Chapter 752 - It's A Beautiful Rain

Nicolae didn't really remember what happened. Everything went blur for him. His vision was blurred throughout the procession and he only remembered saying "I do" when the marriage registrar asked if he would take Marie as his lawfully wedded wife and take care of and love her for the rest of their lives.

Nicolae also heard the same answer coming from Marie's lips, but the rest he could not remember what had happened. All took place like a dream, not in real life. He was only moved from his reverie after the wedding procession was over.

The doctors and nurses attending the ceremony congratulated them both with radiant faces. Everyone present also saw Mrs. Lu appear to be smiling happily at her daughter and Nicolae alternately.

"I'm very happy. Thank you, Nicolae, for coming into my daughter's life," the woman whispered softly. Nicolae could only nod. He could see that despite being all smiles, in fact, the fragile woman winced in pain several times.

Until the last moment, Mrs. Lu was still trying her hardest to hide her pain.

"It seems like my mother is very sick." Finally, Marie, who had always pretended not to see her mother's pain, panicked. She threw the bridal bouquet out of her hands and immediately took her mother's wheelchair handle. She wanted to bring her mother back to the ward. "I think we should immediately take her back to her room so she could rest."

Nicolae nodded in agreement. Both then thanked the doctors and nurses who were willing to attend their wedding ceremony. Marie and Nicolae then pushed Mrs. Lu's wheelchair back into her room.

Nobody said anything along the way there. When they arrived, Nicolae carried Mrs. Lu and placed her on the bed. For some reason, his premonition got worse.

He felt the body suddenly turn very cold. He saw that Ms. Lu was still alive, but her breathing slowly became very weak. The woman tried so hard to open her eyes and keep smiling.

Nicolae had never seen a patient who experienced such immense pain but kept trying to display such a warm smile on her face.

"Marie ... I am very happy. Now, I can feel content and meet your father again. I hope you will let me go, my sweet daughter. I hope you will always be happy ..." whispered Mrs. Lu in a choked voice. "I'm sorry, I... can't be with you for much longer."

Marie tried hard to hold back her tears from flowing. She nodded calmly. Her face was also filled with a smile. "Mom, it's okay ... I just want you to relax. I'm fine here ... Nicolae is here with me ... We will take care of each other."

Mrs. Lu nodded slowly. Her left hand pulled Nicolae's hand and her right hand held Marie's. She then joined their hands in hers. She slowly pulled their hands to her c.h.e.s.t with her tiny hands and kissed both hands lovingly as if they were her most valuable treasure.

Ms. Lu's gaze was then distracted as her eyes caught drop after drop of rain falling through the window. For a moment, she looked stunned. Her gaze stared straight out as if the falling rain was the most beautiful sight in the world.

Marie whispered to Nicolae, "My mother hasn't seen the rain for a long time. Every time she woke up, the weather was always hot and sunny. She really likes the smell of petrichor ... the special smell coming from the ground when it is raining..."

"Oh, is that so?" Nicolae nodded. Even though the window of the room was closed and in fact they could not actually smell the rain, but the expression of happiness on Mrs. Lu's face made them feel like they could smell the rain from inside the room.

Both of them let Ms. Lu enjoy the view outside. They were amazed, because, for a moment, her expression looked like a small child who was fascinated by the beautiful natural scenery.

"It's beautiful," came the voice from her lips repeatedly.

The rain was getting heavier and now the view from the window had completely been replaced by the heavy downpour of rain. Mrs. Lu seemed to enjoy the rain falling with all her heart. She closed her eyes as if she could breathe the smell of rain falling outside her window.

Half whispering, she said, "It's a beautiful rain. I'm so happy."

Then she closed her eyes and breathed his last.

For a moment, Marie and Nicolae seemed unable to believe that the fragile woman had just died. Nicolae had not faced a patient for a long time, and the feeling in his c.h.e.s.t this time felt very suffocating.

Marie cried in a poignant voice. She almost looked like losing her mind because she was wailing and pounding on her c.h.e.s.t. Her cry filled the room, which now felt like it had lost oxygen and became intensely suffocating the moment Ms. Lu took her last breath.

Marie must accept the fact that her beloved mother finally passed away. The death of her mother just proved her assumption. All this time, her mother only survived to see her happy. After Mrs. Lu saw that Marie found a man who loved her, and after she witnessed their wedding, Mrs. Lu finally let go... and died in peace.

The girl's pitiful cry was accompanied by the heavy rain, making the atmosphere felt so sad. Subconsciously Nicolae wrapped his arms around Marie's shoulder, trying to calm the girl.

He could do nothing but rub her shoulders to make her feel a little support, to make the girl think that someone was there for her in the midst of a difficult time like this.

Nicolae let Marie cry for more than an hour until finally the girl was exhausted and she couldn't shed tears anymore. His hands patiently rubbed her back to show sympathy and to calm her.
