occasionally confused, and occasionally in a bad mood, but most of the time, she was alone and quiet. Just like that, she endured for a month.

“I don’t want to go back.” Li Xiwu shook her head.

Madam Di Xin asked, “Why?”

Li Xiwu’s nasal voice was heavy. “I’m afraid to face him.”

How could Madam Di Xin not understand what Li Xiwu was thinking? “Are you afraid, or don’t dare?”

Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. “What’s the difference?

“Of course, there is,” Madam Di Xin said. “You’re afraid because you haven’t overcome this hurdle in your heart. You don’t dare because you can’t let go of this side.”

Li Xiwu said, “Both.”

Madam Di Xin sighed softly. “You have to face it and let it go.”

Li Xiwu shook her head, her nasal voice even heavier than before. “I can’t let go. I can’t let go. I’ve let those two children down. I’ve let him down. I…”

“Silly girl.” Madam Di Xin pulled her over and gently hugged her. At this moment, Madam Di Xin had planned to tell Li Xiwu that the girl in the twins had been out of the incubator for a few days so that Li Xiwu could rest assured. She didn’t tell her some time ago because she wanted to wait for her to calm down a little.

Now was a good opportunity. However, at this moment, the Prime Minister sent a message asking Madam Di Xin to hurry back. It seemed to be an important matter!

As the Prime Minister’s wife, how could Madam Di Xin not know about the recent cabinet discussion? The conflict between the two countries was becoming more and more intense. This time, there was probably no peace.

After bidding farewell to Li Xiwu, Madam Di Xin rushed back.

For the next few days, Li Xiwu did not see Madam Di Xin again. She knew from the nurse’s private discussion that Country T had been very unstable recently.

There was probably a turmoil, and she did not know when it would erupt. Everyone in the cabinet was in danger, and everyone outside the cabinet was in a panic.

The number of people at the hospital was dwindling. It seemed that those who knew what was going on had begun to escape.

At this moment, Madam Di Xin sent someone to pick Li Xiwu up and take her to a safe place. The moment she left the hospital, an explosion came from a tall building beside the hospital.

The rumbling was deafening.

The fear of the unknown grinned her nerves tightly like a hand- She was afraid to breathe loudly, trembling, unable to take the step of escape.

When she looked up, the air was thick with smoke.

Screams and shouts howled in her ears. Everyone was busy taking care of themselves and fleeing in all directions. Some people were kneeling and praying. Every gesture and expression was filled with piety.

But fate didn’t let the pious go. The fallen building smashed into him.

This scene happened to fall into Li Xiwu’s eyes. She didn’t even have time to shout: Run! That person died in front of her eyes just like that.

The hospital was quickly protected. The people entering and leaving were strictly checked. The explosion of the tall building was the first warning and provocation from the enemy country. Country T decided not to sit still and wait for death. They issued orders to fight at any time.

Li Xiwu was brought home in a daze. The moment she saw her father, all her willpower collapsed. She could no longer support her mental world and fainted.

Around six in the morning, when Li Xiwu woke up, she felt a large wet patch on the pillow. She turned sideways and frowned at the cold touch.

She dreamed for a long time.

She also dreamed a lot.

The past appeared in her dream frame by frame, and she experienced it again. Despair, pain, self-blame, and guilt all surged into her heart, making her experience it for real.

Why was it so painful back then that Pei Jingzhou hypnotized her memory?

She always thought that although the past was tragic, she might be able to bear it. Now she knew she couldn’t take it.

Other than pain, there was still pain. She had experienced too much in Country T. At that time, she was still young and could not bear it at all. If Pei Jingzhou had not gotten someone to hypnotize her memory, she could not imagine how she would have changed now. Would she turn into a lunatic?

She probably would.

Li Xiwu took a deep breath and composed herself. She turned on the bedside lamp and propped herself up. Yaoyao and Youyou were sleeping soundly beside her, but Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen.

He probably didn’t come back all night.

Fortunately, he didn’t come back. If he found out that she’d been crying for so long, he’d blame himself again..
