4714 Never Too Late to Love (121)

“Mommy, what are you thinking about?”

“I…”

Noticing her hesitation, he asked, “Didn’t you go to the hospital earlier on? Has Nana awaken?”

“No.”

He was spot-on. The woman shook her head, looking clearly disappointed. “I wonder when she’ll wake up.”

“Mmm…” Mu Yazhe’s expression darkened as he placed the controller back on the table.

Yueyao looked at her mother and then at her father, feeling rather desolate. She said quietly, “Is Big Brother at the hospital accompanying her?”

“Yes. He probably won’t be coming home tonight.”

“It’s good to let him watch over her. Who knows, she might wake up soon.”

She might wake up soon…

She might wake up soon…

How many times she had heard him say this. It was more of a hope than a guess.

However, hope was only hope, in reality it came to nothing.

They had done whatever they could. After gathering all the experts in relevant fields around the world, they could only say they found Natalia’s situation troublesome.

Many people asserted that the girl might never wake up and urged them to give up.

Only a family like the Mu family could afford to keep Natalia in this state for this long. If it had been an ordinary family, perhaps they would have simply pulled the plug.

Just as Yun Shishi was worrying about this matter, Mu Yazhe consoled her. “You don’t have to worry too much. Fate has a plan for everything. Life is always full of disasters. We’ve gone through many crises to get to where we are now. Perhaps, this is Nana’s fate. She has to resolve it herself and survive it. We’ve already done what we can.”

Yun Shishi nodded. “I know, and I comfort myself with that, but it doesn’t sit well with me to see her lying in bed, growing thinner by the day.”

Mu Yazhe frowned slightly. “Actually, there are too many things in this world that we can’t understand. Science is so advanced now, and there are also many illnesses that we don’t know how to start treating.”

“Uh huh.”

Yueyao asked, “Mommy, did you remember to bring the flowers?”

“I won’t forget.” The woman smiled. It was a rare thing for someone as careless as Yueyao to remember the flowers.

The flowers in the ward were always fresh. However, no matter how fresh they were and how carefully they took care of them, they would not withstand the changes of time.

Therefore, the flowers in the ward were always replaced. It was always necessary to ensure that there would always be fresh bouquets placed on the windowsill to symbolize life.

She patted her daughter’s head. “Go to bed early!”

“I want to continue playing with Daddy!” Yueyao pouted and said, “I haven’t cleared the level yet!”

“Don’t you have class tomorrow?”

“Mmm…” Only then did Yueyao tactfully stand up.

At this point, Yueyao was already an undergraduate in university. Although her schoolwork was no longer a great concern, maintaining a healthy schedule was the most important thing.

Back then, Yun Shishi had considered sending Yueyao abroad to study. Although Mu Yazhe did not make it explicit, the fact was that he was very reluctant and couldn’t bear it. Hence, he found many excuses to object.

For example…

It was not safe in other countries.

Racism and discrimination…

There were always terrorist attacks…

He found many example incidents and deliberately told Yun Shishi about them.

How could the woman not see through his intentions? She decided to play dumb and tacitly agreed to let Yueyao stay in the country to attend university.

She had wanted to send Yueyao overseas not because she thought that the quality of education overseas was good, but because she wanted her to be more independent and see more of the world.
