Recently, Bo Lengqing seemed to have fallen in love with the food I cooked. No matter how busy he was, as long as he had time, he would think of ways to return to my side.
Moreover, I don't know if it was my imagination, but I always felt that he treated me much better than before.
From time to time, he would ask the Black Hawk to give me small gifts at home.
As for what happened at the company, he knew that I was not good at it, so he just let it go. He was afraid that I would be bored when I was at home alone, and he even made Xiao Wei come visit me sometimes …
Although these changes were insignificant to most people, they were already much more relaxed to me.
I had more time to do my own things and to be with my mother.
Mom was getting worse and worse lately, and she was waking up less and less, and she needed more and more company.
I was scared, and I was always afraid something was going to happen.
These days Bo Lengqing will not force me to go home, he will accompany me until Mom goes to sleep before we head back together.
"If you really can't be at ease, then bring your mother to stay at home. I'll arrange for a family doctor for her so that you won't run around."
I was leaning against the window of the car, about to fall asleep, when I heard him speak.
"No!" I refused without thinking, but I was afraid he would guess my thoughts and think too much.
"What I meant was that there's no need … "My mom is used to living in a sanatorium, so she'll be more comfortable living there."
I didn't want my affairs to add to her mental burden. Most importantly, I had had enough of the feeling of being threatened. I couldn't let my mother be a tool for others to threaten me, and I didn't want her to become a puppet again.
Bo Lengqing didn't force me, I was too tired, so I leaned against the window and fell asleep.
This sleep of his lasted for two days and two nights.
When I woke up again, I felt dizzy and I couldn't even muster a bit of energy. When I opened my eyes, I saw Bo Lengqing sitting beside my bed, holding a bowl of chicken soup with a face full of worry.
"You're awake?"
"I …" I struggled out of bed, and he helped me up with a pillow and some soup.
"You've been working too hard recently and your body couldn't bear the fever for two days and two nights so you left. Rest well. Come, drink this bowl of soup first …"
"How is my mother?! How is she?! " Upon hearing that I slept for two days, I didn't care about the soup that Bo Lengqing sent to my mouth, I only wanted to know about my mother's situation.
"Don't worry, I've hired three guards to take turns with us. If anything happens, they will definitely inform us immediately …"
Bo Lengqing patiently comforted my emotions, but right at that moment, his phone rang. He looked at me, picked up the call in front of me, and his expression immediately turned heavy.
"What, what is it?" My heart thumped, because I could faintly hear the voice on the other end of the line, and it was very anxious.
"Alright, I'll be right there." Bo Lengqing said as he hung up the phone. He looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes, then said to the Nanny Wang: "Take care of her."
"Is it from the sanatorium?" I had a bad premonition.
His body froze for a moment before he turned around and nodded at me.
"My mom..." "How is my mother?!"
"We heard from the other side that the situation is unstable and that it isn't good. We need the immediate family members to take care of her …"
"Holy shit!" "I'll change my clothes now and go with you …"
When I heard the news, I panicked and was about to get out of bed, but the moment I did, I felt dizzy. Let alone getting out of bed, I would probably fall head first if I had more strength.
"Where do you think you are going now?" "Listen to me. First, take a good rest. In two days, when your condition has stabilized, I'll bring you there, okay?"
"That's right. If you go like this, your mother will only worry about you. Stay at home and you'll be good at handling everything."
"No …" "Leng Qing, I beg of you, this is the first time I'm begging you. I only advise you to agree to this matter and let me see my mother. I beg of you!"
I used all of my strength to pull Bo Lengqing's hand. I was really scared, I was afraid that if I miss this opportunity, I will never see my mother again …
"Su Cha..." His brows furrowed, but he couldn't resist my pleas. In the end, he sighed and agreed to bring me there.
Along the way, I didn't even have the strength to sit and could only lean on his shoulder. The faint scent of the plants and vegetation on his body made me feel comfortable.
He helped me into my mother's room in the nursing home. The nurses gathered around her bed, and I saw her staring wearily in the direction of the door, as if she were waiting for someone.
I burst into tears.
"Mom, I'm coming. Tea's coming …"
"Tea..." "Tea …"
She used her skinny hand to gently stroke my hair: "Tea, in my entire life, the one thing I feel the most guilty about is you … I … "I …"
Her tears fell drop by drop, but her eyes were focused on the door.
I knew what she was waiting for, and I knew that her waiting would never come.
After that, it was as if she felt something. She let out a mournful smile and then closed her eyes forever.
"Mom!"
I cried my heart out. I held on to her body and refused to let go, unable to believe what had really happened.
Until Bo Lengqing and the guards pulled me away.
The guards took my mother's body to the hospital. Without strength, I didn't even have the power to help her take care of the aftermath. I watched Bo Lengqing follow those people and help me send her off on my final journey in my name.
At that moment, I deeply detested my incompetence! He would have to rely on others even if he wanted the closest person to rest in peace!
I'm the one who deserves to die!
I stayed in my mother's room for a long time, and under her pillow I found a notebook.
That old notebook was the last thing she had left for me.
I could probably guess what she was going to write down.
"Miss Su, this is the letter the Madam has left for you." A nurse handed me a letter before she left.
The handwriting was delicate and strong, and I recognized it at a glance. It was my mother's notebook.
I opened the letter. There were many words written on it that told me to take care of myself, except for the last sentence.
"I owe you a lot in my life. I'm afraid I'm the most unqualified and incompetent mother in the world. My selfishness … As long as you live in such pain, I'm very sorry."
I hugged the letter and cried my heart out. Mom was wrong, she was the best mom in the world, it was her that allowed my dark life to have only a sliver of light, but now even this sliver of light has left me!
I cried for a long time, until I didn't even have the strength to blink. When Bo Lengqing finished cleaning up and turned back, I leaned on the sickbed like a puppet who had lost my soul, and hugged the pillow that my mother used to lie on, not reacting at all.
He carried me out of the sanatorium, into the car, and back to his house, but I shut myself up completely.
Exhausted and sad, I was exhausted. The fever that I had finally managed to retreat from rekindled once more.
I had a very, very long dream. I dreamt that my mother dreamt of Mu Chen, dreamt that the two of them personally told me not to come near, and told me to continue to live well in this world.
"Mom …" Mu Chen... Don't... "Don't leave me …"
I almost cried out, grabbing at the people around me like a lifesaver in the dark silence of the night.
"Mu Chen... I don't have a mother anymore … Mu Chen, where exactly are you … Mu Chen, don't leave me behind... "
I thought I was dreaming until I felt a warm chest. He gently hugged me and caressed my back.
"Tea, don't be afraid, I'm here."
