Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Child, are you awake? _1

The doctor knew that some families of patients didn’t like cremation, preferring burial. However, due to current national regulations, if someone passed away inside a hospital, they would be sent to a funeral parlor for cremation. Even though the doctor made his suggestion out of goodwill, it felt like a knife cutting into Ye Xingguang’s heart.

Ye Junqing, supporting the freezing body of Ye Xingguang, asked the doctor, “How much longer can my father-in-law hold on?”

The doctor told the truth: “Not more than two or three days.”

“Stop talking,” Ye Xingguang covered her face with her hands.

Ye Junqing waved his hand and told the doctors, “We’ll take some time to think this over. Thank you for your hard work, please take a break for now.”

“We’re sorry we couldn’t be more help, Mr. Ye is too kind.”

These were doctors who Ye Junqing had hired at a high price. Even though they had received their payment, they couldn’t do anything more for the patient.

Ye Junqing said, “If we decide to go home, we hope you experts can accompany us.”

“Of course,” the doctor agreed.

After the doctors left, Ye Junqing led Ye Xingguang to the end of the corridor and stood beside her, allowing her to lean on him. His comforting words turned pale. He didn’t know how to ease the pain in her heart at this moment, he could only hold her in his arms and gently pat her back.

“My dad will be fine, right?” Ye Xingguang was very upset.

Ye Junqing didn’t speak, his long arms were just around her.

“Can’t you just say something? Tell me my dad will be fine.”

Ye Junqing remained silent, hugging her even tighter.

Tears ran down Ye Xingguang’s face, “I can’t lose my dad. He’s raised me for so many years and I’ve just started working. I haven’t even had the chance to be filial to him yet. I haven’t. What should I do?”

She still remembers the first time she met her father.

At that time, Geshu Chen said that the boy had been thrown into the sea to feed the fishes. She searched across the world for the little boy, but eventually, exhausted, she passed out on the sea surface. It was her father, who was on a sea trip with her mother, who saved her from the sea.

She remembered that when she woke up, she was lying in a comfortable bed covered with warm blankets. She recalls her father walking in with a bowl of herbal medicine. Seeing her awake, her father put down the medicine, sat on the bed, and said, “Child, are you awake?”

At that time she didn’t know who the adoptive father was, and she was wary, so she didn’t want to speak.

The adoptive father then picked up the medicine and said, “Child, come on, drink the medicine.”

She pressed her lips together, fearing it would be poisoned, and she refused to drink.

The adoptive father didn’t rush her, he just spooned a gulp, gently blew on it to make it less hot, took a small sip himself, and then offered it to her, saying, “It’s not poisoned, be a good girl, take your medicine.”

Even then she was still cautious, “You drink half of it before I drink.”

Unexpectedly, the adoptive father really drank half of it before feeding her again.

Then, the adoptive father asked her name.

She remembered that the boy had just given her a name, saying that she was the most beautiful starlight in the sky on the sea that night. So she said, “My name is Ye Xingguang.”

She hadn’t experienced much warmth growing up, so at first she wasn’t very receptive to the kindness of her adoptive father. During her recovery at his house, she was like a little hedgehog that couldn’t be warmed. Until Geshu Chen located their island and demanded that her adoptive father hand her over.

She didn’t know how her adoptive father had gotten Geshu Chen off the island, but she did know that her adoptive father was injured during that time. Afterwards, he developed uremia and renal failure.
